That is a pretty poor test to make such an accusation with any certainty. I'm not saying that it isn't the case but taking 2 photos with different phones in a dimly lit room and no other tests is really, really silly.
I'm not jumping on the Beautygate bandwagon until I see something a little more concrete. Also, if this is only for the front-facing camera, as it seems from the post, then this is even less of an issue. The whole point of the front-facing camera is to take selfies.
- happytoexplain 8y agoI agree with your first paragraph. That said, you have no problem with the front-facing camera silently applying a beautifying filter with no option to disable it? Honestly, that statement, followed by the claim that that camera is only for taking selfies to the exclusion of all non-vanity uses, sounds like sarcasm - but I'm pretty sure you're not being sarcastic. Can you clarify?
- sleepybrett 8y agoFurther into the thread there is another test (on the 12.1 beta) that has no smoothing.
- dkonofalski 8y agoSorry... I'm not being sarcastic but, currently, I have zero reason to believe that any kind of filter is being applied, hence why I believe this is less of an issue. What other uses, besides pointing the camera at your face, would someone have for using a front-facing camera? If you wanted a picture of anything else, you'd just use the regular camera which has already been shown to not exhibit the behavior. What non-vanity uses are there for the camera?
