Does iOS do anything to prevent this?

  Yes, iOS prevents you from directly accessing the images and apps sharing files between themselves. Which has been one of the major reasons some people used Android - the ability to use their phone more like a computer.

    No, iOS prevents the application from directly accessing files without the user’s permission. The user can choose to allow access granularly to a file via the file picker within the app. There are also separate permissions to allow apps to read and write from the media library.
