Your Smartphone Is Spying On You by SpeedyPuff: 8:52am On Jul 29, 2022 |
I know what you're thinking, cookies from websites I visited are following me around. But trust me, that's not the case. I didn't do any online search, whether on Google or socials. My first vivid experience was a few weeks ago. I was talking about getting a new laptop. Only talk o. I didn't use Google search to research laptops, neither did I visit any website or social media handle for computers and gadgets. Next thing I see on IG are adverts from laptop vendors starting with HP. But I didn't get mad. Then just yesterday, I was arguing with my brother about ergonomic chairs, saying I can't continue using the chairs in the house cos they cause back pain while ergonomic chairs help to reduce it. I was like "make money come make I go buy office chair". That's where the office chair matter died o. Then I woke up this morning to see office chair ads on my IG. Wallahi I haven't searched for this thing online before (I even checked my browsing history, no result.) This shit is scary. The only explanation for this is that my phone (the mouthpiece especially) is spying on me. Has anyone had a similar experience before? 9 Likes |

Use to have a picture of Mark Zuckerberg in one of his office with the mic and Webcam of his computer both shut off with tapes. They know very well that they mine people's data all over the world. Smart TV is not left out from their mining tools. Google map street images will leave you astonished on how they gather close images of people and houses without even those in the view knowing they are being captured. The angles you get if you tilt the images very well will make you know this are not satellite images, but drone like images. They are policing the world with technology, but God pass Dem! 13 Likes |

I priced a blackmagic 4k at that mega plaza after banex after i bought my phone and set it up their. When i got home i opened my chrome the first ads was some cheap drones from jumia and konga. The second day was ads about laptops. I made a call with the guy i bought my phone from if he can consider my bargain regarding the cam.. Omo the next morning on my chrome the ads that welcomed was camera placement from jiji, i started sliding through and i found a blackmagic 2.5k placement.. I was shocked sha. I suspected my sim card though cause that was the only old component on my phone and i searched all those things in my former phone. Could this shit be real? |

This guys now know where I have been. They know where I went last january They are monitoring all my movements and chats. Google photos have all my photos Gmail knows my acct balance through bank alert Maps know Where I went Playstore knows what I downloaded and deleted They know who you called Hey, they even know when you fall asleep and when you wake up |

Have you guys thought of "Okay Google" or "Hey, Siri"? You use your voice to set alarms, reminders, ask about the weather, etc. This should tell you your phone can hear you speak and is able to pick random words and sentences even when you're not speaking directly to it. The reason you see ads of things you talked about at a point in time. Many a time i'll be having a discussion and my phone will respond to my voice on something I said even though it isn't close to me. 3 Likes |
