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.

No. You have to choose to download google photos.

Many people have it because they’ve got no clue about this stuff and google photos is for “free cloud storage” or the “shared family album”.
