尽管向您的手机发出语音命令并让它自动响应很方便，但这种便利伴随着重大的隐私权衡。这意味着谷歌(Google)需要不断地通过你的麦克风倾听你的声音，以便知道何时做出回应。
如果将家庭隐私或工作中的对话通过互联网传输到公司的想法引起了您的一些担忧，那么您并不孤单。值得庆幸(Thankfully)的是，您仍然可以控制自己的Google帐户和设备。您可以通过多种方式更新两者，以阻止Google不断听取您的意见。
Google 如何倾听您的声音
如果您对Google一直在倾听您的声音感到惊讶， Google会提供可接受的理由让您的移动设备上的麦克风保持打开状态。
- 您手机上的OK Google功能需要在您说出“okay Google”字样时识别它们。
- (Google Assistant)每当您寻求帮助时，Google 助理都需要识别。
- (Google Maps)每当您说“ Hey Google ”时， (Hey Google)Google 地图都需要激活语音识别。
- 当您说“Hey Google”时， Android Auto也会激活语音识别。
这些可能会使听你的声音合法，但对于许多人来说，这仍然是不可接受的。谷歌(Google)通过让你在安装这些应用程序时“批准”主动收听来做到这一点。大多数人很少注意他们提供这些应用程序的权限。
我的 Google 录音在哪里？
您可以通过访问您帐户中的Google录音来查看Google收听的内容。
1. 在您的网络浏览器中，访问Google 我的活动(Google My Activity)并确保您已登录到您的Google帐户。向下滚动(Scroll)到Web & App Activity部分并选择Manage activity。接下来，选择按日期和产品过滤(Filter by date & product)。
2. 这将打开一个带有选项列表的过滤器框。滚动到底部并选中(Scroll)语音和音频(Voice and Audio)旁边的复选框。选择应用(Apply)。
这会将您的活动历史记录过滤为仅Google捕获的语音和音频记录。
如何阻止谷歌(Google From)不断地听你说话
有几种方法可以阻止Google不断倾听您的声音。一种是在您的Google帐户中完全禁用主动收听。但是，这也要求您信任Google会停止监听所有应用程序。
另一种方法是强制主动侦听停止并删除Google应用程序的权限。在本文中，您将了解每种方法，以便您可以选择最能保护您隐私的方法。
关闭 Google 语音记录(Turn Off Google Voice History)
立即阻止Google收听的最简单方法就是禁用在您的(Google)Google 帐户(Google Account)中保存录音。
1. 在您的网络浏览器中，访问Google 我的活动(Google My Activity)，然后在右侧窗格中选择网络和应用活动(Web & App Activity)。
2. 这将打开网络(Web)和应用活动(App Activity)页面。取消选择包括录音(Include audio recordings)旁边的复选框。
禁用此功能后，您向Google Assistant、Google Search或Google Maps发出的所有语音命令都不会登录到您的Google帐户。
注意(Note)：这只意味着传入的录音不会被保存。这并不意味着Google并不总是在倾听您的意见。要禁用Google(Google)端的所有收听，您需要采取更严厉的措施，如下所述。
阻止 Google 助理听你说话(Stop Google Assistant From Listening to You)
最常听您讲话的主要应用是Google Assistant。这个应用程序随时准备回应您的声明，“OK Google”。
您可以关闭此应用程序对您麦克风的使用，(turn off this app’s use of your microphone)以便始终聆听您的声音。
去做这个：
1. 打开您的Android 设置(Android Settings)菜单并点击Google。
2. 在下一个菜单中，选择Google 应用程序设置(Settings for Google apps)。
3. 选择搜索、助理和语音(Search, Assistant & Voice)。
4. 在下一个设置(Settings)菜单中，选择语音(Voice)。
5. 在语音菜单中，选择语音匹配(Voice Match)。
6. 在Voice Match屏幕上，禁用(Voice Match)Hey Google右侧的切换开关。
这将禁用谷歌助理(Google Assistant)听你说“嘿谷歌”这个短语。请记住，您必须手动点击Google Assistant应用中的麦克风图标才能发出语音命令。但是，如果隐私是您最关心的问题，那么这是一个很小的代价。
阻止 Android Auto 聆听您的声音(Stop Android Auto From Listening to You)
另一个听你语音命令的应用是 Android Auto。此应用程序中隐藏了一个设置，可让您关闭此功能，以便该应用程序不会一直在听您的声音。
1. 启动Android Auto（手机屏幕版本）(Android Auto (the version for phone screens))并点击菜单图标。
2. 在Android Auto菜单中，选择设置(Settings)。
3. 在设置菜单中，选择“Hey Google”检测(“Hey Google” Detection)。
4. 在下一个设置窗口中，禁用Hey Google右侧的切换开关。
当您说“Hey Google”时，这将禁用Android Auto的持续监控。(Android Auto)同样，请记住，您将需要在Android Auto中手动启动命令，因为您将不再能够仅通过语音启动命令。
阻止谷歌地图听你说话(Stop Google Maps From Listening to You)
