Latest News About Google Class Action Lawsuit

Updated 2026-05-27 01:03

Here are the most recent major Google-related class action developments I’m seeing reported:

Android cellular-data tracking settlement (about $135M)

A proposed $135 million settlement would (per reporting) provide monetary and injunctive relief for Android users whose cellular data may have been collected for Google’s targeted advertising, with preliminary court approval reported in early March 2026.[1] Reporting also indicates there are deadlines for class member requests/exclusions/objections, including a May 29, 2026 date mentioned in the coverage.[1]

Google privacy tracking despite “tracking off” (about $425M)

A prior class action reached a significant milestone when a federal jury (reported in September 2025) found that Google should pay $425 million over allegations that it continued collecting data after users disabled a tracking feature.[2]

Google Assistant “recording without consent” settlement (about $68M, pending approval)

Another item flagged in late January 2026 is a proposed $68 million settlement in a class action alleging Google Assistant-enabled devices recorded conversations without consent; reporting says it was pending federal judge approval.[3]

If you tell me which category you care about most (Android data, Google account tracking/privacy, or Google Assistant/recordings), I can summarize the key claims, who’s eligible (if stated), and the latest procedural status from the most relevant reports.
