Caitlin Sarian walks through disabling Google's voice recording in your account settings. Turn off Web & App Activity under Data & Privacy, then set audio activity to auto-delete every 18 months to stop Google from keeping your conversations.
"Include voice and audio activity"
18 months (she notes "for anything older than 18 months" and says she uses 18 months)
Here's how to stop allowing Google to listen to your conversations. Hi, I'm Caitlin. I'm a cyber security and data protection expert and I want to help you stay safe online. Let's go. Go to Google Account. Click your profile in the top right corner and then click Manage your Google Account. Then click Data Privacy. From there, scroll all the way down and hit Web and App Activity. Then scroll to Sub Settings and then make sure that you uncheck both boxes. You're going to have to pause the additional web and app activity and you're going to want it on. Uncheck, include voice and audio activity. Then make sure your auto delete is on and click that and make sure your auto delete is on. For anything older than 18 months, try three months, but I just do 18. It's easier. Be sure to like and follow along for all the cyber security tips and be sure to share this with a friend.
