Hey all, probably better places to ask this but you all know everything. I got a oneplus 10 pro, and it has a very faint microphone icon in the top right. It’s not there all the time, but I’ve noticed it with firefox, and a few other apps.

I messed around with the mic permissions but nothing seemed to get rid of it.

What is it, and how do I make it not there?

    Not everyone has the money for an iPhone, or is willing to deal with the walled garden that Apple products are. “Buy a new phone” is also just a really terrible response to someone asking for help.

        Meh, it’s just a fact that some people have better things to spend their money on. And Android phones work well for many users. The user experience is less streamlined, but they have a lot more to offer in terms of control and customization (custom ROMs, launchers, sideloading, rooting, etc). I say this as someone who has extensively used both.
