Google is planning to do something about secure-looking HTTPS websites which can house insecure HTTP forms for you to fill in your passwords and other personal data.
Coming this October, Chrome 86 will protect against HTTP forms on HTTPS sites. As announced on an official Chrome blog post, beginning in M86, Chrome will warn users when they try to complete forms on secure (HTTPS) pages that are submitted insecurely. These “mixed forms” (forms on HTTPS sites that do not submit on HTTPS) are a risk to users’ security and privacy. Information submitted on these forms can be visible to eavesdroppers, allowing malicious parties to read or change sensitive form data.
How will this feature work and stops you from typing into risky text boxes?
Specifically, Chrome will be making the following changes to communicate the risks associated with mixed form submission:
Autofill will be disabled in mixed forms.
Note: On mixed forms with login and password prompts, Chrome’s password manager will continue to work. Chrome’s password manager helps users input unique passwords, and it is safer to use unique passwords, even on forms that are submitted insecurely than to reuse passwords.
When a user begins filling out a mixed form, they will see warning text alerting them that the form is not secure.
If a user tries to submit a mixed form, they will see a full-page warning alerting them of the potential risk and confirming if they’d like to submit anyway.
Google has also previously tried to alert users to this issue by removing the lock icon when it detected an HTTP form, but the company says, “Users found this experience unclear, and it did not effectively communicate the risks associated with submitting data in insecure forms.”
Instagram is now an inevitable part of everyone living in this modern world. Instagram files and documents are essential and sometimes becomes a matter of life for people. Deleting Instagram accounts, or photos, and videos can be done accidentally, and the owner may look for a way to recover the deleted ones.
How to see deleted Instagram photos?
If you are the one using Instagram in your everyday life, and you have deleted a photo accidentally, here is the way you may find the one.
The only ways to find the deleted Instagram photos are through saved pictures on the mobile gallery (if you turn the option on already), Instagram data download, and searching the web.
You should remember some points before looking for delete photos:
If you are looking for someone else deleted photos, I would say that you cannot access, unless you have their Instagram login info (or access to the app), and email address.
The above is valid for the archived post by others
If you were looking for your own deleted photos, there is no guarantee that you can find them
Method #1: Check the gallery of your phone
There is an option on Instagram to save photos and videos in your mobile gallery. So, a folder would separately be created on your phone named Instagram to archive your photos.
Method #2: Check Facebook
If you connected the Instagram to your Facebook account, or you already created the Instagram by Facebook, there should be a folder named Instagram on your Facebook gallery.
If you open your Facebook account, in the photos section, you should see the Instagram folder.
Method #3: Check the Instagram data
The other way is to download your Instagram and check if you can find them there.
To download your Instagram data:
Open the Instagram app
Login to your account by entering the username and password
Go to your profile by tapping the profile picture on the right bottom of the Home
Find the three-line icon on the top right of the screen
Go to Security
Find Download data
Enter the email address (you have access to it)
Wait for couple e of minutes
Once the download link is ready, Instagram will notify you
Follow the link and download the data on your computer or mobile phone
Extract the file
Find the photos folder
Check if your deleted photos are there
Method #4: Search the web
You can search your Instagram username, and go through the Google image search. All the images related to your username would appear there. If your account was public, some of the websites might archive your photos. You can find them there.
How to hide Instagram photos without deleting them?
It is better to hide and archive the photos from the Instagram profile instead of deleting them. If you hide a picture, no one can see it on your profile, and it goes to the archived posts on Instagram. You only can see the archived posts on Instagram through your Instagram app.
To hide a photo from a profile without deleting it:
Open the Instagram app and log in to your account
The tap profile picture on the right bottom
Find any photos from your feed
Tap three-dot icon on top right
Select Archive
Now, the photo would disappear from your Instagram feed
To show the archived photos on Instagram profile:
Open the Instagram app and log in to your account
The tap profile picture on the right bottom
Tap three-line icon on the top right of the Instagram profile
Go to Archive
Select posts or stories
Find the archived posts
Tap three-dot icon on the top right of the post
Select show on profile
Now you can see the post on your Instagram feed
How to see deleted Instagram posts of others
There is no way to see deleted Instagram posts of others once they are deleted by the original poster. This is not only about Instagram, and most of the social media platforms do not allow any one to see deleted posts anymore.
There is only a chance that someone might have taken a screenshot of it (or you work at Facebook or Instagram); otherwise, you can’t, and if you try and use the post URL (if you even had it to begin with), you’ll get a notification: “Sorry, this page isn’t available.” So as disappointing it might be to you, there is no way to see deleted Instagram posts of others when the poster decided to remove them.
