It’s also an flaw in how apps are designed. It’s so dumb that I have to give an app access to my entire camera roll generally to be able to add photos in an app.
Idk when they added it but my android updated firmware and it lets me just select what photos i want instead of giving full access to the app and having to use the app to select photos.
Yeah, the current versions of Android and iOS already mitigate this by allowing you to select just a few photos to give permission.
But if you think about it, most users don’t really understand this permission thing. They think it is an app thing, not an OS thing. Many times I’ve seen people online ask “what prevents the app from saying X and doing Y?”.
I think apps should never get permission to the whole user library, and any permissions given should be temporary.
“may be”? my guess is they’ve been scanning your photos long before now.
They have every reason to do it (free training data) and many previous examples of the company disregarding user privacy. Fuck Meta, they’re morally bankrupt. Don’t trust them with any personal info
