Google has that information from the contacts of all Android phones, Google Photos, etc. Granted they don't probably have the information from iPhones, but then a lot of people don't have or use their FB account too.

> No one logs into Google search and give their identity

No one here. Most of the non-tech people (and some tech people) do log into Chrome and Google account, which means they are logged into Search too.



> Google has that information from the contacts of all Android phones

Not really. Manufacturers like Xiaomi (and I believe Samsung) use their own cloud to sync stuff.

> "Most of the non-tech people (and some tech people) do log into Chrome and Google account"

That is the recent change right? Like said, google seems desperate to get into that information graph.


And remember, logging into any Google service in Chrome now means you're logged into Chrome so more tracking!
