Trying to move from Google Photos - Is Ente the right choice long-term? Trying to move from Google Photos - Is Ente the right choice long-term?
Discussion

I'm planning to leave Google Photos and looking for something that will last 10+ years. Here's what I need:

Must-haves:

  • E2EE

  • Location-based memories

  • Recaps/memories feature

  • OCR (text search in images)

  • Smart search (faces, objects, scenes)

  • Image editing

  • Affordable pricing

Ente seems to cover most of these, which is why I'm seriously considering it.

Before I commit, I need to know:

  1. Long-term stability - How confident are you that Ente will be around in 10 years? What makes you trust it for the long haul?

  2. AI editing features - Does Ente have any plans for local AI editing (like object removal, magic eraser, etc.)? Or is that not on the roadmap?

  3. UI updates - Are there any major UI revamps planned? Just want to know what to expect.

  4. Missing features - What features from Google Photos do you miss the most in Ente?

  5. Alternatives - Should I also look at any other options before deciding?

I really want to make the right choice here since I'm moving 10+ years of photos. What do you guys think? Any regrets or things you wish you knew before switching?

Thanks!

New to Ente Photos - Hidden Faces Unhiding Themselves New to Ente Photos - Hidden Faces Unhiding Themselves

I’m not sure if this is a bug or I’m moving something. Just migrated from Google Photos, got all the photos in, all good.

Been slowly assigning/reconciling all faces. Of course, there are many people in photos I don’t know or care about. I’ve hidden their faces but after a few minutes they just pop back up into the list.

If this a known issue?

Am I missing something?
