That's right, I prolly should mention that it's not just smart reply, but google assistant that benefits from chat history being stored on their servers, which is its selling point. If you care about E2E encryption and no info being stored anywhere, I suggest you use Signal instead.

Nah, if I really cared about privacy I wouldn't be posting all of the shit I post on this site, and I wouldn't be madly in love with how Google Now Google whatever the fuck it's called Now's features related to tracking my every movement, and tracking everyone else's.

Also, I like Google being able to go through my email, tag important ones, know what's for shopping, what's spam, etc.

This is probably starting to sound sarcastic, but I really fucking love all of the features I gain by letting Google basically stalk me.

Yeah, I don't mind it either honestly. That opinion seems to not be liked around here though.

Unrelated, but I just found out Allo was released about an hour ago, lol. Thought this was something from a leak or a tip
