How to Fix WhatsApp Error ‘You Must Have an Opus Codec Installed’ on PC?

Swayam Prakash — Thu, 12 Dec 2024 10:44:42 +0000

WhatsApp's desktop app has a pesky bug that repeatedly haunts its users. When they try to play or speed up a voice note on WhatsApp, a message says "You Must Have an Opus Codec Installed". This error is specific to the WhatsApp desktop client for Windows 11. The error indicates that a specific audio codec is missing from your system. Without it, you cannot play the WhatsApp voice notes on the PC. This guide explains where you can find this codec and what other workarounds can help you access your voice notes without encountering any errors.

Top Ways to Fix 'You Must Have an Opus Codec Installed' WhatsApp Voicenote Error

To find out more about this issue with WhatsApp, I dug deep through the web. Some users have reported that even after installing the codec, the WhatsApp desktop client continues to return the "You Must Have an Opus Codec Installed" error. Instead of only relying on the codec, consider other troubleshooting tips that allow you to listen to WhatsApp voice notes or fast-forward them.

1. Install the Opus Codec on Windows 11

You can find Opus codec as a part of Web Media Extensions that is available on the Microsoft Store.

Launch the Microsoft Store on your PC.
Type "Web Media Extensions" in the search bar.
Click the Get button to install it on your device.

Some users have stated that even after getting the Web Media Extensions, the WhatsApp desktop client continues to hinder them from opening the voice notes they receive in the chats. If that's the case with you, get the codecs from other sources on the web which I have described in the next troubleshooting method.

2. Download Web Media Extensions [from non-Microsoft Source]

If trying to install Opus codec from the Microsoft Store did not fix the issue, get the required Codec from a non-official repository.

On your PC browser, go to the latest Opus Codec on the Free Codecs site.
Click Download to grab the codec on your computer.
After installing the codec, launch WhatsApp and check if you can play the voice notes.

3. Turn off User Account Control

In a Reddit forum, users mentioned that turning off the User Account Control on Windows 11 and re-enabling it fixed the Opus codec error on WhatsApp. Since the troubleshooting tip worked for a few, you may try it as well.

Press the Windows key to bring up the search panel.
Type UAC in the serach box.
On the left side, click on Change User Account Control Settings.
Drag the slider to Notify me only when apps try to make changes to my computer.
Click OK and it will save the changes.

Now, launch the WhatsApp client and check the voice notes exchanged with you in the chats.

4. Update the WhatsApp Desktop Client

To fix any codec-related bugs with the WhatsApp desktop application, update it from the Microsoft Store.

Launch Microsoft Store using Windows + S.
Click Library on the left-hand side.
Check if WhatsApp has a version update pending.
Press the download button to install the new app update.
Relaunch WhatsApp after the update is complete.

5. Kill WhatsApp for PC from the Task Manager

Force close the WhatsApp desktop client on your PC and relaunch it. If you already have the necessary codec installed on Windows 11 but there is some bug stopping you from listening to or fast-forwarding the WhatsApp voice notes, killing the app temporarily should fix the issue.

Press Ctrl +Shift +Esc to access the Task Manager.
In the Processes tab, go to WhatsApp for PC.
Right-click on the app name and select End Task from the menu.
Press Windows + S to launch the search panel.
Type WhatsApp in the search and click Open when the app shows in the search result.
Access your voice notes in the chat and check if you can listen to them.

6. Use WhatsApp Web

One great thing about WhatsApp is its presence on different platforms. If listening to voice notes on WhatsApp's desktop client is becoming a nuisance and no amount of troubleshooting is yielding any results, switch to WhatsApp Web.

Launch the browser on your PC.
In the address bar, type web.whatsapp.com

You must first link your WhatsApp phone app to the PC browser to view the chats or send messages.

Open WhatsApp on your phone.
Press the menu button > select Linked Devices.
Tap on Link a Device.
On the PC browser, the WhatsApp Web should display a QR code if it is your first time using the Meta messaging app on a browser.
Use the WhatsApp app's QR scanner to scan the QR code on the PC screen.

Once successfully paired, WhatsApp chats will load on your browser. Go through the chats and check if you can play the voice notes.

7. Uninstall and Reinstall WhatsApp Client for Windows

Temporarily uninstall the WhatsApp desktop client and reinstall its latest version from the Microsoft Store. For some users, this troubleshooting method fixed the Opus codec error message on WhatsApp.

Launch the Windows Settings by pressing Windows + I hotkeys.
Click on Apps > Installed Apps.
Go to WhatsApp and click the menu button next to it.
Select Uninstall From the context menu, and confirm the action.
Launch Microsoft Store.
Search for WhatsApp and install the app from WhatsApp Inc.

Launch the WhatsApp desktop app, link your phone, and check if you can play the voice notes in the chats.

8. Report of the Issue to WhatsApp

You must report the Codec issue to WhatsApp. This error appears regularly for Windows users and Meta should do the needful to fix the problem.

Launch WhatsApp desktop client.
Click the cogwheel icon for Settings On the left sidebar.
Select Help from the menu.
Press Contact Us.
Describe the error in detail in the space provided and click Send to forward your report.

Alternatively, you may also click on Get Support via Email to send a detailed report through email exchange. On various forums, users had bad reviews for WhatsApp support. Still, a report of the error from multiple users should push WhatsApp to manage the Opus codec issue for playing voice notes.

