Perhaps to listen in on your voice conversations and serve you ads so relevant its creepy? From a software standpoint, this has never been proven. However, its super weird when it happens to you. For example, I traveled to meet a coworker who was playing a mobile game I had never seen before and we talked about it. I never Googled it or anything like that. Hours later I checked Instagram and the first ad was for the same mobile game. Coincidence? Perhaps the game was simply advertised more in his city than my own? Perhaps our phones being near each other prompted a "friend request suggestion" and then a took that to another level with installed apps? Or just a coincidence and I am thinking too much about it. lol.
