    One of few good aspects about it, but only if you don’t think about it too much. The question remains is if you can actually trust this, because there is no physical button disconnecting microphone and camera. It’s all just in software and could be unsafe.

      That’s the case for every phone except that one model with hardware switches

        You can make the camera blind with a sticker or one of those slidey cover things, although it’s much more annoying since that fad of cut outs for cameras has started.

        Also, like I said in the other comment, my phone isn’t attached to my chest like a body cam and constantly in a position to film everything in the room. If the NSA wants to see my feet, the ceiling or my face, they are free to do so.

        Sure, but at least my phone doesn’t have a wide-angle lens that could be constantly filming everything, because it’s attached to my chest.
