Sharing your personal photos and videos with the public online, is not considered a wise thing to do. Especially when the people on your friend-list on Facebook are unknown to you and fall from all over the world. Considering security problems, you can now encrypt photos on Facebook and Twitter using smart apps. Since large number of companies are relying on Facebook campaigning, it’s important to use good Facebook marketing and security standards to reach a larger audience. These are the best known apps to encrypt photos on Facebook and Twitter:
1. Secret.li : Like its tag-line says, “Privacy Made Easy” the app rightly functions the same way.“Publishing is so easy, but privacy so obscure.” Says Deepak Tiwari who is the co-founder of Secret.li.
- Take pictures or select an already existing image from your phone, tablet, or other devices.
- Choose a safety filter of the app and chose a period of time the photo will be displayed.
- Post the photos on Facebook or Twitter.
Without a safety filter, only the friends you have selected can see your photo on Facebook. After a few hours, according to the time you’ve set, the photo will be automatically removed.
2. Script: This is another helpful app, but it is not as good and popular as Secret.li. However, as there are of millions of twitter users on twitter and there are lesser privacy options on twitter, people are opting for this app for privacy. It is a web app and was released in 2013, for Twitter.
- It lets you secure your tweets.
- Lets you add hashtags to your tweets so that your tweets are auto deleted in some time.
- You will add hashtags like, #10m# and that will mean your tweets will be deleted after 10 minutes. Same goes for #30m#. And, for ‘days’ you can use #10d# which will delete your tweets in 10 days.
- Your tweets can include texts, photos and videos. They will all be deleted according to the hashtag details.
3. Facebook Poke: Using the Facebook Poke app, you can send pokes, messages, photos and videos to your friends.
- You can use this app on your iPhone and Android.
- The app however, is being regarded as a head scratcher, an app that got a thumbs down soon as its launch, etc.
- You can send your messages, videos, etc., to your friends and decide how long they can view these.
When it’s a social networking site like Facebook, privacy setting matter a lot. Same goes for blogs and micro-blogging sites like Twitter. Among all these the best known app is Secret.li. It keeps you and your image privately only for them who you can trust. It is basically an iPhone app and it lets you securely share photos. Like Facebook Poke, after a few hours it deletes those photos. This can be for hours, days and even weeks. It depends upon how you set it before publishing it. No other app is yet known to work as well as Secret.li. Facebook Poke and Script come come second in the count.
