PingID? Safe to install on personal devices

So my company is rolling out the PingID app to use for connecting to the VPN when working remotely. If you don't have a company phone like majority of employees you are being told to install it on your personal phone. So I am wondering if there are any known issues with the app in terms of permissions and having camera access? I'm not a fan of having to use a personal device work don't pay for for work purposes but that's besides the point. Also I feel like it's implementation is under the guise of security but rolled out only a few months after announcing everyone across the globe has to return onsite at least 2.5 days a week. So a way to make us not want to WFH.
