Sa mga nagtatanong if scam ba yung Lyka? ito nakita ko sa app nato habang naka iOS 14 beta ako

Hello guys. Para ito sa mga nag tatanong if "scam" ba yung Lyka or not.
Nakita ko tong subreddit nato thru google kasi nag hahanap ako if meron Lyka subreddit, sadly wala.
Gusto ko lng i-share findings ko if "scam" yung Lyka. If may alam kana about sa iOS 14 green and orange indicators, skip mo nlng 2 paragraphs po.

So nasa iOS 14 developer beta po ako as I'm a mobile developer. My friends started sharing this Lyka that promotes 1 gem = 1 piso as OP stated. Di ko pa na explore yung app mismo para malaman if legit ba yang 1 gem = 1 piso pero wala ako pake diyan kasi may nakita ako na mas nabulaga ako sa app.

Yung iOS 14 kasi meron "Orange" and "Green" indicators na lumalabas sa status bar nang iPhone/iPad natin if ina-access nung app yung camera (Green indicator) or yung location (Orange indicator). Note: "Access" po meaning ginamit freely nung app yung image from your phone's cam, pero walang description if ina-anu yung app yung camera. iOS 14 beta is only accessible to developers, so if nasa iOS 13 ka or below, walang indicators kang makikita sa status bar.

Okay so sa Lyka, habang nasa feed ako nang Lyka may napansin akong green indicator sa status bar, it means the app is accessing my camera in the background. Para malinaw ko lang, magkaiba yung "may access" sa "ina-access", it doesn't mean kasi if yung app may access, meron nang lalabas na indicator, hindi po. Kasi yung other apps like messenger na ina-approve ko to use my camera and photos, don't have this green indicator not until i use Messenger's camera to upload photos or capture. Also pwede mo makita what app is accessing your camera sa control center.

Nung minimize ko yung Lyka app, meron "Touch to return Lyka" then may microphone symbol sa left side nito. Sa mga non-iPhone users po dito, lumalabas ito tuwing nag rerecord ka nang screen, capture video, or record microphone. Ito screen grab about sa tinutokoy ko na ina-access ni Lyka yung microphone. Ito naman yung screenshot from that screen grab. Similarly, ganito naman yung itsura if nag rerecord screen mo. Kinuha ko yan habang ni-record ko yung screen ko using built-in screen recorder.

Also i'm using iPhone 6S, so my phone heats up a lot under intensive usage like camera app or video recording. Habang ginagamit ko yung Lyka, grabe uminit yung phone ko. Di ito nag iinit katulad nang mga mabibigat na FB/Messenger app.

Some of these policies are standard, but ikaw na mag judge diyan.

In conclusion, di muna ako mag jujudge if bakit ina-access ni Lyka yung camera/microphone ko while using the app kahit nasa feed lng ako. One possibility is that they're recording via the camera in the background without you knowing.

So mag ingat po kayo sa ganitong klaseng apps. Madaming jan legit na app.
