Instagram does have restricted features on a desktop at the moment, with users limited on how much they can post, see and engage with.

How to Log in to Instagram

As stated Earlier,there are two methods of logging in to your Instagram account;

On Mobile Phone

See How To Enable Your Facebook

You can reactivate your account whenever you want. Deactivating Facebook does not do much. All it does is put a kind of freeze on your information. Basically, deactivating is a way to cool off from Facebook for a while so, it is really, really easy to reactivate it and get back in quickly.

Reactivating Facebook means that your friends will reappear on your friend's list again and any new status updates you put up will start showing up in your friends' news feeds.

How to Reactivate Facebook Account

• Go to Facebook at www.facebook.com on your desktop or open the facebook app on your mobile phone.
• Log in with the two boxes at the very top right of the screen for desktop or the log in boxes in  the Facebook app.
• Put in the same email and password that you used when you last logged into Facebook.

And that's it!. You have reactivated your Facebook account and restored your old profile the moment you successfully logged back into Facebook. Facebook interprets any sign-in to mean that you want to use your account again, so it  reactivates your Facebook account immediately.


Note: The instructions above are only valid if you deactivated your account and not if you permanently deleted your Facebook Account. If you are not sure of what you did,you can go ahead and follow these steps to see if you can get back in.

How to Check Recent Visitors on Facebook

How to Check Recent Visitors on Facebook: You may wonder who and who visits your profile, there is no sure  way to determine the identities of users who visit your profile, and any service or method that claims to do so is most likely inaccurate. It's also worth knowing that, due to the News Feed's algorithm, visiting people's profiles is less common than it used to be in the past. We would help you make calculated guesses on who your profile visitors are in this article.

Facebook Profile visitors

Method 1

Using Your Friends List

• Log in to Facebook.
• Click your name tab. It's in the upper-right corner of the Facebook page. This takes you to your Facebook profile page.On mobile, tap ☰ in the bottom-right corner of the screen (iPhone) or the top-right corner of the screen (Android).
• Click Friends. This is found near the top of your profile page. It will bring up a list of your Facebook friends.On mobile, tap Friends in the menu.
• Review the top results. The top 10 to 20 friends in this list are the people with whom you have the most frequent interactions, which means that they most likely visit your profile more often than other people.
• Consider each of your top friends. Someone who has a few hundred friends is much more likely to view your profile than is someone who has a few thousand friends; this will help you narrow down the list of people who are likely to be viewing your page.If you see a person with whom you don't go out of your way to interact, they're probably viewing your page a fair amount.
• Look through friend suggestions. If you receive a Facebook notification urging you to add certain people, the people in question are most likely friends of one (or more) of your most frequent profile visitors.

Method 2

Using a Status

• Open Facebook, then Log in.
• Select the status text box. Click or tap the text box near the top of the News Feed page. This text box usually has a phrase such as "What's on your mind?" in it.
• Type in a neutral status. This might be a joke, a fact, or a general statement, but stay away from topics that will evoke strong emotions in your friend group.Avoid mentioning sensitive or partisan issues.Don't tag anyone in your status, as doing so will affect the results..
• Click Post. It's in the bottom-right corner of the status window.On mobile, you'll tap Share in the upper-right corner instead.
• Wait to see who likes the status. After a certain amount of time (e.g., 8 hours), review the status to see who liked it.If applicable, make a note of who commented on the status as well.
• Repeat this test several more times. You'll want at least 5 different statuses to compare against each other.
• Compare the mutual people who liked your statuses. If you noticed that a large number of the same people liked and/or commented on your Facebook statuses each time, its possible they are visiting your Facebook page more often than other people in your friends list.

Now you know who your Facebook profile visitors are, you may want to send a message to someone who constantly visits your page and likes your posts, it could be them showing interest you know.

How To Know When Someone Unfollows You On Twitter

As a Twitter user, you should fully understand that following someone is not a guarantee they will return the favor, and that’s fine. Life can be unpredictable to which Twitter is no exception.

There are some awesome tools online that you can use to know which users aren’t following you back, inactive persons on Twitter, and much more. Below are four great tools that you can take advantage of and the best part is that they’re free.

ManageFlitter

ManageFlitter is an impressive app that will give you a complete report of those that you’re connected with in some way on Twitter. Through your Twitter account, you will have access to lists of those who aren’t following you back, inactive users, and spam accounts, among other variables. 

ManageFlitter is convenient too, especially in the list format, you can unfollow users with one simple click. When using this tool, it’s important to see who is inactive. While these users may already follow you back, if they’re designated as ‘inactive,’ it means that they haven’t tweeted in at least thirty days. If they aren’t tweeting, why follow them?