Conclusion
Knowing some tips on Instagram would help you to perform better. It is good to archive the posts instead of deleting them. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
Telegram has announced that its video calling feature is now available for both ios and Android on its 7th anniversary. The latest alpha version enables all users to access the video calling feature. The one-on-one video calling feature can be accessed by all users through PlayStore or App Store. If it is not immediately available, users should update the app to see the feature.
How to video call on Telegram?
As Telegram has described in their latest blog post, there are a few easy steps to take in order to start video calling on the platform.
Tap the profile page of the person you want to connect with. Users are able to switch video on or off at any time during a call, and the video calls support picture-in-picture mode, so users can continue scrolling through the app if that call gets boring. Video calls will have end-to-end-encryption, Telegram’s blog posts states, one of the app’s defining features for its audio calls and texting.
Users have to follow these steps to make a call on Telegram:
Open the Telegram app.
Go to the profile page or click on the three lines on the left-hand side.
Click on the Calls option from a left-hand side window.
Choose the contact with which call has to be made.
Once the call is active, users can switch to the video mode.
“Our apps for Android and iOS have reproducible builds, so anyone can verify encryption and confirm that their app uses the exact same open-source code that we publish with each update,” according to the post.
Video calls will receive more features and improvements in future versions, as Telegram works toward launching group video calls in the coming months. But for this midyear milestone, you can now enjoy a little one-on-one time with those closest to you, whether they’re in the other room or on another continent.
TikTok is losing its popularity since the latest ios update alerted users that TikTok was copying their clipboard, and many users have complained about the way it spies on their data and information or snoops on the data they have on other applications.
After that, countries such as India started banning TikTok, and now the US is even considering banning the app. These controversies and issues have made, so many users to boycott the ap and quit using it entirely. But for those who are still using TikTok and do not give a damn about these matters, I have some good news.
For those who are looking to maximize their TikTok presence, TikTok has this week published some new pointers on how to make the best use of its analytics tools, which are available on TikTok Pro accounts.
How to get TikTok analytics tools?
As I mentioned above, in order to access the new TikTok analytics options, you first need to switch to a pro-TikTok account. Follow the steps below to convert your account to a professional one:
From your profile page, open the Privacy and Settings tab
Choose “Manage My Account”
Tap “Switch to Pro Account”
From there, you need to select the category for your pro account – ‘Creator’ or ‘Business.’ You then enter the topic category for your profile, and any additional details as requested (mostly basic), and that’s it – you now have a TikTok Pro account.
Now that you are done, and your account is a TikTok pro account, you can access the TikTok analytics section as below:
“Once you’ve switched, you’ll find your analytics in the “Pro Account” page of your settings. On a desktop, you can access the Analytics page by hovering over your profile photo in the upper-right corner of your screen and clicking “View Analytics.” You can also download and export your Analytics directly to your computer when you access TikTok from your desktop device.”
The Social Media Today website later clarified the TikTok analytics options in more detail, which are brought to you below. Keep reading to find out everything about the metrics on TikTok analytics.
There are three elements to TikTok analytics:
Overview – The Overview section provides a general summary of your account’s performance over time. “You’ll see the total number of times your videos were viewed, the number of users who follow your account, and the number of times your profile was viewed.”
Content – Here, you can see a listing of your uploads from the past seven days, in order of newest to oldest videos. You can also see videos that are trending on your account. “These are the top nine videos with the fastest growth in view numbers over the past seven days.”
Followers – And the last tab is ‘Followers,’ which displays your follower count over time so you can view trends in audience growth. You can also access an overview of total likes, comments, and shares that your videos have received.
As with all social platforms, TikTok’s analytics data provides guidance as to how you can improve your performance and maximize your content efforts.
The hottest news of the day is out now. Facebook has started merging Facebook and Instagram chats.
From now on, the chats of Facebook messenger and Instagram are merged, and you’ll most probably see a pop-up informing you about this update as soon as you open Instagram.
Most of you must have noticed this update’s pop-up till now which says “There’s a New Way to Message on Instagram” with a list of features including a “new colorful look for your chats,” more emoji reactions, swipe-to-reply, and the big one: “chat with friends who use Facebook.”
What will change after the merge of Facebook and Instagram chats?
There will surely be a few differences after this new Instagram update, and as soon as your chats are merged. A thing to note is that the update is for both iOS and Android devices.
According to The Verge, once you hit update, the regular DM icon in the top right of Instagram is replaced by the Facebook Messenger logo. Chats on Instagram are indeed more colorful than before, with the sender’s messages shifting between blue and purple as you scroll. However, at least for right now, it’s still not possible to message Facebook users from Instagram.
But Facebook has made clear its plans to unify the messaging platforms of its hugely popular apps to allow cross-messaging among Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Facebook was said to be rebuilding the underlying infrastructure so users who were on only one of its apps could connect to others using different Facebook apps. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has also said he wants the system to be end-to-end encrypted. By integrating its most popular apps, Facebook may be able to compete more directly with Apple’s iMessage.
