    Got a new Android phone recently, and there is now a setting to block mic and camera (one for each) at the OS. Not sure how much I trust it, but I would think this is related to these kinds of app permissions running wild.

      some version of this has been a thing for ages. What almost everyone is saying and implying is that they don't work or are being bypassed. Not sure if I believe that, but phones are literally built to spy on us so it's happening one way or another
