Sadly, I can't tell if you're kidding. But I suspect I'm missing out of a fortune in the custom tin-foil hat business.
WhisperSync works fine, if not a little confusing. What I'm referring to is that Alexa answered on my phone... To my wake word, even though I had closed the Alexa app.

Usually when I invoke her from my phone, I do it in the Alexa app by tapping the Alexa Circle Icon and just speaking without using the wake word. This time my phone was listening for my wake word and responded, exactly as if it was an Echo device.

I don't want my phone to be an Echo device, I want it to be a Google Assistant device (which works quite well). And I don't want it to be a Bixby device either, but that's a different tread (The Vent and Rant Thread)
