    It is pretty easy to verify whether you’ve granted Microphone access to Facebook. If you have, revoke it.

      The problem with closed source apps is you don’t know what else is going on in the background and what else it might have installed or connected to, unless you have debug logs for everything it did and know how to interpret all of that. I wouldn’t install any app from the facebook company on any device I use

        I’m pretty sure that iPhone have the same security but on Android, apps cannot install other apps. When you think about it that would be a pretty basic security vulnerability so it’s not that surprising that it’s blocked.

      It’s not Facebook though, it’s just used in the clickbait headline as an advertising partner of the actual company the story is about.

      But if you need to revoke the microphone permission from the Facebook app then something is wrong anyway, because it means you have the Facebook app installed for some reason.
