    That was my first thought. And how many people have done this already? It’s way too easy to take pictures of people while pretending to just be on your phone. They should introduce a little red LED when the camera is on, at the very least.

      I remember when it was required that cameras give a little shutter noise to take a picture, I wish they still did. Would deter a lot of people.

        I guess it would.

        OTOH it’s always one of the first things I disable on my phone. That being mandatory would piss me off.

        In most laptop web cams, the little LEDs are part of the hardware/firmware modules.
