A $135 million proposed settlement with Google concerns allegations that Android devices used consumers’ cellular data for background communications without adequate disclosure or consent. The filed motion and official court notice identify Taylor v. Google LLC, No. 5:20-cv-07956-VKD, Northern District of California. Google denies wrongdoing.
The proposed fund is nonreversionary and includes monetary relief and proposed Android, Google Play, and disclosure changes. The proposed class generally covers natural persons in the United States, outside the parallel California Csupo matter, who used an Android device over cellular data from November 12, 2017 through final judgment, subject to the complete court definition.
The response deadline for objections, exclusions, and payment-method selection was May 29, 2026, and has passed. The retrieved primary materials did not independently confirm a final approval order or payment date, so readers should not assume a new claim can be filed or that payments are imminent. The administrator was to use supplied records and outreach rather than a conventional proof-of-purchase claim form.
