My phone has taken to answering questions I haven't asked. Out loud.

I'll be minding my own business, reading a magazine & suddenly hear "Yes!"

Who tf is it talking to?

@BrazenlyLiberal Disable microphone & camera access for every app that doesn't need it, and only allow it for the rest while the app is running.
Disable Siri, Cortana, or Hey Google entirely.

@fuy hey, thanks! My default is to only allow necessary permissions and even those are permitted only when using the app.

But I just checked anyway and you're absolutely right. "Bixby" had somehow acquired all the permissions necessary to live my life for me 🤬🤬 I never even use the damn thing!

Thanks again. After this, I'll make sure to periodically run a check.
