Inability to add photos to new pet profile (possible defect)

ios
I just bought the new Ring Pet Tag. I am following instructions to set up the pet profile, which I have to do before scanning the tag. I was given three permissions options when I clicked on Add Media (1 photo or video is required) and then "Library". I chose "Add Photos Only" . That didn't allow me to upload media. Now, the app is telling me to open settings and change the value to "All Photos". However, there is no "All Photos" selection! All that's there are "None" and "Add Photos Only". So, since media is required, I am stuck and can't set up my profile and, in turn, can't set up my pet tag. Please fix! Thanks.

That worked! I was able to update the pet profile with my photos. Thanks for the tip!

I accidentally deleted my message :sweat_smile:
This issue still exists and the option for allowing full access does not exist in iOS settings.
Most importantly, why does Ring ask users to grant access to their entire photo library? The option to 'add **selected** photos' seems misleading. Ring should not have access to personal photos or image metadata. As a paid customer, this raises safety concerns for me. I'm disappointed that privacy-centric options are not accessible, and app features require handing over private information.

Hi Neighbors. What type of phone are you using and what version of the Ring app is installed?

Hi Neighbors. I'm working with my team to investigate this. Can you share a screenshot or screen recording of the error you are receiving?

If I click "Library", it starts to pull up the photo library, then disappears and brings me back to this screen. Endless loop if you try again. So, you end up stuck and can't finish setting up the pet tag.
