There is no privacy on an iPhone. The software is controlled by Apple. You basically don't own your device. All the toggles and different modes are cute, but mean nothing to Apple. They are like the buttons at the pedestrian crossing: you can hit it to make yourself feel good, but they'll keep doing what they do regardless of you hitting it or not.
It's not what you want to hear, but it's the reality of it.
