      A quick thread. This article has been freaking people — https://www.vice.com/en_au/article/wjbzzy/your-phone-is-listening-and-its-not-paranoia … — and I understand why, because in 2018 it seems any horrible thing is possible. But I'm going to officially call bullhonkey on the basics, and here's why.

      The author confirmed to me via DM that he was doing his test on an iPhone. He'd talk towards the phone, without launching any app, and saw his ads change. BUT: on iOS, any app recording you in the background triggers a giant red symbol to appear in the upper-left corner!pic.twitter.com/eWIwC2pVcp

      A screenshot of the iOS home screen with a red "recording" indicator in the upper left.

      In other words, if you're using iOS, YOU WILL KNOW if an app is recording your audio secretly on your phone. If Facebook was doing this, the corner of your phone would be red 24/7. There's no way around it. (Except maybe if your phone is jailbroken.)

      Cabel Retweeted Peter Hannay

      And the supporting research in the article from Dr. Peter Hannay that seems to confirm what happened? Peter tells me he was only doing tests with Android devices. 😔 (Once again: the author was using an iPhone.)https://twitter.com/peter_hannay/status/1006403724346998784 …

      Cabel added,

      Hey there! I made no claims regarding iOS, my testing was based on Android devices. Sorry I can't help when it comes to iOS gear :(

      So what happened to the author? Don't know. I'm sure he's not being deceitful, so it could be as simple as correlation not equalling causation. But I do know this: what's described isn't possible. No app on your iPhone is recording you secretly without you being aware of it.