And also, in another step to integrate its family of apps that are being used by 3.14 billion users globally, Facebook has also integrated Messenger rooms with WhatsApp on the Web.
Facebook messenger has added another useful and interesting update for Facebook group admins, which makes group management a lot easier. In The messenger update, there is a new post-level analytics option that will provide more context as to how people are engaging with group updates.
Facebook has explained the more about the feature officially by sharing the below statement:
“With post-level metrics, admins can easily see the reach of a post with the unique number of people who’ve seen the post as well as engagement by reactions, comments, shares, and clicks. Each post also shows the number of active members in the group at the time of post, a key driver of reach and engagement.”
Some of the metrics are the ones that have previously been enabled, but some of them are new and make things much more convenient. For example, options such as reactions, comments, and shares are all displayed on each post and are not new in this update. The main additions are things like photo views, post hides, and active members, which, as Facebook notes, could help to focus your engagement strategies.
Who is considered an “active” group member regarding this update?
Facebook has a fixed definition for determining who is called an “active” member on a messenger group, which is “A member is considered active at the time of post if they have viewed group content in the group or in News Feed in the past 28 days.”
So it’s not people who were actively engaging in the group at the time you posted, its people who’ve been active over the last month.
The very well-known social media expert, Matt Navara, has shared this news with us today, telling us that this feature is finally officially rolled out today, but not all users have access to it yet.
Facebook says that the option will initially be tested with a small number of groups, on all devices, over the next few months.
Note that only posts created after this feature begins testing in your group will show these insights.

You can limit who replies to your tweets from now on. Now you can have a little more control over who shows up in your mentions.
Twitter has been testing this feature for months, and it today finally announced that its new tweet reply control options are being made available to all users on iOS, Android, and twitter.com. Keep up with me to get to know how this feature works and how to use it to manage your tweet replies for good.
Here is how the feature works:
Starting today, A small globe icon will start to appear at the bottom of your tweet, and if you do nothing, everyone will still be able to reply — this is the default option. Or, you can tap it and limit replies just to those who follow you; or just to those who you tag in the tweet itself. As Twitter has clarified more about the new feature, it works as explained below:
Before you Tweet, choose who can reply with three options:
1) Everyone (standard Twitter, and the default setting).
2) Only people you follow.
3) Only people you mention.
Tweets with the latter two settings will be labeled, and the reply icon will be grayed out for people who can’t reply. People who can’t reply will still be able to view, Retweet, Retweet with Comment, share, and like these Tweets.”
As it seems, the test has been very good, and users have shown that they liked the feature so much. Users in the test pool have said that they feel more comfortable tweeting, and more protected from spam and abuse, which has lead to them tweeting longer, more in-depth thoughts, particularly on sensitive subjects.
But there is another concern, which is that by limiting who can respond to tweets, politicians and brands will theoretically be able to silence opposing viewpoints, which could make their statements appear more accepted than they actually are.
Pinterest has announced two new and very interesting options and improvements in the platform. First us the improvement for its skin tone search feature with which users can filter by skin tone to get more relevant results, and second is the addition of more brands and options for the AR Try-On Program.
Keep reading to find out more about these two new feature improvements, how they work, and how to make use of them.
Skin Tone search feature
Pinterest is expanding the availability of its skin tone matching options. The feature is designed to make it easier for users to find content relevant to them, says Pinterest. It’s a common problem in the search world that certain queries default to show white faces. By giving users the option to refine their searches based on skin tones, Pinterest says it helps users find the content they want to see.
This feature would be a very useful feature for getting the exact result a user wants. Imagine you can get image search results exactly for what you aim to see. The company offers searches like “grey hair on dark skin women,” “blonde hair color ideas for fair skin blue eyes,” and “soft natural makeup for Black women “as examples of the sort of fine-grained results the feature can deliver.
“Skin tone ranges (our inclusive beauty results search feature) is now available beyond the US- in the UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand – and the design has been refreshed to surface options right from search results.”
The skin tone search option was rolled out in January last year, and it has made search results more personalized for each user, and now people in more regions will be able to access the same.
The Try-On feature
Pinterest is also expanding its AR Try-On program, with more brands signing on to take part in the new initiative. This feature, which is a very useful option, by the way, lets users search for lipstick shades and try them on in AR. This feature is currently only available in the US but is launching in the UK “in the coming months.”
This feature is mainly rolled out to make it easier for people to shop and be a little surer of their choice when deciding which product suits them.
The easier it is to try on, the more people are likely to buy, as Pinners come to Pinterest early in their shopping journey. Since augmented reality technology launched in January, Pinners try on an average of six lipstick shades and are 5x more likely to show purchase intent on Try on-enabled Pins than standard Pins.
