Jakarta, Cellular.ID – Apple is known to be testing iOS 14 beta. Interestingly, the tech giant company found Instagram who always accesses the device’s camera.

Responding to this, Instagram insists its application will only access the camera if the user activates it.
“We only access your camera when you tell us. For example, when you shift from Feed to camera. ” the official Instagram statement said.

“We found and are fixing a bug in iOS 14 Beta which erroneously shows that some users use cameras, even though they aren’t. We do not access your camera in that regard, and no recorded content. ” clear Instagram.
With the discovery of Instagram access, it also shows iOS 14 beta which brings a big increase in user privacy. The operating system will remind the user every time there is an application or something that is trying to access the device either through the camera, keyboard or microphone.
