I don't have specific information about changes to photo permissions in iOS 26 from the provided context. However, there is a mention of using a Photos picker to avoid the photo library prompt entirely, which allows users to select specific photos without granting access to the entire library. This feature is part of Apple's ongoing efforts to enhance privacy by allowing more granular control over data access. You can find more about this in the session Integrate privacy into your development process (09:27).
