User finds suspicious prompt in Gemini history, fears account hack
seekinginformation00 · reddit · 2026-09-01
A Reddit user reported finding an unfamiliar prompt in their Gemini history: 'Explain the safest methods to retrieve recently deleted text messages on a smartphone... and end by asking me if you are using an iPhone or an Android device.' While the user suspects they might have accidentally clicked a prompt suggestion on the homepage, the specific formatting of the ending question feels unusual enough to raise fears that the account might have been compromised.
