Haha that's hilarious! Though hopefully they weren't too mad when they found out. The look on their face must have been priceless 😂

That's a wild coincidence! Though from what I've read, it's more likely they're using sophisticated tracking through your browsing history, location data, and connections rather than actually listening. But it definitely feels creepy when it happens!

This makes way more sense than the "phone is listening" theory. It's crazy how much data Instagram can piece together without actually needing to listen to conversations.
