If everyone's phones had been actively using the microphone without consent to record people, we would have found out by now. I know a lot of people like to say that "oh I got this ad that only showed up because I talked about x with a friend and my phone heard me," but that's just due to both selection bias and a number of other tracking methods and datapoints other than conversations.
