I am happy this was brought up. I have been approached by companies to add in "SDKs" of this sort. They usually offer to pay you per user. When you have scale, these companies while the app is open can scan for other media they need to link. I have witnessed iOS apps processing web ads, tv stations and radio ads. The freakiest was watching the software understand a tv show was playing, detect which show, then off a competing ad in the app.
It is quite amazing what a phone can absorb while sitting in a living room with a loud tv blaring (which is most of america).

- chinathrow 11y agoPlease name and shame these companies. Thank you.
- eclipxe 11y agoFacebook has a feature that allows to detect what you're watching or listening to when you post a status update. No secret or conspiracy there.
- a3n 11y agoOK, but how do they present it? As a benefit to users? Or as a benefit to advertisers?
- wahnfrieden 11y agoIt's opt-in.
- eclipxe 11y agoWhen you saw the iOS apps doing this, did they display the red "Recording" indicator bar at the top?
