    Apple keeps it simple—Settings > Passwords. That’s the only spot. You can copy logins, delete old ones, or check security suggestions. If you’re in Keychain, it’s all synced across devices, so once saved, you’re basically set for life unless you change them.

    Vanish Mode lets you send disappearing messages in Instagram or Messenger. Once both users leave the chat, everything is gone. It’s not secret, though—the other person will know you’ve activated it.

    Half swiping is basically dead after the newer updates. It was sliding right halfway to peek, but Snapchat patched it. Your best bet is notifications or turning on banner previews instead of trying the old swipe trick.

    Hi! This happens more often than you’d think, so you’re not alone. On iPhone, there are a couple of ways apps get “hidden.” The most common is when you remove it from your Home Screen—it doesn’t uninstall but only moves to the App Library. To get it back, swipe all the way left to the App Library, find the app, press and hold its icon, then tap “Add to Home Screen.” Done. If you used Screen Time restrictions (Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps), you’ll need to go back into Settings, disable restrictions for that specific app, and it’ll reappear. Sometimes people accidentally hide entire Home Screen pages—press and hold on the Home Screen, tap the dots at the bottom, and re-enable the hidden page. If none of that works, you can always reinstall from the App Store (won’t delete your data). Usually it’s just the App Library trick, though.

    Hey, I’ve been through this exact situation while trying to declutter my Instagram. Unfortunately, Instagram doesn’t give us a neat “not following back” list like Twitter does. The built-in tools are limited—you can only see your “Following” and “Followers” lists separately. If you want to do it within the app, the only way is to open your “Following” list and check each profile. If the button says Follow Back, it means they follow you; if it just says Following, they don’t. It’s a little time-consuming, but it’s safe.

    Now, about apps—yes, there are plenty of “unfollower trackers.” Some work okay, but most are sketchy and require you to give them your login info, which is a huge security risk. Instagram itself discourages using them, and accounts have been locked for it.

    So the safe approach? Do it manually or just focus on people who engage with you. Quality > numbers.

    Instagram doesn’t give normal accounts live chat. Only business/creator accounts sometimes see it in the Meta Help Center. Everyone else has to submit forms or report issues through the app’s Help section.

    Open Settings, tap Phone, then scroll to Blocked Contacts. That list shows everyone you’ve blocked. It’s unified, so even if you blocked someone from Messages or FaceTime, they’ll show up there. You can tap Edit to unblock anyone easily.
