TikTok has access to your camera and microphone, and facial recognition and voiceprinting are considered biometric information.
You can block the permission in settings, but as explained in the FCC letter, TikTok has a documented pattern of bypassing system permissions and accessing data that they shouldn't actually be able to access (which is malware-like behavior).
- jaywalk 4y agoIf TikTok can actually access the camera and microphone after permission has been denied, then Apple and Google have a much bigger issue on their hands and need to fix that ASAP.
