How Limited Photo Library Access Works on iPhone

Quick answer: When an app requests photo access, you can choose “Selected Photos” instead of “All Photos”. This gives the app access only to the photos you explicitly allow.

Why limited access matters

Limited access lets you try an app without giving it full access to your entire photo library. You stay in control of exactly which photos the app can see.

What Picluma does

Picluma works well with limited access. You can grant access to specific photos and still use the full cleanup features on those items.

FAQ

Can I change access later?

Yes. Go to iPhone Settings → Picluma → Photos and adjust the permission at any time.

Does limited access reduce functionality?

Picluma works fully with limited access. You simply choose which photos to include in the scan.
