It is possible, at least theoretically, that "keyword scanning" only happens when you interact with the apps.
Say, you're searching for something while you speak, lo and behold Google Search's suggestion list pops up and is extremely accurate for what I am about to search based on 1 or 2 characters.
- kristopolous 4y agoYes, I thought of that as well but I didn't pursue it. There's ways to MITM the traffic on your own devices if you set up your network and phone right. That'd probably be the next step and then to look into the payload contents (which should be a bit more conclusive). I was just doing flow analysis. Doing that and getting a hard "no" would be valuable. Alternatively if you can catch the hypothesized spying on the wire, fame will be yours.
- voisin 4y ago> It is possible, at least theoretically, that "keyword scanning" only happens when you interact with the apps. This isn’t what the popular conspiracy is though. People argue just having their phone with them while they hold normal conversations leads to advertisements later. No app interaction is ever mentioned. I think this experiment is perfect for debunking the conspiracy.
