Crash detection

According to Apple, in the event of a car accident, with the help of this feature, the iPhone or Apple Watch automatically calls the emergency number. Before making a call like that, the alarm sounds and the countdown of the call starts.
Emergency number
Another feature in the iPhone for security is the emergency number. Users can put different numbers in it. For this, you have to go to 'Emergency SOS' through the settings. There, users can put their own phone number.
Satellite support in emergency SOS
Apple has also provided satellite support for Emergency SOS. That is, even if your phone does not have a Wi-Fi or cellular connection, you can send an emergency message or call. This feature is only available on iPhone 14 and 15. This feature can be very useful especially when going to remote places.
How to do audio chat with chatgpt even while running other apps on mobile
ChatGPT, which can be used in chat style, has various attractive features. Recently, OpenAI has introduced a feature called 'Background Conversations' targeting mobile users. Through this feature, you can have a voice conversation with ChatGPT even while running other apps.

Do you have a habit of randomly 'liking' on Facebook? Be careful!
Like is one of the attractive features of Facebook. To show that you like a post, press the Like button on Facebook. A like is also a response. Now you can give seven different reactions like love, care, haha, wow, sad, angry on Facebook.
Along with the post, there is also a place to like the page. Especially in the context of the page, the same is true. If you like or follow any page, the content posted on that page will appear in your feed.
Some people are running a business with these likes. Like: Maybe you've seen Facebook posts like 'I've got so many likes, I'll do it, I'll do it'. But this kind of fund is very common.
Apart from these, many funds are also running on Facebook. If you like that type of post then the same type of post will keep coming. You may want to like them. This is called 'like farming' method. Which is used by scammers to earn a lot of money.
In addition, the liked post/page can also be seen on your friend's account.
'Like Farming'
When understood in a general sense, it is a method of collecting likes, like farming. Going by the meaning of the name, it is a cultivation of likes. So how do scams cultivate likes? First, the scammer creates a page. In which he constantly shares photos and inspirational things.
If you keep interacting with that page by commenting or viewing it frequently, those posts will keep coming to your feed. And as soon as the likes increase, the scammer starts running advertisements through that page.
Then the scammer starts posting content saying that he is selling a product or service. Which can be cheated when the real customer tries to buy it. Or it can be advertised by placing a link containing a malware virus. By clicking on which any user can be badly cheated.
black market
Scam links are not only spread by increasing likes, but pages with more likes are also put up for sale in the black market. It is considered against Facebook's policy to sell and distribute pages. Thousands of pages are illegally sold on the black market. The more likes a page gets, the more expensive it is.
In addition, various fake photos and videos are also kept on such pages. Which are never real. You have liked an unknown page. In time, it cannot be said that the owner of that page will not use one of your photos for illegal purposes.
You may have noticed that some of the pages you liked are no longer active. Many of them have changed names. Now, when the admin changes the name of any page, everyone who has liked or followed it can get information about it.
What to do to stay safe?
The main thing is that you should first improve the habit of random liking. This habit avoids many possible risks. You don't like any page that comes in the feed for no reason. Like any page means that you will get updates about future posts. If you have already liked and followed such pages, then you should dislike and unfollow them.
