Interesting. So you are suggesting they may have already considered this and may have some defensive programming around it?

I don't think Facebook will do this to be honest.

But if they decide to do, I think best way of action will be some defensive programming around it, with plausible deniability.

I am guessing they are already checking binary integrity etc, also they can probably push code updates from server. So when you put this pieces together, they have everything they need technically.

So, code updates from the server doesn't matter as we can hook all of the audio recording APIs at a system level. Their _only_ defense IMHO is to NOT do it on Jailbroken devices. You are right, it's super easy to detect jailbroken devices.

Technically they can also check if you hooked on the recording APIs. This is like a rabbit hole :)
