Do not really understand how Android sandboxing works for system apps.

    You can’t disable location permission for google services, so that’s obvious. But microphone/camera permissions can be disabled, that’s why I’m wondering.

      You can even turn off sensors in Androids developer options, but your dialer app for example will still be able to use your microphone

      As long as the hardware isn’t physically disconnected, you kinda have to assume it can be used and abused.
