Restriction doesnt work

[mrex]

I have restricted an app not to be able to access my Photos but the restriction doesnt work.

1.
Settings - ’the app’ - ”app can use:”
Photos - never

2.
Settings - Privacy - Photos - ’the app’ (never)

Uninstalled the app and installed back. The app has access to my Photos when settings is ”never” instead of allowing it ”to read and write”.

Another app, the same restrictions and trying to use the app, i get a message that the app isnt able to access Photos and i need to change settings.

I wonder if the Privacy setting is broken in ios 12.4?

It sounds like this might have to do with how the app is accessing photos -- a similar discussion about this kind of thing happened at https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...-permission-guess-other-apps-can-too.2176970/ that has some more details about it.
