TikTok user says iPhone feature lets you ‘listen to conversations’
IPhones have an interesting “spying” feature that will let you eavesdrop.
The feature is called Live Listen and will allow you to listen to conversations from the room you leave your iPhone in.
It can only be used with AirPods and was originally meant to help people with conversations in a noisy environment or to help those who are hard of hearing.
Apple says: “With Live Listen, your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch can act like a microphone that sends sound to your AirPods, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, Powerbeats Pro, or Beats Fit Pro.
“Live Listen can help you hear a conversation in a noisy area or even hear someone speaking across the room.”
