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...

This post confuses me. You can log out of google photos. You in no way need to link it to your account and you aren't forced to upload your pics to the cloud. Am I missing something here?

The pics were already uploaded to the cloud, but once you delete from cloud, they get deleted from the phone automatically. I want to keep them instead

I'm so confused. Sorry. Can't you just unlink your account from photos and then delete them from cloud on desktop? I am currently using photos without an account and have never had an issue like this. And I HATE things that make you use accounts.

it has automatic login? Can't try as now it's disabled

No it doesn't. I mean maybe initially but just log out! I mean by all means keep it disabled. Do whatever you want. But there is an easy solution for your issue and it involves literally like 2 clicks. Sorry if i am misunderstanding the issue.