Friend or Follow

One of the great features of Friend or Follow is that it doesn’t just focus on Twitter, but it takes a look at Instagram and Tumblr as well. In terms of Twitter, you can sort users by various factors, including whether or not they’re verified, when they last tweeted, how old their account is, or how frequent they tweet, for example. While this is another great tool to see who isn’t following you back, it’s a little bit more time consuming than ManageFlitter, in that to follow someone, you need to open their profile into a new tab or window. However, great features make up for that. While you have the option to pay for additional features with Friend or Follow, the free version of the tool more than serves its purpose.

Unfollowers

Unfollowers is another helpful tool that even includes a mention tracker, so that you can see who (either that you’re following or who follows you) has interacted with you in the past. Not only that, but you can set the layout to either have a list, grid, table, or button format, with the table format being shown above. Through the various layout options, you’re given informative statistics on the Twitter users that you’re following and that are following you, and just like with ManageFlitter, it’s very convenient to follow and unfollow, all with one click.

TwitNERD

Another free tool, twitNERD, is great in that it has a unique feature for you to use to find people to follow. Through the ‘Follow by Keyword’ tab, you are able to input any keyword or phrase, which will introduce you to various influencers and popular users on Twitter that fit the particular description of what you’re looking for. This is a great way for finding new users to connect with. Not only that, but twitNERD has a great feature in that it will automatically generate ‘Follow Friday’ tweets for you, based on factors such as those who retweet you and mention you the most. This will save you time, while also crafting a tweet on your behalf that sends a ‘thank you’ out to your loyal followers.

Through social media, it’s important to see who is connected with you. What tools are you using to see who is and isn’t following you back on Twitter?

Where To Know If You Have Been Unfriended On Facebook

The ability to unfriend 'friends' on Facebook is handy, but the site does not make it easy to find out if other users have removed you as a friend. That is kind of  understandable, since finding out that a certain someone has 'banished' you from their digital world is not exactly the best feeling in the world.

Browsing through and scanning your friends list will only get you so far. You have to put in a little more effort with a little detective work to make sure you have not gotten the wrong end of the stick.
Although, it may not be personal and they may have simply just deactivated or deleted their Facebook account.

How to find out if you've been Unfriended on Facebook

• Your first port of call should be Messenger. 

You could search for that former one time Facebook friend in your inbox and, if they are still on Facebook and have not blocked you, their profile picture and name will appear under the 'More People' heading. If it doesn't, then......

• Use of 3rd party Applications

If you're curious as to why your Facebook friend count is down, there are apps that tell you who exactly unfriended you. Some of them are:

Who Deleted Me

Who Deleted Me is a free app for iOS and Android. Its also a browser extension for Google Chrome ans it works by saving a copy of your friend list after you first use the app. When you revisit the app or browser extension, it will compare your friend list with the saved version and tell you who your missing friends are and who recently became your Facebook friend. This, unfortunately, means that you can't see who unfriended you before you began using the app.

Find Person by Picture on Facebook

When you join Facebook you will be presented with multiple options for finding friends. If you have friends that aren't already on Facebook, you can send them a personal invitation to join Facebook, and become your friend.

After adding your friends on Facebook, you can engage and interact with them through your Facebook profile. Do note that some users do not make themselves searchable on Facebook, so you may not be able to find them.The methods below can help you find the people you are looking for.

How to find friends on Facebook using the Search Bar

• Navigate to the Facebook search bar which is on the upper left hand corner of your home page. The search bar is designed to help you find a specific person, even if you do not know their last name. The search results are based mainly on the information you have included in your profile
• Type in your friends name on the search bar. Once you start typing, Facebook will begin to generate results for the most likely query based on your profile information. Facebook is more likely to suggest friends who are from your own country or city, or friends who share the same college or workplace. 
• Include a relevant detail; If you can not find your friend with just their name, include the name of their city, college, workplace, etc. This may likely narrow down your results
• Type in your friend's email address into the search bar. If you know your friend's email address, you can also type it directly in to the search bar. Their profile will appear only if the email address you typed in is the one they have linked with their Facebook account.
• Add them. Once you have found the correct profile, click on it and navigate their profile page to the “Add Friend” button toward the top to send a friend request.
• If the person is a new or long lost friend, or someone who you haven't seen in a while, it is considered polite to send them a message along with your request. Help them remember who you are, so they do not deny the request by mistake.

