Yah. But I would think the permissions would be a OS level thing that can’t be bypassed simply because Google also wrote the app.

- marssaxman 1y agoWhat OS? The one Google wrote, underlying these services?
- chii 1y agoit's very easy to imagine the scenario where this happens. Those photos may have already been uploaded to google's web servers (from my understanding, this happens with google photos by default?), from which a preview has been generated. The permission is at the android app level, and is requested at some point to ensure that the permission model is respected from the POV of the user. I can imagine the permission request being out of sync!

- TeMPOraL 1y agoGoogle Photos is not a mobile app. Google Photos is a SaaS webapp that happens to have a companion app for Android. Whatever OS-level settings affect the Android app itself, they have no bearing on what Google Photos the SaaS can or cannot do.
