Can anyone tell this meme is true or false? I don’t have Gspy so I cannot test this

    I turned off “ok google” detection in my phone. Still it triggers incorrectly from the car radio sounding similar to “ok google”. In theory turning off the detection should mean that the assistant only starts when I tap the microphone icon, but that’s not my experience.

    I can confirm, google is always listening, and it’s not even very good at pretending not to.

      I never use any voice commands for my phone. So I disable it and uninstall all voice related apps and settings.

      An unexpected benefit was this significantly improves the overall performance of the phone.

    It’s true for hardware that has dedicated low-power keyword detection hardware. I know my Pixel 1 had this behaviour. Haven’t tested it on my current phone since I actually have it enabled…
