Unauthorized Access

How does Acrobat Reader manage to have full access to the photo library on an iPhone 12 without any permissions to do so AND have the Settings app report that Acrobat has no access?

That is some clever yet nefarious-looking programming.

 

By the way, claiming that Acrobat does not have access is an outright lie,

I'm posting this because Acrobat does have access to my photo library even when access is switched off.

Hi @T001,

 

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for your experience with Acrobat.

 

Accessing internal storage files is a feature the device manufacturer allows, not Adobe directly. If you can see the files on Reader Mobile, your device allows the application to do so.

 

I suggest re-toggling the permissions once and then checking if it helps.
