The Rookie’s Guide to Hosting Your First Ever Thanksgiving Party

/

Thanksgiving is that time of the year where family and friends get together to celebrate everything that makes family and friendship worthwhile while also giving thanks for everything they have. It is a time to reflect over the past year and give thanks for all the amnesties one has. But Thanksgiving is also is most looked forward to because of the party and food. Yes, this time of the year is famous for all the food and parties and the family get-togethers that are held. This all may sound good and dandy but if you are the one actually hosting the parties you are going to face some stress. Especially if it is your first time organizing a party and you do not know what you are doing-things can get a little crazy and out of hand. But fortunately for you there some tips and tricks that might help your party be one of the most organized and well planned amongst your peers and family. All you have to do is follow them to the letter and make sure you are punctual about everything! Without further ado, here are the tips and tricks that’ll help your first party be one of the best. 1.     Start Early Most people will start to actually plan for their party when there is little time left and end up with a substandard event. What you will need to do to be ahead of the curve is to start planning and implementing at least a month before Thanksgiving.  How early you start is obviously dependent on how big your party is going to be but the point is that you need to start at a time you think is good. Starting early means that you should also start to schedule what you are going to do at what time. The cooking and food for example should be at the end of everything so you will need to gather the food supplies and ingredients at least a week before. You will need to make a comprehensive list of everything you need to buy a week before that. You get the idea As for the decoration, you can get that done any time before the party. A Thanksgiving party does not really need décor but if you rather prefer it would than you can even get the decoration done weeks before the party and have it stay that way until the actual event. 2.     Invitations and RSVP You will need to make a comprehensive list of people who will be coming to your party. It may go without saying but do not make the mistake of inviting both friends and family at the same event. You will find it hard to divide your time between them some of you guests may feel odd being in the presence of so many people they do not know. Once you have decided what group of people you know you are hosting the party for- you will then need to go ahead and send them invitations. Hand-made invitations are also great since they show how much you care but in this age of social media you can always send in e-invitations through Facebook and other social media outlets. You can also make a group on apps like WhatsApp for your party and send a single invitation for your party. Make a list of the people who have confirmed to come adjust your food and planning accordingly. 3.     Book Your Turkey It may be obvious to get a turkey for Thanksgiving but you will need to book it before you buy it. Everyone always looks top buy a turkey the day before Thanksgiving and you will do the same but you will have an advantage because you will have booked your turkey. On that last day a good sized turkey will be very difficult to come by so what you will need to do  is to look for a good and reputable retailer that you know sells quality product and book your turkey with them. Large retailers like Walmart and Target are obvious choices for a good turkey but what you can do is look for smaller retailers that sell fresh meat and book one there too. Since there is such a rush at the meat aisle the day before thanksgiving you might not even get one even if you booked it. So it would be a good idea to get one from smaller more unknown retailers too. 4.     Ask Your Guests to Pitch There is absolutely nothing wrong with asking your guests for help with the food. In fact many of them will actually want to help with the food as it gives them a chance to show off their cooking. You will be surprised by how many people will want to help and pitch in with the cooking. This will obviously let off some stress for you as you can focus on other things like entertaining your guests during the party and let off some steam yourself. Guests can bring in appetizers, drinks whatever! Just be sure to note what each guest is bringing and adjust your own menu accordingly! 5.     Have Fun A lot of people get so wrapped up in the planning and arranging of the party that they forget to enjoy themselves. Remember, you are the host of the part which means a lot of people will be looking at you and if it looks like you are stressing yourself too much and not having a good time, your guests will feel the same. Not everything will go perfectly and according to plan and there is nothing wrong with that. There are some things that you cannot control and of you go ahead and worry about those things than you are going to end up with a bad party! So relax and enjoy yourself. Enjoy Thanksgiving by giving thanks and keep a look out for all the great deals XNSPY has to offer this fall.

