&lt;Facebook says explicitly on its help pages that it doesn’t record conversations, but that it does use the audio to identify what is happening around the phone.&gt;<p>Well, <i>that&#x27;s</i> comforting.<p>&lt;Turning off the microphone in a phone’s settings is relatively easy&gt;<p>Really? Turning off the mic for Facebook (or even globally to apps) without making it useless is &quot;relatively easy?&quot; Somebody, please point out to me this feature on Android.
