So as you may know, i’m an iPhone user and a hater of Google. Recenly, it has came to my attention that i am somehow being spied on, as this has been appearing lately every single day:

Now i did not open the camera at all, and somehow it’s saying that’s being used.

Not only that, but basically i had a qr code saved in my camera roll. Every time someone scans it, i get a notification. However, randomly at 12 am, somehow i got a notification saying that someone scanned it. The QR code was not shared anywhere or posted, and the phone was offline at that time too. Now i think that its probably the time to switch from iOS to android.

Why is android superior then iOS, why, and how is it safer then iOS and what phone should i buy? (no pixel tho)

    If someone scanned that QR code, it means they have a copy. If they, or someone else then scanned it (or copied the text from it and pasted in a browser), it would function as if they scanned it.

    I mean really, this is how QR codes work. It’s shorthand for text, typically used to URL’s.
