It is Facebook app again. It is one of the app that requires all special permissions from android to run, and now they have added one more permission, to access your microphone. Facebook app can now listen to your environment and understand what you have been listening to or watching to.
This is indeed caused a massive outcry from the community, but nevertheless Facebook added it, but Facebook says it still respect your privacy and doesn’t store the recorded audio in the servers, it just records and match the audio fingerprint so you can post it on Facebook only if you choose to.
For now this recording option is optional, you can disable it if you choose to. But it is not sure for how long this will stay optional.
