0:00 Hello everyone. Today I'll show you two important settings that you should double check before buying a smartphone. Because in fact very few people know that when you share photos from your gallery for example via social networks like Viber, WhatsApp, Skype, Telegram and so on. It doesn't matter. You can also send photos via Gmail or just as a message. So each photo is assigned location data. that is where the photo was taken, where it was sent from, what device, what time, and so on. In fact, there's a lot of information there. So ask yourself, why would you send all this personal information to someone else? And if that person also sends the photos somewhere else, then you're essentially distributing your personal data, so to speak, all over the world.
0:46 Of course, you need to disable this. I'll tell you and show you everything. Now, be sure to give the video a like, subscribe to the channel, and share it with your friends. So, look, if you have a phone, you probably take photos at least sometimes. If you work somewhere, you might take photos of reports, personal things for yourself, something for work, or maybe just some selfies and send them to friends. All these photos are stored in the gallery. It doesn't matter what kind of gallery you have. It could be a different one downloaded from the Google Play Store, or you could have the default one. This is the app where all your photos are stored, whether they're taken with your main camera, which is on the back, or with the selfie camera. You need to find the settings in the gallery. Right now, I have these three dots. Click on them, and here are
1:33 the settings. Click on the settings. Now, watch. Scroll down a bit and find secure access. Click on this line and look, two sliders and two buttons are disabled here. So, at first glance, everything seems fine. After all, these sliders are disabled and nothing is actually collected or sent. But if we read further, we'll see that it says here that we don't allow location information to be overlaid on photos. So to prevent this information from being overlaid, we need to activate this slider, that is turn it on. When enabled, we're disabling our location from being sent with our photo. And the bottom setting is the same. Look here. We send metadata and information about our device. Regarding our device, that is the device the photo was taken from.
2:21 Perhaps some characteristics, but metadata is a broad concept and it also includes your location. And here too, we've added other settings. Well, the other settings, well, you can basically add absolutely any data there. Of course, you need to activate this slider, this button, and then you can rest easy knowing that your information won't be spread around the world if you send something to someone somewhere, some reports, some personal photos, because someone else could also forward them to someone else somewhere. Here.
