Speaker phone s23 ultra

[AnandaSpinks]

Anyone know why speaker phone is repeatedly showing as active even when NOT on call or video chat? Started this morning when I turned phone on and I can't seem to turn it off!! Have I been hacked? Is someone listening in unauthorised? How do I change this?

Do you know that Google and other apps have microphone options like they and other apps ask for microphone access when it's like a game of galaxy star, I had to go through apps to see what access they had, but if you know this then I'm not sure, I'd reset settings not a reboot just switch it off try again..🙏

You just go though your permissions and toggle off who you don't want to use the microphone etc

I've been through all apps and checked microphone permissions. All are off bar a few such as phone, WhatsApp, messenger which are permitted when using app. I've done a restart. Phone still shows microphone active!!! Looks like I may need to do a reset. There was an update yesterday, could this have created the problem?

Microphone access was already set to while using apps only. Most are off anyway.

Did that when I set up phone originally.

What happens when you click on the active mic icon

Didn't do anything. I seem to have fixed it for now at least with a reset. Thank you everyone for your suggestions and help. Xx