The DIY Mom’s Guide to Planning a Cool Halloween Party

/

Summer is finally out on its way with September coming to an end and with it comes the month of October and that means it brings with it fall. Fall brings with it and all the goodness that begins the holiday season: the perfect picnic weather, colorful leaves falling everywhere and a gentle breeze to bring it all together. But the most anticipated event that falls brings with it Halloween! The sinister and spooky annual event is a great opportunity to show off your creativity while also plan for the most fun and engaging parties with all of your friends. But you can’t just celebrate any old party; you have to think outside the box to actually stand out in the crowd among this cool holiday. Where most people fall flat when planning for a party is the actual catch or the interesting part about the party. Most default to a costume themed gathering when thinking of an interesting idea for a party but since everyone is already in a costume for Halloween, you just can’t do that. So here are a few unique and interesting ideas for Halloween parties that are sure to get you noticed! 1.      Shadow Theme Halloween is all about the dark and scary so why not use both of those ideas to your advantage and put your scary twist to your house. All you need to do to bring this idea to life is some black construction paper and a good eye for the spooky. Cut out scary images like say: a scraggly tree with a raven on it, a black cat, an owl flying overhead, some dark indistinguishable figures, the list only ends where your imagination does! Now what you need to do is to paste these spooky cut outs in places you think people will only see out of the corner of their eyes. For the main décor you can do the same: black cutouts but larger in size and more in your face. You could cut out a big tree with something spooky on it like a ghost on it and put it in your entrance so as soon guests enter your home they can recognize themselves with the theme you have put up. Now remember, black is your friend here and you don’t need to limit yourself to the construction paper cutouts. Try and go for a completely ‘shadowy’ feel inside your home.  A smart and effective way to accomplish this is to cover select pieces of your furniture with black sheets and black ornaments. You will also have to be picky with what you cover with the sheets and ornaments because it will not look good if you over-do it. Try to find furniture that is already somewhat in the dark and cover it with the darkness. To cover all bases try and get some thick dark string and use it to make some spider web and put in places where you would actually expect spiders to make webs. Like say a dirty old kitchen cabinet or a place in your living room where you might not clean enough. As for the eatables are concerned well you guessed it- it has got to be all black. But you do not need to cook too much since so much work will go into your décor. Just a couple of finger foods will do. Oh and some dark drinks! Raspberry, Black Currant and grape should be your go to choice for the drinks but if you want to come up with some things of your own just make sure they match the rest of the food and décor because nothing looks more horrid than an out of place color in your dark theme. 2.      A Gore Theme This is a theme a lot of people are afraid to do because it actually gets under their skin. A gore themed party is sure to make you stand out from among the crowd. You will need a lot of reds and pinks in your house to make your gore themed party come to life. One of the best things you can do at a gore themed party is to have one of your bathrooms be made to look like a crime scene. Get some fake blood that is easily washable (or make some of your own) and spread it around the washroom just before the party starts. You can go one step further and have a bloodied ‘body’ in the mess too. Make a few disembodies heads, arms and other various limbs and make the part they are de-attached from the body really messy and bloody. You can put these anywhere but the perfect place to put them would be outside your home just so everyone knows you are not messing around this Halloween. If you are REALLY looking to go the extra mile then there is one decoration that you will have to get so that your gore theme is fulfilled. You will however need to get your hands dirty a little bit. What you will need to do is get some really cheap meat from your local store but you will have to get the blood with that meat too. Wrap the bloodied mixture in plastic and decorate a corner table with it! A perfect way to accomplish this is to get cheap goat brains with some blood and put that around your house. Get plain white sheets and just no nuts with spraying fake blood all over them. You’ll have to get quite a few of them so that you have enough to spread around your house and really create that bloody environment you were looking for. You yourself can get creative with some make-up and dress yourself up like so! You will be the life of the party (or rather the death!) so you will need to look the part too. Remember to celebrate with XNSPY too and get great deals this fall!

