Using cheap samsung android phone, ive noticed for the last few years and so have my friends, that whatever we discuss during out signall phonecall, appears very blatantly obvious on my youtube recommended feeds.

I thought Signal was supposed to be private and automatically sandboxed?

If it is, then google clearly bend their own rules and peer into the app.

Does this happen to you? what is the explanation?

PS The Official Signal Reddit sub removed my post thread when I asked this question there.

Signal itself is secure. Though if there’s something running on your phone reading your typing/screenshots, all the encryption in the world won’t help.

Its primarily google services that reveal they are spying, via there recommended suggestions.
