A jury in San Jose, California, said on Tuesday that Google misused customers' cell phone data and must pay more than $314.6 million to Android smartphone users in the state, according to an attorney for the plaintiffs.

The company will appeal the payout, which will otherwise go to Android users in California whose cellular data was used to transmit information back to Google for uses like targeted advertising. There’s a similar case going to trial in April 2026 on behalf of users in the other 49 states,

Google was told by a California jury to pay $314 million over claims that it illegally used Android users’ cellular data to collect information without their knowledge.
