    It’s much easier for apple to have shared the data that your friend watched Telemundo for 24 hours and thus either has a friend with them that speaks Spanish or is learning Spanish

    Or for the Facebook app on their phone to have noticed another app get installed with those details

    Its not the microphone

      If you’re not using a smart TV connected to an apple account or an app on the phone to watch Telemundo the only way they could even have that data is if they fucking recorded it using the microphone of your phone. 🤦‍♂️

      Even if not for nefarious reasons, the mic is always listening for the voice activation prompt for when you want it to listen and talk to you.

        Devils advocate here (for clarity im actually on your side)

        If youre connected to the same network apple can definitely work out you’re friends

        Ah, so it was viewed on cable or similar? Through a service that likely has a deal to sell/share data about ads being viewed where and how?

        Services communicate to each other, thats the entire point of the “your phone isn’t listening to you” thing

        Even if not for nefarious reasons, the mic is always listening for the voice activation prompt for when you want it to listen and talk to you.

        And that data does not go to anything other than the part dedicated to that. Rather than make a decent argument you’re just kinda showing you don’t know what you’re on about my guy
