Many people ask “Is Google listening to me?” he wonders. Yes, even if the phone’s key lock is turned off, Google is listening to you at all times and recording your conversations. As a result, you are presented with advertisements about the things you talk about. But don’t worry, you can prevent Google from listening to you and showing ads with a few settings.
You can prevent Google from listening to you and showing ads
As you know, the owner of the Android operating system is Google. In order to use your Android phone, you need to sign in with your Google account (gmail). By default, your Google account allows Google to listen to you and show you ads based on your conversations.
This has happened to many of us. We start to see advertisements on social media, websites and YouTube about the subject we are talking about in a circle of friends or at home. For example, recently thieves tried to break into our workplace and we were talking about it. Then I picked up my phone and lo and behold, I saw ads for alarm systems. If you do not want to experience this situation, you should prevent Google from listening to you.
How do I prevent Google from wiretapping?
- Open the internet browser on your phone where you are logged in with your Google account.
- in the upper right corner Profile Tap on your picture and click on the menu that opens. Manage Your Google Account Tap the button.
- On the opened page Data and Privacy from your tab Web and App Activity Select the option.
- Located under the sub-settings tab Include speech and voice activity Disable the option.
- Then go back to the Data & Privacy tab and My Ad Center Choose your year.
- Located in the upper right corner Personalized ads Tap the menu and on the screen that opens Close Tap .
Why is Google listening to us?
Google, the world’s most popular search engine, also has the world’s largest advertising network. In order to show advertisers’ ads to potential customers, Google examines all our activities on our phones, listens to us and shows us ads based on our interests. As a result, we see advertisements based on our interests. When we click on ads, Google makes money.

It’s wrong, there are no ads about the topics we talk about all the time, plus Google says the opposite of what you claim on the page you mentioned.
“When the speech and voice activity setting is on
When the speech and audio activity setting is turned on for your Web and App Activity, Google; “Google stores audio recordings created when you interact with Search, Assistant, and Maps with your Web and App Activity in your Google Account on Google servers.”
If you have a lack of understanding, let me explain. Google assistant says that if you speak to applications such as maps, it is recorded. Even if you leave the assistant on, they only record what happens after you say OK Google.

How does it understand when we say “Ok Google”? He needs to listen constantly to understand. Unless we can create our minds, of course :)

How nice
The guy keeps me away from irrelevant ads that I’m not interested in.

Elderly care services were being discussed in the environment. According to him, advertisements and messages had arrived. Depending on my location, I encounter it a lot.

If this is the case all over the world, doesn’t anyone ask what right they have to listen? It is said that it is a complete intelligence tool, it listens for advertisements, but how do we know that it is not used for other purposes, stored or sold?

You give permission when you create an account. I wish you read the terms of service before accepting them…

What’s your problem? Let him listen. All kinds of advertisements will appear in those areas. Isn’t it better to have a relevant ad appear?

Don’t let it eat my phone’s battery.

Let them listen, we have no secrets. I hope the right advertisement comes and it works for me.

It has no harm, on the contrary it has benefits, the data is automatically deleted after a while and cannot be accessed from outside, it is only used to show ads, what more do you want?
