People talking near you could be heard by the assistant and answered as if you had spoken. Voice calls on the phone and on the web now have a mute switch: tap to mute, tap again to resume, and the screen shows how long the microphone has been off. On Android the pause button in the notification uses the same switch. Read-aloud also stopped sending text to voices that speak only another language, and Auto now reads aloud with ElevenLabs voices.
