Currently on Android in order to use assistant at all I have to allow Google to record everywhere I go, every app I launch on my phone, and every web search I make on any logged in device. This is way more of my privacy I’m than I’m willing to give up. So until Google allows me to use assistant with some or all of these turned off, even if it reduces its effectiveness, Google assistant is turned off on all my devices.
- ENGNR 9y ago100% agree, it's unacceptable that it requires so many privileges when they're positioning it as a key UI for the whole Android experience. I think the dev community will start looking at hard forks as the new 'true' path rather than Nexus/Pixel if they continue down this path. It's already prevented me from buying the new pixel, what's the point of having the latest vanilla Android if it's going to spy on you anyway The best way to let them know is to open the Google app, open the menu and choose 'Send Feedback'
