In the wake of the Facetime bug comes news of even more insidious breaches on your Apple devices. Yes, *that* Apple, the one that makes so much of having this "safe" and locked down environment, where you can only run applications that they have approved, for your own protection.
iOS apps are able to scrape screenshots of, basically, everything you do, and then send that back to, well, whoever they choose. https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2019/02/08/iphone-apps-record-your-screen-sessions-without-asking/ or https://is.gd/kPmeUl
Without asking.
Without letting you know.
This isn't even a bug. It seems to be part of the iOS system, and could have valid uses (although what they are escapes me at the moment).
The fact that Apple, with it's closed and locked down system, allows this sort of thing is rather disturbing ...
