[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Always turn your phone/devices off when having sensitive conversations in person. [/quote]

Turning it off doesn't stop the mic, camera, gps, triangulation pings, etc. from working.

Removing the battery on some stops it, though others have two batteries and many new phones now don't allow easy battery removal. Also, when you reinsert the battery, AI is able to approximate location, etc. if it was moved during the no battery phase and also creates "pattern" files among other things.

It's not just phones. Most all appliances, vehicles, even many tools/toys, etc. now have microphones, cameras, etc. [/quote]

How does turning it off still let the mic work and record i dont get it.[/quote]

Because it’s not off, the screen is just black and the buttons don’t work, other than power on. I hate iPhones for that reason, no removable battery. There are lots of devices that you can’t turn off though, like my Roku. I just unplug the power when I’m done with it. [/quote]
