Maybe it doesn’t pass through? Some apps need permission for camera and library, the camera would in theory give access to library like the keyboard to accelerometer as well, but that’s changed in recent months.
Warning: speculation incoming
The camera permission probably allows the app to either access the camera directly, or use a special invocation of the camera app that only gives access to the pictures taken during the brief period it's open. This doesn't convey access to the rest of the camera library. That's why it's a separate permission.
Before it was entire access, now I need to select which specific photos it can access if I want to it to access them. Pictures taken with the camera through the app have auto access I believe.
Camera is always free to access now though. Not a fan of the change myself.
No, the camera and library permissions always have been separate, it's just that Apple's official camera app integrates them. Think about it, one's hardware and the other one's basically software.
In the last few months you’ve had to give permission to both, so that’s not true at all. Before you never had to give permission individually.
