Users can limit permissions to individual contacts regardless of whether iOS apps have been updated to explicitly handle that use case.

I meant updated yo the newer nicer replacement UIs.

For example I know Slack still doesn’t use the single picture picker. They still want access to everything.

So iOS lets me limit what they can see, but it’s still a pain compared to just letting me pick the one picture I want.
