Photos of bank account balances can reveal personal financial information and become targets for scams. Saving photos containing passwords, authentication codes, or login information puts your account at risk if your phone is compromised.
Photos of identification documents such as passports, visas, and driver's licenses can easily become identity records for cybercriminals if leaked. Photos of private messages and personal emails can be used for blackmail or to damage reputations.
Medical records and hospital bills are sensitive medical data and should not be stored in unencrypted photo libraries. If your order confirmation or e-ticket is compromised, it can be scanned and used illegally before you even have a chance to use it.
