Privacy@Lemmy.world : Are there any privacy issues with keeping camera or mic access on for iOS apps? (lemmy.world)

iOS is very good about sandboxing and only letting apps run things while the app is open and focused on. It shows green and orange dots when the camera or mic is being used, and none of my use them without saying so and they only do so when they actually need them. If that is the case, are there any potential privacy issues with it?

Depends on how paranoid you are and if you trust the people making your software.
