Snapseed iOS app: Updating phone to iOS 15.2 changed album privacy setting to None

 iOS 15.2

Snapseed app for iOS (version 2.22.0)

Description:

I love the Snapseed app for both Android and iOS and I have been using it for more than a year with my iPhone 8. It has nearly always worked for me.

I just recently upgraded my phone to 15.2, after putting off updating for a while. After I updated to iOS 15.2 Snapseed wouldn't work. I would click on either "OPEN" or the "+" and nothing would happen in the app. I thought it was just frozen....

After updating to iOS 15.2, I kept launching the Snapseed app. When I selected either the "OPEN" option or the "+" nothing would happen.

I went to Settings on the iPhone and noticed something strange...

AFTER updating to iOS 15.2, Snapseed somehow changed the access setting for the camera roll. I wasn't seeing an error message alerting me that this setting had changed!

Except I think I figured out what happened.

After updating the iPhone to iOS 15.2, the app suddenly changed the accessibly setting to "NONE." I had never messed with this setting in the year that I have been using this app. It seems as if the upgrade to iOS 15.2 did it...

Steps to Reproduce:

1. With Snapseed on an iPhone and with camera roll access set to "All Photos" upgrade from iOS 15.1 to iOS 15.2

Result: Snapseed seems to change camera roll access setting to "None" after the iOS devices updates to 15.2

Expected: Not this!

I am got the exact same problem that these other users ran into:

Complaint in the app store...

Another complaint in the app store...

Yet another complaint...

And another...

And another...

And another.