How to Tell if You Are a Bad Parent in the 21st Century

/

The world has taken a dramatic turn change ever since the 21st century began. Technology is more accessible than ever than it has ever been and that means that everyone from adults to small children are using technology.  In this day and age children are ahead of the curve as compared to their parents when it comes to new technology and that is where parents fall short of their responsibilities as parents. They let their children get away with a lot of things they might do on computers and their phones simply because they do not understand it. But fortunately for those parents XNSPY has made it extremely easy for them to keep up to date with what their children are doing. All a parent needs to do is stay vigilant have the right resources in order to keep their children in line and in their supervision. Many parents may not realize it but they may be lacking as a parent if they do not make use of the tools that are available in the market and may end up with a problem child Here are ways to tell if you are a bad parent in the 21st century. 1. You don’t know what apps they are using These days’ kids have their noses buried in their phones instead of their books but that is not exactly a bad thing since they might be reading their book off of their phone. But you can never be too sure right? This is where XNSPY’s parental controls come in use. Kids are pretty crafty and could tell you they are reading their books on one app and could be on a completely different app. Here is where knowing what apps they have installed on their phone will come handy. But that is not where the usefulness of knowing what apps your kids have ends. Say you see an app that you do not recognize; you can always look up to see what that app is and then confront your kids about it. Knowing what your children are up to on their phones can also help you to build your relationship with them. So many parents are unaware of their children’s lives online and many children prefer to keep it that way. This creates quite a divide between a parent and child as the parent is completely unaware of their children’s lives online- a place where they spend all of their waking hours. 2. You don’t know who they are friends with As a parent it is always a good idea to know who your child is friends with as peers have a substantial effect on them. But with social media and the internet being as common as it is it becomes very hard to know who your children are keeping in contact with since there has been such an increase in online friendship over the past few years. It has become increasingly important to know who your children are friends with as they might be-friend complete strangers who they never meet in in real life and may eve end up harming them. You can use XNSPY to look over every messaging app they have look over the messages they have sent and the messages they have received too. But XNPSY is not limited to text messages alone, it allows you to view images, document and everything in between.  This is great for parents who are worried who their children are being influenced by online and can step in before anything bad happens.  Even if you are not worried that your child will get up to something harmful- it is still always better to know who your child is be-friending and what kind of relationship they are keeping with them. 3. You don’t know which app they are spending most time on The app your child uses says a lot about their personalities and speaks volumes about their interests and likes. If your child spends more time on messaging apps, they may be more inclined towards an extroverted attitude and may make a lot of friends in the future.  But there are also negative effects of spending too much time on one single app, especially social media apps. While they may seem the most harmless, social media apps are amongst the most harmful places there are. Extended use of Facebook has been linked to depression, so who knows how much time you spend on another app will affect you. Knowing what app your child spends the most time on is almost always a good idea since it can help you get to familiarize yourself with the in’s and outs of the app and make you know how to deal with problems that may arise. 4. You don’t know where they are going Your children will not always be truthful to you. They might tell you that they are going to one place and may end up in another. This is not always a bad thing; kids will be kids and will be rebellious at times. That is fine as long as they do not end up hurting themselves or others around them. Even if you do not intend to do anything with the information- it is always better to know where they are. If God forbid they should land themselves in some trouble, you will know where they are and how you can reach them.  You yourself might have told your own parents that you were off to the library to study when in reality you just went out to have some shakes; your kids will be the same. But the world of today is much more dangerous and unforgiving. Knowing where your kids are could be the difference between life and death these days. Be a smart parent and keep yourself up to date with everything your child is doing and help them keep safe from dangers they might not even know are there.

