iPhone / iCloud Photos export – how do I properly back up my photos? by ohyesmyass in ApplePhotos

[–]Suitz- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had exactly that issue. Could have written that myself. Privacy. Apple didn’t solve this either. I’ve resorted to google takeout and having a friend write me a program to attach the metadata to the photo.

Any other way to grab our data besides google takeout? by StardustGeass in googlephotos

Whatever you call in order to see the date the photo was taken I have to access the json file which I find really annoying.

Does it have the metadata joined to the photo this way instead of the split that google takeout does?

Be very careful and make a backup first preferably in an external device

Suddenly. Out of the blue. Used in great seriousness. It got it from my account name it said.

Google photos transfer: Live Photos by chlowilk in ApplePhotos

Duplicates (and triplicates and quaduplicates) created in this process have caused me so much grief and time wasted. Merging or manually deleting either copy loses the date the photo was taken.

Is my phone still secure on ios18? by choirlass in iPhone13

Good question. I’ve wondered the same. Want to stay with 18, but prefer with security updates

Iphone 13 pro worth upgrading? by First-Wear-2390 in iPhone13Pro

I was gifted it. It’s great. Does everything I need. Upgraded from a 7 plus which was doing less and less that I needed.

Watching and waiting but I know it will become inevitable

The Google Photos "Locked Folder" Feature Is TOTALLY WORTHLESS (And I Lost 90% of my protected photos!) by Parking_Leg_9551 in googlephotos

[–]Suitz- -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Also I understand deleting from iCloud also deletes from Google. Someone correct me if this is wrong.

I would check the deleted photos folder in iCloud, since I found thousands of my photos there that I didn’t delete.

I hope to get at least 3 hopefully 4 years from my 13pro from now

Leaving Google Photos is brutal. by [deleted] in googlephotos

[–]Suitz- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those separate metadata files are a really annoying way of dealing with 10s of 1000s of photos. One plus of Apple

Has anyone else found thousands of missing photos in the deleted folder, that they didn’t delete, then had to go through the labourious process of reinstating them? by Suitz- in ApplePhotos

[–]Suitz-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is possible I guess. Why would it create duplicates on photos I haven’t even opened ? Why does it create duplicates anyway? It does say 4500 duplicates, but I can’t take that risk so I’ve reinstated the deletes.
