Being able to use the mobile app offline or standalone

One thing I really like about google photos is how it can replace the default photos app entirely

I feel like there are only few things missing for this type of experience here. If you could only see you local pictures next the the remote ones and use the app without logging in, we would basically be there!

This could allow for some interesting use-cases, like options to automatically offload local copies for images newer than one year or only keeping low resolution versions locally.

One could also see cerian albums being marked as "both on server and device", keeping them in sync with other devices while still being easily accessible!

This may not be something to focus on this early, but it would be a really cool feature!
Also, it's my first time writing feature requests, so I'm sorry if I messed something up! 😅
