I mean, it technically is listening for the wake up words, like "Ok Google," but nothing is transmitted when in that mode. Only when the wake up word is uttered, then a network connection is established.
I read an article about an independent auditor making these tests and writing about the results.
Of course, and to be fair, the devices' behavior may have changed recently. But I haven't heard anything about it yet.
Having said that, since we're talking about the mute button, someone else already mentioned that the mute feature is hardware-based.
No, the microphone literally stops converting sound to electrical signals in that mode. The mute button causes a hardware disconnect; if the mute light is on, the microphone is literally unpowered.
Which is what I mentioned in my very last sentence, yes.
