Is Google always listening to my conversations?
Your phone may be silently listening to everything you say. So if you’d rather not have your phone listening to you, you can disable the features that do it. You’ll need to disable “Hey Google,” audio monitoring while driving, and the Google search microphone. Once you do, Google will no longer listen for your voice.
