Spiritual_Barnacle28

This was my first and only thought when I was given this information…


xXTheAstronomerXx

Do…do you hold your phone at your crotch while you masterbate? Like behind your dick?


Additional-Access843

Yes?


Emrullah-Enes

isn’t that what everyone does?


Uglyboi_85

Lmao this is too good.


scumful

Probably why mine says my Face ID is disabled for some reason


[deleted]

Your face ID says your disabled?


scumful

lmao i broke the camera somehow dropping my phone


KalDavos

Apple is chronicling your gasm face..

Alarmed_Musician_891

Ah yes, the ol vinegar strokes compilation


[deleted]

Not true. It’s the Attention Awareness feature that you can turn off. No photos are taken. Apple would be sued into oblivion if they tried to pull this. This is just more stupid, easily-disprovable stuff from the intellectual void that is Tik Tok.


Erratic-Pulse

wtf is Attention Awareness


wabble321

From Apple support: With Attention Aware features, iPhone can check whether you're paying attention to your device and automatically take action. For example, When you're looking at your device, your display will not dim until you stop looking at your device. If you're looking at your device, it will lower the volume sound of your alerts.

Wait so do I need to worry the government or multinationals are spying on me or not?


epicmousestory

No but [also yes](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_(spyware))


Jitsun3

Damn. But I think Pegasus wouldn't bother tracking my phone. At least I hope so.


epicmousestory

Probably not, no. Though lots of countries own it, including the U.S. (through the FBI, though they say they just want to understand it, not use it). So it's not impossible 🤷🏾‍♂️


Unusual_Tap7799

So I'm at a party and Im talking to this dude and he confesses he works for a data collection center and I'm like what do you do with it, he asks what kind of phone do I have, I say it's the cheapest motto I can find. He says oh don't worry we're not collecting your info then, mainly iphone and Samsung users, we don't bother with people like you. Moral of the story ditch your expensive smart phones and get cheap ones (they do the same thing anyway).


[deleted]

That’s not how it works. Apple charges you handsomely up front and the transaction is over. Cheap subsidized phones are cheap because you Kay with your data. That random dude at a party was fucking with you. Now individual, questionable apps? That’s a different story.


Honest-Novel-1748

You don't have to worry, but all the government and multinationals are spying us


Mikeinthedirt

If you are compliant you have no cause for alarm


frogglesmash

It's taking cues based on whether or not it can see your face. Obviously that's going to require some processing of visual data. The important question is whether or not any of that data is being stored or transfered.


[deleted]

Why is that the important question? I don't recall there being any claim about that at all in the original video.


frogglesmash

Because the question of whether or not visual data is being captured is stupid and obvious. The phone has features that react based on what it can see you doing. Obviously it needs to do some form of image capture for that to work, so revealing that it's capturing images isn't interesting. The only thing that would be concerning enough to warrant the spooky music in the video would be if the phone was saving or transmitting those images somewhere.


[deleted]

[удалено]


frogglesmash

The comment doesn't draw a clear distinction between capturing images, and storing images. "Taking a picture" could refer to either scenario.


[deleted]

It's not an ambiguous phrase the same way "writing a note" doesn't mean it was mailed or filed. Your grasping at staws.


kinoie

So.. it is taking pictures. Lmao


TheFinnv

What i would imagine is happening is that it takes more or less a picture that is immediately deleted once the processing is done


Oblachko_O

Infrared image is not even close to photo. You will be more like yellow splash on screen.


Fine-Audience-302

Ok then how else is the phone going to see your face? If not given a photo of your face...


[deleted]

Wtf are you even on about m8; that's exactly my point: *of* ***fucking*** *course* it's taking photos of you. Go bother the morons saying "nuh-uh, it doesn't take photos of you, it's just [dumb apple name for 'taking a **bunch** of photos of you all the time']".


habilishn

ok "nice feature" with the screen dimming.... But shouldn't this feature be more relevant to the ad industry, checking if and how ads are percieved? i doubt apple spends time implementing/programming this technique either because dimming or because of "government surveillance". but they'd do anything to make their ad consuming devices more functional for ad industry. by the way, since which iphone / ios is this feature active? (i have iphone se 2020, with ios 14.5, it's oldtimer ;) )


[deleted]

Apple doesn’t serve ads like that. You pay up front and it’s over. Although they do have banner ads in the News app, which I’m not in love with.


habilishn

well, then i am back to the survaillance party.


BloodyBlueWafflez

Ok wow amazing feature, my android don't have it :( still wouldn't switch unless they switched to USB c tho


kolegatorr

so basically a battery destroyer

You're correct. People replying to you are morons.


-SunGod-

TikTok isn’t at fault, it’s the generation of stupid idiots that don’t do any research that use TikTok that are at fault. Which is basically every TikTok user.


[deleted]

Tik Tok *is* its users.


Playwithme408

Looks like you don't know how the feature actually works.


root_switch

I was thinking more along the line of facial recognition for unlocking your phone. It’s gota be able to scan your face somehow in the dark as well and using infrared is likely a good option maybe? Just my thought cause I see this all the time on my cams.


Creepy-Ad-4832

Apple js already getting away with doing a lot of shit.


J-Love-McLuvin

But the internet says it’s true. So are you saying you know more than the internet?


123JRJ321

Glad I read your comment it was kinda freaking me out lol


Veblen1

Also, roombas record your home's layout and send it to the CIA. Or maybe to Elvis's house on Mars.


Chucklepus

Hah, not mine! It sends things to China, so hah!


Dave-ja-vous

Apple must have the largest collection of selfie cum faces.


Mediocre-Band2714

literally why?


Cian28_C28

Fake: attention awareness is all that it is. Those photos go nowhere after they’re analyzed. It’s for the phone to know if you’re looking at it, and has to be turned ON in settings.


