      I had a discussion about high-end coffee machines and looked one up on phone (not buying one!). Only FB app on phone is WhatsApp. Went on computer (guest mode on chromebook) to Facebok and I saw the very very very first high-end coffee maker ad in my life. Any plausible path?

      Browser. I actually track my Facebook ads and separate Facebook on a different, non-logged in computer. Nobody had looked up about coffee machines. (Hard to explain but I am sure). I separate machines carefully to rule out all this stuff. I have "limit ad tracking" set for IDFA.

          I mean coincidence can never be ruled out, but I have set things up exactly to rule everything else out. Facebook is on a separate Chromebook in guest mode in non-logged in Chrome and has never been logged in from any other device, and never from the Phone. (Though has WhatsApp).

          Were you logged in to anything on the phone? A 3rd party website that you're logged in to could've identified you, and they could look the search through time.

          Would be interesting if you had an Instagram account and see if same thing happened with it...just the 3 FB-owned apps
