New Delhi. You must have heard that Google and Facebook keep a notice on everything we do. That’s why if you search anything, then it starts showing you about it on Facebook and Google. Only things related to that thing start showing on your Facebook. Now such news is coming that WhatsApp also does the same. However, let us tell you that Facebook claims to us that it gives us end to end service which means that any message or anything that you are sending can only be seen there and no one else. This message is with the sender and the receiver, the rest cannot be read by any third person. Now in such a situation a person says that whatsapp also reads our chats.
WhatsApp has been using the microphone in the background, while I was asleep and since I woke up at 6AM (and that’s just a part of the timeline!) What’s going on? pic.twitter.com/pNIfe4VlHV

Over the last 24 hours we’ve been in touch with a Twitter engineer who posted an issue with his Pixel phone and WhatsApp.
We believe this is a bug on Android that mis-attributes information in their Privacy Dashboard and have asked Google to investigate and remediate. https://t.co/MnBi3qE6Gp

WhatsApp has responded to this post by foad dabiri and he wrote that over the past 24 hours we have been in contact with a Twitter engineer who posted an issue with his Pixel phone and WhatsApp. We believe this is a bug on Android that misrepresents information in its Privacy Dashboard and have asked Google to investigate and fix it. The company says that privacy and security are in their DNA, they provide end to end facility to WhatsApp users. However, the company also gives the option to remove the microphone, for this you have to go to the settings and remove the permission from the microphone.
