🧪 Call for beta testers!
We're wiring up a Google Photos importer for our zeitkapsl desktop client. Problem is... we haven't touched Google Photos in years — so our test data is basically "hello world.jpg".
Got thousands of photos/videos on Google Photos? Help us throw real-world entropy at our importer!

Can anyone with a regular and recent #stockROM#Android phone confirm if they were able to uninstall (not deactivate!) pre-installed apps like #Chrome, #Youtube, #GoogleMaps, #GoogleDrive, #GooglePhotos, or #Gmail ?
Hmmm, so #Google lobbyists claim "All apps on Android can be uninstalled" but from my testing on #Android 16 with all latest updates on a #Pixel this appears to be false.
Google's own #DMA compliance report from March 2025 says this is wrong:
"Android allows to uninstall apps by: (i) fully deleting apps that are downloaded or pre-installed in the user partition; and (ii) uninstalling apps in the system partition such that they are returned into an uninstalled state."

The Google Photos alternative PixelUnion, a hosted Immich solution based in Europe, made good on another of their promises to address the issues I pointed out in my feedback. They added an RSS feed to their blog and now joined Mastodon. They're also planning a guide for migrating from Google Photos as I also suggested.
Feedback to Big Tech platforms is slightly less effective.
