I don't have an android phone, don't use other products than 'search', 'maps' and 'docs', if there are 'dark pattern' 'do you want to turn your search history on' in those products that randomly pop up to trap unsuspecting users then I will discount those as not being valid. One thing I'm sure of: I never consciously re-enabled my search history, if google wishes to swindle people that's entirely their problem but I highly doubt that such practices are ethical, assuming they are legal.
