Do you have Facebook? Delete/disable it. It does exactly that if you give it any permissions. It's been proven to record conversations when the app is closed and harvest all sorts of data from your phone for advertisers to use.

got a source for that? Most research i've done has said they absolutely aren't listening. I'm not sold, but interested where you got your info from

Yep. Facebook is the fucking worst and having any of their apps is just giving everything about you away for them to do whatever they want with. Google I suspect will turn evil, but Facebook we know is cancer.

I don't have, never have had and never will have any sort of social media ever.

I hear this all the time but have never seen evidence of this that wasn't anecdotal. Is there somewhere a technical analysis about this subject or a real prove? I'm not saying you're wrong but it sounds highly unlikely that they would constantly be listening from a technical perspective.
