Any thoughts about this issue? is this possible  to happen that by simple application can get lots of private information and data stored in our device? I just want some insight about this to those who have lots of knowledge when it comes to crypto currency and developer there.
I'm from the Philippines and the Pi network application is now trending in our country everyone used it install it and reffering other people with this app to mine a Pi coin this Pi network launched 2  years ago year 2019 if I'm not mistaken and now it going trend again. I just want to know if this is totally a scam platform to get private data of a person and if they totally use crypto currency in this kind of illegal activity.
