When you allow this app to take photos or upload photos from your device, you also permit it to access every file on the device. Further, the user agreement you accepted allows them to do whatever they see fit with your data. The company and its data server are located in Hangzhou, China.

Thats a buzzkill

A friendly app would only request “access to your camera and image files, OK?”

Instead, this app requests:

… and if you read the details of their user agreement you’ll find that you allow them to do whatever they want with your files.

So for myself, I clicked Deny and uninstalled the app.

Thanks for the info. I was just about to check it out.

TY for this info. Too many apps get all your info. I only use the Weather app is about all. I deleted most of the ones that came with the phone. I have also seen that type of message on other apps that seem to come with the phone or all of sudden pop up and say " update needed". Sorry - nope!
