Mumsnet wants to use your camera

[Murica]

I just got a pop-up saying this. What's going on?

🤯🤯🤯

Well that’s creepy.

I definitely need to hear what’s the answer to this.

I presume it’s phishing or something???

Were you trying to upload a picture to a post?

Hi @Murica as @pickledeggnog said, this could happen if you clicked on add image and chose the option to take a photo rather than upload from device.

Could you possibly share a screen shot of the pop up, along with the URL of the page you're seeing it on? Any info about device and browser would also be useful. If you don't want to share that on this thread then please email us [email protected]. We'll take a look.

Hardly creepy

If the op was trying to upload an image most apps now ask for permission to access your camera, so they can access photos to add

Lord some really struggle with technology

I wasn't trying to upload a picture or anything, on purpose anyway. I immediately clicked to block it but if happens again, I'll definitely get a screen shot. Thanks!

A) OP didn’t say she was trying to upload an image.

B) OP has since confirmed she wasn’t trying to upload an image.

Lord some really struggle reading what has been written.

@Murica thank you - that would be really helpful.
