not sure uh if Snapchat or if Tick Tock not sure uh if Snapchat or if Tick Tock have this available again you can have this available again you can have this available again you can probably Google it and find out but you probably Google it and find out but you probably Google it and find out but you can actually go into your settings for can actually go into your settings for can actually go into your settings for those social accounts that I just those social accounts that I just those social accounts that I just mentioned there's a specific link that mentioned there's a specific link that mentioned there's a specific link that I'll provide for you and when you click I'll provide for you and when you click I'll provide for you and when you click it it'll actually show all of the apps it it'll actually show all of the apps it it'll actually show all of the apps that have access to your social media that have access to your social media that have access to your social media accounts and what I discovered when I accounts and what I discovered when I accounts and what I discovered when I went through this exercise is that I had went through this exercise is that I had went through this exercise is that I had like apps that I'd installed like three like apps that I'd installed like three like apps that I'd installed like three or four phones ago that still had access or four phones ago that still had access or four phones ago that still had access to these social media accounts to these social media accounts to these social media accounts um and that to me just looks like um um and that to me just looks like um um and that to me just looks like um that looks like a bad situation waiting that looks like a bad situation waiting that looks like a bad situation waiting to happen right I don't have those to happen right I don't have those to happen right I don't have those phones anymore there's apps on those phones anymore there's apps on those phones anymore there's apps on those phones I mean who knows where the phone phones I mean who knows where the phone phones I mean who knows where the phone is long gone by now um but I don't even is long gone by now um but I don't even is long gone by now um but I don't even really even remember what some of those really even remember what some of those really even remember what some of those apps were and that's the part that was apps were and that's the part that was apps were and that's the part that was really remarkable to me I had installed really remarkable to me I had installed really remarkable to me I had installed an app for like maybe five minutes and an app for like maybe five minutes and an app for like maybe five minutes and tried it out and just never uninstalled tried it out and just never uninstalled tried it out and just never uninstalled it but when it installed it had access it but when it installed it had access it but when it installed it had access to all of my social accounts or some of to all of my social accounts or some of to all of my social accounts or some of my social accounts so I thought that my social accounts so I thought that my social accounts so I thought that that was um something worth mentioning that was um something worth mentioning that was um something worth mentioning here and again look in the show notes of here and again look in the show notes of here and again look in the show notes of this podcast episode and you will see a this podcast episode and you will see a this podcast episode and you will see a link to each of those platforms you can link to each of those platforms you can link to each of those platforms you can click on it and it'll show you what apps click on it and it'll show you what apps click on it and it'll show you what apps have access to your social accounts and have access to your social accounts and have access to your social accounts and keep it to a minimum if that app doesn't keep it to a minimum if that app doesn't keep it to a minimum if that app doesn't absolutely need access to your Social absolutely need access to your Social absolutely need access to your Social account then revoke it remove it again account then revoke it remove it again account then revoke it remove it again it's one less window of opportunity for it's one less window of opportunity for it's one less window of opportunity for a bad actor to get access to your a bad actor to get access to your a bad actor to get access to your personal account which will ultimately personal account which will ultimately personal account which will ultimately give them access to your church account give them access to your church account give them access to your church account okay so quick review
