Worth mentioning is that phones can also listen to us illegally. That’s because we often give consent for phones to listen to us when we accept terms and conditions of software updates or app downloads. Those conditions are usually that we’ll allow our data to be collected so that we can harness all the wonders and conveniences of voice-assisted programs and services. Yes, it is legal for phones to listen to you. And your data can be collected, oftentimes for advertising or marketing purposes. So, the next time you beckon “Hey Google” or Siri, know that it’s just like opening a browser window. These devices and the applications on them are capable of internet tracking, too. In this respect, you might think of your smartphone as a verbal search engine. It’s similar to how search engines track our activity to ensure we’re delivered the most relevant results and advertisements. See, it’s no coincidence that you’re sometimes served advertisements that directly relate to a phone conversation you just had. That’s through voice assistant apps, like Siri and “Hey Google,” but also through personalized advertisements that follow conversations had on them. Foremost, our phones listen to us to virtually assist us.
