Image Recognition
Apple’s facial recognition stars in a new conspiracy theory circulating on the internet thanks to a viral video, but the explanation is much simpler and more reasonable. A TikTok video accuses Apple of spying and taking photos of users without their consent with the iPhone’s Face ID system. Thomason hints that the phone is taking photos every few seconds automatically and secretly without the person’s permission. The video has gone viral, unsurprisingly, and has sparked a new network of conspiracy around this Apple feature. You are not taking hidden photos, but it does analyze whether the person is paying attention to the mobile or not.
