To close this case, Google reached a $135 million settlement, though the company denies any wrongdoing. However, if you use an eligible device, you might actually be entitled to some of that money. Basically, anyone who has used an Android device from brands like Google, Samsung, and Motorola since late 2017 through today could qualify for a portion of that sum.<\/p>\n<p>All you would need to do after confirming if you&#8217;re eligible is file a claim through the settlement website for the case Joseph Taylor, et al., v. Google LLC, then wait to hear back and determine how much you might receive. If you don&#8217;t know if you meet the criteria, you can review the settlement&#8217;s website and details to figure out if you fall within the right window.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">Who is eligible for payment?<\/h2>\n<p>                        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery-image \" src=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/img\/gallery\/google-is-paying-android-users-135-million-heres-how-to-check-your-eligibility\/who-is-eligible-for-payment-1776801709.jpg\" data-slide-url=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/2154012\/google-android-135-million-settlement-eligibility-explained\/\" data-post-id=\"2154012\" data-slide-num=\"1\" data-slide-title=\"Google Is Paying Android Users $135 Million - Here's How To Check Your Eligibility: Who is eligible for payment?\" width=\"780\" height=\"438\" alt=\"A phone atop a laptop keyboard showing the Google Reviews screen.\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                    <span class=\"gallery-image-credit\">Claudio Borquez Arias\/Shutterstock<\/span><\/p>\n<p>According to the official court notice of settlement, you are eligible as part of the class action lawsuit if you are a natural person in the U.S. who&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/2154012\/google-android-135-million-settlement-eligibility-explained\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google Is Paying Android Users $135 Million https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/2154012\/google-android-135-million-settlement-eligibility-explained\/ Publish Date: 2026-04-21 16:47:00 Source Domain: www.bgr.com&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":234061,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/img\/gallery\/google-is-paying-android-users-135-million-heres-how-to-check-your-eligibility\/l-intro-1776801707.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[70,116,86],"class_list":["post-234060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-google","tag-motorola","tag-samsung"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234060"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=234060"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234060\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":234062,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234060\/revisions\/234062"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/234061"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=234060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=234060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=234060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
