Samsung Messages bug may share your entire gallery without permission

28 June 2018
The only workaround currently available is to deny storage access to the app.

Can't imagine if I have that bug on my phone. My personal photos got sent to random contact without my permission. How big brand like samsung didn't know this big problem?

    so its either pure android from moto, nokia, pixel or go the iOS route. this helps in narrowing down choices before buying a new phone.

      I think this will be my last samsung phone. Been using it for 2 years.

      This is not a bug. It is a fatal flaw.

      I immediately turned off the message app permission for my storage.

              Samsung is full of lag ang bug and bloatware. Don't buy any phone from Samsung.

                Dang, that's bad.
                If only you didn't store your private photos on your gallery though. Otherwise, your done.

                        Hahaha now i know why i like wannila android.
                        And someone said havuing a company UI is much better.
                        Fart is better not company UI.
                        Nothing beats pure android.

                          Thank God I don't use Samsung.
