I've heard similar stories many times but every time it seems to be baader-meinhof effect/frequency illusion or that the linking is not via audio but something else. People have man-in-the-middle checked advertising traffic to see if they either stream audio or send spoken keywords to ad servers and they do not seem to do that. It's more likely that it saw your phone and your friends at similar locations and your friend had searched for the brand before, therefore linking your ad profile to the brand.
Do you think the apps on your phone real-time stream all mic audio or that they run speech-to-text on your device?
- colordrops 5y agoWould it have to be audio? It could do TTS on the phone then send the text back.
- SahAssar 5y agoI said "run speech-to-text on your device". Also TTS would be the other way around as it means text to speech.
- colordrops 5y agoSorry I meant STT
- eloisius 5y agoThat's almost scarier. Seems like it could leak embarrassing information about what you've been searching or buying to your friends.
- SahAssar 5y ago> it could leak embarrassing information about what you've been searching or buying to your friends. Yes. Say no to tracking, regardless of if it listens to your voice. Even if it does not leak this way it's probable that one of the major ad brokers will leak data in the future.