Bottom Line

WhatsApp is one of the most used instant messaging apps on smartphones and PCs. If you use it every day to exchange voice notes with your contacts, facing the Opus code error will make communication difficult for you. Follow these troubleshooting tips to get the necessary audio codec or use other means to access WhatsApp voice notes on your Windows PC.

How to Use Reverse Image Search Feature in WhatsApp

Swayam Prakash — Thu, 12 Dec 2024 10:25:32 +0000

WhatsApp now offers a new feature to reverse search an image sent to you in the chats. Suppose you want to learn more about the origin of a photo you received in a WhatsApp message. Using the same image as your search query, you can search the web for its specific details. With rampant misinformation plaguing the internet, reverse-searching an image can help confirm whether it carries genuine information or is a tool for fabricated hoaxes being spread via social media.

WhatsApp Search Image Feature

The reverse search feature on WhatsApp was introduced in the beta version 2.24.23.13 for Android users and v24.22.10.79 for iOS users. Technically, the feature is called "Search on Web." It is available in the context menu for media in the chat. Not everyone may not see the feature on their WhatsApp account. Beta features are usually rolled out for dry runs and thorough testing before being widely rolled out to everyone on all supported platforms. I suggest upgrading WhatsApp on your devices to a newer version to check if the Search on Web feature has been rolled out.

How to Reverse Search an Image on WhatsApp Android

If you use an Android device, follow these steps to use a web search to know the details of a photo sent to you in the chats.

Launch WhatsApp and open the chat in which you received an image.
Tap on the image to have an expanded view.
Press the 3-dot menu button at the top and select Search on Web from the menu.

You will be redirected to your phone's primary search engine, which will display search results related to the image.

Reverse Search a Photo on WhatsApp for iOS

For iPhone users, reverse-searching an image received on WhatsApp differs slightly from Android. Here are the steps for you.

Open WhatsApp on your iPhone.
Access the chat in which you received the image.
Tap on the image to get a full view.
Press the Share icon at the bottom and tap Search on Web from the menu.

How to Use the Reverse Search feature on WhatsApp Desktop Client?

Interesting as it may seem, WhatsApp may offer the image search feature exclusively on mobile operating systems. The desktop client for WhatsApp has no dedicated option termed "Search on Web" available so far on its latest version. If you are using the WhatsApp desktop client on a Windows PC, you can search for the details of the image using Bing Search, which is native to Windows OS. Before going through the steps mentioned below, visit the Microsoft Store Library and ensure that your PC is running the latest build of WhatsApp.

Launch the WhatsApp desktop client on your Windows PC.
Access the chat in which you received the image from your WhatsApp contact.
Click the image to view it.
Press the menu button at the top-right corner
From the menu, select Open in Another App.
Once the photo opens in Windows Photo Viewer, click the lens icon that indicates Visual Search with Bing.

That image will now open in Bing.com on your PC's default browser. Web search results related to it will also appear. You can search further about the photo by putting keywords related to it in the search bar.

NOTE: On your Windows PC, you must set Windows Photo Viewer as the default app to open the downloaded pictures. Only that app has the option to perform a web search using Bing.

Perform a Reverse Search on an Image on WhatsApp Web

As of now, WhatsApp Web does not offer an option to conduct a reverse search on the image received in the chat. Probably, after the WhatsApp mobile version starts receiving a wider rollout of the "Search on Web" feature, we may see the feature arrive on the web platform as well.

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQs)

Why Don't I See the Search the Web Feature on WhatsApp Android/iOS?

The feature was partly released via beta channels. Your WhatsApp account won't show the web search feature if you do not have the beta version of WhatsApp.

On Which Version of WhatsApp "Search on Web" Feature Was Launched?

The "Search on Web" feature was rolled out for beta users with WhatsApp v2.24.23.13 for Android and v24.22.10.79 for iOS.

I Cannot find the Image Reverse Search Feature on WhatsApp Web

The "Search on Web" feature is only available on WhatsApp Android and iOS versions.

Bottom Line

The reverse search feature will help offer better information on the images exchanged in Whatsapp chats. Make sure to regularly install app updates on the Play Store and App Store to receive the new feature when it rolls out for all users. As the web search feature is useful, WhatsApp may soon roll out its stable version on its mobile and web platforms. Featured Image Source

How to See who Viewed your Instagram Profile

Swayam Prakash — Mon, 11 Nov 2024 10:20:15 +0000

Are you worried someone may discover how often you've viewed their profile? Rest assured as Instagram doesn't currently offer a feature to track specific visitors. There is only one way to determine who frequently checks out an Instagram profile and that is through an Instagram story. Anyone viewing your story on Instagram within 24 hours of posting will appear under the story as its viewer. In this guide, we will learn if there are other workarounds besides Instagram stories for viewing the accounts that regularly visit your profile. Also, I have explained how to keep your Instagram content private while debunking the shady apps claiming to reveal the usernames of individuals stalking your account.

How to Check who visits your Instagram account?

You cannot exactly know the names of the Instagram users who visited your account or viewed your posts. However, there are various methods to determine engagement with your Instagram content.

1. Check the Instagram Account Insights

Here is how you can check your engagement with a professional account on Instagram.

Launch the Instagram app on your phone.
Tap on the profile icon at the bottom right corner to access your Instagram profile.
Press the menu button at the top-right corner to reveal a menu.
Tap on Insights. [The Insights option is exclusively available on a professional account]

Check your Instagram profile hits. You'll find a page of metrics under the "Overview" section, along with the content you have posted on your account. Profile visits are listed under the "Interactions" heading.

