Thank you for the helpful video! Have there been any updates to disable the camera from recording when I am home? As you mentioned using the toggle disables both the camera and voice.

The Audio recordings does not look like it's available here in the UK? Looks like once again different regions have different settings?

[Mondo_ne]

Can you redo this video with the updated version of Google home app?? They must've seen this and decided to "update" and change everything around as to not have us opt out of tracking and listening

[basemfityan]

Great video, thank you…What is the music track at the end of your video?

[myutube]

My Google home is different. I don't have the audio options at all, and I am missing the sensitivity setting.

[Quizzical]

What drives me crazy is all 5 of my google nest hubs are all showing my personal photos, appointments, contacts etc. to everyone. Even when I turn on the light, my appointments pop up. This is driving me crazy and seems impossible to find a way block access across all hubs to my personal information, while still keeping it available to my android and desktop computer. I could not find anywhere how to turn this off.

how do i turn off the tap to speak thing with the orange box?

[mariesheppard]

Wow thanks did not know all of this, I only have my G A on my Ipad love it,

[UltraViolet.]

I found that evil, sneaky, ease-dropping Google Assistant had captured and stored me saying, -- SHUT UP a multiple of times!!!! LOL 😂 But thanks to you and your help I duck-taped that little sucker's mouth closed. I Subscribed and will listen to more tips from now on. 👍💜

[OsoAmez]

Well, I was not paranoid, now I am! lol JK, thanks for the information, I actually checked and the voice recording was off, I guess I'm one of the few that actually puts attention to not accept everything when creating a google account and link it with a device or two... Regards!

I have neither your data in the assistant as well as audio recordings in assistant app. 23/11/2023...update: I have found audio recordings, but it was under a different name...I'm on Iphone update 17 et al.

I understand Google now gives option of no "Hey Google" ?

[derrickthai]

So you said Apple was never spy on people 🤔 well said brother.

[rileybusse]

This is why Sony/PlayStation and iPhone/Apple are so much better because their privacy is actually private. It’s way more secure than googles yesterday all might be storing data but I’ll tell you what Sony/PlayStation and Apple/iPhone/iPad/iPod touch are way more secure than Google that’s for sure cause they’re pedophiles so of course they’re gonna listen to you because everything that you say is interesting. Apparently no matter what you do that’s why if I had a Google device which I don’t want that I never will but I did I would always constantly have a microphone, and that I would use the device normally without using your voice. It doesn’t take long to press a couple of buttons rather than lazy and trying to use your voice and then having them steal your data.

You should be able to change the wake word like Alexa.

Steve - please start labeling your timeline marks instead of "feature". Show people you care about their time and convenience. It will only equate to people appreciating your channel back in the form of likes and subscriptions.

[rileybusse]

Both Amazon and Google/Alexa/Google assistant are both bad why do you think I never on an Xbox and I never will no Xbox no android don’t trust their privacy. Yes some of them do have privacy I’m sure of that but I trust Apple and Sony with PlayStation, more than I trust, google, and Microsoft.

[TeamGB-Diving]

I didn’t need to watch this to know how to stop google recording you. It’s easy, just unplug the thing. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Never used Google and I don’t intend to either. Read to many bad reviews on it. 🫶🏻🫶🏻👍🏻👍🏻😉😉
