I'm trying to understand how an app would even get that info in the first place, how that's classified and why a mobile operating system even has a way to provide that data.

Am I correct in assuming that if an app is used without play store / play store framework that it would not be able to get access to that data?

Thanks!

Don’t forget, giving these apps access to your photos also opens up a puzzle of location data of where you spend your time and have visited
