We noticed something quite scary yesterday. A colleagues iPhone 8 displaying an advert, based on things we had been discussing. In this scenario a certain brand of snack food had been discussed and then there was an advert displaying that very product.
A coincidence?
Well yes, if this was a one off, but this has happened several times. In no situation were the items being discussed looked for on the device; and yet adverts are being 'offered' promoting the very products being discussed...
Has anyone else noticed this snoop/advert wear from apple devices?
Makes me a tad paranoid just as to what information these phone makers (and voice-recognition software decoders) obtain and how it's used...
