Correction — October 14, 2026. The earlier article confused this case with location-tracking litigation, misstated eligibility, and presented $100 as an expected payment. It also relied on unrelated sources. Those claims and the unverified video have been removed. The original URL and publication date remain for continuity.
The $135 million settlement in Taylor v. Google LLC concerns the use of cellular data. The official administrator's notice identifies the case as No. 5:20-cv-07956-VKD in the Northern District of California.
What the plaintiffs alleged
According to the case FAQ, Android devices transferred information to Google in the background without permission, sometimes using a cellular connection rather than Wi-Fi. The claimed harm was consumption of users' cellular data. Google denies wrongdoing.
That is not the same allegation as continuing to record someone's location after a location setting was disabled. An Android device, a Google account, and a privacy dispute are not enough to identify which case a notice concerns.
Who the notice includes
The notice describes natural persons in the United States who used Android mobile devices to access the internet over a mobile carrier's cellular network from November 12, 2017 through the settlement's final-approval date. It excludes class members in Csupo v. Google LLC, the separate California case identified by the administrator.
Do not replace that definition with “everyone who owned an Android phone.” Nor does the notice say that disabling a location setting establishes eligibility. Check the administrator's full definition for your situation; this article is general information, not individual legal advice.
Why $100 is not a promised payment
The FAQ describes a $100 per-class-member cap, not a guaranteed or estimated check. The amount depends on the net fund and successful payments. Notice and administration expenses, taxes, and court-approved fees and awards also come out of the fund.
Use the administrator's payment instructions rather than an unofficial form promising a fixed amount. This site does not collect settlement claims or determine eligibility.
Check the dated records, not an old countdown
The court-document index now lists a judgment and an order granting final approval. Some administrator summary copy still describes approval as pending. The listed May 29 objection/exclusion date and June 23 hearing date are in the past as of this correction.
We have not verified a distribution date or whether a particular person has been paid. Check the dated court records and administrator updates for those questions instead of treating an old hearing listing as a current deadline.
