Your iPhone can record audio and video without you knowing it. The iPhone has a built-in microphone and a camera that can record video and audio, even when the phone is locked or when the camera is off. You can also enable “Hey Siri” voice control and have the iPhone record audio or video when you say “record” or “take a picture.”
To enable recording, go to the “Settings” screen on your iPhone and scroll down to the “Privacy” section. Under “How do you want people to contact you?” you’ll see “Send Recordings” and “Send Photos.” To enable recording, you’ll need to turn on “Send Recordings.” You can also enable “Send Photos” if you want the iPhone to automatically send photos and videos when it records audio or video.
If you want to stop recording, you can tap on the “Recordings” button and then tap on the “Stop” button. To disable “Hey Siri” voice control and stop the iPhone from recording audio or video when you say “record” or “take a picture,” you’ll need to go to the “Settings” screen and turn off “Send Recordings” and “Send Photos.”
Here’s what matters
Most people think that their phone cannot record them without their knowledge. However, there are some phones that can do this. Some phones, like the iPhone, can even keep a record of the conversations that you have without you knowing. This can be very helpful if you need to prove something, or if you just want to remember what was said. However, be aware that not all phones can do this, and it might not be legal to do so in some cases.

Can My Iphone Camera Spy on Me
Apple denies using iPhone microphones or cameras to spy on users, but this is cold comfort for those who worry about their privacy when they have an iPhone in the room with them. The good news is, you’re not totally helpless when it comes to protecting your data.
One way to protect your data is to configure your iPhone in such a way that it doesn’t allow camera or microphone access by anyone but you. You can do this by going to Settings -> Privacy -> Camera and Photos -> Camera Restrictions -> Add New. You’ll then be able to enter a name for the restriction and choose whether to allow photos and videos to be taken or recorded, as well as whether to allow access to the microphone.
Another way to protect your data is to never put your iPhone in a position where it can be accessed by others. If you’re worried about someone spying on you through your iPhone, you can install a security app like LastPass or KeepSafe that will encrypt your data and keep it safe.

If you want to disable this feature for a particular app, you can go to that app’s settings and disable the use of the camera and microphone.
How Do You Find Out What App Is Recording You
Some apps on your phone may have asked permission to access your microphone. If so, you’ll see a list of these apps on the Privacy screen of the Settings app. Switches beside these apps let you allow or deny access. If you deny access to an app, it won’t be able to use your microphone.
