Google voice search records and keeps conversations people have

Google voice search doesn&#x27;t record everything said near the smartphone.<p>In fact, it only records and send to the mothership when the OK Google is recognized.<p>Another clickbait article with just FUD

Haven’t we known this for a while? I don’t see it as being all that scandalous if it’s available right on the history page along with everything else Google keeps track of.

Not just FUD - Google mis-recognized words to mean &quot;positive&quot; or &quot;OK Google&quot; that were part of various German conversations.<p>This means I inadvertently recorded snippets of conversation with friends without their knowledge, and was able to listen to them now.<p>In Germany this is a crime and could get you up to three years.

So, if I understand correctly, Google records everything that is said next to a Android phone with voice search enabled? The crazy thing is that other people&#x27;s phones may record your voice.
