Facebook Bug Has Camera Activated While People Are Using the App

'When you're scrolling through Facebook's app, the social network
could be watching you back, in more ways than just your data,
concerned users have found. Multiple people have found and reported
that their iPhone cameras were turned on in the background while
looking at their feed. From a report:

The issue came to light with several posts on Twitter, showing that
their cameras were activated behind Facebook's app as they were
watching videos or looking at photos on the social network. After
clicking on the video to full screen, returning it back to normal
would create a bug where Facebook's mobile layout was slightly shifted
to the right. With the open space on the left, you could now see the
phone's camera activated in the background. This was documented in
multiple cases, with the earliest incident on November 2.'
