It’s solid proof there always hearing us.

there was actually a study performed a few years ago that didn't find any evidence for several thousand tested apps to listen on you (some of the scummy ones were caught recording screens, on the other hand). also, the company mentioned in the posted article admits that their claims were exaggerated.
