Tips to avoid what happened to Jennifer Lawrence
We all know what happened to the Oscar winner, actress Jennifer Lawrence, when ultra-private photos that she sent to her longtime partner were stolen by a hacker. And while we don't all have customs as bold as those of the stars, there are family photos of our loved ones that we don't want end up in the hands of strangers.
Therefore, it is good to take precautions when using the iPhone, since it has everything predisposed so that the images end up in the iCloud. Even fans of these phones are not sure where their photos are going.
Therefore, to prevent the invasion of your data, follow the tips below.
Disable iCloud on iPhone
If you don't want your photos to end up in Apple's incomprehensible cloud, there are even instructions to disable it in the Official Guide. You must enter the Settings and check the iCloud tab.
Then everything related to the cloud must be deactivated. The first items depend on buttons that must be scrolled, but the last two have internal menus. One of them is related to the images so make sure it is off.
Delete photos from the image stream
Apparently there will be an insistence of the system in putting the photos in line to upload them to the cloud. There is a photo in the internal memory of the device and a copy goes to the torrent or streaming. It is accessed from the control panel that adjusts the albums, under the name My Photo Streaming. This is another average risk with images taken with an iPhone.
Check the cloud from your desktop computer
Finally, go to iCloud from your computer and check the content that could have been saved. Maybe more material uploaded than you could have realized. Also do it within 30 days which is the time during which you will keep them.
Also enter all the account details and deactivate boxes related to saving messages, email, contacts, photo stream, documents and of course deactivate the saving of images.
ICloud glitches
Apple stated, after the leak of Jennifer Lawrence's photos, that it is trying to perfect these details that are becoming annoying for users. Sending messages to other users with Android phones sometimes fails, because it first looks for them in the cloud and if it can't find them, quit.
In the case of iCloud, it has the predisposition to want to make a constant backup of the user's data to prevent contingencies. It is in principle a good idea, but with so much friend of the other people's data, the best thing is to decline its helpful disposition. The cloud can be great for work, but when it comes to something personal, it's best to put limits on it.
What type of smartphone do you use? Do you know how to take care of the photos you use? In what ways do you think you can ensure the use of your mobile?
