TL;DR
- AYANEO has confirmed that the 1,000+ screenshots were caused by a caching bug that will be fixed soon.
- High data usage reports were a tracking error caused by the AYAWindow app sharing a UID with the Android system. We independently confirm the shared UID.
- Further, our independent security analysis found no evidence of nefarious data transmission or of private information being shared.
Just yesterday, we reported on a user accusing AYANEO of spying on them on their Pocket DS after finding over 1,000 screenshots and excessive data usage. The GitHub thread eventually received a technical response that explained some of the findings. We can now confirm that the response was from AYANEO itself. Further, we can also independently confirm what the app is doing, and thankfully, it’s not nefarious.