2. Switch to Instagram Business Account

Instagram provides business account owners with valuable insights about visitors to their page, though it doesn’t disclose specific usernames. If you want to access this information, follow the steps explained below to convert your basic Instagram account to a business account.

Open Instagram and hit the profile icon in the bottom right corner.
On your profile page, tap the hamburger menu in the top right corner.
Under Settings and Activity scroll down to Account Type and Tools and tap on it.
Select Switch to a Professional Account.
Tap Continue on the next screen to proceed with the account type change.
Choose your business type and tap Done. If this is a temporary change, you can select any option.
On the following page, select Business and press Next.
Enter any of your contact information, such as your phone number. Then tap Next again.
If you do not wish to connect your account to Facebook, press the button Skip.

Now, your account has been converted to a business account. To check how many users have engaged with your profile perform the steps below:

Go to your profile page on Instagram and tap the menu button in the top right corner.
Select Insights.
In the Accounts Engaged section, you can view the number of users who have visited your account.

All you will get is a figure and not the exact name of the users who have visited your account or viewed your content. If someone comments on your posts/story or likes your content, you will be notified of the same through push/email notifications. That is one way to see if a particular Instagram account is commenting on or liking your posts.

3. How to Know Who Checked Your Instagram Story?

Instagram Stories can help you identify who frequently engages with your account. By reviewing the list of people who viewed your story, you can spot any suspicious accounts or users who don’t follow you.

Post a public story on Instagram. [Your account must be set as public]
Open your Story by tapping your profile icon in the top left corner.
Swipe up the story to view the list of users who have viewed your Story.
If you suspect someone of stalking, tap the three dots next to their username in the list, and select the “Block” option.

4. View the Story Highlights

Since Instagram Stories will disappear after 24 hours, you need to check the viewer list daily if you post frequently. To see who checked your Instagram Story within 48 hours, create a "Story Highlight." Here's how to do it:

Open your Instagram story and click on the three dots at the bottom.
Select the Highlight option.
Tap on New, name the highlight, and then tap Add.
To view activity on the Story highlight, go to your profile and tap the recent highlight.
Tap on the Activity option at the bottom to see the list of viewers.

Once 48 hours have passed after posting a story or even adding it to highlights, the list of users who viewed the story won't be available anymore.

Instagram's Unbreakable Wall of Privacy

Meta sticks to its privacy guidelines strictly. It means after changing to the professional Instagram profile, you can view the number of visits on your profile but there is no way to know the visitor's Insta username. Some third-party apps claim they can reveal who viewed your profile. That's impossible due to strict user privacy and the terms of services of Instagram. A third-party app cannot interfere with or modify the functioning of Instagram. To make matters worse, these bogus apps can compromise your account security by asking permission to your login credentials. This can even lead to a permanent ban on your profile. It's best to avoid any third-party applications that require your login details. While you can't see who has visited your profile, you can still see who has viewed your Stories.

How to Make an Instagram Account Private?

Want to prevent unwanted users from accessing your profile? The solution is straightforward: make your Instagram profile private. Here’s how to do it:

Launch the Instagram app and go to your profile.
Tap the hamburger menu located at the top right corner.
Scroll to Account Privacy and tap on it.
Under the Account privacy tab, press the toggle next to Private Account and enable it.
In the confirmation pop-up, tap on Switch to private.

Once your account is set to private, all your activity will remain hidden from other users unless they send you a follow request on Instagram and you approve the same.

Can Third-Party Apps Reveal who Stalks your Instagram Profile?

Many third-party apps and websites claim to reveal who views your Instagram profile. However, this is technically impossible. Instagram’s API limits access to personal user data, including profile viewers, to safeguard user privacy. Consequently, these apps are unreliable and offer fake credibility. There are high chances of jeopardizing your account security by linking your account to such apps or providing them with your login credentials.

Focus on Content Engagement Metrics

Rather than obsessing over who views your profile, concentrate on creating meaningful connections and engaging content that attracts your audience organically. Monitor metrics such as likes, comments, and shares to analyze the effectiveness of your posts and identify areas for growth.

Understand the Instagram Terms of Service

It's important to understand the limitations of Instagram’s platform and respect user privacy. While curiosity about profile visitors is natural, Instagram prioritizes user privacy and security, and tracking profile visitors violates its terms of service.

Protect Your Instagram Account

Be careful when granting access to third-party apps or websites claiming to reveal profile viewers. Avoid sharing sensitive details, such as login information or personal data, and regularly review your account's security settings to ensure maximum protection against unauthorized access.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I See who Viewed my Instagram Stories?

Yes. If you post more stories than regular posts, you'll have better luck tracking who’s engaging with your content. The list of viewers is available for 24 hours, but if you save your stories, you can still see who viewed them(up to 48 hours) and how many people did so. You need to be logged in to access this information.

Can I See who Viewed my Instagram Video?

Videos on your Instagram story follow the same rules as photos: you can see the list of viewers for 24 hours after the story goes live. You can only see the total number of views for videos posted as regular posts or Instagram reels. You won't know exactly who viewed it. Instagram reels track the number of plays rather than individual viewers, prohibiting you from knowing exactly who watched it.

Can someone see the number of times you have viewed their Instagram profile?

No. Instagram does not permit users to see how many times someone has viewed their profile. The platform prioritizes user privacy and does not provide this information to anyone.

Is there a Specific App that can Check who Views your Instagram Account?

