A seemingly harmless notification could be a sign that your Android phone is being tracked and data collected without permission.

If you see a notification like “XYZ accessed the camera” without opening the app, your phone may be being tracked in the background. According to warnings from security experts at Cybernews, many Android apps are currently asking for access to cameras, microphones, and locations even though they are not necessary for their main functions.
This poses a risk of personal data being misused for advertising, behavioral analysis or other nefarious purposes. Samsung is developing a “Security Alert Center” feature on One UI 8 to control access in real-time.
The system will send an immediate warning when an app accesses sensitive permissions, even when running in the background. This is a huge step forward from the privacy dashboard, which only shows data after it has been collected. Not only Android, iOS is also accused of collecting widespread data to build user behavior profiles.
While waiting for the operating system to improve security, users should equip themselves with the skills to detect unusual applications. xemptyz Dear readers, please watch more videos : The "borrowing face" trick of the gambling and money laundering ring worth thousands of billions of dong | VTV24
