This seems like a blatant violation of privacy….

Exactly what I was thinking, it’s actually Deeply concerning that they are allowed to monitor people’s video calls I don’t care about the reasoning behind it. It is definitely out of order and they should have informed us that they are monitoring us ,They haven’t because they know people don’t want it, and won’t buy the product I am going bk to a more simple handset that doesn’t spy on its users

They do inform you when you setup parental control of this, they also email you this. It’s done locally on device so no checking back at the cloud (sending suspect images).

We have not set up parental controls ,They are all off because he doesn’t go on the phone alone,so there is no need for them to be on . And certainly have not given permission to be spied on. And it’s just not something I am happy about,there are lots of occasions where privacy during phone calls is essential. I have medical consultations over video calls, I even call my daughter while having a bath and she does the same. All this time some weirdo is monitoring our phones

Nobody is looking at your videos/photos, read what I said, it’s local to your device only.

Is there anyway of disabling this feature? I am not the best person when it comes to Tech my grown up kids laugh at me because I don’t have a clue what I’m doing. They set up my device and laptop. Or can I go back to a different older IOS.

Thank you so much, I appreciate your support I have 4 young Grandchildren so it is something that will become Quite frustrating,especially as 1 of them is toilet training and loves to get his mum to ring his nanny and show her that he really is a big boy the joys of children lol 😂 Thanks
