  • How to prevent apps from accessing the camera folder?

I hope to use the privacy protection function similar to iOS14 on Android.
On iOS14, I can make the app access some photos but not all.
I also use my phone to take photos and record my life, but I don't want other apps to have access to the album where my photos are stored, what should I do?

    I know this, but the access permission is general access to all folders instead of specific folders, in other words, I can allow him to access all folders or not.
    But what I want is to allow the app to access the specified folder, or to prevent the app from accessing the folder I specified.

      If you grant an app access to storage scopes (don't add folders or files, just turn it on), it actually doesn't have access to read anything except for the files the app itself creates.

      If you want an app to only have access to specific files, you can just add the specific file to storage scopes.

      Lastly, it's possible for an app to have access to media + storage scopes. Make sure the app doesn't have the "photos and videos" or "music and audio" permissions.
