TL;DR
- A user accused AYANEO of spying after discovering over 1,200 screenshots and 12GB of data usage linked to the AYAWindow app on their Pocket DS handheld.
- An AYANEO representative (likely) responded that the screenshots are the result of a bug where app thumbnail caches are not being cleared as intended.
- Further, high data usage reports may be misleading because of how Android calculates traffic for apps sharing a system UID.
AYANEO started the year with a boycott on their hands, for which they promised a “Service Improvement Plan” turnaround. The company is just about settling in, but a new PR crisis is already brewing. A user has now accused AYANEO of spying on them through their Pocket DS after finding over 1,000 screenshots and excessive data usage. But the situation might not be as nefarious as the accusation.
