A Facebook user on iPhones recently warned that the company is secretly using the phone's camera while browsing the event bar. Facebook has acknowledged the problem and said it is working to provide a fix to the iPhone app.
According to the US site engadget, some users said that when they watch a video full screen and then undo it, the design of the application will shift slightly to the right, and in the space on the left, you can see the phone's camera has been activated.
Facebook said that the error occurred when another problem, which was related to the operation of the Facebook application in the horizontal position, was fixed in version 244, Facebook defended its position, saying: "We have not seen any evidence to upload photos or video because of this error" .
I take the phone back out, but there’s no indication on the lock screen to say audio or video was playing. I unlock the phone, and there’s the video on @Instagram playing away.
This problem affects Facebook's reputation, which has recently been affected by privacy and security issues, and this error could undermine the company's efforts to improve its reputation.
Users notice Facebook's iOS app accesses the camera as they do unrelated things like scrolling their feeds; one workaround is to revoke app's camera permissions (@alfredwkng / CNET)cnet.com/news/facebook-…techmeme.com/191112/p12#a19…
We recently discovered our iOS app incorrectly launched in landscape. In fixing that last week in v246 we inadvertently introduced a bug where the app partially navigates to the camera screen when a photo is tapped. We have no evidence of photos/videos uploaded due to this.
