    How to find someone on Facebook using their photo 

    Facebook is a social media platform where you connect with your friends all over the world. You can also make new friends from Facebook across the world.

    On Facebook, you can see and interact with friends you’ve not seen physically in a long time. Suppose there’s a friend you’ve not heard from in a while and a Facebook profile you don’t remember, but you want to find that person. There can be just two ways to find that person.

    It’s either you ask other friends to help you out, or you use the person’s picture to find them on Facebook if only you have their picture. Maybe this pic was taken some years back when you were still in contact with him. But if you ask mutual friends around and none of them knows that particular person’s Facebook, then you’d have to search for the profile using their picture on Facebook.

    Currently, there are two known methods to find a person’s Facebook profile using their picture. You can find a person’s profile using the “Google image search,” or sometimes the picture was already downloaded from Facebook some time ago, and every Facebook picture has a numerical ID assigned to it when it’s posted on the media.

    Any image downloaded from Facebook will have that number, so if you know this numerical ID, you can use it to find the source of the picture on Facebook.

    Maybe you’ve seen a really pretty girl’s picture on your friend’s phone, and the gallery folder was “Facebook” you can use this method to find the person’s profile very easily. 

    This is a question that has been asked countless times, so brace yourself as I discuss ways you can find a person’s Facebook profile using their picture in this article. 

    Facebook picture search using “Google image search.”

    With this method, google can scan any image and show you the profile using the image. It can also show you profiles of people using your image without your permission.

    It’s an easy three method step. With this method, you can use a Facebook picture you have downloaded on your device. It’s a simple drag and search method.

    This method can also only be used with a google chrome browser or a Mozilla Firefox browser. Below are steps to follow to search for an image using the “google search image” method. 

    1. Open the google images website.
    2. Locate the picture you want to use on your device.
    3. Tap on the picture and drag it to the google images search page. You’ll see a change in the search box as you drop the image in it.
    4. Google will begin the search after you drop the picture.
    5. Your results of profile or profiles using that image and the websites these profiles are on will appear, and you’ll select. You might see different profiles because, in some cases, some people’s pictures are used without their permission.

    Search With A URL

    You can use the URL method to find a profile using an image on Facebook.

    With this method, you’ll be taking the image from Facebook directly to the google image search page. You can copy its URL and paste it in the google image search box.

    This method is called the “Google reverse image search.”

    1. Open your Facebook app and locate the picture you want to search.
    2. Copy the URL of the image on Facebook
    3. Go to the Google image search page.
    4. Tap on the search by image button
    5. Tap paste image URL
    6. Tap on search by image.
    7. Your results will be displayed by google with the sites and profiles the picture is from.

    Using the “Tineye” method. 

    There’s also another method we can use, which is the “TinEye” method. With the TinEye method, it’s almost like the “google reverse image search.”

    You can copy the URL of the picture and paste it in the TinEye search box, and the list of sites and profiles using that picture will be displayed for you, or upload the picture from your gallery, and search results will be displayed for you. 

    1. First, launch the “TinEye” website.
    2. Upload an image or paste the URL of the image in the search box
    3. Tap enter
    4. You’ll be shown the user of that photo, showing the complete list of the websites using that pic. You’ll be provided links to these websites and sources of the image, which is Facebook. 

    These are among the best and trusted methods to find a Facebook profile using the person’s image. This methods also give you a chance to find people using your pictures on Facebook or any site without your permission. If these methods help you find a person’s profile on Facebook, don’t forget to share this article with your friends.

  • How to tell if someone has deleted their Snapchat 

    How to tell if someone has deleted their Snapchat 

    Snapchat is a social messaging app where you can connect with people not just around you but all over the world for either business or social purposes.

    On Snapchat, your friends send you videos and pictures of their daily activities and likewise you. This platform helps you connect with new friends worldwide and share fun stuff going on in your lives. One different thing about Snapchat is that nothing you post on the app is permanent. Messages, videos, and pictures you send get deleted right after the viewer sees them. It makes things safer on the platform.