Write Down What You Feel: Reducing Stress and Anxiety of Child Monitoring

/

Writing down your feelings, trials and tribulations, the things that make you worried and anxious may reduce the very feelings and will allow you to perform better in your everyday tasks. A previous study performed in the 1980’s too came to a conclusion that journaling your feelings will benefit you greatly. What’s Wrong With Worrying? You are not alone if you’re constantly worried with overthinking but the problem with overthinking or worrying is that you will often play scenarios in your head that may have happened a long time ago or scenarios that may have never happened at all, unfortunately.  As simple as it may sound, these sort of uncontrollable acts could also lead to anxiety related disorders. A new study conducted by the journal Psychophysiology talks of a simple task that can help individuals ease their minds and to perform better in tasks. Researchers in Michigan State University have also found a link of neural evidence to support the benefits of writing down feelings that elicit anxiety, stress of worry. Writing Down as Expression Reducing worries can be a simple task for anyone looking for a quick out or solution. Researchers have shown evidence  that journaling is an effective means of reducing worries. To come to this conclusion, researchers gathered college students with chronic mental and anxiety disorders and engaged them in a computer based ‘flanker task’ which was to measure accuracy and reaction times. Before the task was started, half of the participants were tasked to write down what they did the day before while the other half were given eight minutes to write down their deepest thoughts and feelings regarding the task they were asked to perform. After the task, using electroencephalography (EEG), researchers came to a conclusion that both halves performed the task at the same speed and accuracy but the group that was asked to jot down their thoughts and worried were proven to perform the task with more accuracy. This means that they concluded tasks using much fewer brain resources than the ones who did not write their feelings down.  Essentially, the people who engaged in expressive writing did as good as those controlling the experiment. Car Analogy Researcher Jason Moser described the effect that of releasing worries by expressive writing and using brain resources by using a car analogy. He says “Here, worried college students who wrote about their worries were able to offload these worries and run more like a brand new Prius whereas the worried students who didn’t offload their worries ran more like a ’74 Impala – guzzling more brain gas to achieve the same outcomes on the task.” The research provides the first neural evidence of a popular study conducted by James Pennebaker in 1986 where he described the benefits of expressive writing. In his own research he followed the same procedures, engaging half of his test subjects in mundane writing such as about the weather, and the other to write down about the worst events of their life. After a six month period of time, he found that the people who wrote down with expression went to the doctor fewer times compared to the other peoples and this the field of psychoneuroimmunology was born. Do some writing and let it all out!

