This is why I use an app called DVasive which tells me when my mic or camera is in use. It's pretty good at figuring this out it seems, although I haven't found any nefarious apps yet that use my mic or camera unexpectedly (I've been using the app for a couple of years). It probably wouldn't work for vendors or other rogue ways to get access to my phones devices however.
- cle 10y agoHow can you trust DVasive isn't itself malicious?
- trakout 10y agoIsn't DVasive software founded by John McAfee? I'd trust it based purely off his personality. He's kinda crazy (in a good or bad way, depends on who you are), and he'd probably make a lot of noise if he found out his app was malicious.
- _audakel 10y agoThats all is based on if he is somehow still involved with the technical details enough to figure it out. Most likely whoever put it in won't be talking about it to him.
- jameslk 10y agoIt doesn't require any device privileges, and I can tell it's working just by opening up my camera app or snapchat. Other than that, I don't know.
- dave2000 10y agoAnd that it actually works?
