We found a interesting complain on the Apple Support forum about FaceTime “FaceTime shows random, old pictures when initiating a call”. A girl said, she is seeing old pictures when she calls her boyfriend using FaceTime. On the same moment she is seeing these old pictures, her boyfriend is seeing 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”. Does FaceTime secretly takes photos?

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. If anyone else is experiencing this, we’d love feedback. Thanks!
