Previously, the storage permission gave apps access to basically all of your files. The new feature\u2014called \u201cScoped Storage\u201d\u2014divides up what apps can access.<\/p>\n<p>Scoped Storage divides files into two buckets: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a>\u201d (images, audio, and videos) and \u201cDownloads\u201d (PDFs, documents, etc). You\u2019re not giving an app all-or-nothing access to all your files anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Apps get permission to access only the types of files relevant to them. However, gallery apps that aren\u2019t pre-installed have to constantly ask for your permission to modify files. That\u2019s why this problem is only present in Google Photos on non-Pixel devices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Manage and Free up Google Photos Storage Space<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Give_Google_Photos_Permission_to_Delete_Photos\"><\/span>How to Give Google Photos Permission to Delete Photos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With Android 11, you needed to run some commands in ADB to fix this annoying issue.
