    For anyone wondering how to get the same feature on your device (not only mic-camera)

    • Go to developer settings (after enabling it)
    • Quick settings developer tiles
    • (enable) sensors off
    • Open your quick settings
    • (for Samsung) you will find the tile in the 1st row 1st position
    • (for aosp) you may need to add the sensors tile
    • now turn this tile on
    • now your camera, mic, gyroscope, etc… are off and apps will think that there’s an error with the camera or some privacy policy rule being applied

    ⚪ Note: this does not turn off GPS, Bluetooth, wifi, or mobile networks

    EDIT: forgot to mention (as comments said)

    🔴 Warning: core system services can override this setting…

    a phone call will have the mic working while app calls (Whatsapp…etc) will be muted

      To further expand at least for samsung:

      • the mic will be re-enabled for regular phone calls
      • the mic won’t be re-enabled for other calls, e.g. WhatsApp, Telegram, Whatsoever
