So I've noticed this a while back if you download a file manager and  check show hidden files there is  folder called face. there is an app called face that you can't disable or turn off permissions. 

I check the folder often and its constantly making collages and random photos of my surroundings and features of what I'm wearing are showing up in it .So today I'm wearing a pair of certain sunglasses and what do I see random pictures of the same sunglasses in this folder .Mind that I haven't taken or searched anything related to such things on my phone. on other occasions I see pictures of me in it and features of my clothing in the same folder. 

also from this face app that I can't disable is sending data to who knows where all the time **bleep**.

this is ridiculous and I have the right to disable any app on my phone I choose yet I can't?

the thing is its sending the information to samsung after some more digging around between the system tracing and the network traffic.

Interesting! I found random collages from my gallery, but no random clicks. Internal Storage -.face- cover. Maybe @Samsung has an answer. Looks more of a system hidden folder
