YouCam Perfect is an Android photo editor and beauty camera. It can retouch selfies, remove unwanted objects, change backgrounds, improve photo quality, make collages, and add filters, stickers, text, frames, and effects. It also includes AI photo, image-generation, and image-to-video tools.
It is made for quick edits before sharing photos. You can fix a selfie, remove an unwanted object, make a collage, or add an effect. The app is free to install, but it contains ads and in-app purchases.
Device Resources & Safety
Google Play does not show a fixed download size on the public listing. A recent Android APKMirror build, version 6.15.0, is listed at 161.61 MB. Storage can be higher after installation because of cache and other files.
The app uses network access, and newer AI tools and templates use online services. I would not describe it as a fully offline editor.
Google Play says the developer does not share data with third parties. It also says the app may collect location, personal information, and six other data types, with data encrypted in transit and an option to request deletion. Android package listings show permissions such as camera, microphone, photos/media, location, network access, notifications, and billing.
Testing on Android
A real two-day test needs a physical Redmi phone. I cannot access a Redmi device from this chat, so I will not invent battery, heating, speed, or storage measurements.
For a Redmi test, the useful checks are startup time, opening a large photo, applying retouch tools, running AI effects, saving images, battery change, and phone temperature. These should be measured on the same phone with the same photos.
