For a while, some users have been communicating with us with concern that some applications can access photos without permission, is this reasonable? Are there really some apps that can access your photos without your permission? And why doesn't a notification appear that the app wants to access the Pictures folder, and opens the photos immediately?
Certainly you came across this, and perhaps you did not pay attention to it and thought that you gave permission for the application to access your photos, but the truth is you really did not do this, and the application displayed your pictures to choose a picture without your permission or permission, but moment, the pictures folder that the application opened cannot access To a picture of it or to know its content or access to any image of it, only the image that you choose and press OK, and this image is the only image that the application can access.
IOS is still secure, but it tries to make it easier for the user
Some applications require you to choose one or several pictures in order to place them as your account picture, for example, and therefore Apple offers developers the ability to show the pictures folder for the user to choose an image, but the application itself does not have the authority to view these images or access them in any way, so there is no need for a permit You are just confused about pictures and press OK, and here the app has permission to get these images only.
So do not panic if you find the application shows you the pictures folder without permission, there is nothing to worry about, your pictures are still safe and you can simply not choose an image and press the cancel button, if you do not want to share any image with the application.
More safety with the permission to add only
In iOS 11, Apple forced developers who had apps that only wanted to add photos to the Pictures folder and did not require that you view your photos to take permission. Just addTherefore, they can add pictures to the Pictures folder without any authority for them to see what this folder contains, and Apple is working to popularize this rule and over time, applications that violate this condition will be deleted.
And in order to know the applications that have full access to the pictures folder or only have add permission and therefore are very safe, you can open the device settings, privacy, pictures
As you can see, a synchronized app has only add permission, “Safe Sync App” :) We only need the extension permission in order to save the photos you want to keep from any article.
Apple's system is already safe, and a lot of users do not know these details that make their life safe and it is not a requirement to know, there are thousands of small and large details that ensure that the user feels safe and without any sacrifice or responsibility, such as a lot of messages, requests for access and settings, all of this so that it is safe. On the contrary, the iOS system guarantees security, starting from the software store that Apple controls, ending with a very powerful system that is difficult to pass anything to anyone who dares to infringe on your privacy.
This photo was posted on our Instagram account just to make a joke with our followers, and we were imagining what if the developers believed in the messages asking for permission to access :) Follow us on Instagram
Thank you
Beautiful article and very useful information
This is what I don't see but Apple .. Protecting my privacy and data is more important than appearance and additions ..
But people are afraid of privacy abnormally, then Apple's system has become simple as it asks you to add and does not connect the image and asks you to choose the image and does not connect the images. How do you add an image when you add an image from within the application?
By God, I am the same as what I expected. I know that the applications will not deliver the complete images, but rather in a specific manner. I could have said this before in one of the comments, my words came out correctly.
Thanks 🌹
The general rule is that we always and never worry about our privacy, no matter how Apple and others assure us, and we have a lesson in many incidents of data breach of the most fortified institutions that we hear about from time to time. Always be careful
It's okay to worry, but not too much
Thank you ..
Apple is like Public Security 911 We are at the service of the people, and you are in security and safety with us 🙄😘
Everyone noticed that, but I am concerned about all applications, whether they are requested or not ,, applications teach everything about a human being
Yes, I not noticed that before
In several applications, for example
bigolive
microsoft edge
It looked like a system loophole
Today's article reassured me
I just need confirmation 🙂
The iOS system is a part of the application, so do not say that the IOS system is safe, because it is still a subscriber to a scattered app store, and the company that manufactures it and manufactures its devices is still within a country and under the administration of a state and not under the administration of the United Nations system.
And your application is one of the evasive and inclined applications about the rights and regulations that must be present in the iOS system and its data center.
But we are still developing and your brains must also evolve so that you know the rights and regulations that must be present in the company of Apple in order to be under the management of the United Nations system, and the spirit of control and the love of the non-human and irregular self, you must avoid it, and this is so that your heads do not avoid your bodies.

A Ramadan hallucination with an Android mentality
????????????
I do not luck with the thinness of a tympanic expression
Android nowadays we have become
We find it difficult to understand them
And it seems that they are dying
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha by you my brother Ramzi, the type that he uses is adulterated, his stupid attitude does not know what to say, he said united
????????
I honestly want to get to know you and sit with you so that I know more about you, you have a thought of Khanfshari and your case deserves to be studied
Your comment is sketchy and familiar from Android, and the conspiracy theory nestles in their minds.
There is a system in America that protects consumers
A system in the European Union that protects consumers
A system in China and East Asian countries that protects consumers
System in India as well
And systems in the Arab countries
And all of these countries use the iPhone in the case of the Arab user.
Androydi comes crouching in the conspiracy theory, as if all systems are anonymous and weak in front of Apple.
Ahmed Rabak, Apple has turned to the Arabs, and if it were not for the fierce competition in this market, you will see the iPhone still does not support Arabic, and you are still with a closed mind.
🤣🤣
Think khanfchaoui 😂😂😂
That is, by God, it is as if he was drunk. What is the income of a mother who is united in privacy, my brother, but he has taken off
Nice words..
But a big problem can occur if you rely on guided access.
For example, you gave a stranger your phone just to look at a specific page in a specific application and activated the guided access feature on the application you want ... but suddenly you find him looking at your photo album! Although you are XNUMX% sure that you have enabled the guided access feature so that it cannot exit from the application that you run it for (of course the application does not have access to the photo album).
It happened to me once and I thought that this application exploits a flaw in the terms of the software store, but after researching I understood the issue.
شكرا لكم
