Q: My Google search inquiry popped up on my Mac as an iMessage notification! Privacy Concern
Hi everyone,
I hope you're all well I searched "queen bed dimensions" on my Macbook, and seconds later, my husbands iMessage notification popped up on the top right (like all iMessages do), and his message was "Google search: queen bed dimensions." Creepy.
Before anyone concludes my husband is some weird telepathic magician who accurately guessed my search inquiry, my phone doesn't show this in our texting history and neither does my Mac. Perhaps it may helpful to know that were were texting back and forth before and after I conducted the search.
This is a privacy issue...iMessage should in no way be linked to my browser and know what I type in there.
Any insight or personal experience with this creepy issue would help.
Thanks,
Divya
