This is the current WhatsApp ad on Reddit stating messages are secure.
A good friend of mine messaged me out of the blue the other day to say he'd changed career from being a truck mechanic and now worked in the engine room of a ship. I replied and we had a brief text conversation about it.
When I opened YouTube about an hour later I was recommended multiple videos of ship engine rooms and how they work.
I have no other connection or interest in the subject and have never been recommended them before – the ONLY plausible way it would be recommended to me would be if that message chain had been read and YouTube had then acquired the data.

Do you have those types of settings turned off on your phone?
Did that conversation happen on android phone and have you used google keyboard?
