Uhh, I/O is also sandboxes with system calls, typically. I would expect that the camera roll viewer in apps is a component made by Apple and it handles the viewing and selecting of photos and only returns the photos that the user selected to the app. Just because you are seeing those photos in the app doesn't mean the app has the data.
Are you kidding? The reason this was discovered is because iOS13 doesn't open successive popup modals in fullscreen, and leaves previous views shrunk a bit behind. It doesn't mean that iOS13 is the reason this is happening, just that it's finally become visible.
It probably is a bug, but they don't need to send the video feed to make use of this. They could be running image recognition on what camera sees, and seding just that small amount of data.
Are you kidding? Never. Cambridge Analytica taught them how to win elections and influence people with this stuff. Facebook and social media in general is NEVER getting regulated. They'll continue to blame every victim of this stuff for anything that happens to them, and casually scold Facebook in the news while never lifting a finger over it. Not a chance.
No doubt about that, a million other ways to keep in contact with people you care about.
This is not how apps work, no.
The reason lots of people in tech do this is so we don't accidentally dial into a meeting when working remotely and show our stupid face to an entire meeting room if we forget to disable video before joining. It has close to zero to do with worrying about having someone watch you through your webcam.
Most likely explanation is this is a way to optimize opening the camera faster for taking pictures for your feed/story. Lots of companies with camera-centric functionality are obsessed with how fast you can open the camera in-app. But nobody here is going to accept any explanation short of a full blown conspiracy.
Yeah, given it's their full camera screen running that would make sense. Either that or something on the Image screen causes the camera to load due to changes in the newest version of iOS. If they actually wanted to do what people suspect them of doing
Yup.
Speaking from experience, if you don't pre-load the camera then the user will see a second or two of black screen as the camera connects. It's nothing major, but not surprising that apps like Facebook do things like this to hide that from users as best as possible.
