BBO app using camera in background

[pescetom]

My Android phone just surprised me by warning that BridgeBase was detected using Camera permissions in background.

 

I had used the BridgeBase app briefly two hours earlier, to look at history.

That session will have timed out long before this event was detected, although I did not kill the app.

I have never used the BridgeBase app with video (if that is possible).

The App settings of BridgeBase say "No permissions allowed" (Camera, Microphone, Storage and Telephone are all off).

Version 5.9.3 downloaded from Google Play Store.

 

Any idea what is going on here?

Happened again just now, I have the BBO app running but have not played.

Slightly different message:

Bridgebase has been detected using camera.

 

BBO, some comment please. I have screen shot if useful.

The one thing I know "uses" the camera is the personal page, because it has a way to take a picture and make it your profile pic.

 

Of course, since my computer that plays BBO has a pretty "Puerto Vallarta Regional" sticker in the top middle, I don't worry about this as much. Can't imagine why that might have happened. I'm sure it's just because the lizard on the sticker is cute.

I have a piece of tape to cover my pc camera, but that's hardly practical on a modern smartphone which has more cameras than buttons.

I imagine the Android permissions trump anything the app attempts to do, but that is no comfort for anyone who granted camera permission (to take a profile picture or to play with video, if possible in the app).
