Why has my Picture This app - a plant identifier app - appear to have access to all my photos ?
How can I change this please ?

Go to settings from the menu and then deselect all photos and allow the camera. I hadn't spotted this, so thank you.

Thank you for your reply.
I can't find settings in the menu.

I've found settings but it foes not give me the ability to deny access to photos. Just to the camera.
I think it's a gross intrusion.

This is a common worry, but its just a confusion

It requires access to your stoarge so you can analyse saved photos (you took, downloaded or were sent to you)

It will only analyse one of the photos if you try to within the app, it only asks for permission to see your photos the first time

The way its phrased is very scary, as it says the app can access your photos in future without asking your permission, this just means if you want to analyse a saved photo again you dont have to allow the app permission again,

it wont look at your photos as you sleep :)