如果您从未在手机上的Google Maps应用程序中检查过Google Assistant设置，那么Google Maps也可能会听取您的语音命令。您可以在Google 地图(Google Maps)应用中关闭此功能。
1. 在您的手机上启动Google 地图(Google Maps)，然后点击右上角的个人资料图片图标以打开个人资料(Profile)菜单。
2. 选择设置(Settings)打开谷歌地图设置(Google Maps Settings)菜单。
3. 点击导航设置(Navigation settings)，然后在下一个窗口中，选择Google 助理设置(Google Assistant settings)。
4. 在驾驶模式(Driving Mode)屏幕上，确保禁用驾驶模式右侧的切换。(Driving Mode)
这将禁止在Google Maps中激活Google Assistant。除非您手动点击主屏幕上的麦克风图标以触发语音命令，否则Google 地图(Google Maps)应用程序不会听您的声音。
阻止 Google 应用程序倾听您的声音(Stop the Google App From Listening to You)
您可以用来阻止Google收听您的最后一种方法是在手机上的Google应用程序中禁用收听。
1. 打开您的Android 设置(Android Settings)菜单并选择应用程序(Apps)。
2. 在应用程序(Apps)列表中，向下滚动到Google应用程序并点击它。
3. 在谷歌应用(Google App)信息页面中，选择权限(Permissions)。
接下来，您将禁用Google应用程序的(Google)麦克风(Microphone)访问权限，这样它就无法通过您的手机被动地收听您的声音。
4. 在应用程序(App)权限菜单中，从列表中选择麦克风。(Microphone)
5. 在麦克风(Microphone)权限屏幕上，启用拒绝(Deny)单选按钮。
现在，Google应用将无法访问您手机的麦克风。您可以放心，Google将无法通过此应用随时收听您的声音。
让您的对话不被Google 知道(Google)
(Google)对于他们从成千上万的用户那里收集的所有录音，谷歌可能根本没有恶意。但是，如果您真的不希望自己的对话成为庞大音频信息库的一部分，那么至少现在您拥有一系列工具可以永久关闭Google的大门。
How to Stop Google From Listening to You Constantly
Although it’s convenient to give your phone voice cоmmands and have it automatiсally rеѕpond, that convenience comes with mајоr privacy tradeoffs. It means Google needs to constantly listen to you through your microphone so that it knows when to respond.
If the idea of conversations from the privacy of your home or work getting transmitted out to a company over the internet causes you some concern, you aren’t alone. Thankfully you still have control over both your Google account and your device. And there are ways you can update both to stop Google from listening to you constantly.
How Google Is Listening to You
If it surprises you that Google is always listening to you, Google offers acceptable reasons for keeping the microphone on your mobile device open.
- The OK Google feature on your phone needs to recognize the words “okay Google” when you speak them.
- Google Assistant needs to recognize whenever you ask for help.
- Google Maps needs to activate voice recognition whenever you say “Hey Google”.
- Android Auto also activates voice recognition when you say “Hey Google”.
These may make listening to you legal, but for many people, it’s still unacceptable. And Google does this by having you “approve” active listening when you install these apps. Most people pay little attention to the permissions they’re providing these apps.
Where Are My Google Recordings?
You can see what Google has listened to by accessing Google recordings on your account.
