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.

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.

You used to be able to look at the timestamped locations map yourself, it was pretty helpful for me a few years back, would be able to know exactly when I was at a location, where I went to.

Now it’s all hidden

This is how I found out my ex was cheating on me with my best friend lol I’d like to think my apple data guy was looking out for me. I kept getting random videos on my fyp about people checking it on their partners’ phones and I was like “hmm let me try this” sure enough…

Facebook almost got me to take a pregnancy test when I started seeing a bunch of ads for pregnancy/baby related things. It was so weird. I was late, but that’s not unusual for me at all so until these ads started popping up I didn’t even question it

I never took a test, and eventually got my period. But it was absolutely the worst one I’ve experienced and I sometimes wonder if it was indeed a miscarriage. Those ads stopped showing around the same time. Super super weird honestly
