Google is introducing a new feature for Google Photos that will make accessing and sharing your pictures and videos easier and more secure. This update allows third-party apps to access your photos and videos stored in Google Photos, in addition to those saved locally on your device.
In a recent Android Developers Blog post, Google explained that the new feature adds Google Photos support to Android's built-in photo picker. The photo picker is a simple and secure way to grant apps access to your photos and videos. With this update, apps using the photo picker can only see the specific images you select, rather than your entire photo library. This safeguards your privacy and prevents any poorly or maliciously coded apps from snooping through your files.