1. In your web browser, visit Google My Activity and make sure you’re logged into your Google account. Scroll down to the Web & App Activity section and select Manage activity. Next, select Filter by date & product.
2. This will open a filter box with a list of options. Scroll to the bottom and select the checkbox next to Voice and Audio. Select Apply.
This will filter your activity history to only the voice and audio recordings that Google has captured.
How to Stop Google From Listening to You Constantly
There are several ways you can stop Google from listening to you constantly. One is to disable active listening in your Google account altogether. However, this also requires that you trust Google to stop listening on all apps.
The other approach is to force active listening to stop and remove permissions for Google apps. In this article, you’ll learn each method so that you can choose the one that you feel protects your privacy the best.
Turn Off Google Voice History
The easiest way to immediately stop Google from listening is just to disable saving audio recordings in your Google Account.
1. In your web browser, visit Google My Activity, and in the right pane, select Web & App Activity.
2. This will open the Web & App Activity page. Deselect the checkbox next to Include audio recordings.
Once this is disabled, all voice commands you issue to Google Assistant, Google Search, or Google Maps won’t get logged into your Google account.
Note: This only means that incoming recordings won’t get saved. It doesn’t mean that Google isn’t still always listening to you. To disable all listening from Google’s end, you need to take more drastic actions, as detailed below.
Stop Google Assistant From Listening to You
The main app that listens to you most often is Google Assistant. This app stands ready to respond to your statement, “OK Google”.
You can turn off this app’s use of your microphone to listen to you all the time.
To do this:
1. Open your Android Settings menu and tap Google.
2. On the next menu, select Settings for Google apps.
3. Select Search, Assistant & Voice.
4. In the next Settings menu, select Voice.
5. In the Voice menu, select Voice Match.
6. On the Voice Match screen, disable the toggle switch to the right of Hey Google.
This will disable Google Assistant from listening for you to say the phrase “Hey Google”. Keep in mind that you’ll have to manually tap the microphone icon in the Google Assistant app to issue voice commands. However, if privacy is your primary concern, this is a small price to pay.
Stop Android Auto From Listening to You
Another app that listens to you for voice commands is Android Auto. There is a setting buried in this app that lets you turn off this feature so that the app isn’t always listening to you.
1. Launch Android Auto (the version for phone screens) and tap the menu icon.
2. In the Android Auto menu, select Settings.
3. In the Settings menu, select “Hey Google” Detection.
4. On the next settings window, disable the toggle switch to the right of Hey Google.
This will disable Android Auto from constantly monitoring when you say “Hey Google.” Again, keep in mind that you’ll need to manually initiate commands in Android Auto since you will no longer be able to start commands with just your voice.
Stop Google Maps From Listening to You
If you’ve never checked the Google Assistant setting in the Google Maps app on your phone, then Google Maps could be listening to you for voice commands as well. You can turn this feature off inside the Google Maps app.
1. Launch Google Maps on your phone and tap your profile picture icon at the upper right to open the Profile menu.
2. Select Settings to open the Google Maps Settings menu.
3. Tap Navigation settings, and on the next window, select Google Assistant settings.
4. On the Driving Mode screen, make sure the toggle to the right of Driving Mode is disabled.
This will disable Google Assistant from being activated inside of Google Maps. The Google Maps app will not listen to you unless you manually tap the microphone icon on the main screen to trigger a voice command.
Stop the Google App From Listening to You
One final method you can use to cut Google from listening to you is to disable listening in the Google app on your phone.
1. Open your Android Settings menu and select Apps.
2. In the Apps list, scroll down to the Google app and tap it.
3. In the Google App info page, select Permissions.
Next, you’re going to disable Microphone access for the Google app so that there is no way it can ever passively listen to you through your phone.
4. In the App permissions menu, select Microphone from the list.
5. On the Microphone permission screen, enable the Deny radio button.
Now, the Google app will have no access to your phone’s microphone. You can rest assured that Google won’t be able to listen to you at any time through this app.
Keep Your Conversations Private From Google
Google may have no nefarious intentions at all with all of the audio recordings they’re collecting from many thousands of users. But if you don’t really want your own conversations to become a part of that massive library of audio information, at least now you have an arsenal of tools to shut that door on Google for good.
