🚨INSTAGRAM CAN STILL TRACK YOU EVEN WITH LOCATION OFF Apple’s privacy rules made it harder for apps like Instagram to track users, but Meta is finding new ways.

It’s wild how much tracking happens behind the scenes, even with location off… Privacy’s just an illusion now

And what's the point of removing the location?

Ramy1 year ago

this is nothing new nor is it exclusive to meta/facebook. unless you use a vpn, apps, like websites, know your ip address which indicates the general location of where you are. if using a vpn, the vpn company will have this information instead of the app/website.

Not just insta .. Google is the biggest culprit selling your location from IP tracking.. no privacy anywhere unfortunately

Location off? Cute. Instagram’s like, “We’ll just use your IP, bestie.” 🕵️‍♂️📍 You thought you were browsing reels—turns out, you’re starring in one.

META automatically opted all users into its new deepfake AI system “Meta is facing backlash over a new AI feature just rolled out on Instagram” The app is called Muse Image. It allows users to make realistic deepfakes using other people's photos. Any adult with a public Instagram account was automatically included. There are ways to turn it off and opt out, if you don’t do this everything you post of yourself can be used for deepfakes - You go to your settings and search sharing and reuse - Then you scroll down to allow people to ‘create with and reuse your content’ and toggle both of those off

Very informative video on how easy it is for someone to track you online. Show this to your children. Also, turn off location services before taking a photo/video because someone can easily see your GPS data and locate your exact location from a simple image

Sam Altman on why you shouldn’t track absolute user growth in the early days of a startup “Nothing but a great product will save you; you can get everything else right and it still won’t work.” He points out that almost all startup founders get the following wrong: “It is more important to have a small number of users that love you than a lot of users that like you… Eventually what you want of course is a lot of users that really love your product, but that’s almost impossible to do.” In practice, you have two choices: Deep and Narrow: “You have a small number of users that really love you and then find out how to find more and more of those users and broaden the appeal of the product.” Shallow and Wide: “You can have a lot of people that sort of use the product once or twice and kind of like it and try to figure out how to get them more engaged over time.” “With high confidence, I can say that you want to start with a small number of users that really love you. Almost all great companies have products that start this way.” He argues that a good indicator of users loving your product is retention and frequency of use: “In fact, I think this is so important that you actually shouldn’t track absolute growth in number of users in the early days of a startup. You should just track how often they’re using it… That’s a good early indicator of users that love you—better still is them spontaneously telling their friends to buy your product.” Follow Startup Archive for more tactical startup advice!

Location sharing on Instinct Starting today, you can share your location with Instinct on iMessage. Instinct can recognize when you arrive somewhere, and answer questions about where you’ve been. Here are some examples of how our early alpha group uses it: - Ordering food to your current location - Finding a lunch spot a few minutes away based on what you like - Guiding you through a trip itinerary in a new city - Figuring out how to get home, including which train to catch and where to board Instinct can also act when you enter or leave an area. You can ask it to remind you to pick up your package when you get home, or have your boarding pass ready when you arrive at the airport. These location triggers let Instinct follow up when the task becomes relevant. Your location history also gives Instinct context to answer questions like “Where did I park?”, “How long did my bike ride take?”, or “What was that nice coffee shop around here that I went to last month?” If you’re an existing user, you can try it today by asking Instinct to request your location. If not, we’re giving access to 1000 new users who want to try it out: . If you missed it, you can join our waitlist here:

Your Instagram photos may now be training someone else’s AI. Meta has enabled its new Muse AI image generator for users by default. It allows people to generate AI images of you by using your public Instagram handle, with no notification when your photos are used and no way to remove images created before you opt out. To opt out: Profile → Menu → Sharing and reuse → Turn off the reuse options under “Allow people to reuse your content on Instagram and with AI features at Meta.”

Sorry to break it to you, but if you think AI can automate all your marketing, you’re probably going to be disappointed. Yes, AI can write your posts. It can create images. It can analyze data. It can even help you build campaigns faster. But faster does not always mean better. AI still needs someone to tell it what matters. It needs someone to understand the customer, choose the right message, and decide what is actually worth creating. Because your goal is not to produce more content. Your goal is to become more visible. You need to know where people are discovering your brand. Are you showing up on Google? Are you being mentioned by ChatGPT and other AI platforms? Are your competitors showing up more often than you? That is where AI becomes useful. Not when it replaces your marketing, but when it helps you see what you could not see before. With you can track your share of visibility across search and AI platforms. You can see where your brand appears, where your competitors are winning, and which topics could help you get mentioned more often. So do not use AI to put your marketing on autopilot. Use it to make better decisions, move faster, and become harder to ignore.

