These apps ask for camera roll and camera access permissions and usually get them, which would render sandboxing (for photos and videos) irrelevant.



Pro-tip only give access to camera for social apps. If you want to share fast use camera from within app. If you want to share something from your photo library copy/paste between apps.

It more tedious, but exploit on social don't automagically leak personal data from your OS library.


Photo access is also location history access from reading the gps tags and time stamps from my photo history, so I grant photo access to approximately zero apps. I will paste photos in if I need to.
