My iPhone photos are getting backed up to iCloud and Google Photos. I’m
considering disabling Google Photos because my storage quota is getting
full from other files.

Other than using a desktop browser to login to iCloud, is there a way to
view the photos being stored on iCloud? I know I can see the photos on the
iPhone Photos app, but I want to see what has actually been backed up for
verification purposes. Google Photos allows that.

How does Google Photos "allow" it?

And what would be wrong with using a browser to log in to iCloud to
check the totals and see that they match?

By providing a separate phone app to see what’s on the cloud.

Different steps really no more, and on the same device.

You can sign in to iCloud in Safari on an iPhone or iPad. And since a
browser is something you want on your smartphone anyway, you actually
need to have one LESS app in order to check what is in the cloud this way.

I just did it.

I signed into iCloud in Safari on my iPhone and I can see precisely how
many photos and videos are there.

Overkill and typical Google nonsense.

Same device just switching to the browser. What are you afraid of?

Just like the Google app being so pushy to auto upload photos. Why do
they want our photos so bad??
