On the iPhone this was actually fixed in iOS 11. The standard image picker (UIImagePickerController) now runs out of process, and no longer pops up a permission dialog, but instead just gives the app access to only the photo(s) the user selected.

- tomwilson 9y agoOnly fixed if apps want use the UIImagePicker though - many want to show their own image picking interface.
- Twisell 9y agoBut so it’s developer choice to ask for more permission that it really need, Apple seems to provide a privacy friendly framework.
- Sylos 9y agoWhat they're saying is that it should be the user's choice, not the developer's. If I want to run your gallery app with only a handful of the pictures that I have, I should be able to do so. Because ultimately, developers don't really need to care. Too many users don't understand the implications at all. And if it's for example a messenger that all your friends use, you don't really have much of a choice than to trust it, if you want to talk to your friends.
