Rogue apps sometimes masquerade as utilities and may misuse the permissions you granted them to secretly snoop on your data.
Smartphone manufacturers, as well as Google, have grown wary of the issue. Every time an app uses the camera, microphone, or the location in the background on Android 9 Pie and upwards, you get a notification.
Xiaomi has also added visual cues in MIUI 12 and so has Apple with iOS 14 to alert users every time an app accesses some features in the background.
