To support his statement, Musk shared a screenshot of an Android dashboard displaying WhatsApp running in the background and accessing the device's microphone between the hours of 4:20 am and 6:53 am. The tweet was originally posted by Foad Dabiri, a Twitter engineer, who expressed surprise at discovering WhatsApp's microphone usage while he was asleep and after waking up at 6 am.
The tweet gained significant traction, prompting WhatsApp to respond by stating that they had reached out to Google to initiate an investigation into the matter. Google, in turn, confirmed the presence of a bug in the Android operating system that was causing incorrect privacy indicators and notifications on the privacy dashboard specifically for WhatsApp users. A spokesperson from Google acknowledged the bug and emphasized that they are actively working on developing a solution to address this issue and safeguard user privacy.
It is crucial to highlight that the problem appears to stem from an Android bug rather than deliberate espionage by WhatsApp. Both WhatsApp and Google are taking the matter seriously and are dedicated to resolving the bug promptly to ensure the privacy and security of their users' personal information.
