Android user finds 14,000 photos of their face they never took

Original: Claude Code found 14,219 photos of my face on my Android that I never took

A developer running Claude Code on their Android phone says the tool surfaced 14,219 photos of their face that they never deliberately took, likely frames captured silently by face-unlock, camera apps or background services. The claim, shared online, has prompted discussion about how much biometric imagery Android devices generate and store without users' knowledge, and how hard it is to audit or delete such hidden files.

Why now: People are alarmed by the suggestion that phones quietly accumulate thousands of biometric images of their owners without consent
