Unidentified Microphone Use

An app accessed my microphone for a whole 15 seconds & my phone could not identify the which app did so...should I be concerned? Am I the only one? System services access maybe?

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 14

Hello jeigh_wabantu,

We understand that there's an unknown app that accessed your microphone. Were you using an app at that time? Are all of your apps currently updated? You can learn more about privacy and Location Services in iOS and iPadOS and also see which apps have access to your microphone as well. Do you notice any that look unfamiliar?

Take care
