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.
