I saw the canon camera app now needs full access to photos.

It used to just need to add to it.

this means - an external camera that wants to just add photos to the photo roll needs full access to all photos.

By "needs" I take it that you mean "is programmed in such a way to require" and not that the permissions are required to do the job you are asking of it?

  • ios allows the following permissions for your phone photo library:

    - no access

    - add photos only - can add photos to the library, but not access photos in the library

    - limited access- the app can only access the photos you select

    - full access - the app can access everything

    Canon used to allow limited access. Now it refuses to work without full access to your photo library.

    Honestly, it should allow any of those.
