Just a reminder to treat your phone (and any other tech with mics/cameras) as if it's constantly recording everything around it. Cops in Canada also have the ability to remotely access these surveillance devices and they do use it. So never bring your phone to protests/demonstrations/civil unrest. If you must you should pick up a burner, preferably with cash, and keep the battery out unless you're actively using it.
Even with the main battery removed it is logging location data. Wouldn't be surprised if there are methods of using them as a passive bug like the soviets did with that "gift" to the US embassy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(listening_device)

Would a faraday bag work for that sort of thing? I don't think it would be able to know its location if it's in one of those.
I was wondering about that too. IDK, do those things really work?
