How to Perform a Privacy Checkup on Facebook

The Privacy Checkup tool allows you to determine how much or how little information you reveal, and to whom.

Facebook has tons of privacy checks that it would take three or more blog posts to cover the topic. In this post we are going to tackle two topics. The Privacy Checkup is tedious and laborious, plus, there are way too many checks. In our opinion, Facebook is a giant bureaucracy, too big for its own good Regardless, you may be surprised at the kinds and amount of information you are sharing, I know I was. Just take the time to discover what you are sharing using Facebook’s Privacy Checkup tool.

The Privacy Checkup tool allows you to determine how much or how little information you reveal, and to whom. Let’s explore this Facebook tool.

This is for devices running Facebook. Screenshots are from Windows 10

How to Flip Photos or Images on iPhone and IPad

The photo editor on the iPhone and iPad comes with a built-in tool for flipping photos horizontally (sideways). But if you want to flip photos vertically (upside down), you will need to use a free third-party app like Photoshop Express.

Sometimes you end up taking photos that are mirrored horizontally. This is quite common when you take selfies. Want to change the direction of a photo (or a face)?

This is for the iPhone and iPad using Photoshop Express

Dilbert and Work — *Copyright Scott Adams, Inc./Distributed by Universal Uclick for UFS*

This app is a feature-rich photo editing tool on your iPhone or iPad. In some ways, you can think of it as the mobile version of the Photoshop app. While many of its pro features are hidden behind a subscription, you can use the free version to make simple edits.

One of the features available on the free version is the ability to flip images both vertically and horizontally.

First, download the free app from the Apple Store iCloud service. Now, open the app and give it permission to access your photos. Next, from the Home tab, tap the Edit section button. Refer to below image:

Here, choose the photo that you want to edit. See below image:

From the photo editing view, go to the Crop button and tap it. See following image:

From here, choose the Rotate option. Refer to below image:

Now, swipe left on the bottom toolbar to see the different flip options. See below image:

Next, you can flip the photo as you please. See following image for the flipped photo:

Once you are done, tap the Share button from the top toolbar. Refer to below image:

Here, tap the Camera Roll button. The final flipped photo will be exported and saved to your Photos app. See below image where I saved the original:

Flip 8 — Selecting to export and save the photo to the Camera Roll

Your original photo is left intact.

How to Change Safari Text Size For a Website on iPhone and iPad

When you are browsing the web using Safari on your iPhone or iPad, sometimes it can be difficult to read small fonts on the screen. On the other hand, you might find a site that has huge fonts and it makes things equally difficult to read. If you are using Safari on your iPhone or iPad, here’s how to make the text size on a website larger or smaller.

When you are browsing the web using Safari on your iPhone or iPad, sometimes it can be difficult to read small fonts on the screen. On the other hand, you might find a site that has huge fonts and it makes things equally difficult to read. If you are using Safari on your iPhone or iPad, here’s how to make the text size on a website larger or smaller.

This is for iPhone and iPad running iOS 13+

*Copyright Scott Adams, Inc./Distributed by Universal Uclick for UFS*

You can use Safari’s built-in text zoom feature. This feature only changes the text size of the web page. It keeps everything else as it is. The images and other UI elements will stay the same. Once you have changed the text size of a website, Safari will remember it the next time you open the page.

First, open the Safari browser on your iPhone or iPad and visit the web page where you want to increase or decrease the text size.

Next, tap the “aA” button on the top left-hand side. Refer to below image:

Now, tap the “a” button to reduce the text size, or tap the “A” button to increase the text size. See below image:

The default text zoom is set as 100%. You can reduce the text size to 50% or take it up all the way to 300%. See following image where the screen is displayed at 50%, 150%, and 300%:

If you want to quickly reset the text size to the default, simply tap the percentage value in the middle. Refer to below image:

Safari’s text zoom feature works in the Reader Mode as well. If you would like to read a long article without the site elements in larger text size, we recommend that you use Reader View.

