It’s no secret that almost any user today can be easily tracked using his smartphone. You can try to avoid surveillance with a hidden menu for developers and just one button.

In order to avoid being tracked via camera and microphone:

  1. open your phone’s settings and go to “Developer Options.” If you don’t have them enabled, the instructions for activating them are here.
  2. Tap “Developer Preferences Quick Tiles”. Activate the “Sensors off” option (forcibly turns off sensors on your smartphone).

After activating this feature, a new icon will appear in the Quick Access Toolbar. Now you will be able to forcibly turn off sensors with one touch when you enter any application and control access to the camera and microphone by yourself.

It is worth noting that the inclusion of the function does not affect the disabling of sensors such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and also does not affect mobile networks, which allows you to continue to use the device on the Internet without restrictions.
