New Delhi. Google offers a lot of features to its users. Some features are visible. But, many are hidden. Some such features are related to data and privacy. There is a hidden feature in your Google account that collects audio recordings from your web and app activity. In a way, it is also said that Google listens to your conversations.
Google says that they are doing this only to listen to the commands and promote marketing efforts. But in a way, this is a violation of your privacy. Because, many people do not even know that Google records your conversation with Assistant and other apps. The most dangerous thing is that if a cybercriminal hacks your Google account or smart device, then he can also access your stored audio and voice data.
The good thing is that Google also gives an option to control it under Data and Privacy. With this, you can turn voice and audio activity on or off. Let’s know its steps.
