You can unscrew and flip over the circular part, and it’s smooth on the other side. So it’s both for flattening and tenderizing.

No, Apple enforces privacy settings at the OS level. If you can see all images and have not given the app you’re in permission, then it probably Apple’s image picker view, which runs in a separate process from the app you’re in. Then you select specific images to allow for the app.

This would be OS dependent, but on iOS when clients launch WoS with a url, that url could include a callback url or scheme parameter, which you could then open from WoS when the transaction is done. It might look like:
walletofsatoshi:lightning:<invoice>?callback=nostr

So WoS would read that parameter and open the url “nostr://“ at the end, which would launch the initiating app.