No app, whether third-party or Instagram itself, can reveal who has viewed your Insta account. Therefore, it's advisable not to spend money on any app or service that claims to offer this feature.

Bottom Line

While Instagram offers some insights into who engages with your content, it maintains strict privacy measures that prevent users from seeing who views their profile or how many times a profile is visited by a particular account. This ensures a level of privacy and security for all users. However, converting your regular account to a business account can provide you with valuable engagement metrics, which can help understand your audience better. It’s crucial to avoid third-party apps claiming to reveal profile viewers, to keep your Instagram account access secure. Stick to Instagram's built-in tools to monitor your account's performance. Ultimately, respecting privacy guidelines and protecting your account should be the priorities while using Instagram.

How to Disable Google Smart Lock on Instagram?

Ansar Ahmed — Sat, 19 Oct 2024 14:24:41 +0000

Smart Lock is one of the useful features that allows individuals to store and sync their passwords across Chrome browsers and social media platforms. This is an advantage for users who always find it arduous to remember the login credentials while logging into the website and social media applications such as Instagram, Facebook, etc. Smart Lock securely stores multiple login information in your Google account that can be accessed when logging into an account or the web. Through this, users can easily sign in to individual apps with the saved username and password. In a few cases, the Smart Lock behaves inappropriately with apps like Instagram. Also, many users claimed that they're unable to log in to another account than the one stored by Smart Lock. Let's assume that you have saved your credentials to Smart Lock. Now when you try to log in to your account with the same credentials and you accidentally log into another one, this might disturb you. To address the problem, you can disable Google Smart Lock on Instagram. So, let's get right to it.

Ways to Turn Off Google Smart Lock for Instagram

Generally, when you try logging into the Instagram account, then you will get a prompt that will allow you to sign in via Google Smart Lock. This happens due to saved credentials in the Smart Lock. Now if you want to disable the Smart Lock on Instagram, you're in the right place. Here, we show you various methods to disable Google Smart Lock.

1. Disable Google Smart Lock from Trusted Agents

Trusted agents are mainly responsible for all the passcode logins you make in applications like Instagram. This is why you may see prompts from the Smart Lock and not from other apps. Luckily, you can disable the Google Smart Lock from trusted agents. Here's how:

Open the Settings app on your smartphone and tap on Fingerprints, face data, and screen lock.
Tap on Privacy and choose More Security settings.
Then, tap on Trust Agents.
Disable the toggle next to the Extend Unlock or Google Play Store, depending on the device.

You have successfully disabled Smart Lock on your smartphone. Do note that the settings may vary depending on the device you have. But you can typically find the trust agents in the Security and privacy settings. In case you don't find the options, you can search for them in the search bar.

2. Delete Saved Instagram Password

When you allow Google Smart Lock to save your credentials, it will store them and let you sign in to the particular app or web. To get rid of the irritating sign-in prompts, you can delete the Instagram saved password. Here's how:

Open the Settings app on your smartphone.
Scroll down and tap on Google.
Select the requisite Google account and tap on Google Account. You can also access your Google account from the Gmail app by tapping on the profile icon.
On the Google Account page, swipe right to the Security tab and tap on it.
Then, scroll down to the Password Manager section and select Manage Passwords.
Here, you will get different apps and websites that save your credentials. Look for an Instagram app and tap on it.
If any prompt appears related to security, enter your password to proceed.
Here you can see the password and other details of Instagram. Tap on the Delete button to remove the saved Instagram password.

With these steps, you can disable the Google Smart Lock on Instagram, and you will not get sign-in prompts again while signing in to another account.

3. Disable Google Smart Lock Permanently

You can also disable the Smart Lock permanently on your device where you can add apps and websites to the list. Here's how:

Open the Settings app on your smartphone.
Scroll down and tap on Google.
Select the requisite Google account and tap on Google Account. You can also access your Google account from the Gmail app by tapping on the profile icon.
On the Google Account page, swipe right to the Security tab and tap on it.
Scroll down and tap on Manage Passwords in the Password Manager section.
Tap on the Settings tab from the bottom panel right side.
Scroll down to the Declined Sites and Apps section. Then, tap on Add more (plus sign).
Here, you will get the apps and web lists. Find and select the Instagram app from the list.

4. Turn Off Auto Sign-In Prompts

Last but not least, you can disable auto sign-in prompts temporarily to get rid of sign-in prompts from pop-ups on the screen. Here's how:

Open the Settings app on your smartphone.
Scroll down and tap on Google.
Choose the desired Google account and tap on Google Account. You can also access your Google account from the Gmail app by tapping on the profile icon.
On the Google Account page, swipe right to the Security tab and tap on it.
Scroll down and tap on Manage Passwords in the Password Manager section.
Tap on the Settings tab from the bottom panel left side.
Disable the toggle next to the “Offer to save passwords” and “Auto sign-in” option.

Now you have turned off the auto sign-in option on your smartphone. Now you will not get the sign-in prompts pop-up menu. On the screen while signing into another account on Instagram. You can sign in by entering your username and password.

The Bottom Line

This is how you can Turn Off the Google Smart Lock for Instagram on Android. Smart Lock is useful in some cases, but it messes up sometimes especially when logging in to Instagram. However, the problem can be solved by disabling the Google Smart Lock from trusted agents. Additionally, you can delete your saved Instagram password and turn off auto sign-in. This way, you can't get the auto sign-in pop-up prompts on the screen to log in to respective apps. I hope you have found this guide helpful.

