Incidents

Zip printer app requires location data (29/08/2025)

Main article: link to the main CR Wiki article

The polaroid zip printer requires a smartphone app to print pictures. However this app does not function unless the user has agreed to share access to the Camera, Location, Nearby devices and Photos and videos. To print photos it makes sense that the app has to acces the printer (nearby device) and Photos/videos but there should be an option to use the app without sharing location information and camera access.

When location information is blocked the following message is shown

” Permission required

Some permissions are needed to be allowed to use this app without any problems.”

Below this is an “OK” button, when pressed it takes you to the app permissions section in device settings.
