Your smartphone could be paying closer attention to your conversations than you realise, and the companies behind it may not be as transparent as they claim.
Google has agreed to pay $68 million (£49.7 million) to settle a class action lawsuit alleging that its voice-activated Assistant secretly recorded users' private conversations and shared that data with advertisers. The preliminary settlement, filed on Friday in a federal court in San Jose, California, awaits approval from US District Judge Beth Labson Freeman.
