I'm a big fan of how iOS lets you decide which images are available from the camera roll. So the app can have "access" to the camera roll but there is that intermediate stage where I can scope down which images are in it.
- p_l 2y agoThat's present already under limited access, afaik - where images made available to application are mediated through file picker
- shantara 2y agoSome iOS apps like Google Photos refuse to work unless you give them full access to the camera roll. I don’t know how they detect the limited access scope, but it is a fundamental design flaw that it is possible at all for an app to do this.
- soraminazuki 2y agoIt's egregious how it won't even let you view photos if you don't give it full access. This was one of the motivating factors for me to de-Google.
- shantara 2y agoSame here, it was the final straw that pushed me away from using Google services. But I would argue that Apple's behavior is equally egregious here for not enforcing the same permission usage guidelines they require the smaller devs to comply with.
