Back in the summer time i tried temu out on the iOS app (wasn’t as deep into privacy back then but still rather aware) and I, for some reason, allowed access to my photo library (I misunderstood the permission thinking it was one time access but it was full access) and I’m just worried if temu possibly uploaded and parsed my entire photo library in the time i realized that I had accidentally let that permission be granted. On top of that, especially being the #1 app in the appstore, I would assume that apple wouldn’t have let any permission/privledge abuse take place without suspending the app or making news with a warning.
I have no reason to be looked into or followed and my life is boring, but can someone talk some reason into me to possibly calm me down?
My assumption is not only would they ruin there reputation but the amount of data to upload everybody’s photo galleries and parse that all seems absurd and someone would have noticed something especially with the scrutiny around the apps origin. The app since its September update has moved to the iOS photo selector that will only receive the photo you selected not view the whole photo library which I would guess Would mean that photo data probably wasn’t essential to what they were looking for/possibly mining for (especially since the average person’s camera roll is probably full of useless junk). Also being the number one app on the ios app store, I would assume apple would have made sure any permissions/privileges weren’t being abused.
