"Google has allegedly been tapping into Android users’ mobile devices to secretly record private conversations" The Sun reported online.
According to the report, the Google Assistant, which works similar to Apple’s Siri — records conversations without the users knowing.
An investigation carried out by the British news showed that Google’s audio assistant jams up in some cases. The report noted that in some instances, just saying “Ok” in a random conversation will cause the system to switch the phone on and record about 20 seconds of audio.
The system also switches the microphone on as users go about their usual activities. Once the virtual assistant finishes recording, the system uploads the audio to its servers often referred to as “the cloud.”
The audio recording typically last around 20 seconds on average. They have also been found to save text versions of the private conversations. The report notes the audio files will help the artificial intelligence designed to oversee Google Home.
