Record videos to report iPhone bugs, accidentally discovering evidence that Facebook Messenger is eavesdropping on users?

Recently, a member of the Reddit forum called mapuanclem posted a video recording the faulty interface of his iPhone X after upgrading to iOS 12.1 causing the device to hang, unable to access any any application period.

Soon after, a controversial topic took place, but not the crashes of the iPhone X, but the evidence that Facebook Messenger was eavesdropping on the user because the mapuanclem guy accidentally discovered in the video.

According to the information provided by mapuanclem, his iPhone X was originally used normally and was suspended, unable to access any application while still operating on the main screen. Mapuanclem has opened applications running in the background to check if there are any applications that cause crashes, Facebook Messenger appears a recording task via the device's microphone running in the background with the words' Messenger Audio ending '.

Mapuanclem said that I discovered evidence that Facebook Messenger is eavesdropping on users. Immediately, the mapuanclem's opinion received the support of many people but there were also many people who protested.

There was one member who thought that a mapuanclem could have been or was making a call with someone, so there was this implicit run of Messenger. However, the mapuanclem also confirmed that, within 24 hours, he did not make any calls through the Messenger application.

Some other comments that, if Facebook wants to eavesdrop on users via Messenger application, will not reveal evidence so easily.

Another member confirmed that Facebook eavesdropping by users only happens on Android devices, while iOS devices are impossible.
