Meta / Instagram / Facebook definitely does this, they even hack your phone to get even more data.

Neither of those articles has any evidence of them secretly listening through everybody's microphone

I linked the second one because, I think, if they resort to hacking devices, they have no problems with recording you. Your voice doesn't even have to be transmitted to them, they can just analyze it on your device and use their system services which come preinstalled on every android device to distribute it locally.
