iOS 14 on iPhone has received a plethora of visual and customization updates, which was long needed in the Apple ecosystem. Yesterday saw the latest beta release, bringing several privacy and security options in iOS 14. One of them includes user control for photo permissions.
On the previous versions of iOS, when users were prompted to grant permission to access your photos, they could only allow or deny the request. Granting the app access to the Photos library also included the geolocation details and additional metadata in the photos.
With iOS 14, users can now allow third-party apps access to selected photos only. While it’s time-consuming for iPhone users to choose photos from the Photos app manually, it’s a welcoming addition for those concerned about their privacy.
We will show you how to limit third-party access to the iOS 14 Photos library in this guide. You can get the latest iOS 14 public beta on your iPhone from here.

2. Now choose the photos you would like to share with the app. You can also search for a particular photo or album from the selection screen.
3. Once you have selected your preferred photos, tap Done at the top-right corner of the menu.

That’s it! In the app, you should only see the photos that you have selected to share with the app.
