There used to be some application named vigilante that had alert when microphone or camera was activated. Then it’s dev stopped updating it and that was that.
I know android should show some small icon when camera or mic is active, but that doesnt help me if i’m not actively looking at the screen at the time.
Do you know of anything that could still do what vigilante did? I’d prefer to know if something was trying to be sneaky. Or is it pointless even trying to do that due to something?
In combination with tracker control, you can see who they connect to and block piecemeal, or simply block their connection completely (you don’t need an app for that, though).
unfortunately tracker control cant be on while rethink is on or vice versa. I have also noticed that you shouldnt trust the system to block anything. Even if you forbid datausage for something, its not trruly blocked. Also google cant be blocked by system at all, but rethink can do that too, though then you need to manage the settings every time you want to use google’s services but it doesnt seem to cause any awful problems in general. That program is one of the best things i have found for a while.
