Evidence of voice collection and data transmission. Just hook it up to wireshark and test. It’s been done and zero evidence produced. Not trivial to hide. Neither in traffic or battery use .
Why would they need to do it anyway? Far easier to just use the telemetry already there. Your phone knows more about you than you think already if you don’t use privacy respecting software. No need to use the microphone.
But if you know something none from the security field does, I’m all for seeing some evidence.
Nevermind the why (I’m not entirely convinced it’s being done), I want to know what exactly would be seen in network traffic.
Ok, you said “voice collection” which I’ll assume is audio recording and then uploading to some server. That’s an astonishingly bonkers and inefficient way of doing it. You run a very small model (using something like Tflite) that’s trained against a few hundred keyboards (brand names, products, or product category) and run it on the background of your service. Phones already do essentially this with assistant activation listening. Then once a few hours of listening, compress the plain text detection data (10 MB of plain text can be compressed to 1 MB) and then just upload the end result. And we wouldn’t be talking about megabytes, we’d be talking single digits kilobytes. An amount that wouldn’t even be a blip on wireshark, especially since phones are so exceedingly chatty nowadays. Have you actually tried to wireshark phone traffic? It’s just constant noise.
It’s entirely possible to do. But that doesn’t mean that it is being done.
Lol. Yea whatever , would cost trillions. Just because you dont understand something dosnt make you right. Your entire argument is shattered in the link I provided you.
Also there is a teapot in orbit around jupiter. Prove me wrong.
No they dont , they dont have to. Far easier to get things other ways.
Yes, but also no. You’re underestimating advertisers’ greed for data.
It’s actually trivial nowadays to build a background service like that.
Which would show up in network traffic , which it doesnt. There is no need for it.
Ok, real question: what exactly would show up in network traffic?

Btw independent aricle from 2008 heres something a decade fresher https://www.androidauthority.com/your-phone-is-not-listening-to-you-884028/
