Dictating function is all day listening me - apple watches 6

Muguy, I just thought the same thing.

That is not true anymore. Maybe that is not apple thing, maybe the third side app (setting for voice recognition could use the listening).

If the all time listening is possible on slower android phones years ago (hey google - it listened all the time and it has been default setting, I remember 2016). It is easy on apples, it listens all the time to command "siri"and you can switch it off. In Dictating function it listens all the time but when you switch it off your watch lost the great feature.

Hi, thank you very much for great answer. I read more about Siri and Dictation&Privacy - I understand, how SIri and Dictating is using my all day recording even when I am not talking straight to my device.

I realized that my requests or voice recording (when watches and siri is listening) are associated with a random identifier - and given somewhere - In my case that is google ads, that targets me back via gmail - not randomly, just straight me. That means when app is listening, next step is that somebody (apple or google) got transcript of my all day indirect voice, I call it metadata from listening (to improve service and etc.) and gives it a radom identifier and match interest category - google delivers ad, done. Where are my data that apple got for adressing to random identifier? That is my indirect voice from all day listening, for 24/7 when you track your sleeping.

My problem has two possibilities: I preffer the second.

1) Google has granted acces to microphone in Privacy setting on iphone - it could listen to me in the same time as Siri/Dictating app does (that means 24/7). And voice or meta voice data (for example Interests listened from my talking) are going straight to google server, that deliver the ads. That privacy is based on Google app agreement and is same as situation with listening hey google on android phone.

2) Siri or Dictating is listening to me (all the time), that is ok, that is in privacy statement. But the issue is: How are my requests (or any data from my voice even if I am not talking straight to iphone or watches) are associated with a random identifier and handed over to google that is targeting me directly.

My Hey siri is off, my adds based on my interests are off, hey google is off. How is possible that tagets my google acount based on what i sad to my friend 5 minutes ago on lunch break?

My commands or dictating to message are not ads targeted BUT my indirect all day voice is perfectly targeted by google ads. That cant be anonymously identified, because on the end are ads based on what I sad (to my friend on lunch for example) in my webbrowser (where iam logged with my google/gmail account). I say "mercedes", it gives me mercedes banner on home page in 5-10 minutes.

Could you tell me the name of the data (voice, or meta from voice), which are handed to google? They are obviously not anymore anonymous. Data that delivers my Interests

What is the name of Data I have to ask Apple for? Data for ask to download? It is not provided by default.

Thank god that everything that is connected to EU GDPR.

Is there any setting I shoud change to avoid giving a random identifier to what I say 24/7 ? I realized that is just switch off Dictating and Siri. Is it true?

Excuse me for my english, me and my iphone even all the settings are in czech language :-)

Thank you for your care.

Ok, I respect your opinion - I would ask what exactly is not happening? Maybe I am not using the exactly the right words. The issue - We tested it, it has been proven many times. The question is how keep the ability to dictate messages on AW and just not been listened for 24/7.

I am asking what is the key setting to stop listening me 24/7 (for example on android it is switching off "hey google"which deliver ads from listening).

I am asking what is the official name of data used for setting my Interests, then sent to google.

I would like a copy of the apple GDPR data - obviously we are talking about my all day indirect voice. (Recording when it is listening, listening for command)

Maybe there is a mistake in my setting of Google app. It somehow guessed my interests based on what I said 5-10 minutes ago. Not even to any message or siri, and put it in to google ad on banner into my gmail logged webbrowser.

Try it :-)

- Have logged gmail account in iphone, switch on Dictating or Siri, log to your Chrome web browser (or just gmail) with gmail and go anywhere where google ad is. Tell the few things to your wrist and enjoy reloading the page with google ads. The key reason of ad is Guess of Interests - that delivers the "Listening" results. (Try say investment, realestate, tesla, mercedes or lenovo, etc - and if you has dictating or hey siri ON you could have fun with reloading the google ad).

Thanks for your time.
