Review which apps recently used sensitive permissions and connect access times to your actions.
Core ideas
Use these points to build an accurate technical model before changing the device.
- The dashboard helps review camera, microphone, location and other supported access.
- Expected access should match a feature you intentionally used.
- Unexpected timing is a reason to inspect settings, not automatic proof of malware.
Decision rule
Build a regular review habit instead of waiting until the phone feels suspicious.
Apply it on your phone
Record the device facts, source and expected result. Make one reversible change, observe the outcome, and keep the evidence needed to undo it.
