Is there a physical way to deactivate the microphone (on my tablet, I never use it)?
- Xylakant 10y agoa thin, pointed device may do.
- Snortibartfast 10y agoThe destructive way: open up the unit and destroy the mic, either by prying it loose from the pcb, or just smashing it if it's too integrated. On my Fairphone I think it was a small metal box with a little hole on top.
- dEnigma 10y agoThe top answer to this question[1] has a few suggestions. The dummy plug idea is interesting, although it doesn't actually physically disable the microphone.
