The Photos App Gets More Private

There’s no doubt that the Photos app is already a pretty private app. Not only can you safely store all your private photos and hide them behind Face ID or Touch ID, but you also need to give permission to any app that wants to get access to your photos.

However, with iOS 17, Apple is taking privacy in the Photos app one step further. It will now ask you if you’re okay with continuing to allow apps to have access to your photos.

As noted by Twitter user Ben Geskin, iOS 17 will remind you after a few months when an app still has access to your entire photo library and ask if you want to continue allowing full access or if you want to limit the access that the app has.
