    All three can listen for wake words. All offer microphone mute buttons. Apple collects the least data. Google uses data for ad targeting. Amazon uses data for shopping recommendations. Review privacy settings in each app.

    All-Apple household: Siri + HomePod. Smart home focused: Alexa + Echo. Google services user: Google Assistant + Nest. You can mix ecosystems — many people use Alexa for smart home and Siri on their phone.
