But according to this article you can avoid this by not uploading photos to Apple’s service. Google is already doing this when you upload photos to Google’s service and Microsoft too. The distinction is whether the matching happens on-device before upload or in the cloud after upload, it seems. If Apple already does on-device ML, it makes sense they would add more photo processing client-side to take advantage of encrypted or archival blob storage server-side. Additionally, there’s still the option of using a third-party camera app, which wouldn’t upload photos by default at all.
