Android 13 Photo Picker

Android 13 steps into the real world with a huge bundle of amazing elements. From a simple yet advanced interface to highly secure privacy features, the operating system offers some significant functions in every part of the device. But, everything is worthless if you have not tried the Android 13 Photo Picker.

Photo Picker, have you heard of this term before? It’s an interesting feature that is staying on your smartphone for a long time. Similar to other Android features, this attribute also plays a vital role in making the user’s daily life efficient.

What is Photo Picker?

Often when you decide to share a photo or a video through an application, your device demands two things. First the location of the files, and second the permission to access those files. The theory is the same for every media-oriented app.

However, these permissions often open the doors to exploits to enter the system. Besides, every time an app asks for access to the media content or other relatable files, it hangs a risk to the user’s privacy.

Here is the point, where the Photo Picker plays its role. Instead of allowing a third-party app to enter and access photos, videos, or any other essential information, the Photo Picker enables the user to choose which file to share.

Consequently, the direct usage of Photo Picker offers “read-only” access to the applications. Thus, there is no external harm to the user’s private stuff in the device. Further, its searchable interface eases the selection of content.

What’s new with Android 13 Photo Picker?

Okay! The Photo Picker is quite useful, but how does it turn different with the Android 13 system? What new changes does the company has implied on its latest Android version?

To make the protection of photos and videos more reliable, Google has revamped the feature to some extent. In that manner, the company has added a standard and optimized Photo Picker to Android 13 that now enables you to select a file from both – local as well as cloud managers.

Isn’t this amazing? Now you don’t have to transfer your cloud-based images or videos to the local file manager. You can directly select the object and can share it with the specific application. This lessens the burden of running across your device for a simple sharing purpose.

How the Photo Picker will work for you?

Although it’s easily understandable that the feature protects your essentials from third-party access. Yet, often we are stuck in using features on our devices. So let’s understand how we can use the significant application on our gadget.

The feature will work in every option, whether you choose a single item or multiple media objects. Further, enable the Photo Picker to grant permissions to other applications for sharing the media content.

As mentioned, the Photo Picker isn’t a new option in the Android family. It has been there since the Android 11 era. However, as time passed the company has made this feature more convenient.

So, if you have not tested this feature yet, then you must give it a try.
