Google photos on ios is literally a hostage situation. Remove key functionalities like copying an image or editing an image unless you give them full unrestricted access to your entire photo library. (The holy grail of surveillance capitalism data). Data extortion masquerading as a service.

    What other option is there for automatic backups, image editing and touchups, and index and searching for photos?

    Immich and Gimp. There are tons of alternatives but people don’t bother, expecting something at least as good and as “cheap”. That’s a losing mindset.

    We have to use and contribute, paying or not, to actual alternatives even though they are not 100% equivalent otherwise incumbent keep on imposing their rules.

      Stopped reading at gimp. GTFO 🤣

      Just clueless nerds everywhere expecting people wanting to deal with editing hundreds of photos. Get a clue.

        Blocked. I don’t need this kind of low quality interactions, even less while genuinely trying to help others.
