What about data protection here? Is it really necessary to set up a Xiaomi account and then authorise full access to the camera and photos in the app? I'm a bit uncomfortable with Xiaomi and what they can do with my mobile from the app...

Question

Accepted Answer

You can refuse access to just about everything, either via the app or via Android. A Xiaomi account is required, but it is possible to refuse to synchronise data via the app. Access for the camera is just for triggering photos by the watch, there is no access to files (except for audio files if authorised, only for playback commands by the watch).
