Full description
🔒 Mic Guard – Microphone Protection Mic Guard helps protect your privacy by preventing unauthorized microphone access in the background. When enabled, Mic Guard safely reserves your microphone using Android’s official audio system. This prevents other apps from secretly recording audio without your knowledge. 🛡 How It Works Mic Guard uses a foreground service and audio reservation method to keep the microphone occupied. ✔ No root required ✔ No invasive permissions ✔ No hidden tricks ✔ Fully compliant with Android system policies If a phone call or VoIP app needs the microphone, Mic Guard automatically detects it and allows communication to work normally. 🔍 App Permission Scanner Mic Guard includes a built-in scanner that shows: • Which apps request microphone access • Which apps currently have mic permission granted • Which apps also request internet access This helps you identify potential privacy risks. ⚡ Key Features • One-tap microphone protection • Live status notification • Call-safe detection • Risk visibility for installed apps • Lightweight and battery-friendly 📌 Important Mic Guard does not hack, block, or modify other apps. It simply reserves the microphone using Android’s standard APIs. Designed for users who value privacy and transparency.

What's new

What’s New • Improved microphone app scan accuracy • Better system app detection in scan results • Clearer status indicators and schedule diagnostics • Improved guidance around microphone reservation and call limitations • General polish and reliability improvements
