Why does Continuity Camera's default setting turn on by itself when answering a call on the computer? This seems a clear violation of privacy.

Hey!

Also, you would probably like to check your Firewall settings since only couple people have reported this and I can't get to the bottom of this...

Basically try enabling Firewall and turn "Deny all incoming". Quit settings app. Open it up again and check if it's on.

It's crazy if Ventura is turning Firewall settings off on itself and adding Control Center to "Accept all incoming".

This thing just bugs me to no end...

I made a post here about this: macOS Ventura Firewall issues/security co… - Apple Community

I start to think there is something terribly wrong with Ventura...

Agreed! How incredibly annoying is it to get or place a call on your macbook only to have everything coming through your phone on the other side of the room. Dumbest decision ever, makes you wonder where Apple gets their designers...

just went through an issue where this has caused a legal privacy breach. Was on a video call, camera switched to the iPhone without notice, sent an image of private documents to persons without permission.

I never remember turning this on, the camera gave no notice it was switching. it appears to me, a clear case of negligence on the part of Apple to enable with without several warnings it was go in to do so.
