iOS -> Settings -> Privacy and Security -> Photos -> Facebook -> Set limited access

  You'd have to block nearly every app from ever seeing any image you don't want Facebook getting ahold of including apps that are made by other companies. Almost everyone uses their libraries, they practically have a shell on your phone (which is funny because you're not allowed that on your own device for "security.")

    As much as I’m annoyed when my iPhone makes me do the dumb “give access to these photos to the app” dance, I’m happy they block that, at least. However, I wish they’d grow a pair and just outright block the FB and other similar dependencies that make such stuff necessary.

When the giants fight, which one of them is an evil monopolist, and which is the defender of freedom? (This is why I actually like the iPhone approach more than the macOS approach these days; thought I do miss the late 90s when I didn't need to care because nothing had any mechanism to spy on me anyway).

    Argh… I didn’t even think about that
