I have come to the conclusion that true privacy no longer exists.

Hi richard,
Well to be honest, I saw an article and had a link in the article to the App
Store. So I follow that link. I never actually search in the App Store. So
I'm not sure what you would search under. I don't have the article anymore
sorry. I'm going to delete the app in any case.

Hi Mary,
I just searched the app store and didn't find it.
Could you send the link from the app store?
Thanks,
Richard

Subject: Google assistant comes to the iPhone
They much touted Google Assistant is now available in the Apple App Store.
I downloaded it and opened it, and in order to work at all, you need to
give it permission to access location even when you're not using it. This
is so it can make a so-called private map of where you have been and where
you are when you're using it. So I wonder how much of a toll that is going
to take on Battery Life. And do I really trust Google that t it's private?
Given that they sell data? I was looking forward to certain aspects of
Google assistant. But it seems to be totally crippled unless you give them
permission. I don't see why he couldn't do other things that are not
location dependent.