The Top Tech Related News This Week

/

The technology world is buzzing with news with some major releases from tech giants and acknowledgement and endorsement of artificial intelligence from one of the most important leaders in the world today. Here are the top stories of the week to bring you up to speed with everything the technology world has to offer: 1.     iPhone 8, 8+ and iPhone X The world recently saw the release of the new generation of Apple’s iPhones. The iPhone 8 and 8+ plus are new installations to the staple iPhone series. They are adorned with a total glass body, a 12MP back and 7MP front camera, A11 processor that is 75% faster than its predecessor and a ‘Super Retina Display’. The iPhone 8+ is slightly bigger and also features a dual 12MP camera with enhanced depth perception on the back.  What is most exciting is the inclusion of wireless charging in the new iPhones. While working with their own chargers, they are said to support Qi wireless chargers as well. But what stole the show was the phone released in order to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the release of the iPhone. The iPhone X (pronounced 10) was what all the rumors building up to the world-reveal were talking about. The iPhone X is drastically different from every iPhone that has ever been released as it features a completely bezel-less design- save for a small ‘nose’ that features the cameras and sensors required for the all new Face ID. The Face ID will effectively replace Touch ID on the iPhone X since it does away with the iconic home button. 2.     Putin Endorses Artificial Intelligence Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, recently said in a series of statements that the advancement of artificial intelligence will determine who rises to be the next world power. “Artificial intelligence is the future, not only for Russia but for all humankind,” he said. “Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere will become the ruler of the world.” Putin was in fact alluding to military strength. Artificial Intelligence will allow the military to track down and kill without the use of any man power and loss of human life. This of course has major repercussion in the world as a side with a virtually unlimited supply of arms and no soldiers to lose will be completely dominant over the other. Elon Musk- the CEO of Tesla Inc. and outspoken critic of the ‘killer robots’ arms race was quick to respond to Putin’s comments. Speaking of the development of autonomous killer robots through artificial intelligence he said that it will likely be the cause World War 3. A 116 strong coalition of leading robotics and artificial intelligence experts have signed an open letter urging the United Nation to address the race for autonomous weapons, more commonly known as ‘killer robots’ The coalition includes some of the biggest names in the industry. 3.     Equifax Hacked- Data of 143 Million Users at Risk The Consumer credit reporting agency announced Thursday that it was under a cyber-attack and that the data for 143 million users was under threat. Data such as addresses, social security numbers, full names. The hackers were also able to obtain a sufficient amount of credit card information from the company. It its estimated that the hackers were able to obtain the credit card information of somewhere from 182,000 – 209,000 people. What is more- users in the United Kingdom and Canada were also affected but it is still unclear how many users were affected in those countries. Equifax was quick to respond to the cyber-attack and hired a professional cyber-security expert team to analyze their breach. The team is looking into the scope of the attack and will provide further information into what kind of attack it was and who is possibly behind it. (https://thediscerningcat.com/) The CEO, Richard Smith quickly addressed the issue and said in a statement: “This is clearly a disappointing event for our company and one that strikes at the heart of who we are and what we do. We pride ourselves on being a leader in managing and protecting data, and we are conducting a thorough review of all of our security operations.” 4.     Google Pixel 2 Coming October 4th After all the talk slightly died down of the Apple iPhone 8,8+ and iPhone X, Google quietly announced that they will reveal to the world their new Google Pixel 2. That of course is a working title and the phone might change names after its release. The original Pixel and Pixel XL will have been released exactly one year ago on the 4th of October 2016. The announcement trailer asked a series of questions and they were obviously aimed for the other smartphones. What’s wrong with my phone’s battery? Why is my phone always out of storage? Why does my phone take so many blurry photos? Why doesn’t my phone understand me? Why can’t my phone update itself? Why is my smartphone so slow / hot / fragile / annoying / broken / cruel / impersonal / dumb? The Google Pixel 2 is rumored to have a 4GB Ram, Snapdragon 835 processor and IP68 water and dust protection. Google also might also do away with the current trends of glass back and bodies. The Google Pixel 2 will also most probably have Android Oreo- and as a result the Pixel 2 will have an always on display. The Google Pixel is the first phone that it in and out Google. This time around Google seem to be fixating on their personal assistant along with a few hardware related upgrades. The camera and optical image stabilization seem to be a major focus this time too since they specifically asked in their video “Why are my photos always blurry?” We can only wait and see what October 4th brings us. The Pixel 2 will most probably come with a XL version but the standard look will be bezel-less.   XNSPY will fortunately work with all

The Most Important iPhone Was Released last Month

/

The iPhone X is perhaps the most anticipated iPhone to have been ever launched, since it marks the 10th anniversary of iPhone releases and the one phone everyone dreamed of since the first one was released. The iPhone X is perhaps the most radical design Apple has ever given to the iPhone and It looks remarkable, but that’s that there is. What? You might be thinking. Well, the iPhone X doesn’t offer anything particularly innovative. Here’s what the new iPhone X offers and doesn’t: iPhone X Release Date and Price The iPhone X is the most expensive flagship phone ever made. Yes, it tops everything Apple, Samsung or any company has ever prices its flagship phone. It will retail at $999, £999 and AU $ 1,579 JUST for the basic model. It will be released on October 27th in major territories with the US, UK and Australia included in the first wave of shipments. Apple probably is well aware how pricey this is they probably know that it will most likely put off a lot of customers. Perhaps they are betting on die hard Apple fans to see thorough the price and to buy it despite it’s limited innovation? Perhaps Apple aims to make the iPhone X an exclusive phone? (joshflagg.com) One of the reasons could be that the production of the iPhone X with it’s larger screen costs more so they ended up charging more but one has to also consider past phones with bigger and better screens that cost not nearly as much. There are rumors that there might be a possible delay to the release of the iPhone X because of the complexities involved with it’s manufacture. The first wave of releases look to be very limited in stock as well, and getting your hands on an iPhone X might be a tough task in 2018. See Also: How to spy on iPhone without Jailbreak? iPhone X and Everything New The iPhone X is a new redesign to the familiar iPhone shape. It looks entirely different to anything that’s come before it, in a super retina display. A 5.8 inch OLED display, the first the iPhone has done anything with this technology. Apple comments the OLED display is the first good enough display to adorn the iPhone X. No bezels. Apple’s first bezel-less attempt goes beyond the 1080p screen, as it will definitely crank the 2436×1125 pixels doing the Quad HD+ pictures. See Also: Top iPhone Apps in 2018 No more home button! The physical hoe button and the actual space of the home button is no more, but a on screen slide acts as the home ‘button’. The removal of the home button also means that there will be no TouchID, a big sacrifice to give many comment. Face ID as your new security pass. You will now have to look at your phone to unlock it, which means that the phone will read your face to unlock it. It will also be used in junction with Apple Pay. The 7MP TrueDepth camera and it’s multiple sensors such as the dot projector on your face will even work in the dark because of the included infrared camera.

