- jjice 1y agoI believe so. I'd imagine the image has to be uploaded to Google Photos as well, since most of their nice features like personal tagging require that. Part of the reason I switched to an iPhone was for all the on device stuff that Google insists you use the cloud for.
- scottyah 1y agoSame, the google phones just absolutely hated that I went into airplane mode frequently but still wanted to do things like listen to music, view and edit notes, etc. God forbid I try to add to my shopping list while camping.
- tucnak 1y agoOne compromise in GrapheneOS is to use Storage Scopes to limit the scope of Google Photos to select folders, or potentially even disable Network permissions for it altogether. I use Google Photos for sharing photos with my partner and family, and I can do this by moving photos around on disk so that they enter the scope. The camera app from Google is great, and so is the keyboard: neither gets Network permission on my phone.
