For any Samsung users who want to try and avoid this until a fix is pushed: 1. Open settings widget. 2. Click on Apps. 3. Click on the Messages app. 4. Select Permissions. 5. Toggle 'Storage' off.

This sound eerily similar to a recent instance when Amazon&#x27;s Alexa recorded and transmitted a private conversation of a Portland family to a random contact, just a couple months ago. [0]<p>This is some bad publicity for the tech industry at large. Hope the team at Samsung figures this out soon.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kiro7.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;local&#x2F;woman-says-her-amazon-device-recorded-private-conversation-sent-it-out-to-random-contact&#x2F;755507974" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kiro7.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;local&#x2F;woman-says-her-amazon-devic...</a>
