for android users it doesn't settle anything. "Photos: We will never access your photos without explicit permission", but what does that mean? When the app is installed the user has to give permission to the app to access photos otherwise it won't install. So there's no state in which, on Android at least, the user can deny access to photos to the app, as the app has been given permission already at install.

So this 'sorry' is really a lot of hoopla which changes nothing: Android users still have to trust them that they won't access my photos if I don't use them in their app and won't access any other elements on my phone when I am just listening to some music.
