Features & Capabilities

Wisom - Cam & Mic Indicator is a simple yet powerful Chrome extension that notifies you whenever any app accesses your camera or microphone. Inspired by privacy features in iOS 14 and Android 12, Wisom offers real-time green and orange indicators so you always know when your devices are in use.

To ensure full functionality, users need to grant necessary permissions such as USAGE_STATS and allow Wisom to appear on top of other apps. The extension not only detects current usage but also provides a detailed history of app access. While on Android 6 microphone detection isn't supported due to system limitations, Wisom remains a handy tool to protect your privacy. This extension is currently in beta and aims to answer the crucial question: "Who is spying on me?"

Stay informed and keep your privacy intact with Wisom's clear indicators and access logs. It's simple, effective, and essential for anyone concerned about unauthorized camera or microphone use.

User Reviews

Users appreciate Wisom for effectively indicating camera and microphone usage and providing a history view, with a privacy-focused design that avoids accessibility services and prompt developer support. However, multiple users report bugs such as microphone indicators not turning off, incomplete detection (e.g., 'Hey Google'), the need for manual app input, unreliable camera detection especially on certain devices, and the app ceasing to work after reboot without manual restart. These issues impact usability and reliability despite the app's valuable core functionality.

Pros

Effectively notifies users when apps use the camera and microphone.
Provides a history view of apps that have accessed camera/microphone.
Does not rely on accessibility services, thus avoiding interference with Android touch accessibility.
Developer is responsive and adds features based on user feedback.
Better privacy protection by indicating usage of camera and mic compared to built-in indicators on some devices.

Cons

Mic indicator sometimes fails to turn off after app stops using the mic, causing lingering notifications.
App does not consistently detect mic usage by specific apps, such as 'Hey Google' or for microphone tracking on some devices.
Requires manual input of apps or packages for scanning rather than automatic detection, making setup time-consuming.
Camera indicator does not always detect usage correctly, especially with system camera apps or multiple cameras.
App stops working after device reboot unless manually restarted, reducing reliability.

This app is great. I really like the fact that it shows a history view of apps that used the camera/microphone. Now I have installed Android 11 with this functionality built-in, but this app served me well! 10/10
