Has anyone else started watching what you say around your phone?

Even around family, I’ve become paranoid about some of our marine corps conversations, and def any texts
Or am I just crazy?

You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane“

No, I give the government and google a good thrashing at least twice a day.

Not really worried about. But I swear I see adds for things I hadn't searched for yet. Just something I was talking about.

I showed it to someone the other day. They didn't believe it was happening either.

Honestly when I’m talking about something personal I put my phone in a drawer

You do realize that anything with a microphone likely records everything, right?
Have you ever wondered why Facebook comes preloaded on every smartphone and you can't remove it. Even if you don't have a FB account, it's collecting everything.

Today's mobile phones are in fact surveillance devices that can be used to make calls.

I have all that shite turned off. No Siri. No voice activated anything. I don't own any Amazon Echoes or anything like that. It's basically inviting spies into your home with Mics.

If they are listening beyond advertising purposes, you are but one blade of grass in a hundred acre meadow.

It's listening nonstop, even during phone calls. Prior to removing Facebook and Messenger from my phone a (long) while back, I was on a call with no other devices around and had an ad pop up later that day based on the conversation. Removed the app then and there.
ETA: Those apps also track your GPS. A former acquaintance was in town who lived on the West Coast and we ran into each other. Later that day it was suggested that we be "Friends."

My friend is absolutely convinced his android phone listens to him. Its a new example every time I talk to him.

I have no doubt they are listening to conversations and seeing texts. They use it now to target you with what ads you see, but it will be used for more sinister purposes in the future.

I do the opposite. I put my phone down and start saying crap around that you know they don’t want to hear.

Yes
I’m also careful about what I write

Yes and with good reason.
A couple of years ago I had a two minute conversation about a vending machine business. The next day I pulled up ESPN and all the ads were for vending machines. Your iPhone is totally listening to your conversations.
