In iOS 6 this message appears, but the meaning is not at all clear: "Facebook would like access to your photos" when I'm simply trying to touch-hold to save a photo from FB. How much access... isn't clear?? This was not an issue before...? Where can I find info on precisely what kind of access FB will have. If I knew the only access was to allow me to download a picture then great, but it does not sound hat way. Thanks for any assistance.
Well, it needs to access your photo library to be able to save a photo in it. It's not that suddenly the same app uploads all your pictures behind your back, it's just a new feature that helps you control which app access what data...
Thanks for the reply.
I do think it is unclear though. FB is well known for ignoring privacy concerns. While I generally trust Apple to let me know if there is greater access, I would very much like it to be spelled out somewhere.
I ended up denying access and now I can't save photos either. Have you found where to go to allow access again?
I did the same thing. If you go into your settings, general, reset, and reset location and privacy. Then next time you press and hold on a pucture it will ask again about allowing or denying access :)
The FB photo access button is in: Settings/Privacy/Photos
I'm having the same issue, but don't see any of those settings in the Facebook app or under iOS settings. Am I missing something?
Nevermind. I found it. I'm an idiot.
@art in motion, did you ever find a clear description of the FB access? I would also like to read it before I set the switch to allow.
I never did. It's all assumptions about what it should be... as opposed to what it is. I guess one decides how 'trusting' to be.
In iOS 6: "Facebook would like access to your photos"
