Latest News About Google Class Action Lawsuit

Here are some of the latest major Google class action updates showing up in news coverage as of 2025–2026:

Android cellular data settlement (about $135M)

A $135 million class action settlement for Android users has received preliminary court approval (reported as granted on March 5, 2026), with the case focused on allegations that Google tracked or collected cellular data used for advertising purposes. Reported deadlines include May 29, 2026 for certain settlement-related requests/objections (depending on how the notice is administered).[2]

Gmail / privacy verdict under appeal (about $425M)

A federal jury decision reported in September 2025 found Google must pay $425 million in a privacy-related class action tied to allegations about collecting data from users who had disabled a tracking feature. That decision is described as under appeal in later reporting, meaning payout timing and outcomes can change.[3]

Google Assistant “recording conversations” settlement (about $68M)

Google and Alphabet were also reported to have agreed to a proposed $68 million settlement in a class action alleging Assistant-enabled devices recorded conversations without consent. This was described as pending judge approval in coverage from late January 2026.[4]
