I just met my new neighbor for the first time, and when we exchanged numbers (by me texting her number) my phone (Pixel 8) showed her full name with a tilde in front of it below the phone number. She’s not in my contacts. Where did it get that name from?

    Huh, interesting! First time I’ve seen that. Then again, I guess it’s the first time I’ve texted someone new in a while…

      My phone started doing this not to long ago, showered a picture and full name and everything. I’m assuming it has to do with Google and Gmail and Google fi which I have. Fuck Google. I never consented to this.
