How activity works

Manage audio recordings in your Web & App Activity

You can choose whether you want Google to save an audio recording to your Google Account when you interact with Google Search, Assistant, and Maps. Your audio can help Google develop and improve its audio recognition technologies and the Google services that use them.

The audio recordings setting is off unless you choose to turn it on.

Turn audio recordings on or off

  1. Go to yourย Google Account.
  2. At the left, clickย Data & privacy.
  3. Under “History settings,” clickย Web & App Activity.
  4. Next to “Include audio recordings,” check or uncheck the box.

When the audio recordings setting isย off, voice inputs from interactions with Google Search, Assistant, and Maps won’t be saved to your Google Account, even if you’re signed in.ย If you turn the audio recordings setting off, previously saved audio is not deleted. You canย delete your audio recordingsย at any time.

Other places audio recordings may be savedย 

The audio recordings setting does not affect other Google services (like Google Voice or YouTube) that you may use to save audio information.

Depending on other device settings, audio recordings may still be saved on your device. For example, if you turn on Voice Match, audio recordings may be saved on your device to help recognize your voice.

On-device audio can be used to improve audio recognition technologies on the device. Those improvements can be sent to Google, without audio recordings, to help develop and improve audio recognition technologies and the Google services that use them, for example, when the Improve Gboard setting is on, Gboard can improve recognition for everyone without sending what you say to the server.
