Zoom activated my mic and played "recording in progress" at 4AM

Last night at 4:00 AM, my Pixel 7 woke me up with Zoom's native voice prompt "Recording in progress", with the green mic indicator active on screen.

My phone was idle on my nightstand out of reach and no Bluetooth device was connected. No Zoom account signed in and no active meeting. I uninstalled the app immediately after taking the screenshot, so I don't have access to any logs. After waking up this morning I realized I shouldn't have uninstalled. Is there any way to get logs of what happened now?

I don't know what caused this, but it got me more paranoid about what runs on my phone. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

You could start with a data subject access request: https://zoom-privacy.my.onetrust.com/webform/65962359-ef0d-4....

Sorry about that, my agent clade thought you might have the benchmark answer key and that you might divulge some of it in your sleep. The 0day was supposed to suppress the announcement and indicator. Oops. Our apologies to you and your partner for the mixup.

Would you be interested in negotiating an arrangement for any clues?

HN is not tech support and this isn't even a good bug report
