So as you may know, i’m an iPhone user and a hater of Google. Recenly, it has came to my attention that i am somehow being spied on, as this has been appearing lately every single day:

Now i did not open the camera at all, and somehow it’s saying that’s being used.

Not only that, but basically i had a qr code saved in my camera roll. Every time someone scans it, i get a notification. However, randomly at 12 am, somehow i got a notification saying that someone scanned it. The QR code was not shared anywhere or posted, and the phone was offline at that time too. Now i think that its probably the time to switch from iOS to android.

Why is android superior then iOS, why, and how is it safer then iOS and what phone should i buy? (no pixel tho)

    Have you tried wiping the phone and being careful about what apps you install?

    The camera specifically says it was accessed by the camera app which seems perfectly normal. The microphone being unknown is odd.

    You can’t get notifications while offline, so that sounds more like a bug of some kind in an app you have installed maybe?
