I can’t replicate it :( here’s what I know: It seems to affect older Android phones only (unclear exactly what the cutoff is). It says permission denied, despite appearing to have granted permission previously

Samuel sorry for the intrusion but there is an equally important bug, the "translate" does not work anymore if you have the Google Translator app installed, it opens the app but with empty text.

My bug is somewhat related I can't select and copy individual words anymore in the android app The only option that works is "copy post text" in the menu Android 15 Latest version of the app

On my Samsung Galaxy I can keep the Android home button pressed. That pops up a tool that lets me select and copy text or images.

Could be related to this odd behaviour on iOS. When saving an image BlueSky tries to access the camera roll. However it doesn’t need access to save photos on iOS. And uploading images (whether in a post, profile image etc) it uses iOS private camera roll so doesn’t access it again

There isn’t a “add photos only” setting for BlueSky so enabling that option may help? Idk how it would work with private camera roll then however

Here are the permissions I’ve given the app and what shows when uploading an image/video. Android moot said clearing the cache fixed the issue

I could be wrong here, but I changed my privacy settings on iOS so BlueSky can’t access any images. BlueSky won’t upload any images despite it using iOS’s private camera roll, so it shouldn’t need permission??
