Google photos on ios is literally a hostage situation. Remove key functionalities like copying an image or editing an image unless you give them full unrestricted access to your entire photo library. (The holy grail of surveillance capitalism data). Data extortion masquerading as a service.

WhatsApp is awful with permissions. I couldn't find a way to use it without giving it access to all my contacts. I installed it on the work profile and uninstalled it as soon as I didn't need it anymore.

In many countries around the world it's the only way people communicate. If I want to keep in contact with my family (and I do), I have no choice but to use it.

I've tried to get them on Telegram or Signal, no luck.
