This is my primary concern - all those apps that have access to my photos that could use them for purposes I could not imagine.
Got a tip for us?

I only grant those permissions to that i need from an app ever... I don't grant permissions for an app "just because" or do not use, even for the same of convenience like Domios apps using camera to conveniently scan your CC to fill in details automatically..
I prefer to type this manually always. And no one will make me change my mind.
If u'r sharing photos with Google anyway though, you already know this.. and probably sharing every photo anyway on Google with this purpose in mind. so u'r not gonna worry about something you wanted to do.
only if you'd allowed those apps access

Very good point! I would think they could be prosecuted and I can guarantee if it happened you bet the app devs would stop doing it.
A developer could simply not trigger his special code until after a delay of enough days that vetting would surely be over with. Thus allowing hs app to slip through and trigger later on.
This is disturbing if true.

I'm curious how existing apps in iOS10/11 work with iPhone X's front camera sensors. I'm curious if access is just a simple line of code in Swift and mapping our faces is possible. Apple said the data is within a secure enclave ... yet how did InstaGram get it for their facial filters featured at the Special Even just last month? Hmmm.
Android users already are used to what is reported here - since you cannot launch an app using a camera by denying it access.

Nothing. But some people like to share the view only with special people. Its a privacy thing.

I believe you misunderstood my statement. I do not believe Apple would be the "real" victim. I specifically stated, "it will be an awful mess with a lot of hurt people.
" I thought that made it clear that the hurt people would be victims with Apple only to some extent as well.
