Yeah, all gallery apps show the same on-device photos, the difference is where they backup/upload them, which is the part important to privacy.

Apple iCloud having the E2E encryption feature is definitely an advantage over Google Photos. All I'm saying is that neither really have much to do with the OS. Google Photos isn't even a preinstalled app on most Android phones, just one of many options you could install, same as on iOS.

Yeah but if you disable the iCloud upload for the photos app they are all on-device

Same goes for any other app, including Google Photos
