I will say that’s one thing I appreciate about iOS’s more recent permission tweaks. When you give access to photos, you can pick all, or pick which specific pictures the app gets access to, or no access to any - only write access.

For location, you can pick one time only, or access while you’re using the app (which some apps I think from there try to access it in the background, but iOS will notify you and ask you if you’re sure that’s okay every couple days or so I think. I’ve also been on dev betas and only really remember it complaining about the Weather widget using this all the time).

Definitely seems better than the all or nothing approach I remember from Android. But also I haven’t used android since android 9 was hot, so maybe things have evened out since.

Android added one time / during use / all the time, but has yet to add filesystem granularity, though I suspect even if they add that, the app will just ask for access to the root directory.

Not only that, but for location you can also choose between precise or general location.
