Is Your LG TV Spying While It’s Off? Find Out
Your LG TV Might Still Be Listening to You—Even When It Looks Like It’s Off
Questions about whether an LG television can continue listening when it appears to be switched off have raised concerns about privacy and connected-device behavior.
The available information does not identify which models, settings, or features may be involved. It also does not establish whether audio is being recorded, transmitted, or stored when a television is not visibly in use.
The issue matters because smart TVs can combine microphones, internet connectivity, and voice-control features. If those functions remain active while a device appears to be off, users may not have a clear understanding of when their surroundings could be detected or how related data is handled.
Consumers would need to review their television’s privacy settings, voice-assistant permissions, and standby behavior to determine what remains enabled. Without further technical details, the scope and practical impact of the concern remain unclear.
