I want to view a list of photos taken within the app that like a official camera app.
In iOS14, User should select accessable photos *everytime*.

I think that it should allow access without authorize to photos saved by the taken app.

Hi there, with the new Limited Photos Library, the user will have the option to have selected photos only visible to the app. It is possible to store the photos captured by the app in other methods aside from reading directly from the photo library.

If you would like there to be a privacy setting that always allow access to photos taken by the app, please file a feedback request.

If your app has write permission to the photo library and the user has chosen to give your app limited access, any photos your app writes will be added to the limited library selection automatically.

Of course, the user can always subsequently modify the selection to remove access in the future.

As the previous reply says, please send us feedback requests on use cases and what kind of permissions / access you think would be useful for your particular app.
