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.

I wanted to forward my calls based on a schedule. Like forward my calls after 4pm to this number. Nope, can’t do it. It’s an easy thing but no, i need to buy a separate app that allows that function

getting my family off of google is proving to be a years long process but it's going to be worth it and i'm not letting corpo scum fool me again
