    Yes, I know about this, but bugs in wake word detection is not “listening and sending our conversations constantly”.

    And on device STT capabilities will get better with each new generation of TPUs, so we are not far from ditching wake word detection as a technology, and phones will be able to do type everything they hear. But currently we are not there yet.

      The tech is there for certain. That part is super easy. It would just be putting the software in place. Also, it would be far more covert and energy efficient to simply record the radio onto the phone itself and then send it as a file every so often. Only recording\saving when voice is being picked up could be done in as little as 30MB a day.
