The more offensive part is, Google Photos is not only the default image viewer on (Google's) Android, but (Google's) Camera app will only open pictures in it too. So it's cloud crap that's _also_ literally programmed into a lot of people's cameras.

Check out https://github.com/CaramelFur/GPhotosShim which stops GCam from using Photos. This is why my gOS uses GCam with network denied (because it works way better on Pixels than the OSS equivalent).

I just tried and the Google camera app uses an internal browser, not the photos app. I think it's something you have set on your device.
