Can you predict what will happen when you step out of your house to go about your normal daily activities? Life is full of uncertainties, and no one can tell what will happen in even the next five (5) minutes, not even scientists or pastors.

Because of such situations, having an emergency contact on your phone is very important and crucial in case of an emergency. This emergency can either be an accident (whether an automobile or not), bad fall, panic attack, seizure, or cardiac arrest.

In case of either of these emergencies, talking to someone who is reachable and has a fair idea of your health status can go a long way to save you. When choosing the person for your emergency contact, you must make sure that he/she has a fair idea about you; including the drugs you are taking, your allergies, and even the sicknesses and surgeries you have undergone in the past.

Also, since almost every smartphone owner has some sort of security protecting his/her device, in case of an emergency no one can be able to unlock your phone and look through your contact list. Thus, having emergency contact on your phone makes it easier and faster to reach your relatives.

All iPhone users with supported devices (from X and above) can now lock their incognito tabs with Face ID in Chrome. Beta testers have already had this feature since February but now it is available for use by everyone.

iPhones are known to be one of the most secured smartphones in the world. Not only because of the closed-source operating system but also because of the high accuracy of their devices’ security lock, such as fingerprint and Face ID.

If you are someone who loves to browse privately, without your browsing being seen, then you have already discovered the incognito mode in the Google Chrome browser. This is helpful until you leave your phone unlocked or leave it with someone who has access to your device’s PIN code.

When this happens, whoever opens the Incognito tab in your Google Chrome browser will have access to the tabs you’ve opened. This means the Incognito mode is not private after all.

As a result of circumstances like these, Google has now included the feature whereby you can use your iPhone’s Face ID to lock your Incognito tabs in Chrome. This way, anytime you open the Incognito tab, you will be required to unlock it with Face ID. Thus, only you will have access to all the tabs you opened in Incognito.

Due to the requirement of a Face ID, this feature works on only iPhones X, XS, XR, XS Max, 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, 12 Mini, 12, 12 Pro, and 12 Pro Max.

What is Incognito Mode?

Do you know the word Privacy? If your answer is yes, then that is Incognito. Incognito is a feature on Google Chrome that allows you to browse in private (like the Private tab in Safari). When browsing using Incognito, Chrome creates a temporary session that is isolated from the browser’s main session and user data.

As a result, all the websites and pages you visit while in Incognito mode are immediately deleted from the browser’s server. Hence, they cannot be found in your browser’s history.

Even though your data is not saved, there is some information that can still be visible. Some of which include Your IP address, Your identity when you sign into a web service, like Gmail, etc, and the activity you use on such web service.

Some of the information that cannot be seen are Your browsing history, your cookies and site data, the information you entered in forms, permissions you give websites, etc.
