Few iPhone privacy issues make people as nervous as whether an app is using their camera or not. Fortunately, thanks to Apple's privacy settings, easy to know which apps have access to your iPhone's built-in camera. Next, We show you how to verify and how to revoke access if necessary.
First, abra “Setting” en su iPhone tocando el ícono de ajustes.
On “Setting”, touches “Privacy”.
On “Privacy”, touches “Camera”.
Thereafter, you will see a list of apps that have asked you to access the camera in the past. Las aplicaciones que hoy en día disponen acceso a la cámara de su iPhone tendrán un interruptor verde “has the international standard symbol for a power button on or next to it” junto a ellas. Applications that do not have access have a gray kill switch next to them.
(At the same time, apps not listed here also don't have access to the camera).
If you want to remove access to the iPhone camera from an application, tap the switch next to it in the listing to disable it. In the same way, you can also grant camera access to a listed app by flipping the switch.
Thereafter, get out of “Setting” y sus cambios ya estarán vigentes.
If you are running iOS 14 onwards, you can easily tell when an app is using your iPhone's built-in camera. Just look in the upper right corner of your screen in the status bar: if you see a green dot there, then an app is using the camera. (If there is an orange dot, means your microphone is in use).
If an app is using your camera when you don't expect it to, it might be worth visiting the settings we previously detailed (Settings> Privacy> Camera) y mover el interruptor junto a ella a “off”. Thereafter, the app will no longer be able to use your iPhone's camera. Good luck!
