Do they have access to your photos when you go to the photo picker when you want to send a picture or do they have all the time access to your photos once you gave them permission ?
- ReverseCold 7y agoThere's two ways you can get pictures on iOS. 1. UIImagePickerController - This opens the system image picker and ONLY returns the user selected image to the application. 2. "Access Camera Roll" Permission - This is what WhatsApp, Facebook, etc. use so that they can show their own image picker UI. It just gives the app permanent access to APIs that can retrieve photos. Both leak EXIF information to the app, but the first one only leaks the information for a specific picture.
