Comment on Facebook app listens in the background for targeting adsparent

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.
