A new problem has cropped up as it has been detected that iOS security loophole allows apps to access photos on device. It is practically a scary thing to imagine the apps getting contact details of the user and making use of it any way they want to.
Just imagine what would happen if your location can be found out through your photos and especially when apps can get access to the photos easily. As soon as an iOS app is given access to your location, it can get access and upload camera roll and then your photos or videos can be uploaded too with access to your geological data which can be misused.
This is definitely a loophole as the iOS apps can get complete access to almost everything like pictures, music, movies and a lot more and the developers can then very easily send them to their own servers. Besides that approved apps that have access to camera and microphone can get to pictures as well as recordings without the need of permission.
