Just checked again: not for Discord. No idea about other apps owned by Tencent.
It's notable Discord was developed as an American startup, and it's not clear what Tencent's involvement is. Regardless, for me it's too much access for a chat app to have in exchange for the convenince of sharing a photo from my phone.
- zionic 9y agoA better solution would be for Apple to provide a decent photo picker that functions at the system level, and require a separate (special) permission to access all photos with the appropriate warning if that app needs a fancy dancy photo picker. Why do I need to give snapchat access to all photos ever just to post from my camera roll?
- thisacctforreal 9y agoFor the longest time that was how I thought it worked :/
- jacobwil 9y agoIt already does work like this in iOS 11. Apps can present the System photo picker to you and receive only your selected photo while having their Photos access set to "Never". If you want to try it out install the Wire messenger (if you make the account with a web browser you don't need to provide a phone number), and try to attach a photo but deny Photo library permissions. (Here's the buttons to press: https://imgur.com/a/gc5Iq https://imgur.com/a/gc5Iq). Other apps work this way on iOS 11 but this is the one that came to mind.
