Nowadays it is normal to have Facebook, Instagram, YouTube in every user's phone. Almost every person uses all these apps. But have you ever thought that when you search something on Google, then you start seeing ads related to it on Facebook Instagram. Once you watch a video on YouTube, then from the very next second, more videos like it start coming in your suggestions.
There will be a question in the mind of many users that why this happens. Actually this happens because tech companies earn revenue through ads and all these apps keep an eye on you, any of your activity or search is tracked.
To avoid this, do this setting
If you do not want anyone to keep an eye on you and maintain your privacy on social media, then you can turn off the setting showing ads and suggestions in your phone. Social media and tech companies give users the option of setting privacy settings.
Be careful while installing the app
Whenever you install an app in the phone, they are asked for permission to access personal information like contacts, files, location, so do not give it permission. There are some apps that get access to your location, data, files and contacts present in the phone and keep tracking you continuously.
Bloatware i.e. viruses are present in many apps, which keep transferring your phone's data to the app developers. If you do not give them permission then these apps fail to access the data of your device.
Avoid giving permissions by mistake
If you have given permission while installing the app, then you can easily remove it, for this you just go to the setting of your phone and click on the option with manage permission. Here you can check which app has got data permission, after that you can turn it off. In this process, no app will be able to access any information like location from your phone.
Some Google apps are already pre-installed in Android smartphones, which include Google Search, YouTube, Facebook etc., you can manage the permissions of these apps.
