The newest TikTok trend is not a dance or a song, it is deleting the TikTok application. In early 2023 Canadian Government Officials were told to delete TikTok off of all of their devices and keep it that way. But Why? When you download TikTok onto your device you have to accept The Terms of Service and The Privacy Policy like most other applications. By touching “Accept” you are agreeing that TikTok can now access things like your watching habits, phone usage and scrolling habits. They also might be able to access much bigger things like your calendar, contacts, location and what type of device you are using. Some privacy experts are worried that the data TikTok collects about you may be shared to anyone that the company wants, raising suspicion for many people in the government or military. TikTok is owned by a much larger company called “ByteDance” which is based out of Beijing, China. The Canadian government has not been very clear about what the exact concerns are but some say that it’s the fact that the company is based in China. On February, 28th the Canadian Government met with the European Union and the United States Senate in banning TikTok from all government issued devices. These concerns are starting to convince a lot of people that they should delete TikTok off of their phones and devices too. Should You? Thank you for reading the EP TekTok blog!

Apple iOS stands for Internet Operating System. Apple iOS is a mobile device operating system that was created and patented by Apple Inc. The first available device with iOS Software was seen in 2007 with the iPhone (first generation). The iOS app store was officially opened in July 2008 with at least 500 downloadable applications. iOS powers most of Apple’s technology from the iPhone to the Mac computer. In 2011 the iPad (first generation) was introduced to the public. This was the first tablet with iOS software. Currently in 2023 there are 16 different versions of the operating systems on mobile phones, tablets, laptops and The Apple Computer. After Apple developed iOS and sold devices with the software on it, Apple developed their own version of many programs. These new applications included FaceTime, Apple Calendar, Apple Weather, Apple Notes, Apple Reminders and the iPhone Calculator. Now apple is using macOS on their computers and laptops known as The Mac. iOS has a lot of history and so does the company Apple itself!

Welcome back to the EP TekTok blog! Today we are looking at an insane and super easy trick to keep your phone lasting possibly twice as long!! Some popular phone companies use something that some people call a “Kill Switch”. What the kill switch does is when your phone reaches a certain age, the next software update will contain some sort of Malware to shut down your phone so you can’t turn it back on. This is used to keep people buying phones from the company and thinking that there old phone is “Broken”. The simple fix to this kill switch is to NOT UPDATE YOUR PHONE AFTER ABOUT 5 years of purchase. This may not be as convenient because some applications require the newest software to operate. This tip can possibly keep your phone lasting twice as long! Thank you for reading the EP TekTok blog! A new post will be released soon!
