Automatic backups, decent editing, magic eraser, great search either by face, context, etc.. I can search for dogs, waterfalls, trees, clouds, whatever and it usually gives me exactly what I want.

I’d have to look into editing and what magic eraser is but my phone offers the same functionality. I don’t have automatic backups though which is a huge plus. Thanks.

What do you mean offers the same functionality, what search options can it do locally? Genuinely curious

I have an iPhone 12 Mini and in the Photos app I can e.g. search for specific faces (it groups similar faces behind a folder) and can e.g. search for „Dog“ and it gives me all dogs. I don’t know by how much the cloud solution is better though and maybe I didn’t understand it and you mean something entirely different?

Ah no that makes perfect sense, Google photos must be the apple Icloud photo app equivalent for Android
