That makes sense, but isn't it assuming they're processing data on the device? I would expect them to send raw audio back to be processed by Google ad services. Obviously it wouldn't work without signal either, but that's hardly a limitation.
As someone else pointed out, how does the google song recognition work? That's active without triggering the light indicating audio recording, and is at least processing enough audio data to identify songs.
If they were sending that much audio back, people would see the traffic. You could record it and send it at a different time, but the traffic would exist somewhere. People have looked and failed to find any evidence of such traffic.
It's something that could happen on device in the nearish future if there's not anything now, but it would probably still be hard to hide.
Source? I would like to read about that
You probably won't find a source about something not happening.
It's almost like they were asking about sources for people looking or something.
If you're not going to contribute, why are you wasting people's time?
Sorry, it's been long enough and I haven't saved any of the links, and the keywords are polluted as hell with garbage results. I can't find anything specific.
