Though the name of this app is Jarvis, it is not as smart as Iron Man’s AI and can do only reminding work with simple commands.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2016/05/use-facebook-messenger-as-reminder-app-jarvis-chat-bot.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="HOW TO : Use Facebook Messenger as Reminder App" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFl3PN9Ibr-3NifbqiWWBkmkbS9FG9CWfAgRB2TEnxz-0vJNHe4NGsCoZ87FL8apEe5-JGAkW-vTW7Bw1pJPnmoklwsxT0rn0RzxPkxiG3Stmr1O7d-TmEl5GWopy3D9cBsZrC-rf9K6BK/s1600/Jarvis-Facebook-Chat-Bot.jpg" title="HOW TO : Use Facebook Messenger as Reminder App" /></a></div><br /> When you use Jarvis chat bot for the first time on Facebook Messenger, it will ask you from which city you are to know your timezone and location. Once you tell Jarvis you city, it will tell you the current time in your timezone to confirm it. Though these are the only simple settings in this tool, they are required to remind you at the correct time exactly.<br /> <br /> Once the city and timezone setup is done, you can set reminder by sending simple commands as text message to Jarvis like “Remind me to walk the dog in 5 minutes”. Once received, Jarvis will reply back repeating the command and time that he understood it correctly and will remind you with a short message regarding the task you asked for.<br /> <br /> To<b> use Jarvis chat bot on Facebook Messenger</b>, just go to <i>hellojarvis.io</i> and start using it from there. You can also search for Hello Jarvis on Facebook Messenger’s web version or on <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/search/label/Android" target="_blank">Android </a>and <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/search/label/iPhone" target="_blank">iOS applications</a>.<br /> <br /> The only drawback is that there is no option to cancel a single reminder you have set and you need to use the “Delete all reminders” option to cancel them.<br /> <br /> <br />

Due to this the battery being consumed to perform that tasks is saved. Also, the browser loads just a small part of the Facebook feed instead of loading all of the content together.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "ca-pub-2914712351119115"; /* Geeky Stuff - Inside Post */ google_ad_slot = "7722022186"; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280; //--> </script><br /> <script type="text/javascript" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script></div>Though we are talking about the Facebook here, same goes with the most of social media app as they run in the background to keep you latest update and the content on them are usually big in size with pictures, videos and GIFs.

We all know that how <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2011/08/how-facebook-affects-relationships.html" target="_blank">social media affects our real life relationships</a>. There are also many stories where people broke up over social media simply by changing their status to Single or by tweeting to their partner that they are no more together.<br /> <br /> Other than this, accessing social media after breaking up can be a bit depressing if you were connected with your ex on it. You will find the images, posts, check-ins etc. on your social media profile and it can cause you negative emotions for sure.<br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2015/11/facebooks-breakup-management-feature.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Facebook's New "Breakup Management Feature"" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD2NNw-i47y5pcNNnCIdv8SgEY9jWljWw87cPZsdGyzvcNTETxfqqux_pT_jU4yRux7VfrEkif2eJw17q3M3-jQrqGkOf-jnx-CYiHqxVUb46OXIb0AGa8Acmdpj6ApcHn0MoFCAkEAtbI/s1600/Facebook-BREAK-UP-MANAGEMENT-FEATURE.jpg" title="Facebook's New "Breakup Management Feature"" /></a></div> <br /> And just because of this Facebook is coming out with a new feature which will help you in balancing yourself after a break up, well at least on Facebook.<br /> <br /> This new Facebook feature that is available only on mobile and in the United States currently, comes into play when someone changes their<a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2013/04/find-facebook-relationship-status.html" target="_blank"> relationship status on Facebook</a>. In that scenario, users will be asked whether or not they want to see less posts of their ex on Facebook.<br /> <br /> It is a pretty good way to reduce the amount of posts of your ex you see and will help you in thinking less about them. It also important to know that you don’t need to take a drastic step like un-friending your ex to use this feature. So without making things worse, you can start getting healed.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2015/11/facebooks-breakup-management-feature.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Facebook's New "Breakup Management Feature"" border="0" src="http://cdn.redmondpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/InPhone_Limit.jpg" title="Facebook's New "Breakup Management Feature"" /></a></div> <br /> Users will also be able to hide the content they are posting like status, images etc from their ex. An ex will not be able to see any post until they are tagged specifically in a post. Other than this, Facebook will also provide the option to delete all the history of your ex from your profile by removing all the tags from any of your images, status and videos together.<br /> <br /> Even though the main purpose of social media is to connect people, sometimes it is necessary to go exactly opposite of it. And due to this, Facebook is offering this new feature which can be really useful for the Love Birds.

