Instagram promises to fix bug after always accessing the camera on iOS 14

As someone who has done a little bit of iOS development for fun, I wouldn&#x27;t be surprised if this is an actual bug. There used to be 10 different ways to do the same thing inside iOS, and neither one was &quot;correct.&quot;<p>Being a photo app, they probably figured out that having instant access to Camera is their top priority, and because you are allowed to access camera in the background and keep it on, there was no harm in doing so.<p>Of course one could also go deep and assume that Facebook is running all video through an ML that picks out faces, location, items, and whatever else they can grab around your surrounding, and then covert that into ad-intent, but however sexy that sounds from technical point, they are after all a public company and need to play by the rules. Unlikely to take on such a massive intrusion of your privacy, knowing that eventually it would get discovered.

My wife, on me telling her about this, pointed the most obvious way Instagram could be using this, without storing, recording, or transmitting anything.<p>As you scroll your feed, they analyze your face, and use your expressions to see how you feel about a particular post. It’s like “likes” on steroids.<p>They already have the face detection, expression detection, etc code built into their app through the filters and those act in real time and locally. It would be super easy to redirect that towards analyzing user expressions in response to posts they may be reading at the time.

Can we please talk about the elephant in the room?<p>There are software engineers, designers, project managers, etc., at Facebook who implemented this bug&#x2F;feature, right? Given the competitive nature of recruiting and employment at Facebook, this feature was not thrown in by accident, or as a bad joke. This behaviour was implemented as part of a bigger feature, or by itself. It was designed, prioritized, and consciously scheduled for implementation, testing, and deployment. It won against other competing ideas with respect to scheduling, budget, and fulfilling team, departmental, and organizational objective key results (OKRs).<p>Artifacts that mention this behaviour exist: whether it be in email chains, project-planning and task-management tools like JIRA, commit messages from version control systems like git, deployment logs, and many, many other such things.<p>Some of those people participate in this forum. Some others no doubt know who they are or who they could be to fair degree of accuracy. Do the rest of us care? Or, do we just point fingers like we are doing now and then go back to hibernating &#x2F; feigning ignorance until the next time something like this happens again?

This title is editorialized. The article confirms that this was due to a bug in iOS and is not Instagram&#x27;s fault.

I think they do it so it is quicker to show the viewfinder when you go to the photo mode. I think Snapchat does the same.

For a while already I have been noticing the red &quot;screen recording&quot; bar on top of the screen appearing and quickly going away at random moments while Instagram is open (since iOS 13 at least). Seems to happen usually while I&#x27;m browsing photo library and&#x2F;or post drafts.<p>Anyone else noticed that? Is it along the same lines as the camera usage bug, or maybe they are just ferociously recording app usage analytics?<p>The worst possibility is that IG&#x27;s always recording my screen (perhaps in concert with the front camera) but successfully suppressing the bar most of the time, and only sometimes the workaround stops working so screeen recording bar shows up for a second. That would be so far from a welcome development.

For those commenting that IG may be secretly and nefariously using data from the camera for business purposes; IG has a &quot;download your data tool&quot;. It includes all the of your data that IG stores. Spoiler Alert: silently-recorded feeds from your camera are not in that dump.

Where’s the national campaign to dump Instagram like there is Tik Tok?

What? The iPhone’s front camera is always on? Are they taking regular video snapshots of you in the background?

Wouldn&#x27;t everybody notice their battery draining? The article doesn&#x27;t mention this.
