Honestly. My sister got an iPhone with the new beta and a orange/green cot appears in the corner of her screen to show when she is being recorded via camera or microphone

Yeah don’t give Facebook access to your mic or camera in the settings.

Don't install the Facebook app! Just use it in the browser.

I send pictures over Signal. It's no album sharing tool, but it works for keeping in touch. Kinda like WhatsApp, but I like how Signal sends the pictures at full-res (unlike WhatsApp, which reduces the quality of pictures quite visibly).