Now, after loading the page, tap and hold the “aA” button to enable the Reader View.

Note! Not all websites support Reader View.

See below image:

Next, tap the “aA” button again. From here, you can increase or decrease the text size. See following image:

It’s easy to get confused as to which browser this applies to. This feature is for your Google Chrome browser, not the default Safari web browser.

How to Ask iPhone and iPad Apps Not to Track You

With a software update that arrived recently, called iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5, Apple is finally forcing apps to come clean about a kind of surveillance they have been conducting on us for the past decade. Behind the scenes, apps can probe your phone for personal information that helps them target you with ads or even sell data about you to others. Now. marketers and data brokers can not access a valuable way to identify your phone unless you explicitly say it’s okay.

This is for the iPhone and iPad running iOS or iPadOS 14.5 or higher

A feature on your iPhone or iPad called “App Tracking Transparency” allows you to ask apps not to track you across the internet for advertising and data brokering purposes.

Facebook, and its sister app Instagram, has begun asking permission and the company says it will roll out a screen arguing why you should allow it to track you.

Why Am I Tracked

To get the most out of their advertising budgets, advertisers want their ads to be seen by customers who will buy the product or service they are offering. That way, they do not spend money advertising to the wrong audience. To increase the effectiveness of ads, companies build advertising profiles on individuals, and these profiles can follow you across services run by different companies on the internet.

Apple began to fight back against this practice, building privacy controls. As of the 14.5 update, Apple requires app developers to ask your permission before adding information from that app or data from your iPhone or iPad to an advertising profile that would track you beyond its own app.

Facebook says by tapping “Ask App not to Track“, you are hurting small businesses and free apps that depend on its targeted advertising. In addition to targeting your interests, tracking also helps advertisers learn whether their ads work.

The decision to fight app tracking now is pretty self-serving on the part of Apple. The iPhone maker has a financial interest to push apps to make money from subscriptions rather than advertising, because it gets to take a percentage cut of any in-app purchases.

How Not to be Tracked

Whenever you use an iPhone or iPad app that wants to track you in iOS 14.5, iPadOS 14.5, or higher, you will see a pop-up message that reads “Allow [app name] to track your activity across other companies’ apps and websites?” Just below that, you will find a line about what exactly the app wants to do with your data, such as “deliver personalized ads” or “measure advertising efficiency“.

If you do not want data from this app to go toward building a tracking profile that goes beyond the company that makes the app, tap “Ask App Not to Track“. Refer to below image:

By clicking “Ask App Not to Track“, you’re trusting the app vendor to follow through and honor this request. You are also hoping that Apple’s pressure on these app developers; and its future app screening process; will hold.

How to See Which Apps Track You

If you would like to see which apps you have allowed to track you, first open Settings (the gear icon) app on your iPhone or iPad. See below image:

In the Settings menu, tap Privacy. See following image:

In Privacy settings, select Tracking. Refer to below image:

There, you will see a list of apps that have asked for permission to track you. To change an option for an individual app, tap the toggle beside it. See below image:

After that, exit Settings. Any time you need to revisit information on which apps you have allowed to track you, just visit:

Settings > Privacy > Tracking

How to Stop Apps From Asking Permission

If you are frequently seeing “Ask App Not to Track” pop-ups, you can disable them entirely in Settings. Doing this means that you decline all requests to track you by default, but it does not ensure that apps will not ever try to track you.

First, open the Settings app and navigate to:

Privacy > Tracking

See following image:

At the top of the Tracking page, toggle the switch beside “Allow Apps to Request to Track“ to turn it Off. Refer to below image:

After this, exit Settings.

How to Enable Two Important Features on iPhone

On the iPhone, there are two features you should be using; the SOS Contacts and Comprised Passwords.

On the iPhone, there are two features you should be using; the SOS Contacts and Comprised Psswords. Let’s explore how to use these two features.

