What should I do if Apps access my files automatically without my consent?

Hi ,I just noticed under Privacy and Security you suddenly allow some apps to AUTOMATICALLY and without me selecting to have access to my FILES AND FOLDERS. Please explain why you have automatically allowed such access? The only File/Folder that I am aware of that is the file& folder is the blue folder on my iPhone. This folder connects to EVERYTHING STORED ON ICLOUD AND ON MY MAC. Please explain this access. Especially with everything you do to ensure security, why you have given an APP access to “ File and folders “ without me selecting this access? One such app was TEMU. And this permission was NOT listed in their privacy ID information on App Store. This wasn’t the only app you automatically granted this permission either . Explain. Thank you.
