WhatsApp Changes Privacy Policy – What it means for users
WhatsApp, the world’s most popular messaging platform is updating its terms and conditions , as well as its privacy
policy. Part of this update includes WhatsApp sharing your account
information with Facebook to, among other things, provide better targeted ads.
I know you’ll be wondering what part of your information is being shared to Facebook
Q – What information is being shared with Facebook?
The updated WhatsApp FAQ page says that the phone number you
used to sign up for WhatsApp with will be shared, as well as the last time you used the service.
Thanks to end-to-end encryption, Facebook will not be able to see your
messages, photos or other media you share. Only you and the person
you send messages to will ever be able to see that information. And
any information that is shared by WhatsApp will not be publicly visible
to anyone using Facebook. Meaning, if WhatsApp shares your phone
number with Facebook, it won’t fill in the phone number field on your
profile and make it visible to anyone.
Another question is why your information is being shared.
The FAQ page says sharing your information with Facebook will help
the two companies “coordinate more.” The claim is that it will help
them “fight spam and abuse” more efficiently, as well as and this is “improve your experiences
likely the bigger and more feasible reason
within [Facebook] services” through targeted ads.
Will I start seeing ads in WhatsApp?
No. Well, at least not in the usual banner ad style. However, WhatsApp is exploring ways to allow businesses to communicate with
customers. In the same way that you can interact with your bank via
SMS to check account balances or pay your cell phone bill with a text
message, WhatsApp wants you to receive information from business,
such as receipts for flight information.
The good news is, WhatsApp is (for now) continuing to put you in
control. It says, “We do not want you to have a spammy experience; as
with all of your messages, you can manage these communications,
and we will honor the choices you make.”
Time will tell if being part of Facebook will alter their stance on this, as
well.
Well. Certainly, I’ve got a lot of contacts on my whatsapp and I get a lot of messages daily so the idea of Ads on Whatsapp “hell no”. If you feel the same way about the new Whatsapp privacy policy, Fortunately, you can opt out and remove yourself from the whole situation very easily. Here’s how:
Open WhatsApp on your phone.
On Android , tap the action overflow button in the upper right
corner and select Settings . On iOS, tap the Settings tab in the
lower right corner.
Select Account .
Tap the check mark to the right of Share my account info .
To disable the feature, tap Don’t Share .
.
The pop-up that appears reads, “If you tap ‘Don’t Share’, you won’t be
able to change this in the future.” And they mean it.
On the bright side, your account information and app usage won’t be
shared with Facebook anymore. Though, it doesn’t say whether it has
already shared your information or whether, if shared, that information
will be deleted.

Some people follow and then unfollow others — after they get a follow back — and through the use of third-party apps that promote inauthentic likes, follows and comments.
You may see Instagram follow accounts start to drop in the coming days, and this is why. According to a company blog post, Instagram is trying to do something about the use of third-party apps that ‘grammers use to help artificially grow their audience.
“Every day, people come to Instagram to have real experiences, including genuine interactions,” the company notes. “It is our responsibility to ensure these experiences aren’t disrupted by inauthentic activity. Starting today, we will begin removing inauthentic likes, follows and comments from accounts that use third-party apps to boost their popularity.
“We’ve built machine learning tools to help identify accounts that use these services and remove the inauthentic activity. This type of behavior is bad for the community, and third-party apps that generate inauthentic likes, follows and comments violate our Community Guidelines and Terms of Use.”
If you are using any of this services you shouldn’t be scared of your account being deleted. Instagram will send you an in-app message alerting the you that they have removed inauthentic likes, follows and comments from your account. That user will also be asked to secure their account by changing their password.
There’s also a vague warning that accounts which continue to use third-party apps to grow their audience in this manner “may see their Instagram experience impacted.”
I’m not sure what Instagram means by “users seeing their Instagram experience impacted” but I can guess it would be using Instagram Shadow ban which limits your engagement so much you hate your Instagram Account.
Facebook at large, of course, has been hampered by a slew of bad news lately, with the company’s ham-fisted response to inauthentic activity across its family of apps increasingly coming under scrutiny. Instagram, for its part, says it will be ramping up its efforts along these lines even more so than what it included in the announcement today.
Also from the company’s post: “Since the early days of Instagram, we have auto-detected and removed fake accounts to protect our community. Today’s update is just another step in keeping Instagram a vibrant community where people connect and share in authentic ways. We’ll have more updates in the coming weeks on additional measures we’re taking to tackle inauthentic activity on Instagram.”
10 Reasons Why Your Smartphone May Be Charging Slowly

This App Shows You How Fast Your Device Is Charging.
The Results You’ll see below are taken from different current sources.
Photo 2 – Charging with 1A charger
Photo 3 – Charging with 1.A power bank port
My powerbank’s capacity is 10000maH while my phone battery is about 3600maH, meaning it should charge my phone fully about 2 times.
Here’s a screenshot –
Now I’m guessing you must be wondering how I got the followers ,So without further ado let me get straight to the point.
Requirements For This
1. An Android Smartphone
2. App Cloner – Download Here
3. Neutrino + – Dowload Here
4. Instagram App. I believe you should have this before even opening this post
How It Works
Neutrino + has over 5 Million Downloads and about 8 Million Users globally so your account isn’t followed by bots. They are real people and can unfollow you at anytime. A couple of people tend to unfollow sometimes. Luckily the app has a way to punish people that don’t keep following you.
The main aim of this app is to get 359 crystals then boost your account to gain followers. However, you can either follow other people to get crystals or simply buy the crystals but in this tutorial I’ll be showing you how to trick the system a bit.
- Normally Instagram lets you sign in to multiple accounts on one app so all you have to do is create at least 2 fake accounts. (Make sure you take note of the username and password)
- Post 2 pictures on each of the accounts then wait for about 5 Minutes.
- Launch App Cloner then select Neutrino + and change the icon color then click the tick icon and wait for it to clone (Make sure you have enough space in your phone before doing this)
- Once it finishes cloning you’ll have 3 Neutrino + Apps on your phone
- Login to your main account on the original neutrino app and log in to your fake accounts on the two cloned apps.
- In order to get a bonus when opening the Neutrino + use this referral code – 8362171
- Click on the star icon to start subscribing to people on the fake accounts (Don’t do this with your main account)
- Keep subscribing till you see an error message that you are following too much.
- Click on the big crystal button on the bottom right of the app then slide to more crystals
- Scroll down then transfer all the crystals to your main account – your nickname is your main username
- Repeat the same thing on the second fake account then go back to your main account on Neutrino then click on the star icon then select gain followers.
