Not only google but every app that contains ads that we just hit the agree button without reading it.

They're like that and I don't know how do they call that but it's like an algorithm and everything that our phone hears from us, it's quick to register for those ads and they'll show to our feed.

The same goes for search for our PCs, whatever we search, there's the algo for the ads that will eventually come out later on.

I think google is spying on us ,when our phones are in the room

I was talking about something a few minutes ago , and when i opened youtube , i got an ad on the video ,about the same thing i was talking about ...how do they know ? if not spying ...

Do you guys noticed same precise ads on your devices also ? Like they know what you want,need etc ....do you get that feeling "how did they know ?"

If you watch Snowden. Than you will get an idea how our privacy is been exposed on the computers and internet. In this world of internet and 3G and 4G.
Nothing is personal. This getting the same ads is also coming from your internet fiber cable - whatever you see and search you get ads of it. It's very common.
If you are worried - then keep phone away from your bedroom.

What were you talking about?
Maybe you have previously searched in Google or Youtube by using keywords around the topic you were talking about and Google/Youtube are sending you relevant ads? It's obvious that Google is tracking our browsing and web activities, but using our smartphones as spying tools seems a little bit exaggerated. I know that they have the power and ability to do so, but what's the point? Nowadays almost everyone has a Google account/Youtube account and uses Chrome browser on an Android device. If it becomes too obvious that Google is spying on us, many people would just delete their Google accounts and root their Android devices. It's not that the Google alternatives aren't as bad as Google.
Do you think that Apple won't spy on it's customers? Privacy is something utopian in the current digital world.

May be may not be well i have very fixed Openion on it as i don't know how people think that Anything is Private in the Digital World, if you consider my Openion Privacy is a Myth in the current era,

Spiesare in our pocket as Smartphone,
No malwar required, Watsapp, Games,Facebook, Insta YouTube is the enemy to your privacy and it is obvious as well as you better know that DATA is everything in digital world so they eat your data and let you ise the internet.

And you realize it now? Well, better late than never. Yes, google does not spy, and it is best to take precautions, as mk4 comments. There is a growing business, which is on its way to becoming the biggest business in the world and that is data.

Do you guys noticed same precise ads on your devices also ?

Yes, many years ago the same thing happened to me that has happened to you now.

This isn't anything that new, though a lot of people are still clueless about this.

There's a reason why when using Android devices, it's highly recommended to flash a privacy-friendly custom ROM such as LineageOS[1], GrapheneOS[2], or CalyxOS[3]. Unfortunately only select phone models are supported though.