What Happens When You Accidentally Like and Immediately Unlike an Instagram Post?

Swayam Prakash — Sat, 19 Oct 2024 08:15:26 +0000

Social media opens the windows for its users to glimpse into other people's lives. No other social networking platform does it better than Instagram. Everyone with an Instagram account has more or less experienced the voyage of endless scrolling across profiles and posts. While scrolling on an Instagram profile, you may accidentally like a post. Now, it would not matter if you are going through the posts of a celebrity or similar public figure. However, if you are stalking some regular person, it may get embarrassing if they find out you were going through their posts. You may immediately dislike the post, but does that Instagram user get notified about your activity? What happens if you accidentally like an Instagram post and instantly unlike it? Is there any way to check out an Instagram profile without them knowing? This article answers all of those questions.

How to Unlike an Instagram Post?

This section is usually for less social media-savvy users. Pressing the heart-shaped button under a post turns it into a red heart, signifying that you have liked the post. You may also double-tap on an Instagram post to like it. Press once on the red heart-shaped icon and it will change into a blank heart icon. It indicates you have unliked the Instagram post.

Does an Instagram User get Notified if You Like and Unlike a Post?

By default, when you like a post of an Instagram user, the platform will log it as an activity performed by you. It will immediately forward a notification to the user whose post you liked. If the concerned user has push notifications activated, they will right away receive a notification on their mobile device that a specific user(you) has liked a post. Now, if they are celebrities whose accounts are usually managed by social media teams, it is not an issue at all. Everyone likes to stalk celebrities on Instagram and there is a huge number of likes and comments on their posts. However, if it is a regular person with their notifications turned off, won't notice it until they manually check their Instagram notification panel. [The heart-shaped button with a red dot indicating unchecked notifications] Some people don't really care if strangers are checking out their profile or accidentally liking a post or two. They may take it as a pinch of salt and ignore the incident.

Does Unliking an Instagram Post Delete the Notification?

If a user is active on Instagram and at that moment, you accidentally like one of their post, even though you press unlike, there are chances of them seeing your profile name appear on their Instagram notification panel or under the specific post that you have liked. Irrespective of you undoing the like in a split second, the notification will appear on their Instagram notification panel with your username defining the activity. For instance, the notification will read, "xyz has liked your photo." [where xyz refers to the username of the person who liked the post] When they tap on the notification, Instagram will redirect them to that post which you had liked and rapidly unliked. As you have already unliked the post, your username won't appear in the list of Instagram handles that liked that post. Sometimes the concerned user has a very low number of Instagram posts and has the like count on their posts disabled. That way they may manually check and see who liked their posts.

How to View an Instagram Account Without the User Knowing?

While you are logged into the Instagram app, you may want to scroll through someone's Instagram account. It may happen that when you scroll down quickly on your smartphone screen, you may accidentally double-tap on a photo and like it in the process. There is a simple way by which you can go through someone's Instagram posts without logging into your account.

While you are logged into Instagram access the specific user whose account posts you want to view.
Note down the username of that account.
Next, log out of the Instagram app. [I suggest temporarily uninstalling Instagram from your phone]
Open any web browser app or launch the browser on your PC.
In the url bar type that username in the following format. instagram.com/xyz
Let the account content load on the webpage.
Scroll on the account from one post to another.

NOTE: xyz is a placeholder for the username you noted down in the second step.

As you are not logged in, there is no way you can mistakenly press like for any post. If you don't uninstall Instagram, viewing the profile on the browser may redirect you to the app. It will open that account on it by logging you in. That's something you don't want. There is a caveat in the above process though. Without logging into your Instagram account, on the browser, you can view only a limited number of posts of any other profile. Also, you cannot view the posts made by private accounts.

Disclaimer: We don't promote stalking or any such behavior on the internet. Be a responsible netizen and make all social media platforms safe for everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

I Can't View the Account Whose Posts I Liked-Unliked: Why's That?

Most likely, that account blocked you. They probably became aware that someone they don't know is stalking their account and liking their posts(even if it was one post). So, they blocked you for their online safety.

The Account whose Posts I Liked-Unliked Has Changed to Private.

They don't like unknown Insta users prowling on their accounts and may have mistakenly kept the account access public. Now, they might have switched their account to private mode to hide their content from the people who don't follow them or vice versa.

Is it possible to Prevent a User from Viewing the Notification?

NO. Once you like, comment, or share a post on Instagram, regardless of whether you later choose to delete your activity, the user whose post you liked/commented on will receive a notification via push settings or by visiting the in-app notification panel. Somehow, if the user rarely uses Instagram, they most likely won't see or care about you liking their pictures or videos.

Bottom Line

Now, you are clear about what happens when you like someone's post on Instagram and immediately dislike it. I would suggest against stalking the general folks who may have a public Instagram account. If you know the person, follow them to view and like their photos or reels. Then you won't be worried about liking their posts accidentally while checking their profile.

How to Fix Instagram Keeps Logging Me Out?

Nikhil Azza — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 09:37:38 +0000

The Instagram app has been reported to be malfunctioning on Twitter over the past few days. A "network error" occurs when people attempt to log into the Instagram app, preventing them from staying logged in. Other people are reporting that they are unable to access their accounts after multiple attempts to log in. While some received a message that said: "Error. Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again", many say they can still not log in. There have been reports of Instagram login issues in different countries. But, nothing to worry about as we have some workaround to resolve the random logging out of the Instagram account.

