Hello everyone,
When I'm on my Snapchat account, the photos from my phone's gallery appear in the Snapchat roll. How can I stop my phone's photos from showing up there, please? Thank you.

It bothers me to see all the photos from my phone appearing in the Snapchat camera roll section
What should I do to prevent that?

  Yes, but I don't trust celebrities whose personal photos were stolen because of Snapchat.

  On Snapchat, it's the exchanged photos that were stolen; for others, it's mostly related to cloud storage hacks (particularly iCloud accounts) where the photos were stored.

Hi,

Access to storage should not be granted via permissions in the application settings...

However, if the application does not have access to storage, it will not function...

Is there still a way to allow access to storage but ensure that the photos don't appear?
Maybe create another folder for the photos we already have, I don’t know...?

  No. He still has access to all the photos on the phone.
  
  If you don't want to see them there, don't use Snapchat. There's no more effective solution than that :-)

  But can we then protect the app photos? Create a special album for example that is inaccessible?

    The photos of the apps? Which apps?
    
    And especially.. which phone?

    I meant to say, can we prevent apps from displaying our photos like in Snapchat roll? But still allow access to storage for Snapchat to function.

    Snapchat retrieves all the files on the device, except maybe for encrypted and secure folders, but even there... it would still have intermittent access to data and you would still have the issue.
