Aliendalvik cannot access images obtained via Bluetooth

I have tried to receive an image from a nearby phone over Bluetooth and then forward it to a contact via Whatsapp, but this does not work because the image has the wrong UNIX permissions: -rw-rw---- 1 nemo privileged.

When I try to access it in Whatsapp, I get simply a "broken image" icon. Either the group should be changed, or the permissions set differently.
