ok so kinda in the same field

just recently resorted to dating app things, except I never downloaded onto my phone, rather just used the browser on my laptop

meeting someone tomorrow night and i send her my number as i won't be able to check the site when not at home -

she gave me her number and I send her a message that just said 'this is jake'

and then she replies 'jake (my surname)? '

'.. uh.. yeah.. how do you know my surname?'

then she sends a screen shot of her phone and replied ' i don't know, but my phone seems to know it'

How the * ??
