FULL ACCESS TO YOUR LIBEARY
The Type S Drive app does not need to upload anything from your library and it shouldn’t. It supposedly only saves downloaded dashcam footage to your phone. So why what do you need FULL library access for?
IOS has offered a privacy-preserving option since iOS 14 called "Add Photos Only" which covers videos too, that lets an app save new media without ever seeing what's already in your library.
Type S is not using it, which means Full library access is their choice, not Apple's requirement.
Given that this has been flagged repeatedly in App Store reviews as I can with the other review, and still no fix, means that it's either developer negligence or something more concerning, an app that wants to see your existing photos and videos for reasons that have nothing to do with saving your dashcam footage.
That last part is the part worth sitting with. There's no functional reason a dashcam companion app needs to browse your library. If they wanted to fix it, it's a known API that's been available for years.

Great Product
Easy to install and great app!
App usage
Very useless app, don’t connect with camera
The best!
This cam is so great! It's just that if your phone is connected to your carplay it won't connect your app to your phone, so you need to disconnect carplay first or use your wifes phone for the app which we did and you can perfectly manage the cam or review videos/galleries on app. or if not you can just use the cam itself if you need to review something. And has those great safety features that are really awesome!
