About this APK
Mega Photo is an app by Paul Falstad in the Photography category, listed since at least February 2021. It includes native code only for x86 64-bit, so it won't install on ordinary ARM phones (only on x86 devices such as emulators and some Chromebooks).
Since version 1.6.3, the minimum Android version rose from 4.3 to 4.4. It asks for 11 permissions, 4 of them sensitive, including camera, record audio and read shared storage. Compared with version 1.6.3, it adds 3 new permissions (“Ad id”, “Advertising ID” and “Run foreground services”) and drops 1 (“Run at startup”). The app can read the advertising ID that ad and analytics services use.
