Google seems to be working on Pixel phones listening in on conversations, and more. Going forward one has to assume any conversation to a Pixel owner is not private. https://www.androidcentral.com/phones/google-pixel/leaked-google-pixel-audio-memory-poised-to-remember-what-youve-heard
I saw the audio memory thing for music in the patch notes, made me glad I was immediately installing Graphene on this thing.
"Ok Google" has been doing this for years, as well as "hey Siri".
We ripped all this shit out after my wife and I had a conversation about a very specific item, then we both got bombarded with ads for them the next day.
What about a Pixel owner who is also privacy aware and is running GrapheneOS? Seriously though, I wouldn't trust any device these days. My S25U sends just as much telemetry back as raw Pixel Android does, and Samsung locks you in hard.
