Will fill up all your storage and is impossible to get rid of pictures

If you have an iPhone and have enough storage/icloud space do not download this app. The Google Photos picture back up will move all (most?? Doesn’t even seem like all) your photos to Google Photos duplicating them and filling up your Google storage and then it’s so difficult to delete them (the selecting functionality is so glitchy and doesn’t allow you to select more than a 100 ish at a time). This is basically a trap to get you to pay for more Google storage. If there is a way to fix this / fully just shut down your Google Photos I would love to know! Thanks.

Not clear enough

Thankfully iPhone has a recover photos option, because I deleted my entire photo library through Google Photos thinking I was deleting photos I accidentally backed up. Needs to be much more clear what you’re doing
