Ideas for covering forward-facing camera?

[Jimmy James]

I understand why you would do it. In the alternative you could refrain from masturbating in front of the phone.

Hmmm.. It is hard to me to imagine where your phone is when you jo. If you keep it on your hand, only visible areas are your hairstyle, foreahead and maybe eyes...

I dont get the point to cover the cam. If the hackercracker is able to use my cam, im pretty sure, he can access to all my info too.

1. Purchase a roll of heavy duty tinfoil from your local co-op.
2. Fashion it into a hat
3. Wear hat

Once the above is done, take a little bit of left over tinfoil and tape it over the front facing camera.

There's hope for you yet. Seriously, though, one of the most frustrating things about using online forums like this is when people don't respond with useful responses. It wastes everybody's time. I only hope you're a bit more thoughtful in the future. Cheers!

I totally understand your reason for covering your front camera lense. I cover both front and back camera lense with black electrical tape. Until these peeps are ever in our shoes they won't understand our reasoning. I wouldn't worry explaining.

You can use a washable black Sharpe and cover it up with that and use your finger to remove it when you need it.

Maybe try with rubber band ?

And few questions:
Do you use VPN, don't have Google Account, disabled iCloud, use DuckDuckGo as web engine... Don't have FACEBOOK account?

Instead of wrecking a good phone, perhaps a fake moustache or paper bag may be better.

Recommend two paper bags. One for phone and one over head. Just in case one bag breaks.

I thought we put this thread to bed? Or am I getting feelings of deja vu.

Just to clarify and reiterate: you failed, indeed.

just curious, what did you finally do?

See, most people have friends and a social structure where they learn how to interact with others.

Judging by your blatant rudeness, disrespect, and clear paranoia it's obvious you lack a social circle of your own, and I think all of us here can see why.

Some fun, and relevant facts for you:

1.) Unless you're specifically using questionable apps? Your camera isn't on, and no one is spying on you.

2.) An iPhone isn't the target a "hacker" wants because the OS is entirely sandboxed. Meaning the camera doesn't just pop on to check out your neck beard, as it has to be activated by an app.

3.) In the event someone used your phone to spy on you, they'd be more interested in the GPS and microphones than cameras.

4.) Chicks do not dig fedoras.

5.) Asking for help and being rude not only derails your need for assistance, but makes people dislike you, or perhaps even mock you.

6.) You aren't important enough to be spied on by the government or a private firm.

Now run along upstairs. I'm sure your mom is making a nice turkey.

And you call yourself a saint?

Clearly a sharpie is the best option. Non-intrusive, near enough invisible, and can be wiped clean if you ever get over your paranoia

Right now, I use a piece of electrical tape. It works okay, but falls off once in a while. I don't want to permanently cover it on the rare occasion I need it. Ideas welcome.

Note: Please refrain from the "why would you want to do that?" responses. They aren't helpful. Thanks!

Get a glass screen protector and a drop of nail polish

Definitely the cheapest screen protector and a drop of nail polish on the protector will do.
