I received a FaceTime call. I thought I was answering a phone call. When I started talking I saw my other party in a picture! I looked again and there was a picture of me as well! How can someone call me and without my knowledge show a picture of me? I received a FaceTime call. I thought I was answering a phone call. When I started talking I saw my other party in a picture! I looked again and there was a picture of me as well! How can someone call me and without my knowledge show a picture of me on my phone on their phone? This seems extremely intrusive when I didn’t know I was on a FaceTime call…

FaceTime call I FaceTimed someone on their request. When the FT call was picked up their face was in both screens. The big screen was a screen shot of some sort of the Individual. The individual was also in the small screen where my image should of been. They were moving and talking just fine. It was like I was watching the person talk to someone. Is there any explanation to this? If anyone has an explanation or needs a deeper understanding I would like to somehow show the image that I’m talking about.

They did not activate your camera. You did when you accepted the FaceTime call.
