> “My voice to text was being stored as well as any search my kids did, and I could say ‘sure my daughter was searching on Google,’ but my phone uses Safari. When I used my texting app on my iPhone, it recorded my voice, as well as typing out the words and saving it on my Google Drive,” said Brette Hay, the Ely’s daughter and a teacher at Pershing Middle School.

If it's possible to get voice recordings out of the iMessage app from a separate app (shouldn't be possible from an iMessage app either) this would be a major security hole and Apple would be pissed at google for doing it.

This is almost certainly a misunderstanding of what's actually going on.
