That’s what you get for using a Google product.
This is actually an iOS issue, their permissions aren't fine-grained enough so every photo app would need access to the whole photo library. The reason people don't notice this is because Apple Photos has access by default
You can give permission for the whole library, or any amount of photos you want. How can this be an iOS issue? It’s pretty obvious Google just wants access to your entire library when it isn’t necessary.
That doesn't matter. Why are they using Google products with an iPhone?
User choice, they shouldn't be required to use Apple products
They are not required to use Google products, so why throw that in the mix? I mean if they make that choice they are going to get what the get. Nobody is making them do that.
Apple and giving their own software priviledged access and denying/revoking that priveledge from their competitors. Name a more iconic duo. See also Tile, Pebble, Spotify, etc.
