I kept clicking on someone's name on Instagram, but when I do click it, their profile turns blank. What does that mean?
This happens a lot and can mean three things:The user in question has blocked you. As soon as someone blocks you, you can’t see their profile using the same account.The user has deactivated their account. Usually, Instagram removes all traces of the account once its deactivated, but you might come across the username in a comment.The user has changed their username. As soon as someone changes their username, the old tag is irrelevant and will indicate a blank account.The last part can, however, mean a different thing. Once you change your username, the older username is up for grabs. And if someone takes ownership of that account, the old comments in which you were tagged using the old username, will redirect you to the new user’s profile.I hope this helps.
Am I under surveillance if screenshots are being taken randomly time-to-time of my PC, or is it any software that is taking screenshots? It is Dropbox that is saving screenshots, but I am not giving any commands to make screenshots.
Before I answer Your Question.... if possible just tell me about your Operating System and the antivirus you use.... Now the AnswerShould you worry About it?No need to worry much about this thing... It is most probably some software that you might have installed unknowingly or some friend of yours who has physical access to your computer and wants to play some prank on you can do that..... Can it be Government? As far as Government agencies are concerned, they have much more series matter to handle than taking screen shots on your computer..... they don't do such useless things unless you are a most wanted criminal of someone like Osama Bin Laden :DCan it be done remotely?It can be done remotely. One example is using windows remote desktop connection it comes pre installed with with windows OS (You can find it under programs>accessories> Remote Desktop Connection) but to use this feature you must know the IP address of the PC that you wanna control..... and again for getting an ip address one must have physical access to your PC.Is it difficult?Yeah, You can call it a little complex and i don't think so that someone would want to go to such an extent....Any other softwares that can do that?Here is a link to the list of some popular softwares that take screen shots both for windows and mac.... take a look:Five Best Screen Capture ToolsSolutions:So don't worry the solution is simple.... as already stated in some answers.....just go to your control panel and remove any program that you have not installed or you think that looks a little suspicious...... the best way is to simply backup your important files and format your pcHope it helps and thanks for A2A....!!!
How can I find out if someone is hacking my phone or if someone is getting my phone records?
Yes, definately u can find out..~Go to settings of whatever smartphone you are using~Go to applications or manage applications option whichever is available in your phone settings-Search there for any spy apk persent-you have to identify that apk out of all apk's list showing up in the interface because it can be of any name like “system” or “security” or any genuine name which can make u feel like ‘this apk is my smartphone need’ which make u keep it not delete it …actually this is what attacker wants u to believe and so is the name given to that apk… thereby making the attacker anonymous-have a look of that transparent app that was force downloaded on my mobile ….you can't UNINSTALL it.Because it has become SYSTEM app now.- if it is not present then relax but ..if it is present then immediately copy that apk to your pc and delete it from your smartphone...reason for copying to your pc is from there you can find out who is the attacker by opening it with varoius tools present on your pc and find out to whom your data packets were being transferred without your permission and attacker then can be charged for violating privacy laws.

How can I tell if my iPhone is being remotely accessed or monitored?
You could uninstall everything that is google and facebook related on your phone . iOS won't allow an app to get out of its sandbox and disturb core system files or hardware without specific permissions . If your iPhone hasn’t been jailbroken or disappeared from you for a few days so someone has physical access to it and it’s inner workings then you have nothing to worry about . Turn the device airplane mode on or have only cellular talk activated ( no data or wifi ) if you're still feeling insecure . Social media apps , uninstall . Then you could be positive you are not being monitored . You could also reset the device and erase everything to set up the device as new . Do not install or use anything , but then you could always just leave it at home , off , in airplane mode , and locked in a faraday cage .
Why isn't Google Chrome playing YouTube videos?
Because Google Chrome is tired of playing videos. Give it some time to breath. :P Just kidding.. I know that was lame. Anyway, it may not be playing videos because of the following reasons:Brower not updated - running an older version of browser that doesn't support flash and html5Adobe flash not installed or updatedBrowser settings has flash and java disabledInternet connection is too slow to load the videos (less likely a scenario, as you somehow managed to post on Quora using the same internet I assume)Graphic driver has crashed (offline videos will also not play, if this happened)So, try to figure out and let me know what the reason was. Also, send a screenshot if problem persists.
What are some cool WhatsApp tricks?
You need a spare SIM Card for this.If you think you are addicted or wish to go off WhatsApp for sometime without deleting your account or using the 'Change number' option available on WhatsApp (because this notifies all groups that you are a member of) or uninstalling , follow the steps below -1. Go to Settings >> Applications >> WhatsApp >> Clear dataNow you are logged out of WhatsApp without uninstalling the application and nobody is notified about this. Also, you stop getting any new notification messages.2. Now sign in using your new SIM number. Insert the spare SIM card you have in another phone for sometime (to receive one time verification code).WhatsApp will first try to auto verify your number. Since that will fail, as you are signing in with a different SIM number, it will ask you to enter the verification code. Enter the code you receive on the new number (you will receive a text message or call)Once the verification and initialization is done - You have a new WhatsApp account on the same phone You have all your contacts No groups (:D) without being rude Nobody has been notified about this. You didn't have to uninstall WhatsApp. And you still have your old account with all the groups too. You still get to use your other number for everything else except WhatsAppSo you can now carefully choose whom you want to share this number with and keep your notifications limited. You can also recharge this new SIM and keep it as spare for emergencies. Most importantly - You can now switch between these two WhatsApp accounts on this device anytime you want without verification code (WhatsApp asks for it only once for a new device)This trick is particularly useful if you think you are addicted and want to limit your usage or you have exams or something important coming up. Now you can keep WhatsApp communication open to few people without being rude to others.
On Facebook, if I share a photo or status to a private group or in a private message, will the original poster know?
Answer to this question would be a big NO,If the above statement would become true then big pages or celebrities or any specified person will get flooded with tons of notifications blinking every second. The original poster will be only notified about the engagements happening on his post like if someone liked, commented or shared anywhere. Now here we are contradicting our own statement by saying first that user won't be notifies besides I just wrote that he will get notification if the post is shared but if you look closely you asked if he will be notified when the post is shared in a private group or message. Now clearing this up, private group conversation or posts does not appears in facebook feed so you are free to do anything you want and only members of that group will be notified about it no one else. I hope my answer summarized points for you.
How do I attach an image to my Quora question?
According to Sarah Madden, [Sarah Madden's answer to How do I attach an image to my Quora question?] we are no longer able to attach images to Questions. (Thank you, Sarah!)Therefore, these instructions will be for adding an image, or photo, to an Answer to illustrate what you are writing about.First, the picture you want to use has to be uploaded into your computer from your phone, or camera, and preferably as a jpg file, although a gif file will work, too.Next, decide where you want the picture to appear and click there at the left margin. That will hold the place for your picture insertion.On the top right, you’ll see a dark square. If you hover your mouse over it, it says, “Photo”. Click on it and then click on the word “Upload” at the top of the pop up.Find the picture in your picture file and double click on it. It will appear on your right where you saved a place for it.I hope this helped.Edit: Special thanks to Robert Stone.“CJ's note seems to work for the Chrome browser under Windows, but the Quora software does not produce the same results for Firefox users.In Firefox, under Windows, the browser will not show the little editing bar at all; in Chrome it does. Quora has a deplorable lack of stated user information such as minimum system requirements or a clear description of the software interface.For users with Firefox, either drag and drop images into the answer window, or use the copy and paste method, it will work.”