Alright, here’s my breakdown on this… You could be this girl’s EXACT type (and vice versa), but since she hasn’t gone through her 3,100 likes, you legit have a 1 in 3,100 shot of even being seen, so you’re probably never matching with her and it’s the same for pretty girls. This is why in-person will always outweigh the apps. Most dudes don’t take great pics, and barely put effort into their profiles. You’re way better off approaching in real life where it matters less and can show off your personality/be funny. Dating apps are fun, but shouldn’t be the end all… if you go through your matches right now, you’ll see a type. Next time you see that same type in person, go up to her and shoot your shot.

"It is in some ways offensive to me that iOS is a nearly 20-year-old computer on which you cannot make software for the computer itself." — John Gruber "At this point, an iPad Pro costs like $2,000. And you can't use it to make apps. It's kind of bizarre." "Even if it was just like, 10 people — a consumer-level of TestFlight distribution — where you can make apps for your friends and family and distribute it on up to 10 devices. And it doesn't go through Apple, doesn't need approval, you just make it and distribute it." "Yes, it's disruptive to Apple's business. But the disruption is inevitable anyway. So why not go with what's cool, and do the coolest thing possible, that makes new possibilities available to your users and developers on your platform?"

This deserves more attention. Someone put together an entire guide to online anonymity and made it free for anyone to read. Its on Anonymous Planet, and it goes way beyond telling you to install a VPN. It explains how your browser, photos, files, and everyday habits can leave clues about who you are. Then it walks you through ways to protect yourself: > Remove hidden personal data from files. > Make your browser harder to track. > Understand Tor, Tails, and Whonix. > Share sensitive documents more safely. > Reduce your personal information in search results. Open the guide and start with the section on your digital footprint. You can also download a PDF to read offline. No ads. No affiliate links. It won’t make you magically untraceable. It will show you how much more privacy involves than opening an incognito tab. You shouldn’t need a technical background to understand what you’re giving away.

After thousands of matches across Hinge and Raya, I'll still die on this hill. You need great photos and you need a great Instagram. A lot of guys are opting out of social media and wondering why dating feels harder, but instagram isn't optional anymore. It's your second dating profile. Sometimes the more important one. Raya won't even let you in without one that looks good. Because your instagram shows your taste, your lifestyle, whether you're someone people actually want to be around. Dating apps aren't just about being attractive anymore. They're about signaling.

Gutfeld: So instead of saving for a downpayment on a house because that is square, you go to pilates, therapy, fancy vacations. You still spend this money, but it's not going into the savings, and then like you see the guy from their high school who didn't go to college showing off his boat on Instagram, and suddenly that's just not fair.

My jaw dropped listening to this “My husband worked for a very large mobile gaming company, and these are the craziest things he ever told me” He says they estimate the value of each users home by their home WiFi signal. “Let's talk about data tracking — They would estimate the value of your home, and the way they did that was by looking at your WiFi signal, and depending on how strong the signal was, they would know how far you've walked from where the router is in your house, and they could estimate the square footage of your house from that, compare that to your general location data, and guess how much your house is worth and then they would sell you coin packs based on how much money they thought you had” “They tracked the days of the month that you got your direct deposit, your paycheck, and they would send push notifications locations and targeted ads on those days to get you to buy coins” I verified all this is not only possibly, but it’s 100% happening - Mobile apps with permission can access WiFi signal strength - As you move around with your phone, the app logs how signal strength changes weaker farther from router. This can roughly estimate room sizes, floor plans and overall home footprint especially combined with GPS and location data for the neighborhood This is not what you sign up for when you download an app

Even with Privacy Mode turned off, the Xiaomi 18 Pro still has noticeably narrower viewing angles than the Galaxy S26 Ultra. You can see it clearly in the video. That’s a bit unfortunate. Xiaomi has made the difference between Privacy Mode on and off relatively small. Even with it turned off, the display still retains some privacy-screen characteristics, so brightness and visibility drop noticeably when viewed from an angle. In other words, the normal mode still feels like it has a mild privacy filter applied. The upside is that the transition between the two modes is less dramatic. The trade-off is that even when you don’t need privacy protection at all, you still lose some viewing angle.
