By going to a specific URL in Safari, users could enable the use of the iPhone’s volume buttons as the camera flash. Apple caught wind of it, and now the app is no longer available. Other developers have been banned for awhile for such unauthorized features, so it’ll be interesting to see what happens to TapTapTap.
