Camera using mobile data

[SamSungtwo]

Why does the Samsung preinstalled phone which has telephone permissions I cannot remove, have data usage through my mobile data? What information is being sent?

[SamSungtwo]

I know exactly bits, bytes, kilobytes. The point is no data should be passed through my mobile data and more importantly what is this data?

[Brando]

I already told you there is no way to stop this and privacy wise there are much bigger things to worry about

[SamSungtwo]

Privacy wise there are much bigger things to worry about than data leaking from a Samsung camera app? Pls tell me

Valeriya, why has Samsung prevented the camera from removing the telephone permission? This is clearly not a needed permission.

Again, KB is not near enough to send pictures so I have no idea what you think the Camera app doing. Google has more information on you then the Samsung camera app ever will. Also, having your GPS turned off is useless if you think it's for privacy. Any wifi you connect to has an Ip address which can be located on the world and pin point where you are

In the camera app settings, there is a "Contact Us" feature. I believe it's from this since you get to send error reports and get tips from Samsung Members.

[SamSungtwo]

I have not requested to contact Samsung.
What data is being sent? Even the moderator Valeriya is under the impresson you can turn off the permission for telephone.

I have the same question.

The moderators answers (on both occasions) divert the topic to something else and does not answer the question. It proves they are guilty sneakily collecting data. Their thought direction / answer direction exposes them.

So the question again - What data is being sent?

It's clear something is transmitting, just tell us what it is and stop diverting us with stock PR answers about how legal your privacy terms and conditions are; it increases doubt.

The other person that answers the question is also trying to belittle the question.
