Is apple now reading my keyboard inputs? (lemmy.giftedmc.com)

I‘m a little shocked rn. I am using fluffychat on ios since my legacy iphone is still working and I dont want to throw it out until its done.

But this happened the first time: I wrote „then I might need to take a taxi“ to someone and an installed taxi app immediately popped up via notifications saying „get off 25% today“ or something.

This freaks me out big time since it could mean every word I write on this phone gets checked by something/someone.

Anyone else? (It was literally the second I wrote the sentence)

Had similar experiences. Check my post history. I got shit on by the apple community tho.

I‘m not seeing any posts that suggest you were in a similar situation. Feel free to send a link to the post.

I think they're referring to this https://lemmy.world/post/9384633

Though from my reading of it it seems like they got a pretty clear explanation on the top post about what was going on, it doesn't sound like OP's situation.

I'm very anti-apple, but PeroBasta's post doesn't seem like apple is doing anything weird.

Thats why I didnt see it. The post for some reason didnt show on my instance and then got loaded in between. Lemmy and federation… anyway, I also recognized this recently and my wife actually changed a setting while I was driving and since it disappeared.
