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.

WhatsApp is definitely E2EE, however they can still collect the metadata. For Telegram I think it’s not even encrypted by default.

Edit: sometimes I should just learn to shut up
