      If the cell connection and/or WiFi is active, it uploads. If you’ve disconnected your cell connection because you’re at a protest, maybe. 🤷‍♂️

        So you’re telling me that if someone breaks your phone during a video recording or stop and delete the recording, they can just find this video on their cloud service? I genuinely didn’t know.

          Depends on how damaged the phone is after stopping the recording. Modern phones are fairly tough. Stepping on it might break the screen, but the inner workings would likely still function for example. Simply knocking it out of someone’s hand isn’t going to have any effect at all.

          I think the ACLU, EFF, and some other orgs also have apps that similarly automatically upload footage, but regrettably I don’t have any links.
