That's irrelevant if the information they do send is sufficient to deduce "Eiffel tower" or "dog" out of it: that's too much information to send.

They don't have to send anything since they do all the image recognition on the user's own device.

Sending everything to a server is, however, how Google's service works.

  • No they don't, the whole reason for Homomorphic encryption is sending stuff out of your device.

    You don't need any encryption to process locally.

    • The erroneous claim was that Apple handles image recognition and image search on servers, the way Google does.

      Apple handles those tasks on the users own device(s) for privacy reasons.
