Google has confirmed that a new bug in Privacy Dashboard has affected WhatsApp. This bug caused wrong notifications to be sent by WhatsApp for using the microphone. Google has said that you need to update WhatsApp to fix this issue.
The existence of a bug in the Privacy Dashboard has caused your Android phone to mistakenly send you a notification of the use of the microphone by WhatsApp, and therefore you may think that WhatsApp is listening to you.
Last month, a Twitter user named Foad Dabiri revealed that his phone’s Privacy Dashboard showed that WhatsApp was regularly using the microphone. As you know, Privacy Dashboard allows you to know when apps are using your phone’s permissions.
In response to this issue, WhatsApp said that the mentioned problem was caused by an Android bug, and now Google has also confirmed this issue. Users can fix this problem by updating their WhatsApp application.
WhatsApp has recently released many features for its platform, including the ability to silence unknown calls and a new Privacy Checkup feature. Now, if you intend to use these features, you can update your WhatsApp.
