I assume you’re talking about the iOS feature, which is pretty new, and they have their own photo selector UI which has existed before that. They probably just didn’t make it work well with limited access yet, Signal has a lot of small UX warts in general when it comes to system integration.

Now that I think about it, it seems its in progress, they recently added a manage button to help ease it a bit so I think they’re aware of it, I guess it had me looking at it closer.

Was really pleased they added the filter unread too, that was a nice touch to keep things cleaner

Limited access photos isn’t pretty new, it’s been around since iOS 14, we’re now on 18.4. Gotta be at least 3 years old at this point.

I’m on the beta (testflight) version and they recently had an update where you can now select more photos to add right in the app instead of having to go to the IOS settings menu.

• We made it easier to select additional pictures when Limited Access photo permissions are enabled in iOS. The Manage button has been repositioned so that it’s always visible, and updating your chosen selection is so fast that it’s never a photo finish.

Yeah, just noticed and thats much better. Now that I think about it again, its probably better than what I was thinking of altho it was super annoying to have to go all the way to settings or navigate away to the actual file to share
