Facebook and Child



"Cuteness Overloaded", I watched a nude photo of a 1 or 2-year-old girl on my Facebook newsfeed and was stunned for two minutes. In fact, there was no such thing as a different one.  Because the little gang is moving in such a state of unconsciousness at home and everyone feels very appreciated.  But I was thinking about how fair it was to post that innocent child on social media.

At present, people have taken this message very seriously, "Write something here" and they keep on posting anything.  Especially I have found child photograph's many times.  In this regard, when I was searching for information on the internet, I found that 1500 photos on an average parent upload to their social sites until the age of 5 years of the child. And in that Facebook is very ahead and then there is an Instagram.  In fact, Facebook is a very useful tool for conveying your thoughts or your personal, professional information to the masses. I always like to reach out to my loved ones or friends, but as my medium is open for everyone, Is it ok to upload information there? We have to ask ourselves this question.  

I had once suggested my friend by seeing such a photo of his child, and I got expected answer from him, "I have set this to be seen by friends who are in my friend list". That friend is a tech-savvy person.   Its understood that this setting will allow Facebook to show this information to your friends only, but do you really have all your friends in your friend list who are known to you? Have you verified them before adding them to your friend list?
Apart from this, all of us do not know an unwritten rule of social networks, or we may forget that, if you post anything online, even though you have privacy settings, you never know how that will proceed further You will not have control over it.  And besides, as per terms and conditions from facebook agreed by you, your contents can be used by Facebook for its interest.   In fact, Facebook and Google now know you better than yourself. I will focus on that topic in any of my next articles.

The person's permission is necessary to use or upload any photo of him. But, because of being so small and playing the role of motherhood, all of us do it under curiosity. In a country like France, this type of action considered as crime and person has to pay the penalty of huge amount.

Be sure to think about the following, before uploading anything about your child on social media : 

1. Do you really need to upload this information? If you really want to give this information to close relatives then why not email them?

2. Many of your smartphones, unknowingly, store information about the location captured with photos in that image. While sharing such photos, are you sure that it is safe and secure when you share information about your private locations on the social media?

3. Currently, Child Pornography is very dangerous crime happening all over the world.  Are you inviting that with your child photo?

4. I am uploading this information today and when my son / daughter be at a particular age, will he/she be happy to see that or feel humiliated? Will he have some trouble with that information?

I have covered many of these things in my previous articles. Because I had asked one question about this, I thought it necessary to write this article. It's not compulsory that whatever I have mentioned will happen and even not compulsory that it may not happen.  Therefore, it is your choice how to use social media.   I just wanted to make sure that, all my close friends like you might know about the hacks in this case.

Read deleted messages on Whatsapp


It was a real pleasure to receive an update from WhatsApp in which you can delete a message on WhatsApp which has been sent by mistake.  I had explained this feature in detail in my previous article (Undo Send on Whatsapp).  But as the deleted message is replaced by the statement "This message was deleted", it made people more curious about the deleted message.   Now it's easy to read that deleted message.

How to Use It?

1.  For this you need to download a third party app "Notification History) from Google Play Store.  (There are many applications with the same name.  Please check the logo)



२. You need to set two permissions for this
- Go to mobile settings -> Accessibility Option -> Notification History and Enable It





- Go to mobile Settings -> Notification Access -> Notification History and Enable It


   

After this setting whenever you receive any message on mobile, this app captures that notification.  As you can recognize the time of message deletion you can go into that app and check the actual message sent.  You can search by the name of that person as well and it will display you result for that person from groups and personal chats



!!! Enjoy Technology !!!

Now its difficult to forget password !!!


The problem that we regularly encounter is, we register across many portals on the internet and we do not log in frequently on them which results in forget passwords.  To avoid this situation, we tend to keep the same password or note it down somewhere.  But to keep the same password for the sites that do not contain sensitive information and the sites that have important information is a bit risky.

Our Important and Secure accounts :
1. Bank Account (Login and Transaction Password)
2. Personal (Only self-access) E-mail accounts
3. Social Networking Sites

Other accounts :
1. Personal (Others can access) E-mail accounts
2. Sites which needs temporary login

We keep the same password for all above accounts which is risky and can help others to steal your information.  Let's see the trick where you can keep different passwords for diferent accounts but still can remember them easily.

