Does anyone else?

Cover the cameras :camera_flash: on your phone or lap top?

Does it mean I’m cautious or paranoid?

Just the Internet when it’s happening.

Close any windows in the background, but also phone companies are so corrupt, Im pretty sure they plan that kind of stuff so you buy a new phone after so many years.

That happened to my old phone. Had to keep it on charge constantly. Until it started taking like 10 hours to fully charge. Then eventually it just wouldnt charge and became useless. I suspect i may have damaged the battery from using my phone hotspot to install massive games on my xbox while charging it. It would get super hot and become spastic.

Do you think it’s normal just using the Internet on my phone?

Hmm shouldn’t be. But if your phone is more than like 3 years old its not uncommon for them to just start becoming crap and useless. So that you’ll buy the newer ones. So we are trapped endlessly purchasing devices and being locked into phone plans until we die haha.

Face ID was the thing that made me keep my front facing camera uncovered. It’s just so useful.

That said, I make sure neither camera has a view of me when I’m in the bathroom changing, showering, using the toilet or in the bedroom when I am changing or getting spicy. Just creeps me out too much.

I always cover the camera on my laptop. My laptop has a little slider that you can slide to cover the camera, so I’m guessing that covering the camera is something alot of people do.

I put black tape over my camera. I heard that it was possible for computer hackers to access the camera and see what is in its view. I also have Kaspersky computer virus protection which alerts me when the camera is in use.
