That's what makes cell phones creepy too.

If you pause and think about it, cell phones don't have in-series recording lights on either front or rear or side or underside cameras.

Few people think "cell phone out" = "camera on" unless somebody is holding the phone "as a camera." It's easy to hack how you hold a phone to get around that.




The argument for switching to a soft-phone only on a laptop looks even stronger now compared to the liability of tracking and interception of cell phones. Convenience is the gotcha.
