Working from home? Don’t be big brothered by your tech

Working from home has its perks, but feeling like you’re being listened to by your devices isn’t one of them. Here’s a quick tip to keep your conversations private:

Turn off those digital assistants! We’re talking Siri, Alexa, Cortana – the whole crew.

These helpful AI buddies are always listening, waiting for your voice commands. But while they’re great for setting reminders or playing music, you might not want them catching all your work calls or confidential chats.

The good news? Disabling them is super easy. Just head over to your device’s settings and find the option to turn off the virtual assistant function. Boom, problem solved!

Bonus Tip: Keep an eye on other apps with recording functions. Some video conferencing tools or language learning apps might have recording capabilities. Make sure you understand their privacy settings and disable recording when not needed.

By taking these simple steps, you can work from home with peace of mind, knowing your conversations are staying private.