    Sometimes you may be caught up in a moment, and you want to share fun stuff with someone, luckily you won’t wake up with your stuff all around the media thanks to Snapchat features. But like features on every technology, there’s a way around it.

    The app offers you video and photo editing tools that make it possible for you to add the beautiful touch you want to your pictures and videos.

    Some people have heard of Snapchat but haven’t used it before and don’t know what fun one can have. In this article, I will discuss how to use Snapchat and how to tell if someone has blocked you or deleted her Snapchat account. 

    How To Use Snapchat 

    To use Snapchat, first, you need to have a smartphone that supports the app. And it has a front camera. Once you have a smartphone that supports the app, you’re good to go. Follow these steps on how to download and start using Snapchat. 

    • After downloading it, you sign up with your email, date of birth, and name.
    • You’ll be given a Snapchat handle, or you’ll create your handle. That’s how your friends can find you when they want to add you on Snapchat too.
    • Now you’re ready to begin using Snapchat. You can start by taking a picture to edit and share. To do this, you can tap on the camera circle and take a snap using any of the filters you want.
    • After taking the pic, you can use the photo editing tools to picture a new look and share it with your story. This will last for up to 24 hours.

    How To Add Friends On Snapchat

    There are few ways you can add friends on Snapchat. You can either search for the person using their Snapchat handle or add them from being tagged on another person’s snap story.

    You can also tap on your snap profile and hit the friends button to select friends you want to add. You choose to add only people you know or add random people to and add as many as you want.

    Another way of adding people is by clicking pictures of the “Snapcode’” that shows up beside their name. Every user has this as a unique feature.

    Once you add your friends, you’ll get to see their snap stories anytime they post on their accounts. One unique part about Snapchat is that whatever you do with a friend’s chat or snap story will be communicated to them. Maybe you might see a picture on their account which you’d love to save but can’t unless you take a screenshot.

    If you do so, the person will be told you’ve taken a screenshot of their snap story. Or, in a chat with the person, screenshots are also reported to them. That’s why you need to take such precautions when using Snapchat. 

    How To Know If Someone has deleted their Snapchat account

    Anyone you add will show on your friends’ list and chats list. So for anyone’s snap name or handle to disappear from your account, then it means you unfriended the person yourself or the person has deleted his account, sometimes you might think the person has blocked, but it might not be. So how do you tell if someone deleted his Snapchat account? 

    Check your current list

    First, you can search through your chats and friends list thoroughly to be sure. Maybe you’ve added a lot of people or texted a lot of people since you last texted the particular person in question, so her name might have gone down the list.

    So to be very sure, scroll down thoroughly if you don’t remember their snap handle, and if you still can’t find it, there’s one last way to be sure they’ve deleted the account and not blocked you.

    You can create a new Snapchat account to check

    You can create a new Snapchat account and not tell anyone about it or add anyone. Search for the person’s username and insert it in the search button. If nothing pops up, then it means the person has deleted their Snapchat and not blocked you.

    Conclusion

    So these are some of the things you should know about Snapchat if you already use the app and don’t these things or you’re yet to check out the app.

    t’s an exciting platform with a lot of fun. Know when it’s appropriate to take a screenshot of other people’s posts and know what to do when you feel like someone has blocked you or deleted their Snapchat account. 

  • Snapchat score: How to calculate & tricks to gain a higher snap score

    Snapchat score: How to calculate & tricks to gain a higher snap score

    Snapchat has become one of the most used social media in the world. A lot of top personalities use it to update their followers on their daily activities.

    They take snaps every day, sharing pictures and videos of themselves. For every social media platform, your number of followers or friends determines your influence on the platform. But for Snapchat, followers are not shown except you’re subscribed to the Snapchat public profile to have subscribers.

