A man is going viral on TikTok after making the bold claim that iPhone users can track who misses them. there’s an iPhone hack available to let users see who’s looking at old pictures of you or re-reading your text exchanges. Apparently If you have the little photo widget, then they will pop up. That means they’ve been looking at your stuff.
Apple has enabled new widgets that can be used on the home screen of iPhones and iPads. Apple users can customize the look of their home screens with hundreds of options to choose from. But one popular widget is the Photos one, which displays pictures from your library onto your home screen.
So, the photos you see daily don’t provide any information about who’s re-reading your messages or staring at your old pictures. The widget simply displays a recent photo from your photo album and is not meant to reveal anything specific.
In the comments section, several users suggested that they believed his Apple “hack” was true despite there being no available evidence that it’s true, some even claimed to see picture updates of deceased loved ones.
A user who previously worked with apple products had their own guess as to whether or not this is true and they claim photos in the widget are randomly selected.
