Why does Instagram keep trying to record audio

[Android Central Question]

Whilst in dm's, Instagram keeps trying to record audio, without pressing the audio record button.
An easy way to replicate it is to swipe down from the notch, but sometimes it happens randomly.
I can send a screen recording, but I can't send a link

I don't do insta whatever it is, but if you don't use mike's, you can deny the app permission to use microphone...?
