The Facebook app asks for permission to access your camera and microphone. Assuming a user gives it access, doesn't that mean they have free rein to do so?
IIUC, apps that use the microphone in iOS make a red bar appear at the top (as if you were in a phone call) when you’re not in the app. For this not to be the case with Messenger, Apple would have to collude with Facebook.

Doesn’t seem likely unless Apple is working with Facebook to surreptitiously activate your microphone, which is highly unlikely.
