I hate Google photos because I feel it’s too invasive with that cloud backup that you never really know if a photo is online or on device, so I disabled it in my Google Pixel.

Now Google camera is broken, says it can’t show previews until I enable Google photos again.

Is there any workaround? Tried with many other galleries, but seems it’s hard coded to Google photos…

    Good god. Why is Google trying to act like Apple now? I had no idea they were building such a gross walled garden. Thank you for giving OP a way out and warning the rest of us what kind of trap the Pixel has become.
