I’m using the same gmail (as recovery email) that i’m using in youtube and instagram. I was talking to someone using conversations about removing ads from smart tv, and when i logged to youtube after, found a vid about it. This was the second time, the first time was instagram, similair thing.

Update: I replaced my recovery email with proton and Big AND, deleted knox matrxi. No more suggestions. I think it was knox matrix.

    Yeah but i thought that if I put my gmail as a recovery email in conversations it will be used as a fucking recovery email, not to share messaging infos

      Correct me if I’m wrong, but Conversations is just a client, right? So if your server or your friend’s server is run by or backed by Google, they have the messages.

      XMPP is not end to end encrypted, so whatever server you use, unless you own it, will have access to your messages. If that’s something you’re not comfortable with, you can run your own server or use an E2EE messenger.
