Hello,

I am using WhatsApp und restricted it with things like restricted contacts. I've installed the last stable version of XPrivacy somewhen around the beginning of july, and updated today to the newest beta. Unfortunately, preventing WhatsApp from using my microphone does not working any longer: voice recording is possible now. I've restricted all entrys in the audio/video/photo category, because I want to use WhatsApp just for text chat, and don't want to allow WhatsApp to make photos or voice recordings of me. Restricting photos works well, the same applies for videos. My device is a Samsung Galaxy SIII, GSM, CyanogenMod 10.2 stable (Android 4.3). WhatsApp is the last version from Google Play, XPrivacy is upgraded to 2.99.19 for testing, if this problem is fixed in the betas. It isn't :(

Is there a way to restrict the microphone usage of WhatsApp?

Can you please try if the new restriction MediaRecorder.setOutputFile prevents voice recording?
Use the menu 'Check for updates' to get a new beta version 2.99.20 with this restriction.
