Android 11 system update from Google adds privacy controls
Even so, Mr Hall acknowledged that some of the privacy changes could prove timely.
- the ability to give apps single-use - rather than perpetual - access to a device’s microphones, cameras and location
- a permissions auto-reset function that retracts apps’ access to such functions if they have not been launched for a few months
- limiting apps to launching the phone’s built-in camera app rather than a third-party alternative. This has been done to close a loophole that allowed some developers to harvest location data without the user’s say-so
“People often grant permissions without realising what they are doing as they just click on an option to accept all features, allowing an app to go off and do what it wants,” commented Mr Hall.
“So building in one-time permissions is actually quite a big deal, especially after some high-profile cases of microphones and cameras being accessed without users realising what was going on.”

I guess it will be possible, because we are not prompted to only allow the app to manage photos created by the app itself.
