UPDATED!

What's new:

- changed to shell commands since the mic block is unreliable on certain roms, especially AOSP, as it seems.

- current mic status is displayed in the notification*

*I'm currently working on a way to effectively detect the mic's status, no matter where and how it's been changed.
For now it cannot read it. If you use an app that requests using the mic, don't use that popup request to unblock it! Cancel it and instead tap the flow's notification. This is especially for using voice messages in chat apps or AI chat windows.
By doing this you will always have the correct status being displayed in the notification.

It auto switches the mic on for calls, and back off when hung up.



About call detection:

*you might have to open blocks 2, 10 and 12, and pick your subscription provider there. Especially, when you're using Multi-Sim. In that case select the Sim ID, that you use for calls.


TO-DO:

- maybe let the user pick an array of apps on first use, that the flow should take into account. This would be stable and work with apps, like assistants, Whatsapp, etc.
My prior approach to this was unstable.
- You tell me?




ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
This flow should block social media ads that come up after you talk about them.
Social media uses the microphone to get keywords from your conversation then gives you an ad.

This flow mutes your microphone and unmutes when your in a call.
