Google photos on ios is literally a hostage situation. Remove key functionalities like copying an image or editing an image unless you give them full unrestricted access to your entire photo library. (The holy grail of surveillance capitalism data). Data extortion masquerading as a service.

No experience with them so can't at all vouch for them, but it looks like there are providers who will do this.

I self host Immich with an off site backup (=raspberry pi at in-laws house, all over WireGuard). Can't recommend Immich enough!
