a phone is such a private thing these days: it feels to me like an extension of my thoughts.... I would be mortified if anyone I know found the stuff I look at.

some of the things I think my phone knows:

im a middle aged mum.
I have a huge crush on Carl barat from the libertines
im a complete hypercondriac

what about you?

My phone knows:

I do matched betting
Every home in my local area currently for sale, especially the ones I could never afford
That I like watching gaming videos as much as beauty vlogs
That I really like political podcasts

Stylishkidintheriot · 12/06/2022 13:57

@glamourousindierockandroll love your username: does your phone know that you love flicking through a thrift store tambourine

my phone also knows about every house for sale in the local area: and must be under the impression that I can afford houses in random parts of the uk that are over £1m

Magazine!

My phone knows that I;

  • spend far to long on MN chat forums... even though I'm not a mum
  • spend hours playing a stupid game that is completely pointless
  • that my life is pretty dull 😆 but I'm happy with that!
Ahhhhhbisto · 12/06/2022 14:05

My phone also knows every property out of budget in my area.
And that i google useless fact on an hourly basis!

that I have an AU fantasy starting with 14th-century English-Welsh relations
that I live vicariously through my children

my phone (via spotify ) knows that I have a huge love of the music of Ralph Vaughan Williams.
My family have no.idea that I listen to lots of classical music these days.

Stylishkidintheriot · 12/06/2022 14:09

My phone knows the inside of my mouth very well! I had a root left in from a tooth removal recently and the piece is working it’s way out. It’s the wrong angle to see so I’m always taking pictures 😂

Howappropriate · 12/06/2022 14:30

That my topic on Mastermind would be gender critical employment tribunals March-June 2022. Not the only one here 😀

You were almost there, tambourine ends the next line! My phone also knows I often search song lyrics 🤣

supertedlasso · 12/06/2022 14:41

That I need constant reminders to do whatever it is I've forgotten to do. I love an app with a "nag me repeatedly" (real name 😂) function.

Fridaysgirl17 · 12/06/2022 14:45

My phone knows that I'm an almost 40 year old mom of 2 boys.
I love cherry twizzlers (order them online regularly)
I shop way too much online 🤦🏻‍♀️(mostly for others) 🥴

Keladrythesaviour · 12/06/2022 14:48

That I have a really disturbed sleep pattern and am regularly awake at 3/4am-6am despite going to bed at 12.30 and getting up at 7.

BashfulClam · 12/06/2022 14:54

It listens. Mention something obscure then see what ads come up later. I mentioned buying binoculars to DH. I didn’t look them up I just said for sone of our trips it would be really good to have some….guess what adverts popped up!

FelicityFlops · 12/06/2022 15:08

Very little as I do the vast majority of my surfing on Mac Book or iPad.
It sometimes knows that I log in to work as I have to authenticate myself using biometrics, but I can do this either on the phone or on the iPad, whichever is closest to hand.

Sleepingsatellite1 · 12/06/2022 15:11

How much I weigh

Kenneldogsrock · 12/06/2022 15:18

@Howappropriate me too.

that I gamble on the horses at the weekend
i love 80’s and 90’s music

Sparklingbrook · 12/06/2022 16:04

When my period is due so it can remind me.
My Spotify playlist which is very random.
Also my photo gallery is very random as I screenshot pictures all the time just if I like them.
Everywhere I have driven to lately.

deedledeedledum · 12/06/2022 16:40

That a waaaaay filthier than anyone would possibly imagine 😉

stripesorspotsorwhat · 12/06/2022 16:42

It knows that I know (and have the phone number of) a very famous person.

Lurleene · 12/06/2022 16:46

I was looking for a film to rent earlier and my phone suggested that I would like Psycho 2 , Pirates of the Caribbean, The Terminator and The Greatest Showman. I felt like my phone didn't know me at all!😪

Stylishkidintheriot · 12/06/2022 19:08

@stripesorspotsorwhat do tell (or give us a clue)
