Facebook automatically opens the iPhone camera app, update it immediately to fix it

When users surf on New Feeds, iPhone cameras automatically operate in the background to track users. The unusual behavior of this Facebook app on iOS was discovered and recorded by Twitter's Joshua Maddux account.

The video recorded by Joshua Maddux shows that when users surf the News Feed, the iPhone's camera is still active. According to Maddux, he checked on five different iPhones running iOS 13.2.2, all of which showed up.

This situation only occurs in iOS 13.2.2, the latest version. IOS 13.1.3 versions and Android devices are not affected.

Facebook has acknowledged this bizarre security bug. Facebook says the iPhone's rear camera error automatically opens when a user clicks on a photo that occurred in connection with the v246 update released last week to fix a minor bug in landscape screen rotation mode.

Currently, Facebook has released an app update on the App Store to fix the problem. Users have been able to download immediately to fix the above problem.

In 2017, Facebook was caught in the Cambridge Analytica scandal, which leaked the personal information of more than 400 million users. After the Facebook incident, security expert Felix Krause recommends that users should block access to Facebook's camera to minimize risks, though this will make the social networking application experience imperfect.

  1. Facebook allows users to turn off notification dots
  2. Facebook launches a new logo, simple but with many implications
  3. Facebook and Instagram prohibit the use of eggplant and peach symbols in sensitive content
