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.

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.

    I don't think that was very clear since other people also assumed you were using it as your account in Conversations.

    A recovery email doesn't really have anything to do with XMPP. Using Google or whatever won't make them be able to read your messages.

    That what i tought, i'm not a bigginer, i know at least how to make a website with a backend. And a direct recommendation of a topic that was talked about in Conversations happend 2 times! That's 2 out of a potential 3 times. First when i got the instagram recomendation i thought my friend searched about the topic on instagram then I got the recomendation, then fucking youtube too? Wtf. And right after i finished the conversation.

    Did you search for anything while having that conversation?

    Then it's probably just a fluke.

    All I can tell you is that Conversations didn't send your messages to Google. The servers you used didn't send your messages to Google, and if you were using OMEMO, they couldn't even they wanted to.
