It's ad tracking, basically your searches get tracked for products and then they return ads on a lot of websites for the same products. Take for example Amazon, when you search for stuff there later on you will keep getting exposed to adds of those items or similar on Google, Facebook, and most other websites.
Btw Facebook messenger is a horrible app to have
Oh alright, thanks, what's so bad about messenger? I don't really use it all that much, my brother is living in Australia and we just use messenger sometimes if we aren't able to talk, because its very convenient.
When you install you give them a lot of permissions over your information, to go through pretty much anything you have typed
Yes. And if you have the Facebook app on your phone it will record your conversations (not just phone conversations) and give you ads for keywords from your talks.
Oh man, and I've messenger too... Where's all this heading? We won't be able to take a dump soon without someone peeking ffs.
You haven't for -years-
Now there's just more people doing it, less sneakily.
