Nooo, I've downloaded it from playstore, which is why I'm paranoid.Who to trust now?
From other sites I used to download games but since I have the app '' appsgonefree'' i buy stuff when they're on sale or I download when they're free for a limited time.

it was the app creator that fu*ked up, s/he left all this data they shouldn't even of been collecting on a database that got hacked. not really the playstore's fault here.

or yours * +

I'm so uncomfortable with this.... We don't know what data they're collecting, not even playstore, we don't know sh*t

did you download it ''free'' from somewhere ? that's often a bad move as it'll have things added into it.

OK never mind that 1st bit. anyone who used it has a problem, BUT it's only been 10 days and you're amongst 31 million others so it's time to get to work.

as they've suggested change email password (you can even alter the name that's linked to any email accounts), change account passwords where money or other personal data is involved first.

check your browsing history to remind you of where you've been that might matter and visit the playstore to see all the apps you've ever downloaded in life.

you can totally squash this in a few hours.

You've edited your reply, I've seen this just now. I've changed the password already and please explain that '' visit the playstore to see all the apps you've ever downloaded in life'', what to do? Sorry for the ignorance * +

open playstore, tap the 3 dashes in the top left, select my apps and games and when that's open select the tab on the far right called library.

this will tell you everything you've ever installed under your gmail account. so if you see an app that you've put valuable info into you can be reminded to change your password there too or close the account if possible.

there are a few articles on the AI keyboard data loss, some of those might give you recommendations on what to do to protect yourself. * +
