Microphone Blocker - Anti Spy
How does the app-by-app microphone control work?
Microphone Blocker gives you a list of all your installed apps with toggle switches, so you can individually block or allow microphone access. You can keep essential apps like messaging or recording tools enabled while blocking everything else, like social media or games.
Is there a way to quickly block the microphone without opening the app?
Yes, you can add a widget to your home screen for one-tap blocking. Tapping the big red button in the app also instantly disables the mic system-wide, with a clear confirmation message.
Why do some apps fail silently when the microphone is blocked?
When the microphone is blocked, apps that try to use it won't get a warning—they'll just fail silently, like a voice note app not recording. This is a good reminder to toggle the block off before using apps that need the mic.
I granted accessibility permission but the block isn't working for all apps. What should I do?
Make sure the accessibility service for Microphone Blocker is enabled in your phone's settings. If it's turned off, the app can't enforce the block system-wide. Restarting the app after granting permission usually resolves the issue.
How does Microphone Blocker compare to other privacy apps like Bouncer?
Unlike Bouncer, which temporarily grants permissions and then revokes them, Microphone Blocker gives you a persistent on/off switch and a live activity log that shows when apps try to access the mic. It's simpler for people who want a constant block rather than managing temporary permissions.