    If you’re not on a public profile, you’ll only have your Snapchat score to show your influence on the platform. Your snap score is the result of how you use the app. If you’re someone who doesn’t use the app that much, your snap score will be relatively low. But regular users have a very high snap score. Many people have wondered how the snap score is calculated, but the truth is the Snapchat score algorithm is not known.

    We don’t know how it’s calculated, but we can add a few things with the knowledge we have on Snapchat scores. In this article, we will talk about what the Snapchat score is and a few things to do if you want to increase it. 

    How To Check Your Snapscore

    To check your snap score, you need to open your Snapchat app and make sure it’s your account. Now tap on your profile on the top left right after you open the app. When you tap on the profile, you’ll see your profile and a figure below it. That figure is your Snapchat score. Tap on the figure, and the figure will split in two. The figure on the left is the snap you’ve sent, and the one on the right is the snaps you’ve received. You can also check your friends’ Snapchat score by tapping, and their Snap score will also be at the same place yours is, below the profile. 

    Things To Do If You Want To Increase Your Snap Score

    Send snaps often to your friends

    Your snap score increases by a point every time you send a snap. If you stay away from Snapchat and you return, you’ll get 6 points for coming back. All you have to do is send snaps very often. For every story you post on your Snapchat, you get a point.

     Send different snaps to multiple friends

    You receive a point for each snap you send to a friend. That means if you select ten friends and send three snaps to each of them, you’ll be getting 30 points for that. After you make a snap, it could be a pictured video. Please tap on the yellow button to either post it on your story or send them to your friends. You can choose to post it on your story and send it to your friends. After you tap on the yellow button which says “send to,” select the friends you want to send the snap to and send it to them, send it to your friends.

    Open all unread snaps

    Sometimes you think the snaps your friends are sending you are unnecessary, so you don’t bother to open them. Well, if you want to increase your score, you need to open your snap messages because you receive a point for every snap you open. You can check it out if you doubt it. Open a snap and check your score to see if it increased by one.

    Frequently update your story with snaps

    You receive a point for every snap you post on your story. You get points for the views, too, if you post a snap.

    For this reason, you should post snaps often on your story if you want to increase your snap score.

    Avoid using direct messages to communicate with friends

    You don’t get any points for messages you send or receive. So if you want to communicate with your friends, you can be creative enough to take snaps of your texts and send them to your friends. Remember, the main goal is to increase your snap score, so you have to do all the necessary things to improve it.

    Conclusion

    So basically, there’s no trick to it. All you have to do is use your Snapchat frequently and make snaps. Your snap score is going to increase very much. Send snaps to friends, make snaps of moments you have to create memories.

    The often you make snaps and share, the higher your snap score gets. Avoid all apps and software that tell you they can help you increase your snap score. As I said earlier that the Snapchat score algorithm.

    Update: As at 20:51 GMT on Monday, 26th July 2021, the call services seem to have been restored for a lot of customers.


    A lot of MTN customers on the evening of Monday, 26th July 2021, have been complaining that they are unable to make calls to other MTN numbers. The first complaint came to me at 19:27 GMT.

    Most of these complaints have been on social media. A few people I spoke to also on WhatsApp encountered the same issue.

    I tried calling 4 different MTN numbers and the call just drops.

    Although this is a general issue, correspondence on MTN Ghana’s Twitter account seems to tackle it “individually”.

    Hopefully, MTN Ghana resolves the issue so we can all go back to making calls. Do well to check out MTN’s Mashup offer if you make a lot of calls.

  • 6 of the best Android tricks worth exploring right now

    6 of the best Android tricks worth exploring right now

    The Android is the most convenient and simple operating globally, which is why many smartphone users prefer Android to iOS.

    Its simple nature allows you to explore the phone’s features really well. It has been a trustworthy and reliable operating system ever since it was introduced in 2003. 

    Screen pinning

    This is tricky as designed to prevent nosy people who like to check more stuff on your phones when you give them to check something.

