Users notice Facebook's iOS app accesses the camera as they do unrelated things like scrolling their feeds; one workaround is to revoke app's camera permissions (@alfredwkng / CNET)

We recently discovered our iOS app incorrectly launched in landscape. In fixing that last week in v246 we inadvertently introduced a bug where the app partially navigates to the camera screen when a photo is tapped. We have no evidence of photos/videos uploaded due to this.

Hello Guy! Are you absolutely sure about this? When I point the camera at object A for a while, swing it to object B and then trigger the glitch, I get an image of object B, suggesting it was already accessing the camera before I triggered the glitch.

Wanted to let you know that we've shipped the fix to App Store and are waiting for it to be approved. Team is still digging into details including about the state of the camera after the bug is first triggered (which relates to your Q), expect to be able to update you later today

Oh yes, we totally believe this was a "bug". I mean it's not like Facebook has a long, long history of spying on people or disregarding their basic privacy or anything.
