Hi, I'm a 16 year old girl. I have a request for you, if you can explain a situation to me. I recently wrote to my friend on WhatsApp, whom we met on the Internet. He is of Dutch origin, but has lived in Sofia for a year. So I asked him how he was always sure that the person he wrote to before we met live was me, not some 50-year-old man with a fake profile, for example. (We met via Facebook). And he started to explain to me that he could very quickly find out which profile was fake and which was not. He could understand a person's real name, his address, even his bank account. And he asked me, "Don't you believe me" And I accordingly replied that I did not believe him. Then he sent me a link that said he was suspicious, I thought it was something to do with YouTube because he was writing yoütu. be. And did I sweat it, is this YouTube? And he said, "Yeah, it's a video, just open it and send a screenshot, I was naturally skeptical, but he insisted. He promised me that it wasn't a bad thing, just a Facebook page (and first he said it was a video ... Anyway, I clicked and my Facebook profile automatically opened, I sent him a screenshot and after a few seconds he sent me a screenshot with my IP address. And that, really, was my IP address, with the location I asked him if, once he saw my IP, he could see my messages in Messenger, for example, and he replied that he could, but not through this link, this link was just to prove to me that he could track the location. He didn't want to look at my messages either, but I was paranoid that he had access to my phone all the time, I don't know what to do, he is annoyed that I don't trust him. So my question is, can you really see all of a person's apps, chats, and Google searches through an IP address, for example?

Many things can happen. The better question is - with what mind do you open pages that are obviously fake. On top of that, your "friend" lied to you that it was YouTube. Stop trusting the personal information of various people, and even less to open stupid sites that not only some pishman hacker from the Netherlands will hack you, just see something really bad happened to me. Now march to clear your phone and change your passwords. And in the meantime, you can tactfully break up with your "friend", because obviously whatever trust you gave him was in vain. And with a person you can't trust - a yok relationship.
