Well the scanning was allegedly supposed to take place only when uploading. If a user chooses not to opt-in for cloud library the device scanning was allegedly supposed to be turned off.

So yeah allegedly no worst.

You might notice i used the word "allegedly" a lot, it's because we are speculating about a feature that was never actually rolled out and that nobody audited externally to my knowledge. If you don't trust Apple then this argument don't apply and you are probably better of not using an iPhone.

Nonetheless it's still not worst than actually rolled out CSAM scanning feature of Google Cloud that already had major user adversial effect. So you should trust Google even less and you definitely shouldn't use a stock Android device.
