The smartphone collects a lot of useful information about the user for advertisers.

One of the ways to collect information is "wiretapping".

Attentive users have noticed that after discussing a certain product on the phone or next to it on the Internet, an advertisement on this topic appears.

Commercial companies use information from mobile applications to collect data, Roskachestvo reports.

Applications, having access to various information, collect all sorts of data about the user. Search history and locations already provide a huge amount of information.

If an application has access to the device's microphone, it can effectively listen to the user.

But you can get rid of wiretapping. There is no need to contact specialists for this. You just need to go to the settings and restrict applications access to the microphone.

Voice assistants should also be turned off if they are not used on a regular basis. This will help defeat wiretapping and get rid of interference in your private life.
