They include not only visual information but also metadata that might reveal your location or when the photo was taken, among other facts. Luckily, it\u2019s easy to see which apps have access to your photos and even revoke access if necessary. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n<p>First, open \u201cSettings\u201d on your iPhone.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-685403\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/iphone_tap_settings.jpg\" alt=\"Tap the &quot;Settings&quot; icon on iPhone\" width=\"650\" height=\"274\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In \u201cSettings,\u201d tap \u201cPrivacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-707386\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/apple_settings_tap_privacy.jpg\" alt=\"In iPhone Settings, tap &quot;Privacy.&quot;\" width=\"650\" height=\"335\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In \u201cPrivacy,\u201d scroll down the list and tap \u201cPhotos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-708495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/iphone_privacy_tap_photos.jpg\" alt=\"In &quot;Privacy&quot; settings on iPhone or iPad, tap &quot;Photos.&quot;\" width=\"650\" height=\"339\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>After tapping \u201cPhotos,\u201d you\u2019ll see a list of installed apps that have requested access to your photos.
