Technology: WhatsApp's trick to know which contacts are online and when they connect
Technology: The 5 WhatsApp tricks that will make your life easier
Before 2003, in Spain nobody knew that it was a social network.
Myspace came to change, very little by little, as we related, paving the way for Facebook.
Like the profiles that we know and manage now, the portal back then shared photos, interacted with other users, and even uploaded songs.
Thanks to this social network, Arctic Monkeys, Lily Allen and in our country, Russian Red, went from being anonymous to signing record contracts.
Even years later, a still unknown Lady Gaga offered a free concert in Madrid in exchange for adding her to this social network.
Almost a decade later, social networks began to focus on different content.
LinkedIn focused on work contacts, Facebook went from focusing on university students to becoming the favorite social network to share opinions and news (something that almost led to their ruin after the last US elections), Twitter turned to microblogging and From among all of them another social network emerged focused on the world of photography, Instagram.
This social network, like WhatsApp, is currently owned by Facebook, owner and lord of our social interactions in the virtual medium, although that is another story.
Instagram had such a huge impact that it even 'manufactured' a new kind of celebrity.
Until then there were people who became famous for singing, for painting, for going to outer space, for rubbing shoulders or intimately relating to other celebrities, but there was no one recognized for taking photos in front of a mirror.
The 'influencers' had just been born and that was already an unstoppable phenomenon.
The truth is that no matter how much rejection they cause you, if you are an Instagram user you have also uploaded photos of a coffee or a Valencian paella looking at the Malvarrosa beach.
In the end, as a user of this social network, falling into vaudeville is relatively easy and as part of that digital narcissism, knowing who gossips your profile and is entertained by looking at the photos of your vacations from 2012 to 2020 is perfectly normal.
After this historical review of the brief history of social networks, from Pixel we explain some tricks to expose the gossips, in addition to warning you of those third-party applications that promise a lot and offer rather little.
First of all, Instagram does not reveal who visits your profile.
So what am I reading this for, you wonder.
We clarify, there are some tricks with which you can deduce like a digital Sherlock Holmes who reviews your profile on a regular basis.
There are no magic apps
All the programs, applications and websites that promise to reveal that people look at your photos, the only thing they take a good look at is your personal data.
There are many, many, but they are all false, without exception.
In addition, you will be lucky if the only inconvenience you suffer is that they do not work, since many of them can install some type of virus or malware on your phone or computer.
For example, an Instagram user revealed in a live show that after installing one of these applications from an apk downloaded from a website, her mobile began to make short calls to an international pay phone in the background, without her knowing.
He was aware when his telephone company informed him via SMS that he had exceeded 100 euros in monthly spending on premium services (calls and messages with a cost much higher than normal calls and messages).
In addition, many of these applications can be used as a phishing method to obtain personal data from the user that can then be used to impersonate their identity in banks and take money from the account.
In the event that you have chopped and have one of these applications installed right now, we recommend that you make sure to uninstall it and completely remove it from your phone, in addition to deleting all the data and folders that you may have created in the terminal.
Instagram Stories
The first clue about which people usually look at your profile will be found by looking at the users who enter your stories.
When you share a photo, video or publication, it will be shared with the rest of the world for 24 hours, enough time to count those loyal users who do not miss a single one when it comes to the updates of your life.
If in addition to gossiping your stories, they react to them, participate in your surveys and even mention you in their own stories, these users undoubtedly consult your profile almost every day.
Pay attention to notifications
Another telltale behavior is interacting with your posts.
For example, those fleeting 'likes' that appear in photos from 2012 that show that this person has made a photobiographical review of your profile.
It may happen that the person, being aware that a 'like' has slipped on an old photo of you, recoils and takes his heart.
Then Instagram will not indicate the corresponding notification in the menu that appears by pressing the heart that is in the lower area of the app, although if you were attentive or were just using the mobile at the right moment in which that 'like' escaped , if you have witnessed the carelessness, being able to point out the suspected user of gossiping daily.
Also, another tactic to attract attention is to compulsively 'like' multiple photos so that when you check the notifications, you will see their profile repeatedly.
Company accounts
If instead of a particular profile you have a company account, in each profile photograph you will see statistics about the interaction of your publication, such as the number of 'likes', comments, times shared and saved, visits to the profile and the reaching.
Although it should be noted that all this information is numerical, it does not reveal the profiles that visited the profile, nor those who saved the photograph or those who saw it accessing, for example, through the hashtag.
The only interactions you will be able to put a name and a face on are those of the likes and the comments.
