Amazon lens keeps running camera in background (Amazon iOS app)

40 pointsby sweetrobot2kalmost 2 years ago
noticed that the 'amazon lens' feature keeps running in the background until you open another app, even after you exit the mode - i noticed this because you cannot launch the flashlight until you switch apps. not sure if the camera is actually running or some flag is not reset, but ios seems to think so as well.

If the camera is on, there is a green dot in the top bar (close to the battery indicator). Mic usage is shown via an orange dot iirc. Active location tracking by a white arrow in a blue dot.

Perhaps file a report with Amazon: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;gp&#x2F;help&#x2F;customer&#x2F;display.html?nodeId=GPXKBLY3LY4ZNG5H" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;gp&#x2F;help&#x2F;customer&#x2F;display.html?nodeId=...</a>.
