Users are now worried about their privacy and many caption #DELETEFACEBOOK.
This bug issue was discovered by Joshua Madduz, owner of web design firm 95visual. This appears exclusively ro iOs and does not affect Android devices.
"I thought I had opened the camera by accident… Then, on Saturday evening as I closed out a video on Facebook, I saw the camera again on the left side", Maddux said.
Facebook says they will fix a bug that inadvertently accesses iPhone users camera while scrolling their News Feed.
A bug in Facebook's flagship iOs application caused the app's camera to activate after users tapped on photos while browsing their news feed.
Facebook vice president, Guy Rosen took to Twitter to address the issue and concerns, "We recently discovered that our iOS app incorrectly launched in landscape. In fixing that last week in V246, we inadvertently introduced a bug where the app partially navigates to the camera screen when a photo is tapped. We have no evidence of photos or videos uploaded due to this".

Everyone recommends to revoke camera access for the Facebook app until an update is available. Facebook management has been working to win back users trust after the issue.
A security firm discovered hundreds of millions of Facebook records were left exposed on Amazon cloud servers earlier this year.
