What is the Google Android Cellular Data Class Action About?
You may be part of a new $314,000,000 class action settlement after a class action lawsuit was adjudicated against Google over allegations that Android smartphones used cellular data in the background to transfer information to Google user permission, resulting in higher cell phone data costs.The open class action lawsuit alleges these transfers could occur without user notice, including when phones were idle with apps closed, and that Google could have limited certain transfers to Wi-Fi but instead designed them to occur over cellular networks too.
The Court held a trial that lasted about a month in June 2025. On July 1, 2025, the jury decided in favor of the people bringing the case and awarded them $314 million. Google does not agree with the decision and says it will appeal. You can check this website for updates, or sign up to get email updates by filling out the Interest Registration Form.
Google denies the allegations and says the transfers provide benefits, are disclosed, and are subject to user controls. The Court has not decided who is right.

First, Google is expected to file an appeal. That means the company is asking a higher court to review the jury’s decision and the $314 million award. Appeals can take many months, and sometimes more than a year, to resolve.While the appeal is ongoing, no money is paid out yet. The damages award is essentially on hold until the appeals process is finished or the parties reach another resolution.
The appeals court could do a few different things. It could uphold the jury’s verdict, reduce the amount awarded, order a new trial, or in rare cases overturn the decision entirely. Most often, the court either upholds the verdict or sends parts of the case back for further review.
At the same time, settlement talks are still possible. Even after a jury verdict, both sides may choose to negotiate a settlement to avoid years of appeals and uncertainty.
If the verdict is ultimately upheld and the case becomes final, the court would then approve a plan explaining who is eligible for compensation, how claims will be filed, and when payments will be issued. That process usually takes additional time after the appeal ends.
For now, the case is in a waiting phase. The most important thing is to monitor updates so you know whether an appeal is filed, how it is resolved, and when any claims process may open.
