the only real difference between snap and faceapp is the media gave faceapp the russian tie in so now they're using it as that combined with federal investigation titles [1]
snap is a scarier but most people dont care since its so ingrained into their lives... for whatever reason I never understood.. but my friends used love it even while I warned them how stupid it was so use snap in the first place if you cared about privacy
what happens to snap.inc/your data when the userbase drops off completely.. inevitably like every other social media..

- marpstar 7y agoOn top of that, FaceApp doesn't request Geolocation permissions while Snap integrates a map of friends in the app itself.
- jmkni 7y agoThe app doesn't request Geolocation data, but might the geographic info still be in the EXIF data in the photo that gets uploaded?
- bengotow 7y agoYep this is correct, location history can be scraped from the EXIF data in the photos in your camera roll.
- cronix 7y agoDoes Apple allow disabling the exif feature in the camera app like Android?
- stunt 7y agoYou can disable Location Service for the Camera app in the Privacy Settings.