    We’ve all been in situations where you give your phone to someone to read something or view something on it, and they end up opening other apps on the phone and checking your personal stuff. If you give your phone to someone and don’t want them to snoop around other apps, just “pin the screen”.

    This feature is sometimes enabled by default in our phones, but you can turn it on in the Security menu if you don’t have it enabled. Tap the app icon on any app in the multitasking interface and select “Pin” to prevent them from switching apps.

    You can also add your PIN to this feature to protect the switching of apps. Also, note that this feature enables you to split-screen and pause the app’s notifications.

    Boost your memory storage

    Well, this is an amazing trick that many users have been grateful for ever since the introduction of android phones.

    Also, definitely a feature many IOS users are jealous of. Imagine boosting your storage when you sense it’s getting full. To do this, you simply have to buy micro SD and insert it in your phone and store more data and media on it.

    This is a luxury iPhone users do not enjoy; with iPhones, when your phone’s memory gets full, that’s it. Either you change the phone or free up space by deleting many data and media from your phone.

    Bring back lost notifications

    Sometimes you’re trying to clear a particular notification.

    Then you end up removing one that you didn’t plan on clearing. Mostly that notification was still there because you had not read it yet, but you were a bit busy, so you were planning to read it later, but then it’s gone now. And to avoid the stress of going through all your apps trying to find the notification you didn’t get a chance to read, what do you do?

    You’re in luck because a trick has been discovered where you can long-press and hold on to your home screen to show up in the screen-adjusting mode. Now, tap on widgets and look for the Settings shortcut widget, which looks like a basic settings gear.

    Next, drag it to somewhere on your home screen, which will be followed by a popup list allowing you to choose from essential shortcuts like accessibility, app info, battery, devices, battery, memory, etc.

    Just search for the option named “notification log” and select it, which will enable you to view previous notifications from all the apps and the time you received them.

    Use your LED flash and camera to monitor your heart rate

    This is one of the most innovative tricks I’ve seen in a smartphone yet. This is because I’m a very health-conscious person.

    Monitoring pulses using the camera is a really cool feature. There are quite a several apps available that can help you monitor your pulse rate.

    The ones that actually work require your finger to be placed on the LED flash. The app uses the camera to track colour changes under your skin to monitor the amount of blood passing.

    It is very logical and understandable if you don’t expect total accuracy from these apps as you know they are dependent.

    Track your android smartphone

    Have you been in a situation where you lost your phone and couldn’t get it back? Now, new android versions have come with google find my device service to help track our phones when they get missing.

    Almost every Android smartphone user has signed in to google on their phone. The good thing with the google “find my device” app is that it automatically turns on once you sign your google account.

    So anytime you lose an Android device, search android.com/find in any browser and log in with the same Google account.

    Now, you can see the location of your device and can further erase all the data remotely, lock it down with a message or make it ring loud (even if it’s in silent mode), provided that your lost device has access to the internet and location is on.

    Improve your status bar

    If you want to be a bit creative with your status bar and add and remove some features, you can do that without downloading a third-party app. You can simply do all that with the “system IU turner”.

    To enable the “system IU turner, you have to hold the settings button present in the Notification toggle menu. Upon doing that, the gear icon will start rotating, followed by a toast message confirming that the System UI tuner has been enabled.

    After that, you can see the System UI tuner menu in the settings app, where you’ll customize the icons and how you want them to appear in the status bar, like indications for orientation, networks, headphones. You can further add more features like “do not disturb”, a, calculator and the screenshot feature if it’s available on your phone.

    Conclusion

    The simplicity of our mobile phones is what we live for. To be able to do simple but amazing things with our mobile phones is everything technology stands for.

    How to instantly share WiFi Password on Android and iOS

    Sharing WiFi passwords is a risky move, and care needs to be taken in such situations. Maybe you have friends around who don’t have a data bundle on their phones, so you want to share your data with them via WiFi.

