To Camdat’s point, a general transcription is definitely not low power even if you have some kind of gating on when it transcribes. Obviously Apple and Google and Samsung and whoever makes the phone can turn on the mic without you knowing, otherwise how would their voice assistant work, but Apple probably isn’t letting Facebook have access to the mic without throwing something up on the status bar.

Whatsapp is sending your audio to the cloud to handle transcription. This is not an accurate test because it is not an on-device process.
