There are worlds between. One case is about pictures on your device. The other case is about pictures on Googles "devices" or network. You had to upload it to Google. EMail is also nothing like a letter anyway. It's a postcard. Everybody can read it.

No, one case is about photos you upload to iCloud Photos only, and the other case is about every single thing in your Google account.

>So if iCloud Photos is disabled, the system does not work, which is the public language in the FAQ. I just wanted to ask specifically, when you disable iCloud Photos, does this system continue to create hashes of your photos on device, or is it completely inactive at that point?

If users are not using iCloud Photos, NeuralHash will not run
