Why doesn’t Apple address the two‑way deletion issue with Google Photos?
Hello,
- I have 30K photos and sharing albums on AP to non-Apple family (the extended one) users suck
- I have a 2TB Google One, so it was smooth with albums sharing
- I noticed the fact that Apple can't delete photos on GP but Google can.Then I started managing my photos on GP
- I got tired and got back on iPhone with the glass update and used it mainly
- Now it's a mess because I cleaned Screenshots on iOS but and GP still has the whole mess. I started cleaning but I have to switch to see which one I kept and deleted
- Yesterday I used Slidebox, an efficient app to organize, but it is based on iOS so it doesn't delete on GP too
Isn’t Apple aware of this issue? Do other people who have the same problem have any tips? I tried to find a way to resync my entire Google Photos app, but I was told it is not safe.
