Ok, so let me summarise everything I showed you in this article to find my recordings on Android. Open the file manager. Get into the internal storage, then tap on the music folder. Now you must tap on recordings and select classic recordings to discover all your recorded voices.

To put it shortly, yes. Your phone is technically always listening. Google Assistant is always active so it can pick up the 'wake words' it's programmed to recognize and start carrying out voice commands. This doesn't mean Google ignores everything else you say.

When this voice and audio activity setting is on for your Web & App Activity, Google will save audio recordings when you interact with Google Search, Assistant, and Maps, in your Google Account. Audio is saved when your device detects an activation.
