Does Instagram have access to my text messages?

Today, I got a text from someone and he mentioned he needed to find a printer and was getting quotes for a red decal.

When I went on Instagram, I saw an ad from a local screenprinter. Never seen one from them before. Is this coincidence? It stuck me as fairly suspicious.

We all have these examples. Yesterday I was merely telling a friend across the table about bridge loans. Only time I’ve verbalized the phrase in last year yet top of Instagram after was an ad for bridge loans.

Then what causes all these examples? I've seen this as well on my device. It's a bit unsettling and seems like more than a coincidence.

Where is our phone-body linux OS with SIM hardware already, right?
