    How to Send Secret Messages on Facebook

    ​Facebook Messenger’s End-To-End Encryption Is Now Live For All Users after being in beta for some time now.

    WhatsApp (which is also owned by Facebook) already has end-to-end encryption. Now, Facebook has finally introduced this end-to-end encryption to it’s Messenger platform.

    You can also access the option when you click on “details” on any of your contacts on Messenger

    There are an estimated 900 million Facebook users and they can all now access this “Secret Conversations” option on Messenger. Secret Conversations is an opt-in (meaning you have to choose to use it) functionality that allows users to encrypt their messages so no one can read them, not even Facebook itself.

    Due to encryption, you can only use one device at a time to chat when using the feature.

    Once you make use of the Secret Conversations, you are presented with a message that reads, “Your messages are already secure, but Secret Conversations are encrypted from one device to another.”

    If your Messenger app has been updated, you will see a Secret option located on the top right-hand side of the “new message” screen.

    The encryption feature allows users to choose an expiration time for the message, like on Snapchat.

    Secret Conversations take you to a whole new chat screen

    The time period will range from five seconds to a complete day. This way, your messages will be deleted from the core as soon as the set time expires.

    You can choose how long it takes for your message to disappear after it has been seen.

    Remember, the feature is only available to those who have updated their apps. If you want to secure your conversations, then be sure to update your Messenger app.

    What do you think about this feature? Would you use it?

  • How to Gain Followers on Twitter and Become Popular

    Everyone on twitter needs followers in one way or the other. You need followers, I need followers too. Twitter without followers is boring. Who do you get to retweet and like your tweets? But how do you get more followers?​​

    1. Follow others Twitter Rule 101: Follow people and they will follow you back. Want to know who really follow? Let me “show” you a quick way!

    All you’ve got to do is go and on of these into Twitter: Followback, Ffback, Follow me, Follow for follow, F4F.

    Then you just have to go and follow everyone who followers the biggest follow back networks. You can do say 150 to 300 a day, without getting suspended by Twitter.

    Oh, you can choose to unfollow some of them, but that’s a bad habit. 🙁

    2. Great Profile – Killer Avatar + Championing Bio

    Most people will follow the “cool” people on social media. You have to really really look cool if you want real good followers. A good header photo and a brilliant avatar is fine. Then put something very sweet in the Bio. Most people use very nice logos but you could use your very own photo.

    For the header photo, you can get some very beautiful ones off Google Photos. Make sure each section of your profile complements each other and your visitors will be compelled to follow you.

    3. Trending Issues

    What’s trending on twitter is what gets attention on twitter. Sometimes, you need to follow the crowd to get the crowd to recognize you. Whatever! One rule, however, do it in a better way and get better attention.

    You should check out what’s trending and join in.

    Check the trending topic, tweet on it, get some retweets and likes and rack up following in the process. Some people can not “create” so you may as well “steal” tweets and reference the author. Hahaha!

    Other Tips: Use photos, vines, engage your audiences and follow me.

  • Whatsapp Now Allows you to tag someone in a Group Chat

    Whatsapp Now Allows you to tag someone in a Group Chat

    Note: This is different from the ability to quote messages.

    WhatsApp has now added the ability for users in group chats to tag other participants in the group (like in slack, or on Facebook and twitter), so they receive a notification even if they’ve muted the conversation. The feature works on Android and iOS version of the popular instant messaging app.

    For someone like myself who is in over 150 groups on whatsapp, I’m not so excited about this. However, this update should have a good effect on productivity on the app.

    You can tag more than one person in a post

    To tag someone, simply enter the ‘@’ symbol, followed by their name; you can choose a contact from the menu that pops up. You can tag multiple contacts in a single message. It also works with contacts that you haven’t saved to your address book, but are part of the same group chat as you.

    Clicking on a tagged name in a conversation will take you directly to the participant’s profile.

    Have you updated your WhatsApp? Have you tried this? Let me know.
