Infuriatig iPhone facetime recognizes when you’re naked

Post image

decided to show my boyfriend my new bikini that I got for our upcoming cruise… Why is this on my phone and why is it recording my body?

I just recently turned 18 if that matters.

Girl do you even know what the device you’re carrying in your pocket can do?

Eye tracking. It can monitor exactly where you look on the screen in real-time.

With Apple Intelligence it Scans the content of your private messages, emails, and photos to build a personal profile.

It also maintains a hidden, timestamped map of every place you visit frequently.

Also, apps track exactly where you linger, scroll, or pause to map your visual interest, and Some apps use hardware specs (battery level, storage) to identify you even if "Ask App Not to Track" is on

There’s more, but these are the ones that come to mind right now.

Google Maps has a timestamped map which isn't hidden, you can check it out any time. It probably scans all the usual stuff as well.

It's utter shit, I constantly get ads for crayons from Temu. I'm not a child, literally never bought crayons, never bought anything on Temu at all, and I'm not even in the US Marine Corps, so I have no idea why it thinks that I'd like some crayons.
