Google has been under fire for years now for its alleged spying on users. But now, there’s finally a way to stop it. Google has been under fire for years now for its alleged spying on users. But now, there’s finally a way to stop it. A new report from The Intercept reveals that Google is using secret software to track the movements of millions of people across the globe, including Americans. The software, called Street View, captures images and data from people’s homes and businesses without their consent or knowledge. The report raises serious privacy concerns and calls on Google to stop tracking users immediately. If the company doesn’t comply, we could see a major shift in how Google operates and how we access information online. ..
If you ask Google to tell you the weather, and it starts going on about the upcoming predictions when you simply want to know the temperature outside currently, you can just say “Stop” in the middle of Google talking. This will save you from having to go through the entire process just to get Google to wrap it up so you can move on.

This is the kind of feature that seems like it should have been implemented into Google’s smart speakers and displays from day one, but it’s better late than never. If you’ve ever found yourself listening to an unwanted “Did you know” story from Google, you’ll absolutely love this update.
The new change is rolling out gradually, so you may not be able to tell your Google Assistant to stop just yet. According to 9To5Google, smart displays are seeing the updates first, so if you have a speaker, you may have to wait a little longer to get the feature.
