Whether or not they’re the reason, the best way to keep your battery from dying is to take advantage of dfndr’s powerpro.  powerpro will make your phone battery last longer by allowing you to see which of your phone’s applications are using the most energy. It can then close the apps that are draining your battery, and offer suggestions for improving your phone’s battery life.  

Instagram
You may be wondering how Instagram can be draining your battery even when you’re not using it that often. Many people are not aware that, even though they aren’t looking at Instagram, it is still running in the background. The only way to be sure that Instagram isn’t running in the background is to fully close the app instead of just exiting it. Another aspect of Instagram that could be draining your battery is the location feature. If you have given Instagram permission to your location, then Instagram will be constantly searching for your location even when you’re not using the app. The best way to get rid of this is by going to the Instagram permissions and turning off location.

Facebook
One reason Facebook is draining so much battery is because the app is constantly updating with new information behind the scenes. In order to stop Facebook from draining your battery, you need to turn off the “background app refresh” permission. This “background app refresh” is the reason that every app, particularly social media and news apps, are constantly updating with new information. By turning this off, this will save you battery. App developers like to have frequent updates, so apps like Facebook could be secretly updating all day and draining your battery life.

Snapchat
A great way to reduce how much battery Snapchat is using is by turning Snapchat on “Travel Mode” in the app’s settings. By turning it to travel mode, Snapchat will run less in the background and save you battery. Another thing that really drains your battery is using the snapchat camera all day. The camera uses a ton of battery life and can really drain your phone battery if you have it open for long periods of time throughout the day.

Secure Your Accounts with Strong Passwords

One password just isn’t enough when it comes to protecting your social media accounts. Too often, users on Facebook and other social networks use weak passwords. These passwords may be easy to remember but they are often too simple, which makes gives hackers an opportunity to break into your accounts.

One password can be tricky to bypass, but two passwords — especially when they follow the current best practices for a password — is almost impossible. Remember: don’t use any personal information in your password. Resist the urge to include your favorite color, your birthday, or the name of your significant other or child. Don’t use the names of your pets, the place you live, or simple “12345” passwords. Make it tricky, make it complicated, and rely on Social Guardian for that extra level of protection.

Change Your Passwords Regularly

What’s more, users don’t seem to remember to change their passwords often enough. Instead, they use the same password for their social networks, and sometimes across all of their social networks, without considering the consequences of those actions. A hacker could easily compromise all accounts if the same password is used for every account.

Social Media Apps Are Heavily Targeted by Hackers

An experienced hacker doesn’t need much time to mess with your phone, break into your accounts, and steal whatever information they need. Sometimes they will then create a copycat, duplicate account in order to prey upon your followers.

Your accounts could also be targeted by malicious individuals that you know. All it takes is one person who knows is angry at you to use what they know and break into your account. There are plenty of stories of break-ups, divorces, and feuds with friends. They could get into your account and act like you, posting things you typically wouldn’t want posted.

Get to Know Your Friends
Miitomo gives you the chance to learn fun facts about your friends and learn the answers to interesting questions that might not ever naturally pop up in conversation. The platform is built around answering random icebreaker questions and conversation starters that are only shared with people you’ve added as friends. Questions range from silly (“What’s your favorite thing about cats?”) to somewhat serious (“What’s the most daring thing you have done?”), and are sometimes a little reminiscent of a marketing survey (“How often do you buy a new cellphone?”). You might even learn a little something about yourself!

When your friends come to visit your avatar and vice versa, you are sometimes prompted to answer questions specifically about them. For example, your friend’s Mii might ask you what you think about them or who you think they’re crushing on. Answers to these questions are kept private between you and your friend.

What’s the Scoop?
Miitomo rewards you for chatting with your friends. Literally. Talk to your friend’s avatars and reply to their answers to earn coins, game tickets, and complete missions. You can even get creative and post photo replies using their Miis, special backgrounds, and props. The more friends you add, the higher your popularity score will be and the more cool prizes you’ll earn.

The app will show you how many questions your friend has answered and how many of those you’ve seen. There’s a limit to how much your friends will spill each day, so if you’re hoping to get juicy gossip or just want to be nosey, you’ll have to bribe them with candy.

Show Off Your Fun Side
Answering questions isn’t the only way to show off your personality. Dress your avatar in silly costumes or show off the rare accessories you’ve won from Miitomo drop, a plinko-like arcade game. Special Miitomo drop events are active for a limited time, keeping the game exciting. Sometimes events coincide with real-life events or Nintendo game releases.

