← Measured in the wild

Media library access

What it means when an app touches this resource — and which apps were measured doing it.

The app read your Apple Media library — what music and media you own, a durable taste profile.

iOS records every access to this resource in the device's own App Privacy Report — a count of accesses, never the content. The evidence below comes from donated reports: every row was reported by at least 3 separate accepted donations and published under a human verdict (later rows for an approved app inherit its verdict). Access counts reflect the donors' usage; access times are never collected.

No corroborated evidence yet

No app has cleared the 3-donation bar for this resource yet. Your donated report (with the optional sensor-access dimension ticked) is how this page fills in.

Think something here is wrong?

Evidence and research improve when people push back. Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it. Responses can take up to 30 days.

If you leave an email it is encrypted at rest and opened only to answer you — never shared, never used for anything else. It is erased 30 days after we resolve this (or 180 days if it is still open) without you asking, and you can erase it sooner at any time; either way your correction stays, anonymously. Leave it blank and your request is fully anonymous from the start (we store no IP address either way).
