These Apps are listening to you secretly for tracking your TV viewing pattern

New York Times recently reported that, apps operating on the software of the company ‘Alphonso’ used your smartphone’s mic to record what you’re watching on your phones. Your smartphone stalking your is probably the last thing you might want to know. Business has become a very filthy way to people’s privacy. Though the fact is having a social media account itself is the end of your privacy. Whom are we kidding?

Did you ever notice, you talk to your friend about an ad and it suddenly pop’s up everywhere you go? Because that data is connected you to those ads by stalking you. Scary, isn’t it? Gaming apps like Pool 3D, Beer Pong: Trickshot and Real Bowling Strike 10 Pin, Honey Quest to name a few are some of the apps which keeps track of your viewing habits once downloaded. According to New York Times, approximately 250 games using Alphonso’s software were found in Google Play and few of them in App Store. Many of which were targeted to children, the apps continued tracking internet surfing patterns even when the games were not played.

Apptopia, a mobile app intelligence which also analyzes the accurate app store downloads, noticed the applications using their software has come down to 106 in Google Play Store and 24 on the App Store, except the paid games and apps which require IOS 11.

Alphonso is a TV data gathering company for advertisers and brands who want to make more out of marketing which basically includes every brand! Every brand wants to be the best. The Alphonso based app softwares, can recognise what the user is watching by gathering the audio signals for TV Ads and programs on through one’s smart phone. Adding to it, the phone’s mics are also used to record the users surroundings. To which, these apps often try matching people with the information to the places they visit or the movies that they watch. This data is then applied to the target audience according to their preferences to be more accurate.

Facebook spying on your conversations is a well convinced theory by everyone. This was actually proven by one of the users who performed an experiment were he has a two-day conversation only about Kit-Kat after which he saw a series of Kit-Kat ads in his profile. Well, you might feel a bit relaxed to know that Alphonso dont actually listens your call-conversations just minds its own business by tracking your viewing pattern and sells your data to advertising. Made any difference? It still feels violating!

You still have an option to keep it clear. Say No to the apps which ask for permission to access your microphone when not required. Also, to your phone gallery for such cases. Game apps have nothing to do with your pictures right? Similarly, know the app thoroughly before downloading it and know its use, remember if you think the app is suspicious you can download a different app. Play Store and App Store are filled with good functioning features which does not require a permit to enter your private world.

 

How to disable Google Instant on different browsers

Google Instant no doubt is a helping hand allowing us to be a bit lazier, and give our hands some rest. This feature was introduced by Google in 2010. Thank Marissa Mayer, who made it a default feature helping you to lay your hands off the keyboard giving it some beauty revival. To disable google instant is not easy for the same reason mentioned above.

However, in situations of slow internet connections, you might want to make use of your hands a bit more to avoid those extra kbps used by Google Instant. Before the secrets are revealed, one must be clear it is “The Technology Giant Google” so the changes occurred may not be permanent and may help you fix the issue for time being. Anyway, I don’t see a reason one would want to fix this permanently, Da-ah!

Also read: How Big Is Google? Quick overview on Google’s Products, Services and Servers

Let’s hop-into the non-official methods that might be helpful for you to disable Google Instant:

  • Google Suggest:

Disabling Google Suggest is a bit off the track since Google has not provided us with this option, because it’s an option! It is a rule, it’s the default!

All you need is to be a bit patient, put some efforts, and try these options:

 Browser Homepage:

You can save your data by changing your default homepage of the browser to the websites which have google suggest disables:

  1. http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=0  –  complete=0 is a URL parameter which will not give you any suggested search options in the dropbox. Yup! No poking nose Google!
  2. http://www.google.com/m – this google search engine site will allow you to search and do your projects, researches, or work without any suggestion on your phone.
  3. https://encrypted.google.com/ – SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is used by this google search providing you with no Google Instant feature and still gives you the option to disable suggestions separately.

2. Firefox Users:

? AdBlock Plus gives you the option to block the following extensions from the directory:

http://www.google.com/extern_js/

As mentioned before about the features of this software, you might want to consider installing it.

? Blacklisting Google by installing YesScript or NoScript addon might as well help you but remember, this will lead to disabling JavaScript throughout the site.

? Greasemonkey Script is another alternative you can install

Follow the steps after installing it:

Navigate Tools > Greasemonkey > Manage User Scripts,

Select the script in the list ( Script have to be modified to work according to the local google version)

Click “Add” and use the Google URL you use, for example, http://www.google.com/*

3. Google Chrome:

Google chrome is a bit more complex. Though the extension NotScripts allows users to get rid of the Google Suggest. Though the tests were positive with this extension for the time being I’m not sure about its limitations.

  1. Google Instant:

This another way to disable google instant without having to disable Google Suggest.

1. Firefox:

Firefox has provided with an add-on called Fastest Search which provides you with google instant in the first which you can disable in its options. It works well. But there might be chances that it may reappear as I mentioned before.

2. Google Chrome:

There’s no such way of disabling Google Instant from chrome because I couldn’t find a lot of options to do that. Though if you really want to get rid of this feature you may try the above-mentioned way, which may help your way through for some time. Though there’s no guarantee that will disappear permanently.

  1. Google Instant Preview:

Previously, I promised that AdBlock Plus does multitasking and is free for Androids and IOS. Adding one more feature to it, AdBlock Plus also disables Google Instant Preview. By adding the following filters to your addon’s  preference you can activate this feature:

google.com##.vspi

google.com##.vspib

google.com###vspb   

Greasemonkey Script also helps you to disable the Google Instant preview though it’ll continue having a magnifying glass which may not work.
