GPS and Mic Blocking App

I wanted to ask if there was a way to disable the GPS and Microphone as a default setting?

I saw the demo where you can just say something to the phone and it will respond to your voice. I do not want the darn thing sitting in passive mod listening to background chatter. I also only want the GPS to function when I give it permission.

Are there apps for this or is there an setting to disrupt google from tracking my every move?

You can easily turn off GPS, and I imagine theres an option to disable the search from home as well.


You should note however, the phone is only listening for "OK google", and only while the screen is on and you are looking at either the homepage or in google now
