install tiktok (if you do not have it) and disable everything, no mic/camera/photos/contacts/… nothing. then ask you partner/friend/… to send you some text messages about purchasing an ebike for instance. open safari and do some searches for ebikes (https://blue.bike https://blue.bike perhaps and others)… the head on over to tiktok and scroll a bit and see if any ebikes start showing up…

- scarface_74 2y agoSo you think there a conspiracy and that TikTok for iOS has been able to break out of its sandbox and read your text messages? This would have made news if so.
- monocularvision 2y agoYou do realize that it was the “open safari and do some searches for ebikes” step that causes you to get the ads in TikTok, right?
