TikTok User Shows iPhone Taking ‘Invisible Photos’ Of iPhone User

Our iPhones are taking invisible pictures of us, according to new findings.

Yeah, yeah, we know. We’ve always known but, now there appears to be more solid evidence. A TikTok user named Brie Thomason shared a video of a mobile device snapping infrared images of an iPhone user.

In the TikTok video, a digital camera using an infrared lens – a lens filter that allows your camera to measure infrared light in a scene and blocks the most visible light – is seen filming an iPhone user looking at his home screen. As the iPhone user stares continues to look at the device, Thomason’s camera shows the iPhone taking several infrared images of the iPhone user every five to 10 seconds, WGN reports.

Thomason’s video was uploaded on May 8 and since then its gained more than 230,000 likes and over 18,000 shares.

While people aren’t too happy about the evidence, which more or less confirms what we’ve all believed to be true, Apple claims it is just an aspect of the iPhone that allows users to control their face ID and Animoji. The feature can be found on iPhone X and later models of the iPad Pro.

Apple says that this feature is a part of a new “TrueDepth IR camera.” This device also includes a slew of sophisticated components like a “flood illuminator.” When used, Apple officials say the iPhone emits 30,000 infrared dots in a known pattern when a face is detected. In short, WGN reports that the iPhone is actually taking “invisible” photos of you.