HOW TO : Stop Auto-Play Facebook Videos

Facebook love to make changes and add or remove features for its website. Some of those features are welcomed and some are not. One of the feature Facebook recently included is of the auto-playing the videos on the timeline. This feature is enabled on the Facebook website and on the Android and iOS apps well.<br /> <br /> This is one of the feature I personally do not like as it is very annoying that while you going through your Facebook News Feed and suddenly a video comes on the screen and starts playing by itself. One more reason to not like this feature is that if you are on a limited broadband plan or mobile Internet plan then it will consume your bandwidth.<br /> <br /> Fortunately, Facebook have also added the option to stop the auto-play of the videos but like silently and without informing the users. The settings for each system is different that means you need to stop the auto-play of Facebook videos individually on Facebook website and mobile apps.

So, you can see all of your male or female Facebook friends.<br /> <br /> Tip : It is best to separate all your real life friends or the friends you know that they are real by clicking on the “I know he/she is real” link first.<br /> <br /> 4. Now, click on the “Let’s Check Him/Her” button shown with the profile of your Facebook friend to examine their profile . Fake Off will now start evaluating your friend’s profile based on Fake Off’s smart algorithm.<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script><br /> <!-- Geeky Stuff - Responsive --><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-2914712351119115" data-ad-slot="1419856188" data-ad-format="auto"></ins><br /> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script>5.

You can either answer them to get the more accurate result or you can just skip them and rely totally on the algorithm of Fake Off.<br /> <br /> 6. After the final evaluation, Fake Off will show the ranking of your friend between 1 to 10 where 1 is the most dangerous and 10 is the safest ranking for a Facebook profile.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2014/08/find-fake-facebook-profiles.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="HOW TO Find Fake Facebook Profiles Connected with Your Account" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLQOZetr5EvCKPB8-UBv9zQFm3XucTn22NDxWC9jXwjULzWlpNdhibRXvFLoYjo2iyNUQOdZCF84-GlZ85thANfF2-WB-vgWRr6fjKotLzPUnig1E-Dwwijw5YTGbQCxK9bw6uvm1ed0o7/s1600/HOW+TO++Find+Fake+Facebook+Profiles+Connected+with+Your+Account.png" title="HOW TO Find Fake Facebook Profiles Connected with Your Account" /></a></div><br /> Fake Off algorithm includes the last ten days activity of a profile in its test. It considers the amount of response a profile’s posts are getting, whether the profile uses mobile device to use Facebook etc factors.<br /> <br /> You can subscribe to its premium service if you want Fake Off to consider the Facebook activity data of one year in its test. Fake Off also let you compare the Facebook pictures of your friends to confirm whether they are their own pictures or they are using pictures of somebody else in their profile.<br /> <br /> The only drawback of this Fake Off Facebook app is that its algorithm is totally based on the behavior of your <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2011/04/10-types-of-facebook-friends-from.html" target="_blank">Facebook friend’s activity on Facebook</a>. So if any of your friend is not active on Facebook since a long time, though they are real or you know them personally, they can get low ranking in the test.

HOW TO : Use the Facebook Save to Read the Links, Pages and Places Later

<a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2014/04/all-facebook-image-size-dimensions-timeline.html" target="_blank">Facebook News Feed </a>is always so messed up for most of the users. It shows the stories based on the various algorithm depending on the interaction of you with your Facebook friends, Pages and interest etc. Also, the changes in "Top Stories" and "Most Recent" plays it part as well in messing up all the updates coming on your News Feed.<br /> <br /> Due to this sometimes you miss some important updates from your friends while few updates linger on your News Feed for hours and keep coming back again and again. This makes kind of hard to find an update later in your News Feed. Earlier the only solution for this problem was to either bookmark the link of that particular post or by visiting your friend's profile to check the update again.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2014/08/save-facebook-links-for-later.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="HOW TO : Use the Facebook Save to Read the Links, Pages and Places Later" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsxNYz2yV7EQRr05g_VlDBhRjqCji680M8HpYU4lKcCzH_PAzjcXB_SUReImUid0HQOBYzvu5cVoq5IiaRbhPZhyphenhyphen4Ft5bqpTm4v9NGvijbTxtcJyhGa4hCyHbi6OX2_6HFH0fPJ4ZHngPk/s1600/Save+Links,+Pages,+Music+on+Facebook+for+Later+Use.jpg" title="HOW TO : Use the Facebook Save to Read the Links, Pages and Places Later" /></a></div><br /> But now Facebook is out with a useful "Read Later" called <b>Facebook Save feature which let you save Facebook updates to check them later</b> when you want. Facebook Save or the "Read Later" feature supports any web link shared on Facebook, Pages, Places, movies, TV shows, books, Events and music. Unfortunately, it does not support the saving of text status, images and video right now.<br /> <br /> Facebook Save is available on Facebook web and also on the official <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2012/10/facebook-mobile-problems.html" target="_blank">Facebook Mobile app</a>.
