What happens when you have a google home, with multiple android users, who all want to be able to use the same google home device?  If someone says "hey Google" will everyone's phone along with the google home respond at the same time?

My SO and I each have an android phone. Our google home is generally good at voice recognition, so we rarely have issues where saying "okay google" would get picked up on both devices.

 

That said, if you say "okay google," your phone will still pick it up. It just knows to let the google home answer instead.

If both of your phones are linked to that Google Home device, can you use the Google Home device to get any information from your SO's phone?  Like I don't want my family members to be able to request any information from my phone just because we all have our accounts on this same Google Home device.

As far as I know, Our phones can't share information across the google home. Google Home isn't able to read texts if that's what you're worried about.

When you configure the smart speaker (be it Google Home or an Alexa-enabled device) you can decide whether or not its' voice commands will allow playback of sensitive information (such as texts, calendar events, or emails) or not, along with whether or not you can make purchases via voice commands.

I thought they used voice recognition to differentiate users automatically?

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.
