Why photos app (using iCloud 2T storage) so slow compared to Google Photos?
I store all my photos and videos on iCloud on my photos app.
Downloading videos takes an unreasonably long time.
To make sure that it is not my internet speed, I have tested it in multiple locations against Google Photos.
For a video that is about 10 minutes long, Google Photos is about 3 times faster for me to download.
I have tested it on high speed wifi and 5G cell network in Germany, the UK, Japan and Singapore and Google Photos is always much faster.
It's not really an issue for me when downloading photos but because I take many long videos, relying on iCloud has been a real struggle.
Is anyone facing similar issues?
