On macOS, there are music photo and video pickers integrated into the OS via standard file open API. Initially, iOS lacked this for Safari and third party apps. Web sites and Safari had use third party apps or custom JavaScript code to allow this.

Which version of iOS enabled this natively?

    @nohillside A canonical question so we can close all the old questions that say this isn't possible with a practical answer / summary. Also, people pull old devices that can no longer update, so we'll continue to get these questions until devices finally stop working : - ) (also, this is being redesigned for Big Sur / iOS 14 so there will be three designs of this in play soon with enhanced privacy controls - getting ahead of that curve with a canonical place to document Apple's iterations here.)