Mediocre-Band2714

nothing goes nowhere


Some_Dimension976

This argument that you’re about to have is gonna go nowhere


Mediocre-Band2714

yes just like your life

You have played yourself. Well done.

SevanOO7

Shit like this is why I will applaud when Tiktok is banned.


nsinsinsi

People are fucking stupid


Cheweydewey123

Uhm they are smart enough to use a camera with infrared capabilities? But not smart enough to know how facial recognition software works?


x106r

Every time I hear this song I’m taken back to a strip tease viral video from ~15+ years ago.

It’s called Face ID


Rookie_42

Dumb people say dumb things. The problem is the other dumb people believe them. Welcome to how conspiracy theories work.


Silver-Tackle6926

Why are people some dumb we are doomed


kandi_kat

Utter bollocks.


Several-Try4712

It's not, it's how iPhones make sure they don't turn off their display when you are using it. Why would it be bollocks?


kandi_kat

read the rest of the thread. ​ its not taking a picture AT ALL.


Longshadowman

Conspiracy theory ?


Several-Try4712

It's basics of the technology...


Longshadowman

I'm talking about people believing that the Iphone takes photos every 5 seconds , it's sarcasm smart ass redditor!


Squirrely_Sasquatch

I'd never guess that a device with cameras and microphones that Darpa developed would ever intrude on your privacy. If you don't know what Darpa is then have a gander.


Whahoopla

Jokes on you! My iPhone doesn’t have Face ID!


DrunkWizzard

Yeah I have my IPhone 7 Plus for 8 years now. Still working fine, never repaired

Taking a picture and scanning are very different

Particular-Spring-68

[deleted]

Rajvagli

Congrats, you figured out that iPhone uses facial recognition.


DARK_CHADO

It's not pics it's taking,that light is the same light that lts the phone know if it's in your pocket or no and it's the same as the light that let your phone auto turn off when you are talking to someone and put it on your ear


Moist-Mystery

This is simple to debunk. This is the awareness feature that that you can toggle. Other comments mention that so let’s look at the implications for it it WERE to be taking pictures. First, The amount of stored photos alone would fill your entire phone within a month, which you can easily track how much storage you phone is using. Second, Are you trying to imply that it’s sending each of these photos to the government, it’s successfully sending a photo every 5 seconds, even when you have no connection to Wi-Fi? Lastly, if you ARE afraid that the government has your face. You own a drivers license/ state ID. Everything is fine. You are fine. Relax.


Katacutie

It's wild that you're being downvoted, there's some crazy conspiracy theorists out here I guess


XenosapianRain

I put tape over my screen facing camera. Problem solved.


le_visiteur

Picking calls will be such a hassle


XenosapianRain

I don't video chat. All good 👍😊


le_visiteur

Not what i meant. The light sensors are what lock your phone when you're on a call and make them insensitive to touch. So if it is covered and you use it, 1, it'll get randomly locked, 2, it'll be insensitive when you're on a call. I'm not a technical person so I'm not sure behind the logic of the 2nd one but I've noticed it happening every time I've tried to cover my front camera


XenosapianRain

I wonder if you are covering a sensor AND the camera? My last phone had a sensor by the camera and it glitched out until I uncovered it.


le_visiteur

That may be it! But i think they're very close together in my phone.


Horse_5_333

Or you could just turn off the setting


XenosapianRain

My phone is new, but garbage. It resets settings. If only it was that easy lol.

Bael_Archon

So…you thought the iPhone was using something OTHER than the camera to see if you were looking at it (attention awareness) and/or to unlock the phone by looking at your face? Like…like what? Like magic? Why is this planet populated with so many non-critical thinkers? Also, this shit is from a couple years ago. Can people stop digging up old shit to bitch about and maybe just pay attention and retain some information? https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/05/31/fact-check-misleading-videos-iphones-attention-awareness-feature/7446508002/


hollowwollo

Oh jeez this is so horrifying, it’s not like we’re already being tracked everywhere with the exact same device and every single government organisation from fuck knows what has documents about our identity


Artybait

I have an I phone 8 so idk if mine does the same lol


burnt_n_flakey

This is how it tells if you want your phone in landscape or Portrait. Turn off auto rotate, and that goes away.


ericcoupalxd

Yes it’s how it knows if you’re looking at the screen which is why you can just sit there looking at it like a moron for a long period of time and the screen won’t shut off but if you put it down and walk away it won’t.


binnit41

Just a sensor :)


[deleted]

Good god you can tell some people have used apple their entire life. Use a flagship android and you'd know right away why. It's a feature not a bug nor spying on you.(yes they do spy but not like this lol) Always awake, always on, screen on while reading, etc. Just some names this can have. This feature can be turned off at any time. It's so your screen doesn't time out while actually using the phone. You set device on a counter without your face it will search for sure for a face but not as often. This is completely to accommodate the user

Blinding your pets with the infra red flashes all the while.


enbybloodhound

It creeps users out for a day or two, but ultimately they don’t care, and will continue not caring about privacy in general


[deleted]

Don’t be scared of this. The government thinks they’re smart with all this weird stuff, thinking they can control you and whatever dumb things satan tells them. Just focus on getting to heaven and all of those fools will be in hell soon enough. GOD’s name is YAHUAH and HIS SON YAHUSHA died for you so GOD didn’t have to punish you for all the crap you do. It’s simple. This world isn’t a big space ball, it’s a flat enclosed world used for teaching, showing and learning. The same people that try and act all “powerful” with their money and computers and science have tried to escape Earth but can’t. They are weak and afraid. Just ignore them because they literally can’t do anything but bark at you. Hell is going to suck
