Comment on Hundreds of smartphone apps are monitoring users through their microphones
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day agoA little pop up comes up saying something about “getting the most out of your phone” with the option to turn the mic on for the app that’s requesting it (phone app). Only turns on for the call. Just gotta tap the screen once.

It works great for me. I’m using a Pixel with stock Android, so I can only speak to how it behaves on my phone. I know sometimes carriers add/change shit.

I did this but stopped because if I pick up the phone locked, I have to unlock it to turn mic on and answer the call.
