Funny you should mention that.
Lately I’ve been watching videos of this guy that demonstrates how to turn off settings on android and Apple phones that spy on us.
By camera, microphone and even text and email......so far I think I’m up to around 8 settings I’ve turned off so far and he has more videos I haven’t gotten to yet.
The invasion of privacy embedded into cell phones really is criminal.

I absolutely agree. it should be criminal. It is not because of the agreement they make you agree to in order to even use the phone or app. If you want it to work at all you have to agree to let them spy on you. It is outright extortion. And I have saying it for years now. Turning off all those settings just makes you “think” you are safe from it. Google and Apple are STILL doing it no matter what your settings are.
There is no spying on an iPhone unless you turn on services that do that. Apple never “sells” your data, which Google does all the time because that is their business model. Apple sells phones with the promise of maintaining the users privacy, if the user wants that. Apple has gone to court against the US government to maintain this promise.
