Google has agreed to a $135 million settlement in a lawsuit alleging that its Android operating system transferred user data without permission, even when devices were idle. The lawsuit claimed these unauthorized data transfers occurred in the background, consuming users' cellular data without their knowledge or consent. To qualify for a portion of the settlement, individuals must be U.S. residents who used an Android device with a cellular data plan at any time since November 12, 2017. An estimated 100 million people are eligible for this settlement, with a final approval hearing scheduled for June 23. Eligible class members will receive payments electronically, though the exact amount each individual will receive has not yet been determined.
