Telegram's voice-to-text and translation features depend on Google and may not always work correctly — Telegram makes no guarantees about their accuracy or availability.

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision implicates GDPR Articles 28 (processor agreements), 13/14 (transparency about data recipients), and 44-49 (international data transfers, as Google may process data in the US). The SCCs (Standard Contractual Clauses) for EU-US data transfers must be in place. UK GDPR imposes equivalent requirements. The FTC Act Section 5 is engaged if the disclosure of Google's involvement is not sufficiently prominent. (2)
