All photos and videos sent via Snapchat self-destructs automatically within 1 to 10 seconds, depending on the sender's choice. While that's essentially a good thing for privacy purposes, minors all over the world has been found to use this feature for swapping nudes and other images of sexual nature. As a parent, that's a very alarming thought to have, especially since it's virtually impossible to find out what your children are up to because of the self-destruct feature. "Virtually impossible" being the keyword, the good news for parents is that it is actually possible to use any of the top Snapchat spy software to monitor the activities of your children on the social networking platform, without them ever finding out about it.

How Does It Work?

The Cocoscopy cell phone tracker will need to be downloaded onto the target phone first, but once the download is complete and everything is set up, your child will have no idea that the app exists because it doesn't leave any trace behind, making it completely invisible to everyone else. The spy app will also have a client on the parent's phone which will simply mirror everything that's going on there in the target phone, enabling the parents to keep an eye on everything that their children are doing via social media, email, text messaging or even voice and video calls.

Is It Legal?

As long as the target phone belongs to a minor and it's the guardians who are installing the Android spy app online, it is legal. Using it on adults without their permission though, is most certainly illegal, except when the adults are employees under contract and the phones in question, were provided by the employer. The potential for unethical use of these spy apps is certainly there, but the potential of vulnerable teens making disastrous mistakes on Snapchat are much greater

If you are wondering why there isn't a year mentioned within brackets like the rest of the smartphone models in the Galaxy J-series, then that's because there never was another version of the Galaxy J6 released before May, 2018. As of a few hours ago, firmware version J600FNXXU3ARH1 went live in certain sections of Europe (Italy in particular) and although it will take a few days till everyone has the update waiting for them via OTA, rest assured that it will come to you if you are in Europe. If you live in some other region where the Galaxy J6 is sold officially, then you might have to wait a little longer, but even that should not take too long, now that the firmware is truly out and about.

Aside from addressing multiple bugs and vulnerabilities in the base Android OS, the August security update from Google and Samsung also fixes 4 critical vulnerabilities and 11 Samsung related bugs respectively. If you see the update waiting on your smartphone, it's better to download and install it as soon as possible since this one seems to be addressing quite a few credible security threats.

If you have been following the smartphone news for the last few years, then you probably already know that a Samsung foldable smartphone has been in development for years now. However, after years of false rumors and promises, it looks like 2019 is finally going to be the year in which the elusive device from Samsung will at last be launched. The latest rumor suggests that the smartphone will be unveiled at the CES 2019 and we have some images that might just catch your attention because they do look gorgeous.

As per the latest images and rumors, the Galaxy X could also be called Galaxy F, aka Foldable. While the denomination is unimportant, what is more important is the fact that the smartphone seems to be in-line with previous rumors that suggested it would resemble a wallet when folded. In-between the completely folded in and the completely folded out positions, there is even a third intermediary position. Whether these renders hold any credence to them or not is something that we will just have to wait a few more months to find out.
