I’m using the same gmail (as recovery email) that i’m using in youtube and instagram. I was talking to someone using conversations about removing ads from smart tv, and when i logged to youtube after, found a vid about it. This was the second time, the first time was instagram, similair thing.

Update: I replaced my recovery email with proton and Big AND, deleted knox matrxi. No more suggestions. I think it was knox matrix.

      Ok. I’d say the likelihood it was a coincidence is pretty high then, but not 100%. We can’t really know all of what Google is monitoring when you use an Android phone, since their code on top of AOSP is closed source. It sounds unlikely that this was because of active monitoring though.
