I think it was one of Marco Arment&apos;s blog posts, but his site isn&apos;t available right now.&lt;p&gt;Anyway I also don&apos;t have an iPhone 4, but FaceTime for OS X shows the camera view whenever it&apos;s on so that you can see yourself whenever starting a call. I imagine FaceTime for iOS does something similar.&lt;p&gt;If you combine those two things, you get one possible explanation for what&apos;s going on. One that&apos;s pretty benign, but should probably still be avoided because it obviously spooks users. Oh, and it should probably be at the API level so that the last thing an app saves is &lt;i&gt;never&lt;/i&gt; camera data.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Creepy iPhone bug: front facing camera takes pictures by itself.</title><url>http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2792410&amp;tstart=0</url><text></text></story>

1. Open the camera app and flip the camera to yourself.
2. Close the camera app, and call yourself on your Mac&apos;s FaceTime app.
3. The image that showed up was of me frozen, from just a few moments prior when I flipped the camera around.&lt;p&gt;When I first saw this post, I attempted to call a friend, and saw exactly what that first poster in Apple discussions saw, a black screen.&lt;p&gt;After rebooting it&apos;s all &quot;fine&quot; now. (I&apos;m running 4.3.1)</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Creepy iPhone bug: front facing camera takes pictures by itself.</title><url>http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2792410&amp;tstart=0</url><text></text></story>
