Google wants its AI to see all the photos of "you and your loved ones." Billions of users must now decide.

Google confirms its latest update can scan all your photos to “use actual images of you and your loved ones” in AI image generation. That means Gemini seeing who you know and what you do. You likely have tens or hundreds of thousands of photos. They’re all exposed if you update.

    If you install immich in your homelab, you can just transfer all the images off your device very easily with the immich app.

    Probably the only way to keep them private from big tech. But the long term solution is to not use the official Android or Apple systems and to root your phone and install cyanogenmod or something similar without Google apps.

    But that means some apps wont work at all, so thats the price to pay for that freedom.

    Or you can just buy a separate camera and stop using your phone for that.
