Instagram uses camera as soon as you open the app, as it's a relatively slow process to fully load the camera and make it fully usable in a way Instagram devs intended to.
They've admitted it themselves. Not sure about microphones.
- threeseed 4y agoWrong. On iOS there is an orange/green dot in the menu bar that indicates when the microphone or camera are in active use. The dot appears when you try and use say the Live feature but at all other times it does not appear. My point still stands that unless apps have compromised iOS/OSX it is NOT true to say that the camera/microphone are always on.
