Really I related I suppose, but if you’ve never attempted to use the camera or microphone in the FB app it doesn’t even show those permissions in the app settings, just basic Locations, Photos, etc.
Is that normal?
- machello13 7y agoYes, the way the Settings app works, it doesn't show permissions until the app requests them (the idea being, I suppose, to avoid cluttering up the settings screen for apps that will never need access to certain things).
- spurgu 7y agoSo if I don't see the Camera settings, it means Facebook hasn't been using them?
- antsar 7y agoCorrect, assuming they haven't found some side-channel to bypass the permission system.
- kevinventullo 7y agoAbusing a side-channel like that is an easy way to get booted from the App Store.
- antsar 7y agoGetting caught abusing a side-channel like that is an easy way to get booted from the App Store. FTFY. Also, it's Facebook. Surely they have some strategic/political strings they can pull?
- colejohnson66 7y agoApple revoked Facebook’s enterprise certificate when they were found to be abusing it. Apple holds the reins here.
