The operative word is VS. It should be incredibly simple to get an image from any iphone to Google Photos, or anywhere else in Google Drive. It's not. It's all but impossible. I've spent days alreading combing through the literature, and every soluton has a step or steps that just DON'T EXIST. eg: This is from a Google help site:

How to get iPhone photos on Google Drive?

Upload & find files1.

On your iPhone or iPad, open the Google Drive app.*

Tap Add. File upload **<--------(1. emphasis added- there IS NO "Add"!)

2. Find and tap the files you want to upload.

** The whole premise of this "help" is that you have to "open Google Drive ON YOUR IPHONE OR IPAD." That should added to Step 1 highlighted, bolded. Because if you open Drive on your laptop, you're just out of luck getting a Google Photo on it there. NOTHING works. (And before you cite me an out-of-date reference for what supposedly works, please try it yourself, now, to be sure.)

Sounds like a Google issue, not Apple, try posting in their forums.
