It works fine in other apps such as Signal and even Teams.
I don't really want Moxie or MSFT to have persistent access to any part of my personal photo album either, no matter how good they say they'll be.
Not really, given whatsapp could be theoretically keeping a local copy and the operating system can't really do anything about it. It would also be a pretty weird case to code. Imagine writing an app where if you tried to save a file, you couldn't immediately access it afterwards.
