Whatsapp of all things has this. (mostly to save on bandwidth, because whatsapp as all about efficiency at one point)
There is no real reason to auto process untrusted data. I would have thought we'd learnt from the years of exploits outlook dealt with in the late 90s/early 2000s.
Sometimes my dad sends me photos over Whatsapp, and I have noticed that they appear in my Photos app before I have opened/viewed the actual Whatsapp message. I assume that this is happening because i have given Whatsapp access to my Photos. But, it does appear that attachment/image processing is happening via Whatsapp without my control/without my viewing the message + its attachments.
