Imagine how much time could have been saved if they had just made Photos a normal app from the beginning?

- shuckles 3y agoIn reality it would play out a lot more like the Web Apps episode: if the barrier to entry for any new idea was it had to meet the EU's extensive list of arbitrary rules, most new ideas would never be realized. I guess it's time saved, but not in the sense you think.
- st3fan 3y agoYou can uninstall the photos app. And reinstall it from the App Store via https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/photos/id1584215428 https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/photos/id1584215428 Or you can install a completely alternative app to manage your photos. The only thing iOS does in that case is provide the “Album” functionality.
- shuckles 3y agoI think you can hide it but not uninstall it. My understanding is the EU's objection is that Photos app still provides the default photo picker functionality when the app is gone; and they'd like Google Photos to satisfy that role if a user prefers. Of course, the EU's approach here is to be coy about what it wants and only make it explicit alongside a headline-grabbing fine.
