What's your Google Photos replacement? My key use is that it recognises my son and automatically shares all pictures of him with my wife, it's very convenient.

I am using iCloud Shared Photo Library. It automatically shares everything with up to five people. It is a bit confusing because now you have Personal and Shared Libraries. I have not grok it all yet.

I also found downloading from Google Photos super confusing. I ended up buying this tool which downloads and fixes the metadata.

Yeah zero percent chance I switch to Apple anything. Their insistence on vendor lock in or making cross platform anything super annoying is a complete non starter for me...

Most of my family is European so Android devices all around, no one has Apple anything.

I haven't set it up myself yet, but Immich has been making the rounds lately. It seems to have facial recognition too.
