No, Pokemon Go ISN'T reading your emails OR hijacking your Gmail

If you've already read our Pokémon Go guides, you're probably knee-deep in Rattatas and well on your way to becoming a Pokémon master – but yesterday there was just one problem.
 
Several websites yesterday reported the iOS version of Pokémon Go had full access to your Gmail account when you logged in with a Google ID. If that was true, it meant the app potentially had access to your Photos and other content. Worse still, it meant that if Pokémon Go was hacked in the future, criminals could have access to all your data. Understandably, that had a lot of people worried, but now it seems it was just a false alarm.
