I can see "Messenger" and "Instagram" with access to microphone.
- jonchang 9y agoInstagram can record video posts and Messenger can make video calls, both requiring microphone access. In either case the recording is obvious with a red bar for microphone access in the background, like all other iOS apps.
- ggreer 9y agoThose apps have voice and video features, so it makes sense that they'd request microphone access. (And iOS lets you disable those specific features if you want.) iOS also shows an indicator if an app is using the microphone. This is true even for built-in Apple apps like Voice Memos. There's no way to surreptitiously record.
- thisacctforreal 9y agoThis indicator only shows while the app using the mic is in the background. The banner won’t show if the app using the mic is in the foreground.
