Me too. I sleep with my phone on airplane mode typically and I have woken up and checked the time and seen the camera indicator on for no reason. It’s quite disconcerting.
I find this happening on iOS and it makes me put my phone down in a visually obstructive spot more since I’m not into my camera being active when I didn’t ask it to be. Unfortunately, the more you learn and live, the more you realize the paranoid delusions people used to call “crazy schizo shit” are actually probably true… to varying degrees of course.
iOS sends, what, 11MB of telemetry a day on average? Surely that can include audio and video compressed with those overpowered CPUs it runs on.

That’s one of my biggest peeves. Pre-surveilance economy, the crazies really were paranoid. There were not cameras in their walls! Then, the whole ass world went, “Hey! What if we make their paranoia into actual reality?” Now, here we are. Maybe not cameras in the walls, but in every other damn thing. Your vacuum? Check. Your car? Check. Kids toys? Check. Sunglasses? Check.
That’s made it harder to tell the diff between ppl who are actually paranoid (“vaccines are implanting Bill Gates tracking chips in your veins bro!”) and those who aren’t, but hate commercial surveilence. Plus, those who hate it, sound almost like an oldschool paranoid, to anyone who doesn’t pay attention to know how pervasive it is now.

It’s a fucked timeline, I’ll tell ya what.