    In this case, you might not want to give out your password for security reasons. This is why software has been introduced to share WiFi connections without actually sharing the password.

    Both Android and iOS have come up with simple and safe ways to share your WiFi without necessarily sharing your password visibly.

    In this article, I’ll discuss sharing passwords from one iPhone to another and from an iPhone to an Android phone.

    The main aim is to make sure the receiver doesn’t visibly see your WiFi password but still gets your WiFi password information on his phone to connect to your network. 

    How to share passwords from iPhone to iPhone

    To do this, Make sure WiFi and Bluetooth have turned on both the host and receiving device. Also, to ensure this is successful, you need to add the receivers Apple ID to your phone and vice versa. After this is done, your device will be ready to share its WiFi password with the other device. 

    On the receiving device;

    Step 3: Go to Choose A Network and select the WiFi network you want to connect.

    On the host device;

    Step 1: You would see an alert pop up asking if you want to Share Your WiFi.

    Step 2: select send password 

    Step 3: Your phone will share access to the WiFi network with the requesting phone. 

    Step 4: tap “done”. 

    How to share passwords from an iPhone to an Android Phone

    Because both devices are using different operating systems, this is going to take a different approach. This process is a bit complicated, so you should take care to avoid mistakes. First, you need to know that this process requires a third-party app, the QR CODE generator, to be successful. Below are the steps to take to make sure you successfully and safely share your WiFi password from your iPhone to an Android phone. 

    Step 1: Install a QR code generator on your iPhone to create codes based on your WiFi settings.

    Step 2: start the visual codes app

    Step 3: tap on “Add codes” 

    Step 4: At the bottom of the screen, tap Connect to WiFi.

    Step 5: Type the network’s name in the “name” option. 

    Step 6: Type the WiFi password, and tap the correct security type (it’s almost always WPA).

    Step 7: Type a memorable name for this WiFi connection in the Label field.

    Step 8: tap create code

    Step 9: Your new code will appear on the Codes page as part of a list along with any other codes you create for other WiFi networks. Tap an entry to display its QR code.

    Step 10: On the Android phone, start the camera and position the phone to scan the code.

    Step 11: When the WiFi network pop-up message appears, tap it to connect automatically to the network. And the iPhone’s WiFi password has successfully been shared with you. 

    Sharing a password between iPhones and Android phones is the same and vice versa.

    Whatever process you do for the iPhone when it’s the host phone should also be done for the Android phone when it’s the host sharing their password information.

    Install a QR CODE on the host device and create a code, as I’ve discussed above. It’s not a simple process but very easy to go about it when you follow the steps. 

    How To Share Password Between Two Android Phones

    Like sharing a WiFi password between an iPhone and an Android, sharing a WiFi password between Android devices also requires a QR CODE generator to share their password. But there’s a simple way to share password details on Android devices just by a few taps without QR CODES. The method is called the “nearby share method”. 

    To do this, make sure “nearby sharing” is enabled on both phones. Below are steps to take after doing that to share WiFi details with nearby Android devices. 

    Step 1: Open Settings on the host device. 

    Step 2: tap on network and internet and then select WiFi. 

    Step 3: Next, tap and select the connected WiFi network.

    Step 4:Tap on the Share option with a QR Code icon.

    Step 5: On the next page, tap on Nearby Share below the QR Code and your WiFi password.

    Step 6: Your device will then search for available devices.

    Step 7:Tap on the device you want to share the WiFi password to when found.

    Step 8: On the other device, tap Accept, and the device will automatically get connected to the WiFi network.

    The whole idea of giving another person complete visible access to your WiFi password sounds very risky in a lot of ways. The person can connect to the network with the login details they got from you and make substantial downloads with your network, disturbing you, considering the data might get exhausted.

    The methods I’ve discussed above are very safe to share your password details without the person necessarily seeing your actual password details. These are simple ways to avoid any drama and confrontation later after you’ve shared the password.
