Tips for keeping your nudes anonymous

trust the recipient

It is not difficult to find cases of people who met someone and, shortly after, are already exchanging nudes. Of course, trust is something that varies a lot from person to person, but there are signs that can avoid problems in the case of sending nudes.

The first one is always to be aware of a possible charge and manipulation of the person so that you start sending nudes as an obligation. Submitting personal photos should be taken just as seriously as sharing personal data. Remember that a “simple” leak can compromise not only your personal image, but also your professional life. Always keep your nudes safe from people you haven't known for a long time.

Disable automatic backups

A very clear way to allow photos to be uploaded to the cloud so you don't miss any important moments in case of a problem with hardware is the activation of backup automatic. However, if you have nudes saved on your internal storage and you have not chosen to use one of the security methods, it is worth disabling the backup automatic.

This can be done either in Google Photos how much in your iCloud and is usually not activated from the first use. But it's worth holding that conference on your smartphone so that, in case your email account is leaked, hackers have access to private photos and start blackmailing you.

Have a password on your smartphone

As much as your nudes are saved in a secure partition, it is essential that the “gateway” of your smartphone is also protected. In addition to a swipe pattern, it is worth opting to enable identity confirmation via fingerprint or even eye iris reading.

When using an application such as Safe paste da Samsung or Google Locked Folderand, as well as the functionality of Hide do iOS, always enable options that allow you to add a greater layer of security. If you opt for a PIN or password, it is also worth investing in a combination that is not so easy and can be easily discovered by hackers. Birth dates, names of relatives or even pets should be avoided at all times.

Don't show your face in the nudes

The intention of this post is to keep your nudes safe and away from strangers, but it's important to prevent yourself in case of a possible problem. With that in mind, whenever you are going to make your photo shoot a little special, avoid showing your face, tattoo or any other detail that is very characteristic of your body.

Another important detail is about the environment in which you will take the photos. If, for example, you post a lot of photos in the bathroom and let these details slip when sending nudes, you may have problems in the event of a leak. Of course, we hope your personal photos don't leak, but it's worth mentioning: if they do, no one needs to know that you own them.

Upload photos via encrypted platforms

O WhatsApp for example, it has end-to-end encryption and messages, photos and videos are only saved on smartphones, without sending them to the messaging application's servers until the user does so. Temporary messages can also be a safe way to send nudes, although the green messenger still allows screenshots to be taken in this mode.

Another interesting option is the Secret Chat do Telegram which allows a time schedule to be made and everything (conversations, photos, messages and videos) to be deleted from both smartphones used in the conversation. O Instagram also has a temporary mode, which deletes content as soon as you leave the chat and can be another interesting channel to exchange nudes.
