Prevent Facebook from spying on you through the front camera on your phone!

Prevent Facebook from spying on you through the front camera on your phone!

One Facebook patent clearly shows how Facebook will use the front camera on phones to record users' facial expressions. This is not new since Facebook developed this patent in 2014 and published it in 2015.

The idea is to record the expressions of the user's leaves - emotions - during their various activities on that social network, for example, while the user likes a post. In this way, Facebook can determine (understand) even more precisely what the user likes and does not like. For some, this is a great option because they will get more relevant information on the wall, but some are also worried and wonder where privacy is?

Prevent Facebook from spying on you through the front camera on your phone!

Android would not be the best and most widespread mobile OS if it were not as good as it is and open to users, so the solution to this "problem" is in the system itself. You've probably already guessed the idea - it's removing the privilege of the Facebook application to use the device's camera.

Android 6.0+ has a built-in part where the user can disable any application related to the phone with a simple touch, e.g. to use the camera, microphone, phone memory… etc. Thus, we can revoke the permission of the Facebook application to use the camera, and the permission applies to all cameras on the phone (front and rear).

If you do not have a phone with the Android 6.0+ version, then read THIS article in which I presented a solution for older systems (requires root).

Remove Facebook application privileges:

depending on the system to system and phone to phone, this option could be located elsewhere. I am writing a tutorial for Galaxy S7 Android 7. Basically, you are looking for App Permissions.

  1. Settings > Apps
  2. Find Facebook in the list and tap on it
  3. Go down and find „App settings“ then tap on „Permissions“
  4. Turn off the camera from the list
Remove Facebook application privileges:

Another way:

  1. Settings > Apps
  2. Tap the three vertical dots in the upper left corner
  3. App permissions
  4. Find the camera from the list and tap
  5. Disable Facebook in the list

Now Facebook can no longer access the camera and when you want to take a picture and post something on the wall you will not be able to. The app will then ask you to allow the camera, and if you allow then you have to repeat that process again to turn off the camera permissions. But it is best to take a picture with the camera app and then send the picture.

How to ROOT a phone in 30 seconds

Recently, an application appeared that ROOTs some Android devices in a few seconds! You don't need Odin or anything else, just that app, and in a few seconds, your phone is rooted. An app called  ExynosAbuse can be found on the XDA forum, downloaded, and installed for free on your phone. After starting, all you have to do is press " Root device " and it will do its job in a few seconds. You don't even have to restart your phone, you will only be notified that the ROOT has passed successfully and you will see the SuperSu icon.

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

By Administrator
IMEI is an abbreviation of "international mobile equipment identity" and each mobile phone should have a unique IMEI number. You cannot change this number with the operator, but you can temporarily change it on your device. It allows the operator to accurately identify your device and thus enable/disable network services. Also, you can use the possibility of changing the IMEI number, at least for a short time, if you know exactly what you want, but I leave those ideas to you because this is an educational article.

Mobile Browsers

By Administrator
The Internet on mobile devices is becoming more popular and has more and more users. As mobile internet expands, so do mobile browsers. Although the devices themselves already have built-in basic internet browsers, new browsers are constantly appearing. The reason is that each of the programs brings something new and useful. For example, Opera Mini is most popular on older phone models that use Java applications, while on Android platforms Chrome , Firefox ,  Dolphin , and xScope are more represented.
