App privacy report on iphone

After reviewing the App Privacy Report, I find that many Apple apps are contacting other Apple apps. For example:

1) My camera accessed contacts (But the privacy & security page does not show the camera as one of the apps that requested access to Contacts).

2) App Clips accessed microphone

3) Maps accessed Contacts.


None of this activity was carried out by me.


Perhaps Apple personalized ads/app analytics is responsible ?


Thanks.

No, the camera accesses contacts so it can give names to faces and also mark a photo with the name of the location, not just the latitude and longitude.


App Clips access the microphone so you can give give verbal information.


Maps accesses Contacts so you can enter “Aunt Martha” as a destination and maps can look up the address.


My favorite command when out and about is “Siri, take me Home” and Siri will look up my home address, then program it into Maps. But you can also say “Siri, take me to Aunt Martha’s"
