Did we suddenly get too many contact requests? Care should be taken to check this setting after immigration-winandmac.com

A few weeks ago, some people were tempted to leave Facebook and move to Gab.com, but others said there are actually a lot of social networks like MeWe or Parler. Gab.com itself has problems, we have analyzed it previously (paid content) and the most important thing is that it is not provided by the mobile apps and there are not many people passing through it.

A few days ago, many Hong Kong people suddenly switched to MeWe and this caused a big trend. MeWe is relatively similar to Facebook, with all mobile apps, it is more convenient to browse different content at any time. And it won’t be as if Gab.com actively asks your account to monitor others. The overall interface makes users happier. Although it was originally used by the right, MeWe is relatively less radical than right wing or inappropriate content.

However, after opening a new MeWe account, many people suddenly received a large number of contact request invitations even though they didn’t open the invitation and the names of the people added were unclear which was creepy. If the user does not wish to receive similar invitations, after opening an account, click on the Other tab and click on the settings in the top left to select Privacy and sharing. You can deselect the first item in MeWe Search, which can prevent others from finding it so easily you. However, users can still allow their friends to join MeWe via QR Code or link.

In addition, the contact request can also be set on the left side of the figure below, and only people related to the contact can send contact invitations to themselves. As for the other options, if you feel you need privacy, you can also follow the settings to the left of the image below.

Also, on the settings page, you can also select Contacts, uncheck the first entry to avoid uploading your address book to MeWe, and the second entry will completely stop the synchronization of the address book. In this way, privacy can be further improved. However, it is worth remembering that no matter which social network you use, even if you only select individuals on the internet, you will have the option to log out. Therefore, when posting something online, be careful and think clearly.
