How Facebook Bug Secretly Recorded Iphone Users by MGab25(m): 5:25pm On Nov 14, 2019
Facebook’s VP of Integrity, Mr. Guy Rosen recently revealed how a bug in their IOS App caused the App to secretly Record iPhone Users while they scrolled through Facebook.

Mr. Guy Rosen also revealed that the code was accidentally added to the Application, but has now been removed in the latest version of Facebook’s iOS App.

The app with the Bug is version 244 of the Facebook iOS app, so, Check your App and Update to the Latest Version.

His Tweet goes as thus; “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.”

Although Facebook’s VP of Integrity revealed that they stored no record of the videos recorded while the Bug was in Play, the tweet caused a stir on twitter as a User replied the tweet with one that goes as thus; “I don’t believe this was accidental or that it doesn’t affect Android.”

Could this be one of the reasons Facebook App requests access to our Camera?

A Twitter User recorded a video of how he discovered the Bug while using Facebook.

So they decided to come clean so as to avoid lawsuit or what?
And to all the people shouting and ranting about that faceapp that became viral some months ago, do you now see that nothing is truly secure, no total privacy really exist anywhere.

Okay na today

G.oogle is also doing somthing similar with your mic, if you have android phone. Disable goo.gle now/assistant today.

If you go into go.ogle account settings, data and personalisation. Turn off what you don't need, all your search history and other things are saved. although they claim only you get to see those stuffs, i don't believe that story.

If your privacy matters to you, stay off social media and the internet as whole.
