It was revealed that call and sms data on Android phones were sent to Google
According to a new study, call and sms information on Android smartphones is secretly sent to Google. Google's Dialer and Message applications secretly collect user information.
Researchers at Trinity College in Ireland have shared new information. Two Google-owned applications on Android smartphones secretly send users' call and sms information to Google servers. User data is collected through an application called Google Play Services and sent back to Google's Clearcut and Firebase Analytics. Douglas Leith, an expert, said that the giant company does not give users every choice to deactivate these processes. He also said that the texts of SMS messages may have fallen into the hands of Google. It is known that the Google Message application comes installed on Xiaomi, Huawei and Samsung smartphones. This means that in total more than 1 billion users use these applications. It is unknown how much user data Google collects.
