A bunch of major apps like Discord do/did that too. WhatsApp also occasionally tries/tried to access photos for no reason, which I caught thanks to iOS 14's "Would you like to give this app access to more photos?" prompt. Then there's Instagram: https://www.macrumors.com/2020/07/25/instagram-unexpectedly-accessing-camera/ https://www.macrumors.com/2020/07/25/instagram-unexpectedly-... It was iOS that outed them and not Android. This is why I prefer Apple to the other major corps; they're still the lesser evil among the sea of villainy out there.
