Stop Facebook Listening To You Now

by | Sep 17, 2020 | Security, Tip

Hi Guys,

Follow these steps to prevent Facebook from being able to access your microphone when you are not using it.

For iPhone

  • Open the Settings app.
  • Then, scroll down and tap Facebook.
  • Toggle the green switch next to Microphone to the off position.

For Android

  • Open the Settings app.
  • Then, scroll down and tap Personal.
  • Tap Privacy and safety, followed by App Permissions.
  • Tap Microphone and locate Facebook.
  • Toggle the slider to the off position.

When you want Facebook to be able to use your mic again you can simply go back and reverse the above steps.

Please let me know if you need any assistance with this or with anything else.

Thanks
