We are seeing the same thing. More so, my wife sent me a picture of my daughter working on a puzzle. Less than 24 hours later, her Instagram was showing ads for a store that was selling the same type of puzzle as the one my daughter was playing with. So it's not just terms but images too.
- napolux 4y agoputting on my tinfoil hat yup, do you think all these img recognition stuff is made for fun? companies wants to use them to read our pics on your phones and profile us
- nso 4y agoWas the picture taken with whatsapp, or with the camera app? Do you have google photos installed? I GP classifies images, maybe also for advertisement?
- rreyes1979 4y agoShe used the WhatsApp camera app. We have Google photos too, but we have it configured so that WhatsApp images don't get uploaded.
- selwynii 4y agoThe more basic explanation is that she has been served ads for puzzles like that for a while, based on previous history and maybe retargeting from the company and you guys only notice the ad because it's more salient after sending a message with the puzzle in it. There's no reason you'd have noticed an ad about the puzzle in the wash of content and other types of ads.
