I found that whenever someone is speaking or any sound is playing near my phone microphone is used by Samsung apps. Why?

Dear Samsung member,

Greetings from Samsung customer support.

Thank you for sharing your concern. We acknowledge your query and apologize for the same. And please follow the easy troubleshooting steps which might help to solve the issue.

Samsung has automated this process with a tool called the App Permission Monitor, which notifies you if any apps use permission that’s especially important or outside their normal operating range.


To turn off this feature, you can easily control turn off/on the app, and you can choose which app you want to be monitored.

open settings > lock screen and security > app permission monitor.

In case the issue still occurs. Please register your concern in Samsung Members Application (Open Samsung Members Application > Get help > Send Feedback >Ask question).

Thank you for writing to Samsung.

Warm Regards,
Samsung Customer Support
