So I had a verbal conversation with a coworker yesterday and now I'm getting fed very specific ads. No possible way it's accidental. I have most of the microphone access to apps limited, I have Google assistant turned off and no VPA setup in my home. I use a Oneplus 9 pro, does anyone have recommendations on how to further root cause this or just par for the course for using any standard android OS? Have other folks had similar experience after locking down their stock phones?
Apps only use things like microphone, GPS and camera when the apps are active. Those are the permissions most lenient settings.
Most of these apps are communication apps that need the mic lol, you 100% could have picked better, way more egregious examples.
Just get a Pixel and flash GrapheneOS.
