I would still be worried. The team behind Tea did so little security work they didn't purge the selfies' metadata. If someone has your selfie, they could also have your location.

There was either another app or a Facebook group(s) around 2012 or so that purported to do the same. It collapsed in a welter of toxicity as, I believe, rather than joining together in solidarity, current and ex-girlfriends of the same man merely attacked each other, and also an app like that inherently attracts toxic people (like any rating app, but more so). There were a handful of articles about it at the time.
