Full Narrative

In summer 2024, while conducting an in-depth analysis of my phone I noticed that the Memo and Recording app had been used. I had not used that app for at least 6 months and was unfamiliar with it. I immediately deleted that app and never used it again on that phone. Someone had activated recording capabilities on my device without my knowledge.
