What not to tell while video chat?
If you are talking to someone through a video call, do not make the atmosphere uncomfortable. Also, if someone asks you any specific information during the video call (home address, full name, Aadhaar number, passport number, photo of government identity card, bank account details), do not tell.
What not to do during the video call?
Also, if you are making a video call with your girlfriend or wife, do not create intimate scenes. Anyway, it is enough to see each other on a video call and not to go ahead. So avoid misusing it.
Also, do not ask for nude videos or photos from your partner.

Don't do it even if you are a boy
Many boys feel that they are not in danger. That is why they do not even think about it. In such a situation, many boys share their nude photos and videos. After this, they also have to fall prey to blackmail.
So don't share such things especially with a stranger.
Is there a risk of hacking even with a secure app?
Even big companies like Google, Microsoft are not safe from hackers. Therefore it is necessary to keep yourself alert.No matter how secure the app is, protect yourself from the trap of negligence. So it is better to trust yourself than to trust an app. Do not do anything that threatens anything.
