      Seems other commentators outside USA are saying similar things.

      If true, I wouldn’t trust this app at all, because it just be breaking GDPR somehow

        I have it and I am in the UK, we have our own GDPR after the whole Brexit thing. But someone would need to prove its breaking GDPR. To install it on the device isn’t a violation of GDPR.

    Do you have Google’s Messages app installed? If it actually does what they claim on the tin, maybe it was only installed on phones with the Messages app installed?
