Any phone that shows the screen or increases the backlight when you look at it is doing this. Plenty of android phones will increase the backlight so you can see the time and notifications when you look at the screen.
This can be turned off in iOS. Not sure about android. Someone else may know.
I dont think that's completely accurate, I just did a dive on the phone sensors.
The automatic backlight adjustment uses a photodiode. A camera photodiode doesn't need to blast out IR for luminosity information. Infact the photodiode actually has to FILTER OUT IR frequencies (from the sun or light bulbs) to give an accurate luminosity measurement since the human eye can't detect the IR waves.
It's the proximity sensor that uses an infrared LED and an IR light detector. The LED shines invisible light at objects and gets reflected back to the sensor for object distance calculations. It's used to turn off the display and touch controller if you are holding up a phone to your ear for a phone call, or if it's in your pocket.
It means a woman with a lippy vagina that resembles a roast beef sandwich when viewed in certain configurations. The lore surrounding the derogatory term "roastie" implies that sleeping around has resulted in the fore-mentioned state.
I wasn’t referring to the automatic backlight feature that most devices have to dim in bright surroundings or brighten in dark surroundings, but a feature that turns ON the backlight (from being off in its resting mode) when the user looks at the screen.
But yes, it makes sense that this would be specifically for proximity, because to determine the direction of the face, I’m sure it just uses the actual camera lense.

Agreed. I have trouble trusting tech advice from some roastie who cares so little about privacy that she have tic tok installed on her phone.

You asked.
Edit:- Well you didn't ask but now you know.

Mine doesnt.
