5 Social Media Tricks Most People Don’t Know About 

Social media is fun, right? We scroll, like, comment, and share all day. But did you know there are secret tricks hidden in your favorite apps? These little hacks can save time, keep things private, and even help you stand out. Let’s explore 5 social media tricks most people aren’t aware of – in simple words!

1. Hide Your Instagram Stories from Specific People

Ever wanted to post a story but not let certain people see it? Instagram lets you do that!



How:

  • Go to Settings > Privacy > Story > Hide story from.

  • Pick the people you don’t want to see your story.

💡 Great for posting freely without worrying who’s watching!

2. Turn Off “Seen” on Facebook Messenger (Secret Reading!)

Sometimes, you want to read a message without the sender knowing. Sneaky, but useful!



How:

  • Put your phone on Airplane Mode.

  • Open the message on Messenger.

  • Close the app completely before turning airplane mode off.

💬 Now you’ve seen the message, but it still looks “unread” to them!

3. Search Tweets by Date and Keyword

Twitter (now called X) is full of old gems. Want to find something specific from the past?



How:

In the Twitter search bar, type:

keyword since:2022-01-01 until:2022-12-31

Example:
iPhone review since:2023-01-01 until:2023-03-01

📅 Boom! Now you’re only seeing tweets from that time range.

4. Save TikToks Without the Watermark

Want to share your TikTok on Instagram without that big logo?



How:

  • Copy the TikTok video link.

  • Go to a TikTok downloader website (search “TikTok downloader no watermark”).

  • Paste the link and download.

🎬 Now your video looks cleaner when reposted elsewhere.

5. See All the Posts You've Liked on Instagram

Ever liked something but couldn’t find it again? Instagram remembers for you!


How:

  • Go to your Profile > Menu (☰) > Your activity > Likes.

🔍 You’ll see every post you’ve ever liked. Super handy!

Final Thoughts

Social media has a lot of cool tools hidden behind menus and settings. Try these tricks out and see how they make your life easier (or at least more fun!). Know any other hidden features? Share them in the comments!

5 Fascinating Facts You’ve Probably Never Heard Before In a world bursting with information, it’s easy to assume that everything worth knowing has already been discovered. But sometimes, the most astonishing truths lie just beneath the surface, waiting to be uncovered. Whether you're a trivia junkie or just love to surprise your friends, these five lesser-known facts will both educate and entertain. 1. Bananas Are (Technically) Radioactive Yes, you read that right. Bananas, the world’s most popular fruit, are slightly radioactive. This is because they contain potassium-40 , a naturally occurring isotope of potassium that emits beta radiation. While this might sound alarming, there’s no need to ditch your morning smoothie. The amount of radiation in a banana is minuscule and completely harmless. In fact, scientists jokingly refer to the "banana equivalent dose" (BED) to explain levels of radiation exposure in everyday terms. To put it into perspective, you'd hav...

Are We Controlling Social Media – Or Is It Controlling Us? Social media started with a promise: to connect us. To shrink the world, to give everyone a voice, and to build communities beyond borders. And for a while, it did exactly that. But now, nearly two decades after the rise of Facebook and Twitter (now X), the relationship between humans and social media has taken a turn — one that raises an uncomfortable question: Are we still in control of social media, or has it taken control of us? Let’s explore the reality behind our scrolling habits, algorithmic influence, and the fine line between connection and manipulation. The Numbers Don’t Lie: We’re Addicted According to a 2024 report by DataReportal, the average person spends 2 hours and 31 minutes per day on social media. That’s nearly 17.5 hours a week , or 38 days a year — over a month of our lives spent scrolling, liking, sharing, and watching. But it’s not just the time. It’s the mental energy we pour into it. Notific...

💥 10 Tech Facts That Will Blow Your Mind Technology is evolving at a breakneck pace, and sometimes reality is stranger (and cooler) than science fiction. Whether you're a casual browser or a hardcore tech enthusiast, these 10 mind-blowing tech facts will make you look at the world a little differently. 1. Your Smartphone Has More Computing Power Than NASA Had in 1969 The iPhone in your pocket? It’s millions of times more powerful than the computers that guided Apollo 11 to the moon. NASA used a computer with just 64KB of memory to land humans on the lunar surface. Your phone has over 100,000 times more memory than that. 2. The First Alarm Clock Could Only Ring at One Time Invented by Levi Hutchins in 1787, the first alarm clock could only ring at 4 a.m. Imagine needing a separate clock for each wake-up time. Talk about a rigid schedule! 3. There Are More Transistors in a Smartphone Than People on Earth A modern processor (like Apple’s A17 or Intel's Core chips) can have ten...
