Ugh Google's so frustrating. They make great software and products but throw in the towel on anything that's not immediately profitable since ads have too high a margin and their investors get restless...
I have already taken baby steps to get off Google Photos. Next on my list is my Android TV. I heard Apple will be releasing another home device this fall so I will buy whatever it is. Apple should thank Google for being so ridiculous.
What's your Google Photos replacement? My key use is that it recognises my son and automatically shares all pictures of him with my wife, it's very convenient.
I am using iCloud Shared Photo Library. It automatically shares everything with up to five people. It is a bit confusing because now you have Personal and Shared Libraries. I have not grok it all yet.
Yeah zero percent chance I switch to Apple anything. Their insistence on vendor lock in or making cross platform anything super annoying is a complete non starter for me...
Most of my family is European so Android devices all around, no one has Apple anything.
