I don't mind not buying a Google Home it whatever, but is Google listening on my "Ok Google" enabled Android phone as well?

- nstart 8y agoI can't recall the google settings screen but you can review everything that google has picked up. I reviewed mine and while most were ok there were a good number of private conversations with my wife that google had randomly picked up. Most of them sounded like stuff I was saying while driving. Which means that it was purely based on what android thought it had heard vs any manual input. I can only assume google home will have similar moments.

- gipp 8y agoAll these things have dedicated low-power hardware that just listens for the trigger phrase and has no network access. That's why you can't choose your trigger phrase.
