ChatGPT Remote Control Bug Triggers Camera Indicator
f33ng · reddit · 2026-07-13
A user reported a suspected remote control bug in the ChatGPT App: when using an iPhone to connect to a Mac mini for remote task execution, the iPhone immediately displays a green privacy dot.
In the Control Center, the system shows that "ChatGPT is using the camera." Strangely, this status doesn't clear automatically after the task ends; typically, it requires restarting the app or even the phone. It also seems to drain the battery faster during this time. The user is asking if anyone else has encountered this issue.