Importing your Email Contacts into Facebook

• Click on "Find Friends" at the top right of the Facebook tab. The page will refresh and Facebook will generate a list of “People You May Know” based on the information in your profile.
• Navigate to the “Add Personal Contacts” box. You will find this box at the right hand side of the screen. This box will show the email address that is currently linked with your account.
• Import your email contacts. Follow the directions provided by Facebook to import the email contacts from the email address of your choice. Directions may vary depending on your email service provider, For example, if you use Gmail, you will be required to log in to your Gmail account, click on "Export" within Gmail, and select the contacts you want uploaded to Facebook.
• Browse the friend suggestions provided to you by Facebook. Facebook will search for your friends using the email addresses and names that were imported from your email account.

Inviting Friends to Facebook

If you can’t find the person you are looking for by any of the previously mentioned methods, it is possible that they do not have a Facebook account yet. You can take the opportunity to invite them to join you on Facebook.

• Click on 'Find Friends' . This button is in the upper right corner of your Facebook tab. 
• Navigate to the "Invite Your Friends" box. You will find this box at the bottom right-hand side of the page under the “Add Personal Contacts” box. Here you can access a search bar, which allows you to enter phone numbers and email address of people you know who you would like to invite to Facebook.
• Type your friend’s number or email into the search box and Facebook will  notify them that you have requested their presence on Facebook.
• To invite more than one friend at once, insert a comma after each email address or phone number.

If you have not been able to find someone on Facebook, and you do not have their phone number or email, then asking them in person is a great way to connect. Suggest that you would enjoy keeping in touch with them on Facebook.

See How you can View People You may know on Facebook

Where do 'People You May Know' suggestions come from? People You May Know can help you find friends on Facebook. Facebook features people as 'people you may know' through information on your profile like mutual friends, work or education information, networks, and so on.

An example is if both of you add the same college in your education, then you will both be shown on people you may know on each other's profile. Or maybe if both of you have a large number of mutual friends then Facebook guesses that you people may know each other. And so the recommendation follows. But it is you who controls whether to send a friend request or not. Facebook never sends a friend request on your behalf.

People You May Know suggestions come from things like:

• Having the same friends in common, or mutual friends. This is the most common reason for the suggestions.
• Being in the same Facebook group or being tagged on the same photo.
• Your networks like your school, university or work..
• Contacts you have uploaded.

To add someone as a friend from 'People You May Know', you could send them a friend request.

Learn what to do if you are seeing suggestions for people you do not know below;

I'm seeing people I don't know suggested as People You May Know.

Facebook constantly updates 'People You May Know' to provide better suggestions. However, sometimes they might get it wrong and recommend someone who you do not know or do not want to add as a friend. Most of the friend suggestions are based on having friends in common. If you see a suggestion for you with no mutual friends, remember that some people have their friends list set to private. This means that some suggestions who are friends of friends may not show the friends that you have in common.

Remove a suggestion

If you see people you do not want to be friends with, click on 'Remove' beside their name. Removing unhelpful suggestions helps Facebook give you better People You May Know suggestions.

N/B: If you do not want to show up in another person's 'People You May Know' suggestions, you can block them. Blocking a user also permanently hides them from your 'People You May Know' suggestions.

Where can I see People You May Know?

To find People You May Know, navigate to the Find Friends page.

You might also see suggestions of 'People You May Know' in your News Feed and notifications.

Join Facebook Create New Account

Facebook is one of the most recognizable social media in the world. It allows you to interact with millions of people all over the globe in addition to its other unique features.You must be at least 13 years old to create a Facebook account.

Basically, all you need in order to join Facebook is a valid e-mail address. Valid means that you need to be able to access the messages in that account easily because Facebook e-mails you a registration confirmation.

How to Sign Up on Facebook

• Go to www.facebook.com. When the page opens you will need to fill in the following;

• First and Last Name:

 Facebook is a community based on real identity. Sign up with the same name people know you by. Signing up with a fake name or alias is not recommended because it will make it hard for you to be found by friends. After you have signed up, you can then add nicknames or maiden names to your Timeline to make it even easier for friends to find you.

• Email: 

You need to enter your valid e-mail address. Facebook asks you to enter your e-mail twice to make sure that there are no typos or errors and that your e-mails will actually get to you.

• Password:

Using a combination of letters and numbers is a good idea for your Facebook password. It is not a good idea to use the same password for every site you join, so use something different for Facebook.

• Birthday:

Put in your date of birth. If you are shy about sharing your birthday, do not worry, You will be able to hide this information on your Timeline later.

