using a network traffic analyzer, I tried to replicate the thing people are talking about with FaceApp allegedly uploading your full camera roll to remote servers, but I did not see the reported activity occur.

HOWEVER: they do appear to upload single images in order to apply the filters server-side. while not as egregious, this is non-obvious and I am sure many folks are not cool with that.
I saw a “choosing server” progress step when applying a filter so I found it fairly obvious.

I personally disagree in that I did not notice that when going through the app and would not expect a user to. facial data can be sensitive and in my view, users need to explicitly and directly consent to this.
