another reason to not give apps permission to access your photo gallery. it's insane to me that apps request access to all photos... its completely unnecessary.

On Graphene you can set very good limits and if an app requires access to all photos but you don't want it to have that access, you can turn on a setting that makes the app think it has full access but really only has access to photos you selected.

The latest Android media picker from the Googs has similar outcomes, granting access to just specific photos.

The official implementation is a bastardized version of how Graphene implements it; cool, you let me pick individual images for apps to access.

Give me the ability to pick specific folders.

Yes but on the Google one it tells the app it's limited so it doesn't work for apps that require full permissions to work.

I'm not sure why but I always give permission to all because sometimes it's a pain to try and add a photo then it asks again and you add the photo again

Its weird though because in damus we don’t have to request any permissions yet its easy to pick and choose any photos? When apps ask for everything it makes me suspicious now

Exactly.

I do see what you mean , just about every app asks it πŸ˜‚ it's a bit much

On another note when about is your Android Damus dropping?