This is for iPhone running iOS 14+

Dilbert and Hackers — *Copyright Scott Adams, Inc./Distributed by Universal Uclick for UFS*

Create a SOS Contact

First, ensure that your most important people are in your Contacts. Now, search for your Health app either from your App Library (your last screen) or the Spotlight Search (your first screen). We are using the Spotlight Search. Just type the name “health” in the search box (without the quotes) and click the result. Refer to below image:

Next, the Summary screen will be displayed. Now, click the Review Medical ID Access link. See Below image:

Features 2 — Displaying your Health Summary screen

Next, the Emergency Access to Medical ID screen will be displayed. Click on the Review Medical ID button at the bottom. See following image:

Features 3 — Displaying your Medical ID screen

Now, your Emergency Contacts will be shown (if any). Click on add emergency contact to add a SOS contact you want notified in case of an emergency. Refer to below image:

Features 4 — Displaying your Emergency Contacts and add one

SOS also contacts emergency services. A red asterisk icon will now appear next to Emergency Contacts in your Contacts list.

To send an SOS, hold down the power button on the right and one of the volume buttons on the left at same time. You can either use the Emergency SOS slider, or keep holding the button. A countdown will start, an alert will sound, and when the call goes through to 911, messages are sent to your Emergency Contacts. See below image:

Features 5 — Accessing your Emergency SOS slider

Security Recommendations

iOS 14 features Security Recommendations, which are handy if you store a lot of passwords in iOS, be it for apps or website visits. It will tell you if a password appeared in a known data breach/leak, and suggest you make changes if you have repeated passwords (because that is a big no-no).

First, launch your Settings (the gear icon) app. See following image:

Next, scroll down and tap the Passwords option. Refer to below image:

Features 7 — Accessing your Passwords option

Now, the Security Recommendations screen will be shown. The number to the right indicates security risks found. Next, tap on the label. See below image:

Features 8 — Your number of security risks

Now, on the Security Recommendations screen, toggle Detected Comprised Passwords to On. Next, go through your list of compromised passwords and click the Change Password link as necessary. See following image:

Features 9 — Enabling the Detect Comprised Passwords toggle and reviewing your risks

Note! Some of your comprised passwords may be from old leaks. You know you have changed it since the date of the leak. If so, click the label to open the entry, then click Delete Password.

Next, go back to your Security Recommendations screen to check if your comprised passwords has been resolved. Now, exit Settings.

How to Reinstall Missing or Deleted Canned iPhone Apps

Every iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch comes pre-loaded with a ton of useful apps from Apple, but sometimes those apps can go missing. If that happens, you may wonder where they went, why they disappeared, and how to get them back.

This is for the iPhone

Dilbert and Projects — *Copyright Scott Adams, Inc./Distributed by Universal Uclick for UFS*

The apps that this can happen to include iTunes, FaceTime, Reminders, Stocks, Calendar, Music, Calculator, News, Notes, and many others; in fact 27 apps can be deleted. There are a number of possible reasons why an app has disappeared. It could have been moved or deleted. That’s obvious. Less obvious is that “missing” apps may still be on your device but have been hidden.

Find App Using Spotlight Searcn

First, before you try to reinstall a missing app, make sure that it’s not simply hiding on your device. On your Home screen, swipe downward with one finger near the middle of the screen, and your Spotlight Search bar will appear. Now, type in the name of the app to see whether its icon appears in the results. In our example, we are searching for the Stocks app. Although Stocks appears in the results list, it’s not the right icon. Refer to below image:

If you see the app in the results, then the app is installed. But where is it? It’s possible that you can not see it on a cluttered screen full of apps, or it might be hidden in a folder somewhere. Also, with iOS 14 and higher, the app could be in your App Library but not present on your Home screen.

