iOS does offer options for "read selected photos" and "add-only photos".

Contact list subset and pseudo-sensors (camera, microphone, accelerometer, barometer) are much needed.

Preset location is also needed, but some apps enforce DRM or other policy by location.

App-level network policy (whitelist, blacklist) is needed. For enterprise MDM, iOS allows per-app VPNs, which could enforce app-specific network filtering. With Apple Configurator policy files, Safari can have on-demand VPNs for specific websites.

The annoying thing here is how apps insist on either requiring full album access so they can implement their own photo picker or don’t provide a button to re-trigger reselection of “selected photos”.

I wish they’d just use the standard OS selector dialog and call it a day. I don’t care if the standard selector doesn’t meet some stupid product requirement, it’s good enough.

iOS Settings should have an app setting menu to "Edit Selected Photos".
