WhatsApp tips and tricks: How to disable blue ticks and hide last seen on WhatsApp

 We might love the popular instant messaging platform, WhatsApp for all the features it has to offer, but the blue tick marks and last seen notification is not preferred by everyone.

To the dismay of its users, WhatsApp introduced the 'read receipts' (Blue ticks) option in its app to display checkmarks next to each message you send. The feature lets people see precisely when the message is read. It works in a simple way. When the grey checkmarks turn blue that means the receiver has read your message but when the tickmarks remain grey - it just means that the message has only been delivered. 

Earlier, WhatsApp users could only see when the message was delivered but since the inception of the read receipts option, they get to know when you are ignoring them by not replying to their messages (you have already read). And that's when the problem arises.

Although it helps you in comprehending when a person -- you are sending texts to -- even after reading your messages is not replying, it brings you in trouble when you are the one not replying to someone else's messages. 

Apart from the 'read receipts' option, the 'last seen' notification on WhatsApp, similarly, is one of the features that give you no privacy. It let all your contacts know when you were last online and when their message reached you. With this feature, your contacts get permission to see and check when you were active on the app. 

We might love the popular instant messaging platform owned by Facebook for all the features it has to offer, but the blue tick marks and last seen notification is not preferred by everyone. 

Luckily, WhatsApp has an option to disable both these features and there are simple ways to avoid letting others know when you are reading their messages or when you were last online on the app. Here's a quick guide to help you keep your privacy on WhatsApp intact.

Have you ever thought what can you do to the old Facebook account of someone close to whom you have lost with great grief?

Legacy contact

Keeping a ‘legacy contact’ is the best option to maintain your account on Facebook. Your legacy contact can manage your account after your death. They can change your profile picture, post ‘pin’ on your timeline and reply to friend request. However, they are not allowed to post anything or see your messages.

What does Facebook do with the account of dead people?

Facebook memorializes the accounts of the dead. That is, their account is not deleted. Rather, people can save the memories of the dead person, so keeps their posts and photos saved.

In the memorialized account, ‘remembering’ is added in front of the person’s name. That means they are being remembered. If the dead person has kept his timeline open for people’s posts, then people can also post on their timeline.

The memorialized accounts do not appear in ‘People You May Know’ or Friend’s Appearance, nor do people present in their friend list get the notification of their birthday. If the dead person has created a page of which he is the only admin, then the page is deleted as soon as the news of the death is received. the dead person has set a ‘legacy contact’, then he can change the account.

If you want your account deleted after death?. Then go to the option with legacy contact and select ‘Request Account Deletion’.

How to report the death of someone to Facebook?

When you are on a page with a legacy contact, at the end of the page, Facebook asks you if you want to give information about a dead person to Facebook. By clicking on it, you reach a form, which you have to fill before the account owner is declared dead.

But it is not that you make anyone dead. Death certificate of the dying person has to be uploaded. Only after verifying that, Facebook will declare that person dead.

a good thing

Even after your death, Facebook will not share your message with anyone in any way. Neither will you give your login details to anyone. According to the privacy policy of Facebook, this is a crime. And they don’t do that at all.

It is our wish that you live a hundred years and be perfectly healthy. But be aware that if something untoward happens to you or someone close to you, no one can misuse your Facebook.

Use 5 Tricks while uploading photos on Facebook, see more like

 1: Upload Your Photos in High Resolution

By default, your Facebook photos are uploaded in relatively low resolution -- a maximum of 960 x 720 pixels. That’s fine if someone’s viewing your photos on a computer monitor or smartphone screen,

However, if someone wants to download your photos for printing, Facebook’s default resolution simply isn’t good enough. You shot your photos using a multi-megapixel camera; why not have all those pixels available to interested friends and family?

Fortunately, Facebook offers an option to upload your photos in high resolution for a better download experience. Uploading in high resolution – what Facebook dubs the High Quality option – creates a version of your photo up to 2048 x 2048 pixels, considerably more detailed than the default 960 x 720 pixel version.

