If the phone does not listen 24/7, then how does it know when you are asking a question?

I pushed the microphone button on the keyboard editor when I want the microphone to listen to me.

For example, when I comment here on Lemmy, I use the voice-to-text option to type out my comments, via the microphone.

It should discard all information until the wake up word is called in theory.

But even with always-on listening mode, it shouldn’t actually be taking any of your data for advertising (or legal issues for that matter) and using it, unless you explicitly authorize it to do so.

And it has to be very explicit, not buried down in some long multi-page license somewhere that only a knowledgeable lawyer would be able to know and find.

Oh, and you should be able to opt-out of that mode as well.
