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.

Did you search for anything while having that conversation?

Notifications with full message contents?

[-] gog@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

We were both in the chat window, no notifications.

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.

Thnks, maybe the leak is from my sys apps

Very possible. Android works in shady ways.
