This is not fixed, so to prevent this, you can do one simple thing - you need to allow limited access to your photos and videos in permissions menu of WhatsApp app

Doesn't affect me as I am currently running Ubuntu Touch on my daily driver and LOS on my backup phone... True Linux phones are coming...

Nice, how would you compare Touch to Android, what's your experience, pros and cons?

By default, Android has an ecosystem of millions of apps, some of dubious quality. UT has a limited selection of apps. For my requirements, these have for the most part proven adequate, and using Libertine and a dock, you can have a Linux Desktop. I have used LOS for a number of years as I detest Apple and Google. They are apex predators in the Digital Panopticon. I like both LineageOS and Ubuntu Touch equally. If you have some spare shekels laying around, pick up a Fairphone. Great quality and a fucking removable battery...
