\n\"The<\/p>\n

Few iPhone privacy issues make people as nervous as whether an app is using your camera or not. Luckily, thanks to Apple\u2019s Privacy settings, it\u2019s easy to know which apps have access to your iPhone\u2019s built-in camera. Here\u2019s how to check\u2014and how to revoke access if necessary.<\/p>\n

First, open \u201cSettings\u201d on your iPhone by tapping the gear icon.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

In \u201cSettings,\u201d tap \u201cPrivacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"In<\/p>\n

In \u201cPrivacy,\u201d tap \u201cCamera.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"In<\/p>\n

After that, you\u2019ll see a list of apps that have asked you for camera access in the past. Apps that currently have access to your iPhone camera will have a green \u201con\u201d switch beside them. Apps that do not have access have a grey \u201coff\u201d switch beside them.<\/p>\n

(Also, apps that are not listed here do not have camera access, either.)<\/p>\n

\"An<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to take away iPhone camera access from an app, tap the switch beside it in the list to turn it off. Likewise, you can also grant camera access to a listed app by turning the switch on.<\/p>\n

\"In<\/p>\n

After that, exit \u201cSettings,\u201d and your changes will already be in effect.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re running iOS 14 and up, you can easily tell when an app is using your iPhone\u2019s built-in camera. Simply look in the upper-left corner of your screen at the status bar: If you see a green dot there, then an app is using the camera. (If there\u2019s an orange dot, that means your microphone is in use.)<\/p>\n

\"If<\/p>\n

If an app is using your camera when you don\u2019t expect it to, it might be worth visiting the settings we detailed above (Settings > Privacy > Camera) and flipping the switch beside it to \u201coff.\u201d After that, the app will no longer be able to use your iPhone\u2019s camera. Good luck!<\/p>\n
