There are several times that we may not remember which are the applications that have access to the camera and microphone of our device. Whether you have privacy concerns or are simply thinking about disallowing camera and microphone access to specific apps, follow this guide.
A very easy way to prevent apps from accessing your device's camera and microphone is to delete them. But why not use apps without giving them too many permissions?

Shall we go through the process in detail?
We start by opening the "Settings" of our device.
Scrolling down we will find the "Privacy" section.
Here we see the "Microphone" option.
We are shown all the applications installed on our device that have access to the microphone. In those we want to stop access to it, we turn the switch from green to white.
In the same privacy section, there is also the "Camera" option.
As above, here we see equally the applications that have been given access to the camera. We turn off the switch on those that we no longer want to open the camera on the iPhone.
If you want to use the camera or microphone in one of the applications you have disabled access to, you will be asked to give the appropriate authorisation.
This was the process by which we can control the applications that use the camera and microphone of our device and stop/set the permissions of each application. For any questions that may arise, feel free to ask us down in the comments.
