How to do it
Open Settings > Privacy & Security > App Privacy Report.
Turn it on.
Use the phone normally, then come back the next day.
Open Data and Sensor Access for the microphone, camera, and location. Open App Network Activity for the domains.
A long domain list is not automatically a problem. A flashlight app contacting a pile of advertising domains is. Uninstall is the fix the report itself will not do.
