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

1.12K 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.

Wouldn’t matter if you did. Apps listening to you is a myth. Debunked many times. Your phone does not record, process, and upload audio 24/7. Your battery would be toast if it did, not to mention your cellular data usage.
