Sure. If you actively turn it on, and all involved know it's on. But this is always active as far as I'm aware.

I'm guessing it'll be toggle off, and it'll toggle itself back on every update.

In other words, they're taking your data for their use all the time, and sometimes they'll share your data with you.

    You can have it off and just use the "song search" on the top menu, but yeah. I assume it just keeps itself activated even if you disable it, they just try to be less blatant about catering to you.

    Anecdotally, I've only had lime 2 instances of "google was definitely listening to show me this ad" in the 6 years I've had pixels, and I've seen just as many instances with other phone types. You truly have to go out of your way to avoid the surveillance.
