So....
My phone has now resorted to telling me how long it would take me to drive "back home".....
Problem is.....I can't argue with its projected timescales, it seems very accurate!
My question is......????
How does it know this shit???? LOL!
Emm!!

Your phone knows more about you than you think..
More than one reason it's called a smart phone... -

I received a text from a friend telling me there was a hold up on the M50 and I should leave earlier if going to the airport.
A minute later my phone suggested an alternative route for going to the airport.
I'm convinced a computer somewhere is reading my texts -

There should be an option for this to be just used while using certain apps. It's a killer on the battery.Quote:

Because there is so much activity on both the internet and on phone networks we just disapear into the general chatter and usually there is not problem.
But occasionally you could get caught out. -

Is your smartphone listening to you?
Real “tinfoil-hat" stuff from the BBC.
“Could something "listen in" at will without it being obvious?
...............................................the answer was a resounding yes.”
