    I have such a hard time believing it’s not a phenomenon. I know coincidences happen, but mannn

      I’ve been advertised things that my wife has talked to me about that i otherwise have no interest in. I absolutely believe my phone is listening.

        Your wife probably searched them online. The advertisers got your public IP address to display ads of what was searched. It’s so subtle and people leave digital bread crumbs everywhere that it gives the appearance that the phone is listening to you.

        Truth be told it’s more processing power and work to stream and auto transcribe everyone’s audio from their phone. It’s effortless to just scoop up all search and purchase data.