• Gender (Female or Male): 

Facebook makes use of your gender information to construct sentences about you on the site especially in other languages.  it will be weird to see sentences like 'Jennifer added a photo of themselves', but If you want to hide your gender on your Timeline, you can do that after signing up.

• After filling out this information, click Sign Up (that is the big green button). Congratulations: You have officially joined Facebook.

N/B: When you click Sign Up, you’re agreeing to Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities and Privacy Policy.

Most websites have fairly similar terms and policies, but if you’re curious about just what Facebook’s  terms and policies are, you can always click on the Terms and Privacy links at the bottom of every Facebook page.

How Do I Save Photos From Instagram

A lot of users have uploaded millions and millions of photos to Instagram, making the app the world’s most popular photo sharing application. While you can “like” or bookmark/save a photo so you can revisit it later, you cannot download Instagram photos to your computer and/or device directly from Instagram the way you might by saving an image from a regular web page.

Instagram has now created a saving feature built directly in the application. Although it only lets you bookmark the photo or video post tab, not actually download it to your device, it's still better than nothing.

How To Use the New Save Tab on Instagram
The Save tab appears as a little bookmark icon on every user's profile directly above the photo feed in the horizontal menu. You can not see the save tab on other users' profiles, but you can see it on your own profile while signed in and This ensures that only you can see what you have saved.

To save any post on Instagram, look for the bookmark icon in the bottom right corner of the post and click on it. It will automatically be added to your save tab and the user who posted it will not get any notification. The photo has been saved, but if you want to organize your saved photos, tap the 'Save to Collections' pop up that comes up. Click on the plus icon to create your own collection.

To view, edit, or organize your saved Instagram photo, go to your profile and tap the bookmark icon. You can tap the plus icon to add new collections or move a saved photo to a new collection.

Take a Screenshot
This is the easiest unofficial way to quickly save a a copy of someone's else's Instagram photo. You can take a screenshot of the Instagram photo and then use a photo editing tool to crop it.

Third-Party Apps
If you research, you may find a third-party app that claims to help you to save or download Instagram photos. There is, however, no guarantee that these apps will work how you might expect it to, given that Instagram reviews all requests for API access and rejects anything that permits users to interact too heavily with the app, or anything that goes against their terms.

You might have a seriously frustrating time finding any type of third-party app that actually allows you to seamlessly download posts, and anything you actually do decide to download could be kind of shady deal for your privacy and/or security. It'll be much better to go with any of the other options presented above.

Facebook Lite on Android devices

Facebook Lite on Android devices: Facebook Lite a new version of Facebook built to be of very light weight and still contains all the basic features of the original Facebook app. Facebook Lite is designed for low/poor network areas, for increased data conservation and for older phones.

Facebook Lite has received some form of wide acceptance. It’s got all Facebook’s highlight features, uses fewer system resources and less data, and works on slower connections. The only downside is that it feels kind of basic. The trimmed down interface, large square buttons, and loading bar (yes, there’s a loading bar) kinda feels like something from the late 2000s. It doesn’t look all that different though.

How to Download Facebook Lite

Facebook Lite on iOS devices

• Tap the Search button at the bottom of the screen.
• Type in the word ‘Facebook Lite’ – a number of apps will be presented, Tap the 'get button, when you find the app developed by Facebook. 
• Tap ‘install’.Based on your security and privacy configurations, you may be asked to provide your Apple ID before your device lets you download.
• Once it is downloaded, there should be an ‘Open’ button to tap in the App Store to start Facebook Lite – or you can search and find the Facebook Lite icon in your apps and tap that.
• Once you have launched the app, you should be prompted to log in.

Facebook Lite on Android devices

• Open the Google Play Store on your device.
• Type ‘Facebook Lite’ in the search field. A list of apps will appear.
• Find the app developed by ‘Facebook Inc’ – which should be at or near the top of the list –and tap it. 
• Tap the ‘Install’ button. You may be asked to allow permission for 'Facebook Lite' to access various tools on your device. If you’re ok with these, tap ‘Accept’. Depending on your security and privacy settings, you may be asked to provide your Google account password before your device lets you download the app. You may also need to be connected to a WI-FI network to download.
• Once it has downloaded, tap the ‘Open’ button on the 'Facebook Lite' Google Store page. You can also find it on your home screen and tap to launch.
• Login using your Facebook account details.

 Follow any other on screen instructions to complete the installation process.

If you use  an older phone or want to save mobile data, there’s no harm in giving it a look. It’s only 2MB, and the worst case scenario is you switch back. It might also be exactly the Facebook app you’ve been looking for.
