I was on signal a few weeks ago, having a conversation about a very unique and obscure subject. When I closed the app and opened my browser I was inundated with advertisements about the subject I was just discussing. That was the first time something like that has happened with signal, but it was disconcerting.
Clipboard hijack and keyboard spying are common on android.
Definitely seems that way, and they're Definitely using the mic to listen. I've seen too many things i am talking about just pop up on my ads, within minutes sometimes.
Was it a txt message conversation or was it a voice call?
Remember that Google/Apple are always listening to the mic feed on you phone as well as countless third party apps. Signal claims to be secure but your phones mic is definitely NOT secure.
It was text. That is what worried me. I've been using signal since before it was called signal and this is the first time I've noticed anything like this happen.... but once is enough
It was a txt conversation. I have been noticing more and more lately that any random thing I talk about immediately results in me receiving ads directed at me about said topic. Shit is unsettling. I try not to talk about important shit around my phone.
