Your Phone Is Not Listening to You.

Bullshit. Your phone is definitely listening to you, absolutely 100% no doubt about it. It’s obvious if you mention something you’ve never searched for, been interested in, etc., and talk about it near your phone and then see ads for it shortly after.

This happened to a friend of mine just recently. She talked about barbecue grills with a friend in “hearing” range of her phone, something she is totally uninterested in and will never buy (her friend was also not searching for them and had no real interest in them). Thirty seconds later, ads for barbecue grills showed up in her Google searches and on Instagram.

That is not a coincidence.
