Potential screenshot of FaceTime call?

I’ve seen this question before, and I wonder if there is any answer/resolution to the question of whether there are unauthorized screen shots being taken during FaceTime calls. I have been using FaceTime quite a bit during the pandemic, and increasingly I have the suspicion that a 3rd party is taking photos while I am on a call. It happens regardless of whether I call or answer a call. The person I talk to can also see a flash or “blink” of a black screen as if one of us took a screenshot, but we haven’t. It might happen once or several times during a call. I generally feel secure with Apple products and apps, but this is making me feel very uneasy.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

Hello Appleshrink,


It looks like no one has responded to your question. Here are a couple things that might help others answer your question:



  1. Could you tell us which iOS version you're using?
  2. Do you notice the blinking happening on all FaceTime calls?
  3. Which iPhone model are you using?
