And expand that "feature" in the future.

>They are scanning photos chosen for upload

That's pretty much scanning on the device.

Yes, scanning is happening on the device. Apple markets that as a feature.

That is different from scanning the device. Saying they are ‘scanning the device’ is a lie.

Yes, Apple could scan the device in future. It’s still a lie to say they are doing it now.

They want to expand that "feature" to 3rd party apps too.

The Q&A mentioned has no date or time. No Apple Spokespeople are named. There are no actual quotes. No well known news outlets have mentioned this very consequential detail.

This has all the indicators of a fake.

That link contains nothing at all about expanding to include 3rd party apps.

Were you aware of that when you posted it?

Re:Apple Regrets Confusion over 'iPhone Scanning' by zekrioca on Saturday August 14, 2021 @12:55AM (#28178072)
They didn’t deny either.

I asked where they said it, and you posted the link in response knowing that it didn’t answer the question. Another dishonest move.
