No, it shows that there exists a method that calls a bunch of methods. However, as others have explained these methods appear to be from a library that's been loaded in wholesales, and it doesn't show that the method is ever called or that any data is ever transmitted.

The method is named sendMMSLog. The body of the method is not shown. Is it logging the messages sent to & from Uber? Or the messages you sent to your girlfriend. The difference between those two is massive.
