The bug, which was revealed by Guy Rosen, Facebook’s VP of Integrity, caused the app to secretly record iPhone users as they scrolled through the app. Mr Rosen explained that the bug was accidentally added to the code, and has now been remvoed. 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.”Thankfully, Mr Rosen added that the camera didn’t capture anything since it was in preview mode. However, it’s raised some serious concerns among Facebook users about the privacy of the iOS app.
