But that’s the funny thing, your phone is so worried about you dying single that it’s like ladki na mili toh kya huwa, aur bhi options available hai. 🤣

At least it’s Aftab. I was bitching about Abhishek Bachan once (verbally) and next thing you know, my entire feed had his head popping up staring at me like:

How on earth it is possible? I mean can they hear what we talk about? Damnnn. 🙄

Because that I know ke all apps follow each other 😒

yes they are listening, and using keywords for targeted advertisement.

Once I told my friend to look for a Groupon for hair cut.. same day within few hours I got an email from Groupon for haircut…

At a wedding I asked a friend where she got her outfit, she told me the name. I was like nice, I’ve never heard about them. And next day I got an email from that brand…

the list is endless…

Even things I don’t talk about, just think about… they start popping up on my screen… it’s cray cray

So, I need to stop bitching about people on phone with my mom? 😯🤣🤣

That's creepy though...

One more question, how do they listen? From where?

Smart phones. Smart speakers…

Now everything is “smart” anyway… who knows where our data is being sold…

now voice recognition is being introduced. I read about it years ago that even people who ditch smartphones wil be able to tracked via using microphones of other people around them… i thought what a joke… the jokes on me now… 🤷🏻‍♀️

does anyone has Kinect? The gaming thing with Xbox… this is what it was capable of in 2013, “Kinect will now be able to hear and understand two people talking at once, even detecting whether mouths are open in a dark room. The new capabilities work alongside improvements to Kinect that allow it to track thumbs, 25 joints of up to six people, and heart rates by scanning a face.”

Samsung admitted that the data collected from user is sent to a third party for “translation” purposes…

thing are getting more freaky and more black mirror territory every single day

Instagram is the one spying on you. FB has been sued because they use the front camera and microphone to listen in on people so they can collect data to target personalised ads at you. This is why I have not only uninstalled that useless app, but I've also disabled my microphone and camera. I only switch them on when I need to. These companies creep me out. The last straw was when I was discussing a specific niche bra company with my sister (one that I had never heard of till that morning) and guess what was the first ad I saw on IG 🙃

I remember a couple of years ago, there was a guy on this forum complaining about why he can see adverts for weed everywhere...

I’m surprised to see people here don’t know that your apps and phones track everything you do and say.

Your insta is tracking your activities and also selling your data everywhere Billi ji.

This is very old news.

Yes, they definitely listen! This has happened to me more than once. Where I never googled a particular subject but simply talked about it - next thing I know I'm recommended a video on it/ad on it. It's super creepy.
