It’s not a conspiracy theory, if you believe one WOMAN’s “proof” that iPhones take photos of your face every five seconds. Via TikTok, the user claimed that an infrared camera had helped her discover the truth.
According to her, the device’s Face ID function takes photos millions of times a day. She says in the video: “We just discovered that your iPhone takes an infrared photo of you with Face ID every five seconds.
Friends then showed their experiment, in which they used a camera to focus on a man holding an iPhone.
The woman claims that the flashes the infrared lens seems to pick up every few seconds are due to the phone taking pictures.
To clarify what’s really going on for his thousands of followers, computer guru Mitch edited the video.
Relax”, he says, “it’s actually Apple’s camera technology called True Depth Camera”.
