Eli5: Why does tiktok know when I’ve downloaded a new game on my PS5?

921 views

Downloaded Hunt: Showdown, and tiktok immediately started showing me videos of the game. Didn’t speak the name out loud, didn’t text about it to anyone, didn’t google anything about it. Does Sony share info with tiktok, or could it have recognized the soundtrack of the game through my mic or something?

Edit: the phone is never on the wifi where the console is, so it’s not that.

Tiktok is extremely intrusive. Get it off your phone.

It reports on other devices on your home network, and has access to everything on your phone.

They’re about 20 way TikTok could have found out that information with the permissions you accepted.
