Facebook mobile is a suboptimal experience, which is fine, it just reminds me to use it less.
They also go out of their way to make it hard to save a photo without granting full access. Creepy.
What pisses me off, though, is that I didn't find a way to give a contact a name without allowing it access to the phone's contacts.
But now Whatsapp retains access to all the photos I added unless I go into settings and revoke access to those photos. Creepy.
And yeah the contacts thing also pisses me off. They know what they are doing.
Not really, given whatsapp could be theoretically keeping a local copy and the operating system can't really do anything about it. It would also be a pretty weird case to code. Imagine writing an app where if you tried to save a file, you couldn't immediately access it afterwards.
It works fine in other apps such as Signal and even Teams.
I don't really want Moxie or MSFT to have persistent access to any part of my personal photo album either, no matter how good they say they'll be.
