My wife and I tested this about a year ago. She had FB Messenger installed on her phone, and there were news reports about Messenger listening to you even when it was turned off.
We started talking about something we had never discussed before, never searched before, and never had an interest in (to test the theory), and within 3 days she started getting ads for that thing on Facebook.
They ABSOLUTELY listen in on you even when the app isn't running.
I've seen it with ads before too, but not actually pickup what we were talking about on a phone call together. I'm out of town working. I don't have Facebook or messenger, I got banned back in January.
For those who didn't see the original Q post, Q told us that FB, once installed, can see and hear you 24/7. Even if your phone is off or you delete the app.
I think it's a lot more than Facebook, too. ANY connection to the internet can be monitored by the government. And it gives them even more if the device has a camera/microphone.
I wonder sometimes if the internet itself is a government plant?
This has happened to us when my husband and I were discussing getting new furniture for our family room. My sister and I have "tested" Alexa from various distances in the room to see if "she" is listening to our conversation. LOL She IS!
The FB Messenger app is always listening.

Yeah, I quit facebook last October. It's amazing how freeing it is to not pay attention to social media.
This test is what finally got the wife to delete the apps from her phone (she still uses the FB website though...)
I never put it on my phone or new laptop for that very reason.
But she does have Facebook/messenger

I can not understand why anyone would want to install a device in their home that listens to them and sends the info ---Where?
