This type of thing has also happened to me with Google Maps and Android Auto. I used Google Maps to locate a store to get a gift for my wife. Later, we used the car. When I plugged in my phone, Google Maps displayed the store as a recommended destination on the center console screen. This ruined the surprise.

Now, Google Maps has an Incognito mode, but now I know I must use it when buying surprise presents.

The problem is this interaction is impossible to anticipate, and makes me not want my preferences on communal devices at all.