12 Days of XNSPY Xmas—Keeping Up with Kik Messenger Monitoring

/

Kik might fool the casual smartphone users as being like any instant messaging app available on the App Store or the Play Store. And they won’t really be at fault if they think of it as a normal messaging app; I mean it has over 200 million downloads on the Play Store. Kik is perhaps one of the most popular instant messaging apps on the market these days and holds its own against giants such as Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. It is available both on the Google Play Store and the Apple Store for anyone to download. But beware of Kik, even though it may seem pretty normal and even though it may seem like everyone used the app, Kik really isn’t like your usual messaging app. It is much more different than you might think. This is exactly why XNSPY wants to keep you on top of all the latest in instant messaging this Xmas by bringing you Kik monitoring. To understand Kik, you first have to realize that it does not require your phone number such as WhatsApp or even Snapchat would since it doesn’t really require your true identity to run a profile type of account. Unlike Facebook Messenger, Kik users have the ‘luxury’ of signing up with an anonymous username. Anyone can create an account under literally any alias and can message anyone they want, without their permission. Sure Kik can be used as a normal Instant Messaging service and on many occasions, it is. However the app had been hijacked by a certain of hive mind a few years after its conception and they set the tone for how the app is used, as a base for NSFW chats, groups and exchanges of explicit material. How To Combat the Perils of Kik To know what you’re going to combat or take on, you need to completely understand that Kik users are usually on the app for the sole reason of exchanging explicit content. If your child has Kik on their phone, you need to be concerned. You need to get XNSPY on their phone immediately. One you have XNSPY on your phone to check in on their phone, XNSPY’s Kik Spy feature will allow you to spy on their Kik use. The first benefit of using Kik Spy is that you will be able to all incoming and outgoing messages. You will be notified whenever they receive a message or send one. You’ll also have access to their contact list and you’ll be able to see who they talk to and why. The timestamp feature also allows you to see when a message was sent or received. You need to be aware of who your child is talking to. Kik by its nature, is house to a certain type of people who form groups for the sole purpose of exchanging, asking for or even blackmailing other users for explicit content.  These groups are perhaps the worst part of group. When the same type of people convene in a single place, they feel empowered and will often decide on targets and harass them, they’ll ask for nudes from these targets, often to the point of them deleting their public profiles. Websites such as 4chan particularly, use Kik as a communication platform because like 4chan, Kik too is anonymous. This allows them to carry on what they do on 4chan to a new whole new level where they can exchange pictures and keep track of who they’re talking to. (hotcanadianpharmacy.com) Often, you will find threads on 4chan with a screenshot of a code that leads to a group where they convene. And this happens by the hour. What Do You DO When Your Child Is Involved With These Types Of People? It is very troubling if you find out that your child has the same mindset that the people that use websites such as 4chan have. That time of mindset just leads to an ignorant mindset. It is very hard to convince people like this otherwise since they are too sold on the whole idea of what they’re preached. Well, first you need to actually find out if your child is one of those people. A good way will be through XNSPY. If they’re using the app as a platform to exchange explicit content, that is still normal. They are young and look for outs which is okay and approachable. You can still talk to them about these subjects since you’ll still have to talk about it one day or another. If your child has already gone off the edge into an alt-right mindset where they take everything as a meme or joke or ironic, even serious things you simply don’t joke about. Children are impressionable and will adopt this sort of mindset if they think it’s cool or a part of some inside joke. This is a troubling situation, one that you need to talk to them about. You simply can’t let them go on in this way. Before confronting them, just try and look into the things they do when they’re online and what they take part in. And eventually work up to confront them. Have sort of an intervention because you’re really be taking on an ideology that they have and they get defensive just like that. They’ll think they’re above you or think that they’re just above your way of thinking of ideology and they’ll some words around that you don’t even know. Bear whatever they say or do and make an effort from here on out to monitor their internet use through their phone. XNSPY as an All Around Solution XNSPY will help you to monitor any browsing or internet use that your target device goes through. That means that if they eventually leave Kik to use any other platform to communicate with their ‘friends’, you’ll know because you’ll be notified. WhatsApp, Snapchat or even Instagram, XNSPY has features such as WhatsApp Spy, Snapchat Spy, Instagram Spy and even more so