To keep your password strongere we need 3 things.
1. Letters (Small & Capital)
2. One or more special characters
3. Numbers

We can make the combination of all of them.  Suppose you are preparing password for yahoo account then formal would be like this,
{xyz}{@}{Yahoo}{Number}

{xyz}
Here you should use the name which has nothing to do with your life.  You must not use the name of your family members or relatives.

{@}  
You can take any special character here.  For example, @ or dot or # sign.  Many of the sites do not accept question mark so its not advisable to use.

{Yahoo} 
Name of the portal for which we are creating the password.  Means here I have used Yahoo.  For Facebook, you can use Fb or Facebook

{Number}
Here you can consider an important year of your life or any 4 or 6 digits number.
Please do not use your or family member's date of birth, your anniversary year.

In short, the format will look like this
sundaram#Yahoo2906 or sundaram#YAHOO2906

You can decide which letter to keep small or capital. You can decide your own format as well.  With the help of this format, your different password for different portals will look like this.

GMail : sundaram#Gmail2906
ICICI Bank : sundaram#Icici2906
HDFC Bank : sundaram#Hdfc2906
Facebook : sundaram#Facebook2906
Twitter : sundaram#Twitter2906 

For the other sites which are not secured you can keep common password so that whenever you login you need not to remember password.

For few of the bank accounts, you cannot keep same password for login and transaction.  In that case, if your login password is sundaram#Icici2906  then your transaction password will be SUNDARAM#iCICI2906.  That means only the difference of small and capital letters.

I am using this technique for many years.  Passwords are different still easy to understand.

New Feature- Undo send for Whatsapp



"Ohh god...to whom i sent the message?" or "I sent the message on wrong group?", we stuck in such kind of situations often when we are using Whatsapp and we look for a chance to delete the message.  We can delete the message if its not submitted actually on Whatsapp server but if net connection is proper then generally message is delivered within fraction of seconds.


No worries from here now.  Whatsapp have launched new feature in which you can delete delivered message.  Not only from your mobile but from recipients mobile as well. 

In recent version of Whatsapp (2.17.395) this option is updated.  If you don't have this version then you can update it from Play Store (For apple mobiles, download from App store). 

Please follow following steps

1. When you send message to any person or group, you can delete that message within 7 minutes.  You need to press that message, and need to select delete button on right hand side.



2. You can find 3 options
 - Delete for me (This option will delete message from your mobile but not from recipient mobile)

-  Cancel (This will not perform any action)

- Delete For Everyone (This option will delete message from all the mobiles who have received your message)



3.  After deleting this message, it will keep on displaying "You deleted this message"



4. Recipient mobile will display "This message was deleted" on their mobile.


That means even if you delete this message, notification will display instead of message (But you can delete this notification as you do for normal message).  In this way you can delete sent image and video as well. 

Few Important Things :
१.  Message can be deleted only within 7 minutes after sending.  You cannot delete older message whose time exceeded 7 minutes.
२. You cannot delete broadcast message.
३. In order to use this feature, recipient must have new version of Whatsapp. 

We were waiting for this update and finally it's here 😊

Enjoy Technology

Whatsapp Live Location Sharing



Hi,

New update of whatsapp have launched "Share Live Location" feature.   You can share your live location with specific person or group of people for specified time.    Meeting friends, concern of security of family members or if you want to share your trip with someone you can use this feature.  This feature is available for Android and IOS Both.


*How to Use ?*

१. Open specific chat or group
२. Click on attachment button on the right side of "Type a Message" box



३. Select Location and click on "Share Live Location".



४. Select specific time for which you want to share location



If you have shared your location with any group, then each member of group can view your location.

*"Send your current Location" vs "Share Live Location"?*

"Send your current Location"  is for long time in Whatsapp.  We need to know the difference between both.

In "Send your current Location"  you can select any location and send it to recipient (For eg: You can send office location by sitting at home)

But in "Share Live Location", It will send only the location where exactly you are while sending location.  You cannot change the same.

This feature will help you for sure.

Enjoy Technology
