That was one of the famous lines from Sneakers (1992). Today, you may have devices and apps listening in on your passport. Voice assistants like Bixby, Siri, or Alexa may be doing it. Apple says Siri runs a speech recognizer at all times. “Hey Siri” or “OK Google” can start the recording. Apps may also be recording your voice.
Use these recommended steps to protect yourself.
1. Turn off Siri, Bixby, or Alexa.
2. Turn off your microphone by going to the settings for each app that may use your voice (or ambient sound!).
3. Use anti-malware software.
4. Use a VPN.
Anti-virus software may help you. Just like a VPN can.
