Notes

From Google Photos, it looks like this is possible on both iOS and Android. On Android it's only possible in android versions lower than Android 12 if the app is your default photo viewer. In Android 12 and higher it's possible for any app to delete photos without confirmation by targeting android 12 and requesting the special media management permission. More details can be found here: https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/shared/media#management-permission

this would be nice. Potentially down-sample images? or set an age limit, where older images are removed from the device, and if you want to view them it grabs them from the server?

I dont know if i would want to just remove them immediately.

I would also want to be able to totally remove images from both phone and server.

It would probably be useful to set a threshold on the age of photos. Like delete everything that's backed up and older than 2 Years for example.

Maybe this warrants its own issue, but I'll put it here for now: It'd also be nice if the delete prompt allowed you to only delete files from the server, while keeping them on the local device.

Actually, just like Google Photos I'd like to delete photos from the backup (server) as well. When background backup is implemented, all photos will be transferred, also the ones that you delete from your phone. (Who doesn't take multiple pictures only to save the best one?)

Yea, would be good to have both all options available to you, could just say Delete From: Server, Local, Both as clickable options

This feature would really be a game-changer for Immich. It is the one feature I've been missing from all Google Photos replacements!
