What about your phone number? Does your therapist have it? Maybe your therapist granted Instagram/Facebook access to her contacts?
Or maybe you yourself granted Instagram access and your therapist is in your phone's contact list?
- rpastuszak 6y agoYup, I don't share my contacts with FB or insta, but I think that she did. I don't blame her, she's not a very "technical" person and the UX is not meant to help her make a conscious choice.
- thatcat 6y agoThere are many other ways this could happen, did you google her address on your phone browser or something like that? IG always seems to give recommendations based on what I've watched on youtube recently or looked up somehow.
- rpastuszak 6y agoI'm using DDG and a browser with 3p cookie blocking so this is less likely, but something might've slipped through cracks.
- disgruntledphd2 6y agoHonestly, it's almost certainly either her uploading her contacts, or location. I know that I normally get FB friend suggestions for people I've been at parties with.
