Multiple reports claim an investigation has found that certain LG devices can capture audio from a room and upload it to internet-connected services, including when the devices are not actively in use. The allegations, as described by the outlets, focus on how the devices behave in standby mode.
The sources describe concerns that TVs and related LG products could be listening beyond what users reasonably expect. However, the reports presented here do not provide detailed technical findings, evidence, or context about the purpose of the audio capture (for example, whether it is tied to specific features such as voice controls, error reporting, or other functions). They also do not specify affected models or regions, or whether LG has responded publicly to the claims.
Across the two sources provided, the framing is similar: both report that the investigation indicates audio capture capability and online transmission. Neither outlet’s summary supplies additional verification beyond the premise of the investigation.
