Remember that you should not use third-party applications such as WhatsApp Plus since they may have access not only to your conversations, but also to what you send in your voice notes, since they are not protected with end-to-end privacy.
How to prevent Google from spying on your WhatsApp
- The first thing you should do on your Android phone is go to Settings.
- Then go to Applications and there look for WhatsApp.
- At that time you will observe the permissions.
- Disable Google or your Android phone from being able to access your WhatsApp microphone.
- In this way you will avoid that, if you send a voice note, it is not stored in your cloud.
- In the case of iPhones, just go to Settings and then to WhatsApp.
- From there go to Permissions and disable the microphone.
- When you want to use voice notes or record audio on WhatsApp, you will have to give it permission or not again.
- The best thing will be to put “Always ask”
