Attached to the photos you take on your phone are bits of information, such as when and where they were taken. On the "Consumer 101" TV show, host Jack Rico explains what you need to know about protecting your privacy.
The two things that cause the most battery drain in your iPhone are its screen and cellular service. Obviously, you know when you're actively using your phone, but your iPhone is often performing tasks in the background and even lighting up your screen without you noticing. For example, your iPhone may use cellular data to check for new Instagram posts in your feed and then turn on the screen to notify you that there are new posts.

Location services are terribly convenient, letting apps know where you are and providing useful, location-specific information, from offering directions to looking up local restaurant reviews. However, keeping your iPhone's GPS running can quickly go through your battery power. You can tell when something on your phone is using location services by the arrow icon that appears in your menu bar at the top of the screen. If you'd like to save battery life, you have several options where location services are concerned.
If you're in an area with poor cellular service, your phone will constantly hunt for a connection... and your battery life will plummet. If you know you're in an area without service, turn on Airplane Mode to shut down cellular access and save your battery power. This disables a lot of other connectivity-related battery drainers, including Bluetooth and WiFi, but if you need either of these, you can enable them even with Airplane Mode on.
However, if you know you need to save battery life, you can manually turn on Low Power Mode. Go to Settings > Battery and switch on "Low Power Mode." You can also open the Control Center and select the battery icon. Even though you'll lose some phone features, you'll still be able to do most things you need.
To the author for writing this helpful and knowledgeable article and for just by her gracious demeanor making it even more obvious that most people who own IPhones are socially inadequate and spend too much time on their phones alone. I bought an iPhone this past year and speaking from experience I think Apple programs something to make the owner become antisocial and rude, hence my comments and decision to go back to Android. Thank you all for helping to get me back to having a life!
You get a phone call, offering you a "$500 shopping spree" (or other amount). They say they're from a well-known company or a government agency. Then, the caller asks for your bank account number in order to collect a small fee. They say the fee is for shipping and handling of your vouchers. It's a scam! Never disclose financial information to unsolicited callers for any reason whatsoever. Shopping spree promotions are usually fake.
I know Path and Instagram upload your address book to their server, but how are they able to tell if a particular contact is also using the app? Does it also upload the user's phone number and thus match by phone numbers?
If you forget your Instagram password, you can ask Instagram to reset it, using your email address, phone number or your Facebook to contact you and verify your identity. If you're not sure what email address you used, you can still receive a message if you know your username or phone number or have a linked Facebook account.
If you only know the phone number associated with your Instagram account, tap "Send an SMS" on Android or "Phone" on iPhone. This will trigger a text message sent to your phone that you can use to reset your Instagram password. Again, if your phone number has changed since you set up your account and you no longer have access to that phone number, someone may be able to intercept the message to steal your account. It's generally a good idea to keep your contact information up to date with social media services for this reason. 2ff7e9595c
