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.

        Anything that’s fully end-to-end encrypted and trustworthy. So, Signal, iMessage, and ProtonMail (but only to other ProtonMail users) come to mind. WhatsApp and Telegram are supposedly E2EE, but I don’t trust them.

          Yeah but i thought that if I put my gmail as a recovery email in conversations it will be used as a fucking recovery email, not to share messaging infos

            Correct me if I’m wrong, but Conversations is just a client, right? So if your server or your friend’s server is run by or backed by Google, they have the messages.

            XMPP is not end to end encrypted, so whatever server you use, unless you own it, will have access to your messages. If that’s something you’re not comfortable with, you can run your own server or use an E2EE messenger.

              XMPP is not end to end encrypted, so whatever server you use, unless you own it, will have access to your messages.

              Almost every current XMPP client, including conversations, supports OMEMO E2E encryption by default.

                  Hmm. Ok, then the likelihood Google was monitoring anything is pretty low. Unless they were monitoring your screen or your microphone. Do you have any AI screenshot features enabled?

                  If OMEMO was on, then Google didn’t read your message. Also now you say you weren’t using your Google account but a server from jabber.network? How about your interlocutor? If both of you were using an account for a random server on the jabber.network list, then Google wasn’t reading your messages, even with OMEMO turned off.
