Google’s $135 million Android Data Settlement is approaching finalization: Choose your payout method today.

Google has commenced the distribution process for a $135 million settlement concerning a lawsuit about Android data, with claims now available for qualifying users. The lawsuit, which was filed in November 2020, alleged that Google gathered and shared Android users’ cellular data without adequate consent. The settlement is applicable to Android users in the U.S. who utilized cellular data from November 2017 until the final approval date. Users have the option to receive their payouts through PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, ACH, or a virtual card. The anticipated maximum payout for each eligible user is approximately $100, subject to the total number of claims and reductions for administrative costs, taxes, and legal fees. Residents of California are not included in this settlement because of a distinct $314 million lawsuit. The final approval hearing is scheduled for June 23, 2026, and payments will be made if the settlement receives approval.
