Skype: what is the difference between blocking someone and removing them from your contacts?
When you remove someone from your contacts, both of you don’t see the conversation history and online status. You can accept them later at any time.When you block someone, you get a notification that you blocked them, but they don’t — your status is always offline to them, but they often get a notification when you go online, if they didn’t unfriend you. You can’t send or receive messages from them, but they can still send you messages, pending unblock. You can’t see if they’re online or not. Although not required, you may choose to remove them from your contacts.
Will the sender know if you decline the direct message on instagram?
No. If you decline a Direct Message, it means that you aren’t following them. This also means you can read their message without them seeing it. They’ll only see it if you approve it.If you decline it, they won’t see you’ve read it nor will they in any way be able to know you have declined it.
On Skype, is there a way to tell if someone is saving your sent pictures to their device or screenshotting them?
No.No matter what app is used, practically any device can screenshot received pictures.If you must send your “date” pictures, send flowers and oceans, mountains and rivers. Photos of your academic and sporting achievements, your hobbies and career aspirations, your cooking and exercise habits. These will impress her or him more than your inappropriate personal photos… and if that isn't true, then you're dating the wrong person (or you deserve each other).Before sending anything to anyone, ask yourself whether you'd be cool for your mother, your boss and your next partner to see what you're sending.We are all young once and make mistakes. Best wishes… I hope you escape from your situation without too much embarrassment!
How do I know if someone is taking screenshot of you in skype? Does there any app that can find other person is taking screenshot of your video call?
This is the question you can ask when someone tells you that “Nothing is impossible”.You can’t actually know if they take a screenshot, not that I know of any application for that in my experience with Skype.What you can do is, you can notice if they have their eyes and hands on key board. If they have hands on keyboard you should be careful.Image Source: How I Met Your Mother Jed Mosely GIF - Find & Share on GIPHY
If you try to call someone on Skype when they're offline, do they get notified that you tried to call them?
Offline Automatically displayed when you’re not signed in to Skype. You can also set your status to offline by clicking your status icon and selecting it from the list.When offline, you cannot send instant messages or make or receive calls. Instant messages sent to you will be available when you sign on, independent of the sender's online status.So no, they will not get notified unless they go online. That's the only time they will get notified that someone has been calling them. But you can try CALL FORWARDING if you would like your friends to contact even if you're not ONLINE on Skype.Appears next to a contact if they’re not available but have call forwarding or Voice Messaging set up.If you set up call forwarding on your own Skype account, calls can be forwarded to your work, home or mobile phone when you can’t take them online, so you need never miss a Skype call.This feature is only available on Windows desktop or Mac.
Anyone experienced email scams or can recognise it?
Ok so I was on a dating site, yes yes laugh it up, anyway, I went to a dating site and got a message from a girl named Sandra Thomas. We trade email addresses and have been emailing each other for about a week. Anyway I read up on email scams but o can't determine if she is one. She's been patient for the week letting me know about her and asking me questions. She seems like an amazing woman. So why do I question it? Couple redflags came up. 1. She told me to ask questions in the email yet she hasn't answered any of them through 3 emails. 2. She says shed like to relocate to me but at the moment she's in U.K. modeling for a bikini. 3. She hasn't commented once about info I've given her about myself. I mean its natural to inquire things about someone's past or personal history right? Now she hasn't asked me for any money but these red flags have me a little on edge. So if you can give me a second opinion that would be great. I just don't want to rush into something I'm only going to get hurt for. I still have the emails so if you want to see them just ask. I'll email them to you. Thanks for your help.
Is it possible to read Facebook messages without the recipient knowing?
Presuming you mean Facebook Messenger, yes you can. You would need to do the following:On a mobile phone, open up the messenger app but do NOT open the message.Put your phone into “Airplane” mode. Switch back to FB Messenger.Open / read the message. When you are done reading etc, mark the message as “unread”.Go back to settings and take the phone out of Airplane mode.Second method on on a desktop / laptop.Open FB in the Chrome browser. If you don’t have it, download it. Great browser.Go to the extensions store and look for “Unseen for Facebook” and install it on the chrome browser.Once installed, you can turn on / off seeing any messages posted in FB messages with Unseen (the toggle switch is on the right side of the address bar). Just be sure to turn it off so things are back to normal.I hope this helps.
How do you know that your Skype contact saw your messages?
They say they did, you believe them, and both these things amount to the same matter of fact (which has not a damn thing, necessarily, to do with Skype).The internet is simply a complex convention of well-meant lies masquerading as an unconventional (hyper?) form of reality. It is a silicon-based fiction of traces, a misrepresentation of the real. It is the appearance-appearance-reality-gap gap.There is less certainty in its contents than all the other non-internet based stuff people feel certain about, but really have no good reason to believe either.You seem to me set to create some pointless drama by seeking some kind of certainty that simply does not exist. Even if Skype had read receipts they would be spoofable (as everything online is!!!). You would gain less than you think.Ask the contact in question. If you think they are lying why are they a contact? If you have no choice but for them to be an unreliable contact (that you let in, this is the genius of Skype that few get, only YOU let your contacts in!!!) then the problem might be with you, not them.Otherwise you just seem paranoid OR fixated on control and certainty.Communication is not a game, it is the hope for progress.It requires TRUST.When that fails it requires FORGIVENESS.Never certainty, never control.There’s probably an app for that though ; )
I sent a Skype contact request and the person appears in contacts but I was never notified it was accepted. How do I know if my messages are seen?
If you received at least one message from that Contact, it means that she either explicitly or implicitly accepted your contact request.Or simply look at the Contact icon. If you see a face or an icon, like your other Contacts, it means that she is now a Contact.
Will the other person find out if I save our conversation on Snapchat?
I found this out the hard way. Yes, they do know. When you save it, it alerts the other person that the chat or pic was saved. But I have to say when someone saved something I had sent I wasn’t too happy about it. So I am glad to know that feature does exist. But like anything there’s other ways to keep something. I had a really sweet conversation with my daughter that I wanted to keep. I just took my tablet and took a picture of the conversation. It was sweet and full of love. Something that teenagers seem to lose for awhile sometimes so I wanted to cherish it. It wasn’t harmful or something to be used against her etc. Just a keepsake for this Mom. And she knows I kept a pic. I told her later. She was fine with it. Mom guilt. ;)Snapchat is often meant to be a “One and done” sort of app. in many ways. I like that about it. That’s one way that makes it very different from others.