Many investors are speculating over which company might eventually purchase Twitter. Despite user stagnation, the site is still a valuable social tool. There is speculation that Google or Facebook might want Twitter, but this also could be a useful purchase for another company who wants to break into the social media market. Both Google and Facebook have tried to purchase Twitter in the past, but failed. While this shows an interest in Twitter as a social platform, it could also show that they might not have interest in trying again.

There are a lot of reasons that Twitter has continued to succeed thus far, despite user and stock decline. More than any other social networking site, Twitter emphasizes live updates, and more importantly, conversation. Think of the hash tag, and how it has helped spread awareness of, and support for, social movements. In addition, like Facebook, Twitter has successfully used bots in their app. One of the most famous bots involves the ability to order a pizza by tweeting an emoji. If they follow Facebook’s plan, and incorporate more bots into their app, this could potentially encourage more users to interact with the app and use it complete tasks. Or, it might not. If Facebook has more than 1.5 billion active users, the usage of bots is more likely to be a successful move for them than Twitter.

Twitter’s cofounder, Jack Dorsey, considers the app to be a form of augmented reality in how it focuses on live, supplemented information for a TV program or event. Could this be taken a step further, and utilized as a way to contribute live textual or voice updates in future augmented and virtual reality technology and devices? Dorsey already considers Twitter to be a type of global chat room, and even a way to consume and discuss important news. Regardless, Twitter and Facebook share some overlapping interests, which could indicate that Facebook might once again make a move to buy Twitter in the future. As for what happens then, we’ll have to wait to find out.

Patook
Patook matches users with like-minded people who like and dislike the same things you do. The app is so effective because users on it are really looking for friendship – not something more. Patook has a no-flirting clause in its term of service, and if users break that clause, they are banned from the app permanently.

Meetup
Meetup helps you find group activities in your areas of interest – or IRL “meetups” made up of people who have similar interests that you do. Some popular meetups match people of the same age and gender living in the same city or group people who enjoy the same kinds of exercise.

Foursquare
While Foursquare used to be an app that just you follow local businesses and log where you’ve been, it also helps you make new friends in your area. To use it to make friends, you can find out when local meetups are happening in your neighborhood, and if they interest you, join in.

Nearify
Nearify focuses on connecting you with group events happening in your event. These include lists of concerts, farmers’ markets, parents’ clubs, groups for dog walkers – the list goes on. To use it, you can filter through events happening in your city and get directions. While Nearify doesn’t match you up with people looking to make friends like Meetup does, you can meet new people at popular events.

VINA
An app that helps women make friends with other women, VINA is a Tinder-esque platform that lets you swipe right or left on women who you’re interested in getting to know – as friends. When you create an account with the app, it asks you six questions about yourself, and then pairs you with like-minded women.

As you’re chatting and making plans with new friends, you don’t want your phone to start slowing down. Keep it running smoothly with PowerPRO. PSafe’s Internet Booster closes apps running in your phone’s background so you can browse without lag time and use your data plan more effectively.

Create a complex password. Use at least one capital letter, a number, and a symbol. This will make your password nearly impenetrable to hackers. This is because hackers oftentimes use algorithms that can pry into your password. These algorithms run basic English words by your password at an extremely fast rate, and if there is a match, it informs the hacker, making your account vulnerable. On the other hand, utilizing numbers, symbols, and capital letters confuses this algorithm, and it makes your password much stronger.

Make your password unique. Birthdays, pets, and names as passwords make a hacker’s job easy. A cleverly constructed password will always keep a hacker guessing.

Use separate passwords for all of your social media accounts. If you only use one universal password for all accounts, then all of your accounts will be compromised if one gets hacked. A long, unique password for each account is an excellent safety measure to take to prevent hacking.

Don’t give your password away. Ever. No exceptions. Especially over email. If you get an email from Instagram or another social media account asking for your password, it is likely a phisher posing as the networks to try to hack your password. Don’t fall for this trap — social media networks will never ask for your password via email.

Use PSafe Total’s Vault feature. This component of PSafe Total for Android lets you lock specific apps on your phone. This adds a second layer of protection to important apps, even if you already have a lock screen on your phone. Use Vault to put a second password on your Instagram. This way, if your phone gets lost or stolen, hackers will find that there are multiple barriers protecting your Instagram account.

Use PSafe Total’s Antivirus protection. This feature also has you covered. With PSafe Total’s antivirus protection, you can quickly scan all phone files and your SD card to fix any security breaches. Hackers trying to use malware to gain access to your phone (and, possibly, your Instagram) will be deterred immediately. This feature automatically keeps you protected from all online threats 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
