private access to photos

Please remove the option of private access to apps. It says that the apps can see the photos but can’t select it. This is of no use. They can take screenshots from our photos. Photos are personal and apple must not give such permissions to app.


Therefore, kindly remove such permissions given to apps.


Thanks.

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17

You're preaching to the chorus here. We're all end users like yourself.


To get your concern directly to Apple use Feedback - Photos - Apple and/or Feedback - macOS - Apple.  


One method to assure complete privacy is to put your private photos in a second Photos library and put that library in an encrypted and password protected disk image and do not make it your System Photos Library.
