I am absolutely glad that, I disable Siri immediately on all of my devices and grateful for the ominous mic-in-use indicator on all apple devices. Android also has a mic in use indicator too, but own only a Pixel to comment on Android in general.

The referenced articles are light on details and appear to be “he said she said they said” and pointing to the same archived blog post from CMG.

That being said, I see a rising popularity of Alexa all over my circle, so no high hopes. Even if I can battle my devices, I can’t battle my family, friends and neighbors from adding Amazon Echo devices everywhere and mindlessly talking to it all day.

Edit: redundancy and typo.
