As the title says, I’m noticing apps like Twitter are giving me ads based on information that only happened in the Messages app. I had a completely random discussion with a contact about caulking and then about an hour later I got an ad for caulk on Twitter. There’s no way that’s coincidence, it’s such a specific topic. Is there anyway to shield the contents of my messages app from being shared with advertisers?

    It’s so frustrating because they go through the effort of creating the Do Not Track feature and I am so diligent about selecting it for every app but apparently even Apple’s own messages app is not safe. My messages should be off limits by default.
