On a tangent, I don’t understand how Apple’s App Store allows the Google Photos app to insist on being given access to all photos on your device rather than selected photos to even work (even just to view photos shared elsewhere). Seems like an obvious violation of privacy and terms around not requiring unnecessary permissions. I think the app should be banned until they provide an option to gracefully respect users’ privacy settings rather than holding unrelated features hostage if they don’t get to spy on every photo on your device.

The worst part is that you can’t even browse your photos on Google without giving full local library permissions. If you want to upload nothing and just see the old stuff, gotta give them content to train their models.
