Yeh ~ probably not?
Well I have been reading a lot of very convincing observations
that Facebook/Instagram and WhatsApp may be able to
eavesdrop on conversations and tailor ads back through
these sites.
Even though I may be sceptical ~ I still switched "off"
my microphone.

Thanks for the post @anticpated
Having been a victim of a major hack through my isp ~
With my Mobile Phone & PC ~ I am cautious get rid of apps rather than put them on
never use social media and stay with the ordinary communication where possible.
Free this and Free that always has it's downsides and could be devastating.

Thank you for your post and Well done ~ I expect this keeps you safe because it is not awake all the time like mine ~ and I am a bit lazy. I must get more tech savvy though in the meantime everything is manual.

Why worry about the phone? Every time you step foot out of the house you ate tracked every step of the way, any establishment you enter, be it a shop, store or medical centre you are on camera .
Why do you think footballers on TV place their hand over their mouths when speaking to one another? People are monitoring conversations, your location can be found by your phone signal. Despite all the furor over websites and data collection, do you think your information is safe??
I long since gave up worrying about this. Hospitals have all your medical history. Secure? You would like to think so but don't be naive. Companies like O2 share info with so called trusted partners who sell that info on to the World and its mother.
I no longer care if the FBI, CIA or MI6 is listening via my phone. This is the world we made and now we live with the consequences!

If we spent our lives worrying about this sort of thing we may as well dig ourselves a bunker and never come out.
I'm sure I could still be tracked in there, so no point.
