I remember a phone company saying they were going to install cameras in the screens but then no one every talked about it again. Does anyone check?

Edit: I mean hidden cameras for “security”.

      Yeah, but you should be able to access those via root and/or there are ways to see what kind of information is being sent where. You really don’t need to open it to get at these things. Hell, you can completely change your phone OS if you want.

        It’s not quite that simple. If it’s a piece of hardware that’s not intended for public use, then there certainly are not gonna be any drivers provided. There will be drivers hidden in their proprietary software, but installing your own os won’t include those. And if nobody knows they are there, who’s going to hack the hardware and write a driver?

        I’m obviously not that techy even though I’m on Lemmy, I would be too freaked out to even root my phone.