Why Does Instagram Say You've Been Logged Out?

You may be logged out of your Instagram account for several reasons. If you encounter this issue on your device, you should remember these reasons so that you can address them. As discussed earlier, the situation may not be under your control if Instagram bugs cause the problem. The only thing left to do now is to wait until the bug is fixed before using Instagram again. There may be a reason why Instagram keeps logging out just because multiple accounts are connected to one app. You can log out of other accounts if you want to keep your Instagram account stable. You may have changed your Instagram password on another device without updating the one you are currently using on Instagram. In this case, Instagram might not function properly.

What to do if Instagram Logging you Out?

Since Instagram added the business account feature to the settings, many businesses are eager to use it to boost their business. Instagram accounts are important for individuals, so it is evident how important they can be. So, fixing the randomly logging out of the Instagram account is very crucial, and to do so, here are some steps:

Fix 1: Clear Instagram Cache

In mobile devices, caches are small data files that speed up the performance of apps. Nevertheless, corrupt caches may cause performance issues with your apps. If you are experiencing an "Instagram keeps logging out" issue, try clearing the Instagram cache on your devices. Here's how to do it: For iOS:

On your Apple device, go to Settings and select General.
Click the iPhone Storage icon.
To clear your Instagram cache, select Instagram from the App list and click Offload App.[gallery columns="2" size="full" link="none" ids="38380,38381"]

For Android:

Long press the Instagram app icon and tap on the i button on the shortcut menu.
Access Storage and Cache.
Then, hit the Clear Cache button.

You can then again log into your Instagram account using your data once again. As a result, Instagram should no longer log you out from their platform after doing this.

Fix 3: Force Close Instagram

Some pesky technical issues in the app may cause you to log out from your Instagram account randomly. Force close the app on your Android and iOS device to check if it solves the problem. Android,

Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to view the active apps.
Hold and swipe up the Instagram app card to close it.
Access the app drawer and tap the Instagram app icon to launch it.

iOS,

Double-tap the home button to view the recent apps.
Navigate horizontally to the Instagram app card.
Hold and swipe up the Instagram app card to kill the app.
Go to the App library to relaunch Instagram.

Fix 3: Restart your Device

The Instagram issue may be caused by overloading your device, which could cause problems with the app's system. However, suppose the random logging out of the Instagram account is caused by overloading your device; restarting your device will help resolve the issue.

Fix 4: Update Instagram App

One of the reasons why software continually receives updates is to fix bugs for various reasons. You may be logged out of your Instagram account unnecessarily, and the performance of the app may be affected if your Instagram app version contains bugs. For this reason, you should check Google Play or the App Store for Instagram updates and download them. You will be able to use the app more effectively when you do this. This will help you fix the bug. For Android:

To download, go to the Google Play Store.
On your screen, click the profile icon.
Then select Manage apps & devices.
Locate Instagram on the app list and click Update.

For iOS:

On your iOS device, open the App Store.
Tap on the profile icon.
On the next screen, scroll down to Instagram and click Update. Then, open Instagram and log in once the Update has been completed.

Fix 5: Disable VPN

It is possible for Instagram to log out users who use VPNs while using their mobile devices. If you're having trouble logging out of Instagram, try disconnecting the VPN service on your device. VPN creates a proxy server that may have a different location from where your phone is located. This triggers Instagram filters to log you out to protect your device from unauthorized access.

Fix 6: Log in With Your New Password

The log-out issue on Instagram may be specific to mobile apps only. I suggest logging into your Instagram account from the web browser on a PC.

First, log out of the Instagram app on your phone.
Open any browser on your computer.
Go to Instagram.com and enter the necessary credentials to log in to your account.
Use Instagram and observe if you are getting logged out.

If the problem was with the operating system, switching to the PC while using Instagram should resolve the problem.

Fix 7: Delink your Instagram Account from Third-Party Apps

Instagram doesn’t tolerate it if you have given third-party apps access to your account. It goes against the platform’s guidelines. Maybe Instagram is not functioning normally and you are getting logged out due to any of the third-party apps linked to your account. So, promptly de-link all the third-party apps connected to your account.

Go to your Instagram profile and tap the menu button at the top right corner.
Scroll to App Website Permissions and tap on it.
Access Apps and Websites to see the applications with access to the Instagram account.
Press Remove to de-link any app/site connected to your account.
Now, log out of Instagram and log in again.

Fix 8: Reset Instagram Password

If your account is being used by someone else(with access to your Instagram login credentials) from another device, you may get logged out of your device. Change the Instagram account password to gain total control over it.

Press the menu button in your Instagram profile.
Tap on Accounts Centre.
Go to Password and Security.
Tap on Change Password.
Tap on the Instagram account(if you have multiple accounts) whose password you want to change.
Enter the current password.
Provide the new password and retype it.
Tap the checkbox “Log out of Other Devices”.
Press Change Password.

Fix 9: Reinstall Instagram App

If updating Instagram did not fix the log-out issue, uninstall the app from your device and reinstall the most latest version of the app from the Play Store or Apple App Store. On Android,

Long press on the Instagram app icon.
Press the i button in the shortcut menu.
Tap Uninstall and press OK to confirm.
Launch the Play Store app,
Search for Instagram and tap Install to download the app on your Android device.

On iOS,

Long press on the Instagram app icon and select Delete App.
Press Delete to confirm.
Launch the App Store and search for Instagram.
Press the download icon to get the app back on your device.