12 Days of XNSPY Xmas—Instagram Monitoring into 2018

/

Instagram is perhaps the most popular social media platform out there, rivaling the likes of Facebook and Snapchat. It is perhaps every teenager’s personal favorite because of how simple it is compared to Facebook or even Snapchat, it’s just to the point and pretty with a lot of potential. Your children are migrating away from Facebook and settling in Instagram. So this Xmas, tuck into the Instagram monitoring feature for all your parental worries. Instagram is a unique and creative way to share pictures, selfies and personal photography. Since Instagram launched in 2010, it became a secondary to Facebook as we saw more and more people leave Facebook to use Instagram. But as we’ve seen with Facebook over the years, it has a lot of vulnerabilities and issues that most parents aren’t aware of or weren’t aware of. The same goes for Instagram. According to a Pew report, 53% of young adults between the ages of 18-29 have an active Instagram account and is the top most photo sharing app amongst minors between the ages 12-17. But Beyond the pretty filters and prettier pictures, there are some serious dangers on Instagram. 1. Privacy Settings The default settings for Instagram sharing pictures are public. This means that anyone can follow anyone on Instagram and any image can be viewed by anyone. This can be extremely dangerous if the public images are at a school or any landmark any potential predator can use to locate a minor. Places such as school, their house or even where they might go to hang out with their friends. Adolescents really don’t worry or really know of the real dangers that are present and it’s their parents that do the worrying. Where are they, when will they be home, how are they going to get home? If you pay enough attention to your child and how they use Instagram, it would be pretty to have their privacy settings to private so you can somewhat control who sees their pictures. 2. Location Tagging Instagram allows users to tag an image they take and post with the geographic location of the place where they took the picture. This reason is obviously dangerous feature to the app for young adults or any minor. If they frequent any place usually, places like their home, or their hangout place, they can easily be tracked. Parents really shouldn’t allow their children to use this feature since, really, Is there really a need to broadcast where they are exactly to the entire world? 3. Inappropriate Content There really isn’t a way to filter the massive amount of porn or other inappropriate content that just happens to show up on your feed when you’re going through the discover tab.  What shows up on your discover tab really depends on the people you follow and what you usually look up when you’re browsing Instagram.  Usually the pictures or posts that show up on your discover tag are linked to your browsing history too and even Facebook. So whatever your interests on Facebook are whatever you look up on Instagram, the same type of posts will show up on your feed. There really isn’t a way to avoid what shows up on the discover tab unless you make sure that your child follows the right people and not anyone they don’t know and that they don’t look up anything too risqué. 4. Inappropriate Treatment Instagram is the home to and a birthplace of the Instagram ‘model’. An Instagram model is a person who posts pictures of themselves modelling who get noticed by some companies who send over their products to these people who wear and model in these products. Nothing inherently wrong with that. People however will do a lot to get noticed on Instagram and will post inappropriate pictures of themselves to their thousands or millions of followers. Also if they are adults, there’s nothing completely wrong with them doing this. But the implication of this effects their followers, a lot of whom are impressionable minors. These people set a dangerous precedent. They set beauty standards for their followers and anyone who doesn’t look that is thought less of. Anyone who themselves doesn’t look like that seems to think they’re not beautiful or attractive or worthy of validation. To try and copy what your idol is wearing and to replicate their style is nothing new and we’ve been seeing that throughout the ages. But when it becomes a problem is when 11, 12 or 13 year old are posting suggestive pictures. Anyone under 13 isn’t even allowed to have Instagram account. By its nature Instagram is inherently a place that supports physical beauty over anything else. There are literally several pages dedicated to galleries of girls dedicated to rating them by how ‘hot’ they are, often without the person being features actually knowing that their pictures are being featured. Reports of young boys as old as 12 or 13 swapping pictures of girls who they find attractive amongst each other via their smartphones. Objectification in its truest form. XNSPY as A Tool XNSPY is a powerful tool that will help you get involved with your children especially when it comes to their online life and what they do there. XNSPY is a cellphone tracking application that tracks a target device’s use once XNSPY is installed on their phone. With XNSPY’s Instagram Spy feature, you’ll be able to check in on their Instagram use. This means that you’ll be able to track who they follow, who their followers are. You’ll also be able to track their direct messages, which is what anyone would use to come in direct contact with someone on Instagram and usually these messages are explicit. You might have heard of the term ‘sliding into the DM’s’. This phrase has obviously explicit connotations and it connected with exactly what you think it means XNSPY will also track the target’s device in real time, so you’ll be able to see where your child

