Google confirms WhatsApp bug mistaken for spying.

Google has fixed an Android bug that caused some WhatsApp users to receive erroneous privacy indicators and notifications, suggesting that the app was using the microphone without permission. The bug affected a limited number of users and did not result in any audio being recorded or sent through WhatsApp servers. Google addressed the issue in partnership with WhatsApp, and affected users should download the latest version of the messaging app to resolve the problem.
