Lots of folks do exactly the same. And yet, do you have a Smart Phone?
Turning it completely off is the only way to safely avoid its recording your at home conversation.
This is true. You can have your phone on silent, sitting on the coffee table across the room from you, and can talk about wanting a new couch with a friend, and next thing you know, you’re shown ads for couches. Happened to me.

Not quite. The feds can have your phone turned on remotely and listen in with a warrant. You have to pull the battery and that ain’t easy anymore. And don’t forget the phone in your car.
Of course, if the feds are THAT interested in your goings-on then you probably have bigger problems....
That's not going to always work. Either put it in a shielding bag, or get an old one with a removable battery. That's why they won't sell new phones with removable batteries.
