Weird camera and files app permission issue

[roastedwookie]

Hi,

I've seen a problem with two apps now, not working despite permissions were granted.

Issue 1: Facebook app, when trying to reply to a post, I pick the Camera icon and then click the View All Media option. I am getting a permission prompt to go to Settings and enable Camera Roll, but the app already has photos access and camera access. There is no camera roll named permission in Android 13 for Facebook.

 

 

Issue 2: Crypto.com app, when trying to send a file to the builtin customer support chat, I am getting permission error for files, but the app does not have such permission listed in its settings.

Screenshot for the facebook issue are attached.

Any idea what is going on? Are we having an OS issue, app issue or I am missing something?

Facebook requires the permission - Photos and Videos. May be good to remove it and add it back, to check if it makes any difference?

Also try the same with Crypto.com app.

Tried now. Got the ask to enable Gallery access, accepted, then clicked on View All Media option and received the same permission popup to go to settings.

I'm having the exact same problem with my Facebook since updating to Android 13.

I've noticed as well with my Netflix app that it isn't playing over other apps when I close out if it like it used to do even thought it has all of the correct permissions. Very annoying problem, I'm thinking it might be an IOS issue

Same since android 13 no apps allow me to.change photos as Samsung has made it almost impossible it says to enable access everytime however samsung removed these from the access list and there's no way to add them anymore.

Messenger has the same issue when trying to share from gallery to the app

I have same issue with messenger on Android 14. When trying to share photo from gallery to messenger I get prompt to enable Camera roll permission and such permission doesn't exist.

I can share a photo from gallery when already using messenger though which is weird.

Newest samsung update has caused this issue to rear its ugly head again

Was this ever fixed. I noticed this was first posted on the 31st july of 2023 and has never received a post update ever since. My mom's phone started having this issue yesterday after her phone updated to UI 6.0
