I still think it’s bogus unless I see clear proof of it. That would imply your Instagram app somehow needs to bypass the kernel which let’s the system know when the microphone is being used (some OS let’s you know when mic or app is accessed real-time). That seems like an awfully open backdoor to microphone access.
Go try it out and let me know your results. Just for context I’m using GrapheneOS. And yeah I know some hardware backdoor would seem paranoid but consider the reach of said company.
I have, repeatedly, because it’s not the first time I hear of this, only once did something similar to what I was saying appeared. Sounds like a coincidence to me.
