      sigh You’re hanging out with your friend, both your phones are in the same location, same wifi, you’re friends on Facebook or whatever.

      So you get ads for things they are interested in. No need to listen to your conversation.

      Don’t you think your friend had searched for baby related things? And Google saw that your devices were in the same area, so they started sending you diaper ads. They didn’t need any audio to make that happen.
