I moved from Android to Iphone, and to have my photos with me I used google photos, with backup and sync feature turned on and as expected I can see all of my Android photos I backed up to google.

But I can’t see the google images in iphone’s photos app, only in google photos app.

Also, there seems to be only a one way sync, photos taken on the camera appear both on apple’s photos and google photos, but:

• If I delete the photo from the apple photos, it still appears on google photos.
• If I delete the photos from google photos, it deletes it from both iphone’s photos and google photos, this is what I expected to happen but in both directions.
• If I edit an image on iphone’s gallery, it replaces the old image, but in google photos I’ll have both the image before and after the edit, because of the one way sync.

Anyone here has experience working with google photos on iphone? Ideally I would like them to sync both ways, I want to work with iphone’s gallery while having seamless backup to google in addition to icloud, but currently it seems impossible because of the one way sync, it’s ironically only possible if I use google photos as my main gallery.
