    We will test again tonight. Pick another topic that we‘ve never discussed, searched for, considered buying. I’ll report back

    Her privacy settings DO give Instagram mic access, phone was LOCKED. My phone, also present, is NOT delivering similar ads.

    The problem with this test is any replies on Twitter might also feed the targeted ad machine.

      I’d like to believe that. I really would.

      It's more that I trust Apple to not provide the ability for apps to use the microphone without the user's permission. That's especially true when the phone is off and the app is in the background, there's just no way for the app to use the mic.

      Also, the phone was locked and probably face down, so even if the orange dot came on, who’d see it? I read the article. We will pick a totally random topic tonight. Word from a dictionary. Let’s see what happens.

      iOS. And that’s theoretically true, but how far do you trust Facebook?

      out of curiosity, does she have an Android or iPhone? There's no way an iOS app can use the microphone without the little orange dot appearing.

      Sure, but I’ll be sure to pick a topic not discussed in this thread. There’s plenty of stuff to buy 😊
