#2It hapenned to me on two different occasions that I've been discussing a topic with a friend (one that I never searched for) that was later shown to me as an ad. In one particular case he told me of metal casted spinners (like the one in Ibception). About two days later I saw an ad for this. I don't believe this could be a coincidence.

#3I have had this happen with my Xiaomi android phone. I've had a couple of times where I get ads served pertaining to conversations I've had with random people when my phone is laying nearby, silently listenting. No googling the topics from my side, simply random conversation.
It even seems to be able to translate conversations in my native language into displaying English ads. Creepy as hell.
I'm thinking of going back to Apple, it's just that their phones as so bloody expensive now. Sigh.

Did he search for them and we're you chatting on Facebook messenger that day?

You probably should believe it.

#6One could shoot everything on a desktop and search for dog toys on another device on the same network/IP. I'd bet the guy is trolling.

He doesn't even have facebook and he said he didn't search for them. We talked in person while hiking, only our phones were in our pockets. I also never had any facebook applications installed on my phone (except WhatsApp). Also I saw the ad about 2-3 days after we had this chat. I should also note that we were talking in Polish.

I'll be the first one to buy a mobile phone with a hardware switch for microphone, cameras and the speaker now.

Same here with a OnePlus android phone. I've been also eying Apple for a while but stuff like disabling Bluetooth for a short period of time puts me off slightly.

I'm afraid not. Usually,some app like facebook is involved. You can search for news articles on the subject and see other people's report as well.
Not only do they collect voice without consent,personal experience tells me they're also sharing it with usgov(not elaborating on that).
