I wouldn't be surprised if your phone was sending a copy of every picture you take to third parties too. Roku, for example, takes multiple screenshots every second of whatever happens to be on the screen and sends them back to Roku who analyzes them to guess at what you're into and to identify the content. I one day discovered that my phone's Samsung keyboard (the default one that came with the device out of the box) was logging every key press and sending it to a third party whose privacy policy said that they used it for "market research" and to guess at things like the intelligence and education level of the user. I immediately installed a new keyboard. I went with AnySoftKeyboard and so far it's been great, although, understandably, the autocorrect isn't anything close to what it used to be.
