Why companies secretly listen to you? 

Listening to the audio of users without their consent is a serious privacy concern. Smartphone manufacturers have previously faced a lot of criticisms regarding this.  Google clarified that it only records specific words or phrases which are essential for the activation of Google assistant like “OK Google” or “Hey Google”. Google is also transparent about the voice data it collects. You can even view and delete the sound Google has recorded from your device from the activity section of your Google account.