Find App Using App Library

To check your App Library, swipe all the way to the left (to the last page) and look for it. In my case, it’s in the Recently Added box because I just added it in creating this blog post. See below image:

Download App From App Store

If you do not see the app you are looking for in the Spotlight Search results or the App Library, then the app is not on your device. Fortunately, every removable iPhone app is available for free download again from the App Store. To get it back, open the App Store app. See following image:

Next, when the App Store opens, type the name of the app you are looking for in the search bar and tap the Search button. Refer to below image:

Some third-party apps have similar names to the built-in apps and may show up in the results. To confirm it’s the real app you are looking for, tap on its entry in the results list to see if it’s from Apple. See below image:

Now, the app you want will be free to download; you will see Apple’s iCloud download icon in the listing instead of a Get or Buy button. If you see an Open button, you already have the app on your device. See following image:

Apps 6 — Download the Stocks app from iCloud

Check if App is From Apple

Next, when you are ready to download, just tap the iCloud download button and the app will be downloaded to your device. Once downloaded, you may ccheck if this is the correct app. Open the app and tap the blue link at the bottom labeled, in our example, About Stocks and Privacy… Refer to below image:

Apps 7 — Check to see if we have the correct Stocks app

Now, read the verbage for mentioning of Apple. In the below image, a reference is made to Stocks are provided by Apple News:

Apps 8 — Verifying the Stocks app is from Apple

Repeat the above process with any other missing Apple apps you want restored. Next, exit out of all open screens.

You are finished restoring a missing or deleted app. Please feel free to share this post! One way to share is via Twitter.

How to Use Chrome Reading List on iPhone and iPad

Google Chrome’s Reading List feature can help you save articles for later, so you never miss something good.

Google Chrome’s Reading List feature can help you save articles for later, so you never miss something good.

This is for the iPhone and iPad

Dilbert and Hear — *Copyright Scott Adams, Inc./Distributed by Universal Uclick for UFS*

What Is the Reading List

The Reading List is exactly what it sounds like; a list of things to read. It’s a similar concept to the bookmarks that we have used in web browsers, but with a more focused purpose.

Instead of saving an article or story to a folder in your bookmarks, you can put it in the Reading List. The list syncs to your Google account if you are logged into Chrome, so it’s available on your desktop and smartphone. That makes it a little easier to access than bookmarks.

The other benefit over bookmarks is the offline feature. Pages saved to your Reading List can be read without an internet connection at your convenience. You do need an internet connection to add to the list.

First Method

Chrome for iPhone and iPad offers two ways to add pages to your Reading List. It can be done from Chrome or from another app.

For the first method, first, open Chrome on your iPhone or iPad and find a page to save for later. Now, tap the Share icon in the upper right-hand corner. Refer to below image:

Next, select Read Later from the menu. See below image:

Reading 2 — Selecting the Read Later option

That’s it! The page is in your Reading List.

Second Method

For the second method, find a web page or link that you would like to read later in any app. Now, tap the Share icon in upper right-hand corner. See following image:

Next, find Chrome in the app row and select it. Refer to below image:

Now, from the Chrome menu, tap Read Later. See below image:

Reading 5 — Selecting the Read Later option

Next, to access the Reading List on your iPhone or iPad, open Chrome and tap the three-dot menu icon at the very bottom right-hand corner. See following image:

Accessing Your Reading List

Now, select the Reading List option from the menu. The number indicates unread pages. Refer to below image:

Reading 7 — Selecting your Reading List option

Next, the Reading List will open with Unread pages at the top and Pages You’ve Read (if any) at the bottom. Pages marked with a green check are ready to read offline. See below image where we have only one Unread page:

Now, tap Edit in the bottom right-hand corner to manage the list. See following image:

From here, you can select page(s) and delete or mark them as read. To mark them as read, checkmark an entry and tap the Mark Read blue link at the bottom of your screen. Refer to below image:

If you want to mark page(s) as Unread, checkmark an entry and tap the Mark Unread blue link at the bottom of your screen. See below image:

The Reading List is a great feature if you use Chrome on multiple devices. Rather than depending on a separate third-party app, you can save websites for later reading right inside the browser.
