Did my iPhone's camera record a video by itself and saved it somewhere?

The other day I pressed record on my phone (iPhone 4s) and video recorded something. But apparently the whole time I thought it was recording, it was actually not and when I pressed the stop button is when it actually started. Nothing i recorded was saved. But now that I think about it, there are many apps on our phones that turn on our cameras and microphones without our permission or knowledge. Sometimes it's just the phone, not even an app. So I guess my questions is, is there any chance that my little video was recorded and saved somewhere where I can find it? Even when I was not recording, was my camera recording everything since it was open? I know I'm probably stretching it far but there's nothing wrong in trying.

Unless your phone is jailbroken, it is extremely unlikely a third party app has taken a video without your permission.

  • What is the best bang for your buck video camera for retro style filming at 24 fps, 4K resolution, and no camera judder? Below $1,250? I use an anamorphic adapter lens for an iPhone 6s Plus(+filmic pro) and while the footage is 10 times better than basic iPhone footage, I can't help but notice the jerkiness of edged objects at 24 frames even when I'm holding the phone as still as I can. I've experimented with different frames, shutter speeds, ISO

  • My iPhone 4s' brightness is turning itself low by itself? - 1 How do I fix this? Is it a bug? I have the iOS 6.1.3 installed. I did drop it in water like 2 weeks ago but I made sure all the water came out, my step mom dropped her phone in the toilet like a year ago and till this day it works perfectly fine! So why is mine having problems?
  • Is there somewhere I can go to hold/ use an iPhone 4 and iPhone 5? I'm thinking about getting my first iPhone. I've had an iPad 2 so I know what to expect. I have medium-medium-large thumbs and want to know what the keypad is going to be like if I get an iPhone 4/ 5.Is there anywhere I can go that has the iPhone 4 (or 4s) and iPhone 5 on display that I can hold? I know in Walmart, they have cameras on metal cords you can hold… With they whole keyboard size thing, you can still do landscape typing I think? So that'd be different.