When you select the High Quality option, Facebook creates two versions of your photo on its servers. There’s the 960 x 720 pixel (max) version for online viewing, and the new 2048 x 2048 pixel (max) version for downloading. Note that uploading in High Quality does not affect the quality of pictures displayed onscreen; the High Quality version is only accessed when someone opts to download your photo.

To upload a higher-resolution version of a photo, check the High Quality option at the bottom of the photo upload page. When you select High Quality for an entire photo album, all photos you upload to that album will be at the higher resolution.

Note that High Quality uploading takes longer than uploading standard-resolution photos; there’s more detail to upload. The extra upload time is worth it, however, if you want your friends to be able to download and print good-looking versions of your photos.

2. Map Your Photos

You may already know that you can add a location to any photo you upload to Facebook. Just click the Add Location icon beneath the picture thumbnail and enter the name of the location into the Where Was This? box; it’s that simple. You can add the location when you first upload the picture, or at any subsequent time by editing the photo.

When you add a location to a photo, it appears on the map that’s displayed when someone selects Places on your Timeline page. The map has pins for each place you’ve either checked into or taken a picture at. Click a pin to see a panel for updates and photos; click the left and right arrow to cycle through all photos at that location.

If you want to add more photos to your map, simply display the map page then click the Add Places button. This displays a reel of your untagged photos. Click a photo and then enter the location where it was taken. It will then automatically be added to your map.

3. Share Different Photo Albums with Different People

Another good reason to organize your Facebook photos into albums is that you can set different privacy levels for each album. That lets you select who can see which photos -- and effectively hide certain types of photos from certain people.

Think of it this way. You may have a ton of photos of your kids or grandkids that your family wants to see but are of little interest to your co-workers or neighbors. You may have photos of your local activities that your neighbors want to see but distant family isn’t interested in. And you may have work-related photos of interest to your colleagues that your family and neighbors would find boring.

The solution is to first create relevant photo albums, and then set the appropriate privacy levels for each album. You do this by clicking the Privacy button on the photo album page and making a selection from the drop-down list.

4. Tag People in Your Photos

Most photos you upload to Facebook have people in them -- friends and family members, in most cases. Facebook lets you tag those people who appear in your photos, so that the photos will also show up in those folks’ Facebook photo pages.

In fact, Facebook uses facial recognition technology to suggest who to tag when you upload a photo. Facebook compares faces in your photos to faces of its users, and suggests those names for you to tag. It doesn’t always get it right, but it’s a place to start.

When you upload a photo to a photo album, Facebook puts a box around each face in the photo. Click the face or box to display the tagging box, then enter the name of that person into the box. If that person is one of your Facebook friends, you’ll see a list of matching names as you type; select a name from this list to tag that person.

5. Share a Friend’s Photo On Your Own Timeline

Sometimes a friend or family member might post a photo that your Facebook friends could be interested in. Fortunately, Facebook lets you share your friends’ photos on your own Timeline, and in your own News feed, so your friends can view them, too.

If the photo you want to share is in a friend’s status update, click the Share link beneath the photo. To share a photo that a friend has uploaded to a photo album, open the album and click the photo to display it in a lightbox, then click Share.

This opens the Share This Photo dialog box. Make sure On Your Own Timeline is selected, then enter a text message to accompany the photo. Click the Privacy button to determine who can view this post, then click the Share Photo button. Voila! The photo is now posted to your Timeline and News feed.

WhatsApp assumed a major job in the Nigerian election — not every last bit of it was awful

There is developing worry about the potential for the message and media sharing stage WhatsApp to undermine majority rule government in various nations over the world including Brazil and India.

Because WhatsApp is encoded – thus offers clients far more prominent security from arraignment than Twitter or Facebook – it has turned out to be especially infamous for spreading "counterfeit news".

This is a noteworthy worry in Africa, where WhatsApp is the most prevalent informing application in 40 nations. This is because of its minimal effort and the capacity to effortlessly impart messages to the two people and groups.

