My iPhone hears my thoughts

These are a few times I thought about something, and did NOT say it out loud or type it anywhere. These are ALL occurrences of random thoughts/items, that are NOT something I’d usually think, talk about, interact with, or search on my iPhone. There have been lots of occasions like these, but these stood out the most, as they’re definitely not things that are regular in my life, or that my phone could predict so specifically.

2018, I was in McDonald’s, working as an Uber eats delivery driver. The girls in there were always acting boujie because I’d make conversation with them. I wanted a way to say “I’m not interested” without saying it directly. So I thought about getting an engagement ring, just to wear at work. 10 minutes later, I opened my phone and there it was on Instagram… An advert for engagement rings. Myself, and no one I knew was getting married or talking about marriage the time. It made no sense.

2019, I was moving out of my mums house as I’d temporarily been living there before Covid hit. As I’m packing my car, I thought about my suit, I wondered to myself if I still needed a suit, as I’d not worn one in years, and I didn’t ever need to wear a suit. I packed it into my car anyway. About an hour later, I check my phone and there it is on Instagram… an advert for suits.

2025, I was laid on my bed looking at the durag pinned to my wall, something I bought after I had my hair transplant in June 2023. However, I hadn’t worn it since August 2023. I glanced over, and thought about using it for a character in a project I’m working on. About an hour later… there it is, an advert on Instagram selling durags. This is not something you’d think to send me an advert for, as I have only worn a durag for years, or talked or typed about them.

I wondered if anyone else had experiences like these..?
