ASK HN: Why does the Outback app on my IPhone need access to my photos? 3 points by idanman 12y ago ↗ HN I downloaded the Outback app and if I go to Settings->Privacy->Photos I see the Outback app and looks like by default its turned on. Seems like a security threat to me.
[–] zimpenfish 12y ago ↗ I don't believe iPhone apps can have default-yes access to photos. There's always a prompt, isn't there? [–] atom-morgan 12y ago ↗ Yes, I think so.
[–] runjake 12y ago ↗ Access in iOS is never on by default. You have to approve each app individually.You can go in and turn that access off by launching Settings, and tapping through Privacy->Photos and finding the Outback app and switching it to off.While you're there, you may want to review other privacy settings for other apps.
