Using cheap samsung android phone, ive noticed for the last few years and so have my friends, that whatever we discuss during out signall phonecall, appears very blatantly obvious on my youtube recommended feeds.
I thought Signal was supposed to be private and automatically sandboxed?
If it is, then google clearly bend their own rules and peer into the app.
Does this happen to you? what is the explanation?
PS The Official Signal Reddit sub removed my post thread when I asked this question there.
Whilst I agree that IP search history is used, this isnt relevant here. We are merely talking via speech within the Signal phone app, then when ending the call and loading a youtube video, the recommended carousel will recommend multiple videos pertaining to things ONLY discussed in the call (never searched)
More often than not its trivial things… IE mentioning to a friend the other day that I found a special security screw on the floor outside my house… After ending the call and loading a youtube song, My recommended feed shows numerous videos on special types of security screws… Something I havnt searched in over 3 years. Despite never logging into a google service in years, and good internet hygiene
Another point : The recommended feed on matters discussed during the call dont persist for too long - IE the videos on security screws will be gone within a day, its blatantly obvious tbh.
The instances I refer are too niche to be “coincidences”, more likely Google Violating their own sandboxing rules
Also, I dont have a Wifi Router in my house.
