Google's digital whiteboard for schools and businesses lasted 8 years.

Maps and Photos are ok IMO. Slowly getting shittier though.

Maps were bought by Google from different company. Photos is AFAIK actually made by them.

Photos as an online photo gallery is their implementation yes but they bought up Picasa the desktop gallery early on. That software included tagging and I believe face recognition by the end.

Wasn’t Google Photos super racist a few years back?

Photos is cool but weirdly much lower than every other gallery app.

For local gallery. Simple gallery is better.

But for searching your photos, Google photos is still pretty great.

Yep those are the two I use!

I highly suggest taking a look at Aves for a local gallery app. I use it in combination with Immich.