Fix 10: Report the Problem to Instagram

If you tried all the troubleshooting methods offered in this article but continue to get logged out of your Instagram session, report the issue to Instagram. It could be a technical issue that can only be fixed at the developers’ end.

Open your Instagram profile and tap the menu button at the top right corner.
Scroll to Help and tap on it.
Press Report a Problem.
Next, tap on Report a Problem without Shaking.
Tap Include and Continue to attach logs and diagnostics for reference with your complaint.
Explain the log-out error briefly and press Send to forward the bug report.

Bottom Line

Instagram is widely used by people to create content and connect with their peers. It is even used for running online businesses. Getting logged out of your account is a massive blow to the workflow of social media-savvy users. The troubleshooting tips explained in the guide should fix the Instagram log-out issue.

What to do if Fansly Account Gets Terminated or Suspended?

Swayam Prakash — Tue, 03 Sep 2024 17:01:52 +0000

Fansly is a hotbed for adult content creators. It provides an easy way to make money by uploading NSFW videos. However, like any other registered business, Fansly tightly enforces its Terms of Services. These are legal regulations that creators and users are bound to follow when using the platform to create or consume content. A Fansly creator may receive an account termination or suspension when they violate the Terms of Services of Fansly. I have seen numerous complaints on Reddit from Fansly content creators regarding accounts getting suspended or closed. In most cases, users are not tech-savvy and have no idea why they got banned. This guide explains the primary reasons that may lead to getting a Fanlsy account suspended and what one should do to resolve the matter to get their account back.

Why do Fansly Bans an Account?

Fansly is owned by Select Media LLC, a subsidiary of the Jim Pattison group. It is a digital product that is a business instrument for the company that owns and manages it. To use a product there are rules which are described in the Terms of Services. It is simple to understand that violating specific regulations set by Fansly can invite a permanent or temporary ban on an account. Let us understand those clauses from the Terms of Service to which the Fansly creators must adhere.

Using Minors in the Content

If Fansly is convinced that in your video you have depicted or used performers who are minors, it will enforce a ban immediately. A minor is an individual who is less than 18 years old(as per the US Laws). To appeal against the ban, you have to provide Fansly with proper legal documents to prove that the other performers deemed as minors are adults. Also, you have to get a consent letter from the concerned co-performers about their claim of age and legality to appear in the video.

Uploading Videos Depicting Inappropriate Content

It may sound ironic that on a site like Fansly, where NSFW and nudity are displayed openly, what could constitute inappropriate content? NSFW videos with violence, gore, blood, physical abuse, child abuse, and urination, are not allowed on Fansly. Nudity without any graphic detail is allowed. The adult videos are meant to be entertaining and not to cause some alert or chaos among the users.

The Policy of No Child Abuse

You will invite an instant ban if your content is found or reported to depict abuse of one or more children. Children are included under the minors and using or abusing them is an illegal act in almost all regions including the US where Fansly operates.

Sex Trafficking is not Allowed

If you are using models/performers in your Fansly video who you have procured through the flesh trade, it accounts for a serious offense. A ban of a permanent nature may be enforced along with legal proceedings against you when the guilt is proven. Even if the whole fiasco has happened without your due diligence, still being part of the video as a creator, you will be liable as an offender with others involved in the trafficking.

Scam Chargebacks

If an account is found to be indulged in intentional chargebacks on purchases on Fansly, the platform may immediately ban the concerned account. Some individuals use stolen credit cards to make purchases on Fansly. If the guilt is proven, accounts associated with the fraud will be banned from using Fansly.

Selling, Renting, or Transferring the Account is Prohibited

When you create an account, it belongs to you only for creating and sharing videos on Fansly. You cannot rent, sell, or transfer the account to someone else. This is against the terms of use stated by Fansly. If someone else is using your Fansly account, it will be promptly banned.

Violation of Rules Set for Creating Content with a Co-Creator

Working with a co-creator to produce a video on Fansly is allowed. However, your co-creator must be tagged in your video and verified to be of legal age to take part in NSFW videos. If it is found that your co-creator is a minor and the video act presents any form of abuse, or violent acts there is a high chance of your account receiving a suspension.

Impersonating Fansly Through Ad Services

Using Google ads, Facebook ads, or any other ad services to impersonate Fansly or its representative to sell any other material is marked as a violation of the Terms of Services of Fansly. Any account involved in such practices will be duly banned.

Collecting Personal Details of Other Users

Using any means to farm the data of other creators and users of Fansly when noticed can lead to a ban on the suspected account. If you are using the platform to create content, stick to the terms of its usage and focus solely on content creation. Involving in any other shady business will only invite legal troubles and an eventual ban.

Depiction of Hatred

Promoting hatred, hate speech, racist depiction, abusive speech towards any religion, and blasphemous content, can get you banned on Fansly. If you receive a ban on these grounds, appeal for the same, remove the derogatory content from your account and Fansly may lift the ban.

NOTE: Placing or revoking a ban of any nature on an account is solely the discretion of Fansly.

Using any form of Automation on Fansly

Fansly prefers its users(creators) to generate viewership and revenue genuinely and organically. If the creator is found using any form of automation, script, or plugin to farm views or generate revenues it may result in account suspension. Even using automation or hacking to affect any other creator's profile or bypass any restriction or feature of Fansly will not be tolerated and a ban will be effected.

NOTE: Avoid using any ad-blockers on Fansly. Ding so may prohibit you from using the platform.

