- Voice assist – when using voice assist (like Siri and Google Assist), they are listening for you to say the command word(s). “Hey Siri.” And sometimes it will pick up a conversation that is not necessarily triggered by the command due to hearing similar words.
We give a lot of trust and responsibility to these companies to be transparent in what they capture and collect.
You can turn off voice assist through your settings on your phone.
