A day ago we reported that Facebook Is Using Your iPhone’s Camera Secretly. The issue was serious one for new iPhone users using iPhone 11 series.
According to a Verge report today, the company has fixed the issue and has submitted an updated app to the Apple store. All iPhone users — regardless of the model they use, should update their Facebook app as soon as possible,
We have also updated the app and can confirm the issue is resolved.
