Your phone battery dies in 3 hours.
This is why we're "lucky" to have limited battery tech right now. What's to fear is when a minuscule device will get years and years of energy with new battery tech. This is where ubiquitous connected devices will ramp up and pose the real privacy threat.

- nkozyra 11y ago> Your phone battery dies in 3 hours. I'm not so sure. Passive background network activity happens perpetually on Android and iOS devices now. I'm not saying it doesn't have an impact on battery life, I'm just saying that sending chunks of speech during this time wouldn't have significantly more impact than Gmail syncing in the background.

If you send out all voice data to a server, you're tapping into both CPU and radio, which is quite equivalent as when you speak on, say, Facetime audio or a VoIP app. I dare you to speak for more than a few hours with WhatsApp.
