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.

    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?

      No, i don’t even have gms and samsung apps (using samsung), no ai. The only google apps i have left are android system apps that if i removed my system will break. And the only samsung apps i have are settings, clock, camera and UI stuff

        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.
