It seems like you are unfamiliar with the rules of logic. You can never
prove that something can't happen or doesn't exist.

A phone is a computerized device and the "power button" does not
physically turn off the power. It is most definitely possible to program
a device to do something without turning the UI on or displaying the
activity on the UI thus something can be donn without the knowledge of
the user.
