    When I'm scrolling through facebook and in particularly a set of photos that someone has post, it seems to flash at each pic as if my phone is taking the pic for storage.

    Does anyone know what I mean by the above and how do you stop it?

    I'm worried about haveing an epilectic fit as it is fuggin annoying.

    @Hooroo sounds dodgy as...so you mean it is taking like a normal photo you would with the flash??

    you added any apps recently or have you got anti-virus?

    No,

    Just a crap way that i have explained it. it seems to do the screenshot type of pic (no actual flash)

    Prolly can't explain what I am seeing.

    Someone will know what I mean though

    It's a new iPhone feature where it randomly takes photos of you and automatically uploads them to Facebook.

    @Hooroo I think I know what you mean as I have an extension on chrome on my laptop that creates a file of most pics and videos you look at, so you can then click a button and download them if you want to.

    But you have an iPhone anyway don't you, so I have no idea 🙂

    I think what @Hooroo means when he says it flashes is that it flashes as if it is taking a screenshot rather than an actual picture.

    There are some Apple guru's on here aren't there? I've only ever been Android so can only add annoying comments that don't help.

    No, it isn't actually taking a pic it is just a motion that resembles taking a screenshot.

    @Hooroo as above, DODGY AS!

    Maybe your True love installed an app to keep an eye on what you up to 😉

    @taniwharugby She paid me to hack it. Some pretty interesting pictures and messages on there.

    I probably wouldn't have gone with the username "carlosdanger_nz" though.

    Just checked mine, it's not doing that. Have you tried deleting the app and re-installing it?

    Nah, it happened a year or so ago and I managed to find the setting but it has just come back in latest upgrade

    It's the worst app for burying settings.
