## PhotosUI

PhotosUI Framework of documentation Present a person’s photo library using a picker interface, display Live Photos, or extend the Photos app with custom functionality.

Overview

PhotosUI offers a photo picker that enables people to view their library and choose one or more photos for your app to display or process. The picker renders in a system view and only gives your app access to the photos someone chooses, which facilitates a user experience with enhanced privacy.

The framework also provides a view you can use to display live photos.
