When I turn my phone's microphone off and say "hey Google" my phone doesn't respond in the slightest. Much more comforting.

If you really think your phone not responding means your phone is not listening ...

If you're tech-savvy, or are friends with someone who is, Run an open-sourced custom ROM on your smartphone. Problem solved.

Interesting, thank you!

If you have/get a Pixel you don't even need to be tech-savvy. You literally just plug the phone into your PC, navigate to the Graphene webpage and click "install" right in the browser.

I didn't say that, I said it's more comforting. Unfortunately I need my phone for work so I can't run a de-googled rom so it's good enough for me. And I never see ads referencing things I talk about.

I don't understand, how does running a degoogled rom stop you from using the phone for work?

I also use my phone for work (company profile, apps, 2fa etc) and it works fine on GrapheneOS.

I LOVE GRAPHENEOS

There are 2 apps I use that won't work on graphine. I've been trying on my second phone and I can't make it work.

What apps? Some require some compatibility options to be enabled, Waze for example.
