With some exceptions, a world-famous tech show called the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is held in America every year, in which almost all the small tech companies around the world come out with their new releases. Many of these products may seem like fluff at first glance, but many of them quickly turn out to be real.

- Can't login to Instagram?

Instagram has now made a good start to help us further in this situation

People who are very active on various social media sites have a constant fear of one thing - what if they lose access to their account?

If we don't take enough care to keep our account secure - or even if we do - our account may be hacked or we may not be able to log into our account for some other reason.

Like if you are very active on Instagram and have shared many types of photos, stories, reels etc. or exchanged direct messages with other users and one day you unexpectedly get blocked for yourself?

That situation is really scary. Most of the time our account is not hacked but if something goes wrong with the email or phone number where we get our login code or where we can get the password reset link even when we have two-step verification turned on, we still You may not be able to login to your Instagram account.

Until now, if we lost access to our account, it was very difficult to get it back. Of course Instagram itself has started helping us in this regard.

Instagram has launched a special site to help in such situations - https://www.instagram.com/hacked/.

This URL itself is scary but apart from account hacking this site can help us in many different situations.

However as explained here first, this site can help us only if we can prove that the account is ours. If you are facing any of the following conditions then this site can help.

Your account has been hacked

You forgot your password,

The login code goes to an email address or mobile number that is now out of your reach,

Someone else has created a new account with your name, photograph or other details

Your account has been disabled for any other reason

There is no guarantee that we will be able to access our account again with the help of this site but some help from the company has started now. Earlier we had to take help from Instagram's support which mostly didn't really help at all.

A new way to regain account access

Along with this new site, we also know how friends on Instagram can help if we lose access to our Instagram account.

This feature has been launched for everyone on Instagram since last month, i.e. December 2022.

If we cannot login to our Instagram account, the system can prove our identity with the help of two friends on Instagram. For that, the previously remembered password remains yours. After that, we can select any two insta friends. These friends have to verify within 24 hours that the account belongs to us.

However, hackers have started taking advantage of this feature as well. In fact, this feature allows the system to contact those friends if a person loses access to their account, then tells the system two friends. But hackers in their own way try to trick the system by sending the same message to different people.

- Leaving your smartphone open in someone's hand?

When we are on a tour with our family, we get tired of taking family selfies, so we think of giving the phone to someone else and requesting them to take our proper family photograph.

Sometimes we are so excited to take a photo that we don't think about the danger of leaving our phone in the hands of a complete stranger. Thus, if that person is right in front of our eyes and the matter is only for a minute or two, there is no special danger. But if the phone is unlocked, that person can make mistakes in the name of proper composition or focus or take more than one photo while taking a photo of our group and in the meantime can make holes in our phone.

Even by mistake and luck, if we hand an unlocked phone to the wrong person in the hands of a wrong and tech-savvy person, they can do something dangerous to our phone within twenty-four minutes. This is rare, but not impossible.

To avoid this from happening, if you have kept the camera shortcut on the phone's lock screen, the phone can be safely handed to a stranger by simply opening the camera without unlocking the entire phone. After this that person can only take a photograph with our phone. It cannot see or do anything else on the phone.

Apart from that, there are some ways that we can use our smartphone to other people only for calls or other basic functions, but not to see everything, we will talk about it again sometime.

- Satellite connectivity in Android as in iPhone

Some time ago we in 'Technoworld' talked about how in an emergency, even when there is no mobile network, the iPhone can send messages for help with satellite connectivity. We have also talked about how this feature is saving people's lives. Now there is news that a similar feature is coming to Android phones too! Qualcomm has announced that it will enable two-way satellite communication in high-end Android smartphones. Earlier, it was also confirmed by the Android company that most likely the 14th version of the Android operating system will have satellite connectivity (currently the 13th version has arrived). Qualcomm company has taken the help of Iridium satellites for this. These satellites can cover every corner of the world. Some smartwatch companies are also trying to offer this kind of satellite connectivity. In the near future, apart from smartphones, laptops, connected cars and other Internet of Things devices will start getting satellite connectivity, so don't be surprised!

- Banning ChatGPT in New York Public Schools

Just recently we talked about the ChatGPT chatbot that competes with Google Search in 'TechnoWorld'. It was also said that this chatbot will make students' homework 'easy'! Many people feel that this chatbot will result in students not having to do any exercises for homework. New York City's public schools feel the same way, and as a result have banned access to ChatGPT from all computer devices and internet networks in all of these schools. Of course, students can access it themselves at home! Although, as we talked about, the results of this chatbot are still not very reliable, but in the future it is also possible that this chatbot will become smarter and do the homework that each student needs, in his own style. Amathi calls technology a double-edged sword?!

- Hackers attack government two-factor authentication shields

The two-step verification method to keep our online accounts safe is no stranger to us. The Indian government has also implemented a two-step verification method called 'Kavach' in its own email system since last year. But now there is news that hackers are also targeting this system. According to the reports, from the type of attack being done on Kavach system, it seems that this work may be of Pakistani hackers.

The attack begins with a phishing attempt, whereby a link is sent to various government officials in seemingly normal emails. If an official inadvertently clicks on this link, its code is executed and the Remote Access Trojan enters the official's computer. These malicious links that come with emails are often in the form of harmless-looking images. So officials do not feel any risk in clicking on that attachment.

- Quickly search for the desired person right on the phone's keypad

When you want to call a person from a smartphone, most of the time we open the call app of the phone and try to search it by the name of that person. If we have called that person recently, their name will appear in the recent call history and we can easily add a new call.

If their name is not there in the recent call history, then one has to go to find that name in the contact list. But are the new-age phones just a little smarter?

It also has an easy way to call the desired person. Open the phone keypad and start typing the spelling of the name of the person we want to call. Since the keypad is numeric, it displays the numbers one to nine and zero, but also includes alphabetic letters in a smaller font. We don't remember anyone's numbers anymore but we remember names. Hence, as per the spelling of that person's name, their number will be found as soon as they start typing in the keypad. It's a small thing, but once you get used to it, this method will be much easier than searching for a name in a contact list!
