Definitely not because most people use Maps for locating a restaurant, which most likely you do as well. Not because taco bell is the most common restaurant that begins with "T."

Nothing about these comments even hints at establishing the controls necessary to get accurate data on your phone mic spying on you. It's all anecdotal and based on the knowledge about what information apps are able to scrape, seems like none of you guys really understand what they have access to.