12 Days of XNSPY Xmas—Have You Downloaded Tinder Spy Yet?

/

Okay, hear me out—the holiday season in particular is a very popular time for Tinder as many college students and people have free time to meet, greet and further. Just last year, the app experienced a surge in its use right during the holidays. Therefore, this Xmas, we’ve got your back with Tinder spy as well. Tinder is a dating app where users swipe through a short bio and pictures of potential dating opportunities. If two people swipe right, they can usually end up meeting for a date. But there really isn’t beating around the bush here, there is probably only one reason people use Tinder for and all the users know what they’re getting into, heck users get upset if you’re just looking for a ‘hands off relationship’ But who cares if it’s just consulting adults? They can, within their own right, do what they want really and shouldn’t be shamed into thinking that it’s wrong or anything. The problem though, is when anyone younger than 18 uses the app or if someone if your supervision. Minors could be getting involved with Tinder not really knowing what people use it for, of worst yet, actually knowing what people use the app for and still going in to use it. There are several reasons how this is just set up to be the worst experience and outcome. Up until June of 2016, Tinder actually allowed people under the age of 18 to sign up and use the app. Users can still lie and get into the app and get themselves into something they might not even realize. Some users might only just sign up as a joke to see what all the noise is about and might end up getting involved with somebody and one thing could lead to another without you, as a parent, even realizing. Worst is, any predator using the app would use that opportunity as a justification his actions and would probably even get away with it without it even being noticed. So how do you keep a check on your child to see if they’re getting involved in something they probably shouldn’t be involved in? XNSPY as Your Tinder Spy XNSPY has the feature you’ll need to be on top of your child or anyone’s Tinder activities, without them even finding out. XNSPY, once installed on the target’s phone, you can access their Tinder messages and see who they’ve been talking to. You can access the entire chat log and the whole list who they were talking to. From the Tinder Spy you can first see if they even have the app, if they don’t, it won’t show up. But if they do, you’ll be able to access their account and see what they’ve been up to and who they’ve been talking to. You can see if they’re planning to meet any and can intervene if you think anything off. You can see what their profile looks like and what they really want with the app.  If your child or anyone under 18 who shouldn’t be on the app has the app, you can eventually confront them about it and talk of the dangers they’re putting themselves in.
