Your iPhone will be able to combine movement data with microphone data to spy on you
Apple has just patented a system that facilitates spying on mobile phones. It records the movements you make while pronouncing certain words or placing orders on your smartphone, so you can specify what you want when you move a way. This means that your iPhone, or any mobile that uses it, can spy on you without you saying a word.
The announcement was made on August 3 Apple patented the system, registration number US2023/0245657 AP and titled “Keyworking Detection Using Motion Sensors”.. This system can spy on you using the mechanisms of iOS and know what you always want, but how will it do it?
Combine data from microphones and motion sensors
It collects data from motion sensors, microphones, and then combines them. For example, when a person says “Hey, Siri. Play a happy song,” the request is recorded at the same time as how the person moves while doing it: if they move their wrist, if they move to the side, all the movements.. Both data are then combined, so Apple will know that if you gesture in a certain way, it’s because you’ve requested something specific from your mobile.
for this Using the internal accelerometer and gyroscope, it is able to calculate and record the movements you make. Body language was not so important, but in addition to all this, most people use their mobile phones throughout the day. No one knows us like this and through this system you will get to know us better. It is also undetectable by apps to know if you are being spied on.
This not only threatens our privacy, but This makes it more likely that microphones will not be needed to spy on us in the future. Only through our movements will an iPhone know what we asked Siri. If this happens, it doesn’t matter if we allow an app to use the microphone, we cover it, or we follow the best security advice, it can still spy on us. At the moment it seems that this system is neither perfect nor functional, but it may be implemented soon