These are some of the primary reasons which when violated call for an instant ban of temporary or permanent nature on Fansly. In case, you are an aspiring video content creator on Fansly or want to upload NSFW videos on Fansly, check out the complete Fansly Terms of Service to better understand the rules set by the video-sharing platform.

How to Remove an Account Suspension/Termination on Fansly?

Fansly is widely known for replying to user queries on their social media and emails. Here are the basic steps you must follow to initiate your complaint and

Send email to support@fansly.com
Understand what Terms of Service you violated which Fansly will communicate to you via email.
Provide any proof of your claims that concretize your innocence in the issue that will help Fansly lift the ban.

At all times, avoid being rude or using any sort of profanity, or threat to Fansly through email exchanges. That may lead to further trouble and you may completely lose access to Fansly. In addition, you may face legal proceedings from Fansly.

NOTE: Always for any interaction with Fansly, send an email to the support domain only. Do not send any email, message, or money to suspicious untrusted third parties claiming to represent Fansly.

Bottom Line

Before signing up to use any online platform to upload content, thoroughly check their Terms of Services. Do not violate or circumvent any rules that will result in a ban or legal action. It applies to Fansly as well given how popular a platform it is for video content creators. I hope this guide helped you understand why Fansly may ban or suspend a creator's account and how to resolve the issue.

What is Fansly? How Does it Work? [All You Need to Know]

Swayam Prakash — Sun, 01 Sep 2024 08:00:31 +0000

Social media has seen a massive boom in the last few years. Most internet-based businesses that came to prominence received overwhelming support and instant popularity from the young audience. Fansly is one of creators and viewers' most sought-after social platforms. This guide explains what Fansly is and how it works. Fansly is a subscription-based video-sharing website. It follows the footsteps of OnlyFans, as both are best known for hosting adult content creators. Fansly came into existence in 2020, almost four years after OnlyFans had already carved its niche in the NSFW content. During the pandemic, OnlyFans decided to pull the plug on supporting adult content on its platform. That proved disastrous for OnlyFans business-wise. With creators backlashing at OnlyFans, the website had to roll back the decision within a week. The damage was done and the adult video creators switched their base to Fansly, the next best alternative to OnlyFans. Fansly saw a stellar rise in its creator and audience base.

How Does Fansly Work?

Fansly is a legitimate platform owned by Select Media LLC, a US-based firm. While Fansly is broadly known for housing adult content, it supports general(Safe-for-Work) content creators with videos on fitness, music, athletics, and dance. The modus operandi of Fansly is pretty simple. Creators have to sign up with Fansly. They then create content of their choice and offer it to the Fansly audience. The audience subscribes to one or more Fansly creators based on a specific subscription level. The creator makes money off the subscription, tips, locked content, and merchandise(sold externally but linked to the creator's account). Fansly takes a 20 percent commission from the creator's total revenue, hence making money from the business.

What Type of Content is Allowed on Fansly?

The majority of content is of course adult-centric. Speaking of which, Fansly freely allows the showcasing of complete nudity. However, other creators like fitness trainers, professional dancers, teachers, musicians, and chefs offer various videos showing and teaching their craft to the audience. Fansly has its regulations as well which it strictly implements for the content creators and audience. The platform doesn't allow imagery that depicts violence, uses minors, physical abuse, child abuse, non-consensual pictures, trafficking, and all the generally illegal material. Check out the Fansly Terms of Services here to understand in detail the content allowed on the site, who owns the uploaded content, and the rules that are a must for the creators and fans to follow.

How to Make Money as a Creator on Fansly?

There are several money-making outlets that Fansly creators can follow to ensure a good flow of revenue from their videos. The primary source of income is Fansly subscription. The audience pays a monthly or annual subscription fee to view specific content from a particular Fansly creator. The individual creator decides the subscription tier and associated fees. Apart from that, creators can create and upload pay-per-view content on Fansly. It will be locked content that can be viewed only when the audience pays specifically for that content. Creators can set up a "Buy me a coffee" link on their Fansly account to allow some generous and genuine audience to pay a tip that directly goes to them. They may also offer one-to-one messaging or video calls for a particular fee. The above tips will work only when the content a creator produces has a mass appeal. Irrespective of whether the content is NSFW or not, the quality of content and consistency will ensure an organic growth of audience and revenue in the long run. A creator can also refer another model/creator to Fansly and earn up to 5% commission from the revenue generated by the referred creator. This is called a referral bonus. Fansly creators can tease their audience by hiding sections of their photos with an emoji. The viewer has to pay a certain amount to peel off the emoji to view the complete image. If you want to start uploading content on Fansly, kickstart your journey by signing up on the platform here.

How to Promote Your Fansly Profile?

Cross-posting and sharing your videos via snippet clips on various social media apps will greatly help in bringing organic visitors to your Fansly account. Reddit is the hottest platform for most Fansly creators(mostly NSFW artists) where they share small clips of their popular videos. They link the complete video to their Fansly profile(paywalled content). NSFW content is widely circulated and posted on Reddit making it easier for Fansly creators to find their target audience. Instagram is another great platform to share the BTS images of the videos you have shot for Fansly. Link your Fansly video in the Instagram post description. It will redirect the user to your account on the Fansly site and access the full content. For other non-NSFW creators, YouTube, Facebook, X(formerly Twitter), Discord, and Instagram are sufficient to find organic engagement that will funnel their target audience from these social media apps to Fansly. Serious fans can pay their favorite creator to learn any craft or simply enjoy the entertaining videos on Fansly.
