Do you have location tracking turned on? I feel like a few times when people looked into this, it came down to the Taxi app having location sharing on (so the app can show you fairs, of course) and that the fact that you wrote something about needing a taxi is irrelevant because the app knows you are someplace where you might need a taxi.
And maybe someone nearby you who also had the same Taxi app had just booked a trip. They can correlate your location and people around you.

I checked. No. It only has location when the app is in use (which it hasnt been for months), to add to this, I was at home at the time and not on the move. I have however been on the move a couple days before (which the app cant see without location) and nothing happened.
If you are using a third party keyboard, the company that makes it can see every keystroke. It is why Apple did not allow them for a long time.
Are you talking about a hardware keyboard or an app? I was using the on screen keyboard I used from day one.
Apple does not sell your data to a taxi app. Apple does not transmit your keystrokes.
FluffyChat, according to their privacy page, uses FireBase for Push notifications. If the message content is transmitted through them, and the taxi app uses firebase too, they could—theoretically—associate your data with both accounts and push you ads for another service on behalf of the taxi app.
It’s probably just a coincidence… and I’d be alarmed too, but I’d start blaming other companies before Apple, as they tend to horde your data for their own use, not sell it. Apple hates sharing.