In any case, is this actually how WhatApp is utilized? Furthermore, on the off chance that it is, to what degree does this trade-off the nature of elections?

Their report arrives at resolutions that are both alarming, just as empowering.

The exploration uncovers that the stage was utilized to deceive voters in progressively advanced ways. In any case, it also demonstrates that WhatsApp reinforced vote based system in different regions.

Falsehood and disinformation

The 2019 Nigerian elections saw both disinformation and falsehood. We considered this by directing 46 meets in the conditions of Abuja, Oyo, and Kano, just as seven center groups and a review of 1,005 people.

Over the span of directing the exploration candidates reliably revealed to us that they prevalently utilized WhatsApp to share data about their characteristics and battle vows. However, numerous WhatsApp clients said that at a high extent of the messages they got were intended to undermine an adversary chief's notoriety – to "decampaign" them.

There were some prominent instances of disinformation. The most infamous story circled on social media was that the president had passed on while experiencing medicinal treatment outside of the nation, and had been supplanted by a clone from Sudan.

Other manufactured correspondences were less extraordinary however no less huge. Numerous conventional natives shared these messages, now and again because they realized they were false and needed to intensify their effect, however much of the time because they thought they were valid.

The best decampaigning techniques were those that common messages that resounded with people because they contained a component of reality, or played on late encounters.

WhatsApp dominates

The political impact of WhatsApp has extended quickly in accordance with its developing entrance. Subsequently, it has moved toward becoming a piece of the texture of election battles and is presently a key component through which political pioneers look to speak with their crusade groups and supporters.

Completely 91 percent of the people we met were dynamic WhatsApp clients; as one individual put it:

In Nigeria, election candidates were at that point utilizing the stage to push messages in 2015. Be that as it may, the people we met concurred that the 2019 elections saw a huge advance up as far as how the main gatherings composed their social media technique.

Buhari's exertion was better supported and especially great. It built up a system of nearby and territorial delegates associated with a "headquarters" in Abuja. This empowered the

battle to quickly send messages from the national to the neighborhood level, while also reacting to unfriendly messages and gossipy tidbits shared by its opponents.

While people with significant influence regularly had more cash to put resources into their battles, numerous resistance chiefs called attention to that in significant ways WhatsApp had made an increasingly level political playing field. The individuals who had been engaged with legislative issues for quite a while clarified that "phony news" was the same old thing in Nigeria, however, that in the past it was in some cases difficult to check these messages because there was no real way to get a broadcast appointment on government adjusted radio.

WhatsApp had changed this circumstance. Restriction pioneers presently have a shabby method for battling back. It has also been utilized to organize hostile to defilement crusades and election perception, fortifying the majority rules system.

Advancement of insurgency? 

It's also significant not to exaggerate the hugeness of WhatsApp. Things appear to be unique underneath the national level, for instance, where crusade structures were less created and a noteworthy extent of movement stayed casual.

We found that while candidates for Governor and Member of Parliament set up WhatsApp groups, they were considerably less sorted out. Much of the time, candidates depended on existing systems and social influencers to get the message out.

Candidates were also quick to push that while they utilized WhatsApp during their battles, they didn't depend on it. Voters hope to see their pioneers on the ground and anticipated that they should give a scope of administrations to the network. Promoting great deeds over WhatsApp could enable a pioneer to get credit, yet just in the event that they had satisfied their duties in any case.

At the end of the day, WhatsApp can enhance and supplement an up-and-comer's ground crusade. However, it can't supplant it.

Tossing out the water however keeping the child

These discoveries propose that answers for the intensity of social media stages like WhatsApp aren't to boycott them or to enable governments to control them. This would just misrepresent the huge favorable circumstances of incumbency that decision parties as of now appreciate.

A superior arrangement is to advance computerized education, create social media sets of principles around elections, and enable WhatsApp users to control which groups they are added to, and what data they get.
