Found a @facebook #security & #privacy issue. When the app is open it actively uses the camera. I found a bug in the app that lets you see the camera open behind your feed. Note that I had the camera pointed at the carpet. pic.twitter.com/B8b9oE1nbl

Guy Rosen first tweeted that it “sounds like a bug” and the social networking platform was investigating. “Thanks for flagging this. This sounds like a bug, we are looking into it,” tweeted Rosen in reply to a user.
This bug only seems to affect iOS 13 Software users.
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.
