A rather unusual FaceTime bug has been hitting iPhone 4 users. According to a post that was started on Apple Discussion Forum, Some people claim that FaceTime is bringing up random pictures, mostly from either their past FaceTime calls or photos.
The user wrote:
My boyfriend and I have both recently experienced this problem several times - when one of us is calling the other via FaceTime, an old picture freezes on our screen, while the person receiving the call only sees a black screen. It's kind of creepy, because it brought up photos of both of us at work, where I have used FaceTime a few times but he never has. We're just wondering how/why this is happening, and if there is a fix. It's not terribly inconvenient, but it's definitely unsettling, where is seems that even if we haven't taken a picture or used FaceTime, the camera is keeping images
Whereas, another user feels as if the camera is keeping random images which have neither been taken before and nor are from previous FaceTime calls:
This is very weird. I am experiencing the exact same issue recently. Most notably just minutes ago when i called my GF and i saw a "picture" of myself from today when i was at the office. I know it was from today because i had the exact same shirt. The weirdest thing is that picture is not stored on my iphone. Anyone else experiencing this?
By what can be read in the comments, actions like restoring the phone and manually re-installing all the apps don't seem to work at all. Obviously, people are bound to be concerned about their privacy. It seems like if this issue continues to prevail at a larger scale, we might see a software fix soon enough.
