So much for apple keeping data private.
- djrogers 7y agoThat’s some inflammatory wording there - what Apple does is allow people to write apps that can use the front camera and a limited depth map - after asking the users permission. How else could a 3rd party app take selfies or use depth mapped filters (Snapchat anyone)? This is completely different from what the article implies - that Apple shares FaceID enrollment data with anyone who asks. If Apple restricted access to that hardware, the internet would flip out and cry foul. So they allow it, with a lot of limitations, and people still try to make an issue of it.. sigh....
