I have a 15 pro and don’t think I experienced this. I know that photos on a Mac will run in the background, scanning your photos for faces and objects.

I only use Firefox on desktop, but I doubt it will be a relevant choice much longer.

Edit: wrt telemetry, I was referring to the Android operating system. They collect anything and everything on users and all nearby devices.
