And Control Center shows you when an app has recently used the microphone or camera. In iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 or later, when an app uses the microphone or camera, your device displays an indicator to let you know it is being used –– whether you are in the app, in another app, or on the Home Screen. No app can access the microphone or camera without your permission.

iOS and iPadOS require developers to get your permission before tracking you or your device across apps and websites owned by other companies for ad targeting, for ad measurement purposes, or to share your data with data brokers. Even if you grant access once, you can always change it later in Settings. You’ll receive a prompt with an explanation the first time a third-party app wants to use this data, so you can make an informed decision about granting permission. Apps may request access to things such as your location, contacts, calendars, or photos. Apple gives you transparency and control over the data you share with apps.
