Your cell phone does not listen to you “by accident.” It's a feature, not a bug.
I talked about traveling to Rome just once and 10 minutes later I started getting flight ads.
It's called “Shadow-Logging” and it happens through 5 settings you've never touched.
Here's how to remove eavesdropping once and for all:
The illusion of silence
Most believe that “Hey Siri” or “OK Google” only work when you say the phrase.
The reality is different.
To detect the keyword, the device has to constantly analyze sound in a low power mode.
You cannot “wake up” if you are not listening first.
The ghost microphone
Have you ever seen an orange or green dot at the top of your screen?
This indicates that the microphone is active. The problem is that, by the time you see it, the audio fragment has already been processed... and sometimes sent.
