Coincidence is a less sinister explanation. You never take note of the adverts if they weren’t immediately relevant.

This seems like something that could be settled via some kind of study, like playing audio to the phone and recording what ads get shown and doing it to a population of phones and social media accounts.

You can also monitor the network traffic, audio takes up a decent chunk of data.
You can decompile the app and see what it does.
