Windows 10: Phone link is adding numbers to my calls after recent update

firearcanewolf · Apr 20, 2023

I have been using phone link for my job now for over 2 months and its been great. this last update seems to have corrupted the connection between my browser and phone link, every time I click on a number to call now i get an additional 20 added into the middle of the call so for example the number will be ### ### ####. now when i click on it i get this instead ### 20 ### ####. i would like to know if there is a way to backdate the version on my phone link so i can use it again, or if there is a fix for this problem. thanksDavid

Facebook is using your 2FA phone number to target you with ads

Alongside the myriad other scandals the social network is currently embroiled in, it recently emerged this week that the company is using its users' need for security as a means of invading their privacy.

The company yesterday issued a statement confirming that phone numbers provided by users to Facebook for the purpose of securing their account via two-factor authentication were, in turn, being used by Facebook to serve up ads.

Two-factor authentication, if you're not familiar, is a security measure that aims to secure your account by adding a second step to the login process in addition to requiring a password. This is usually done by asking you to insert a code sent to your phone.

The statement from the Facebook spokesperson reads,

"We use the information people provide to offer a better, more personalized experience on Facebook, including ads. We are clear about how we use the information we collect, including the contact information that people upload or add to their own accounts. You can manage and delete the contact information you’ve uploaded at any time.”

Adding a number to call+sms filter

I recently updated my 920 to Amber and would like to know how to add a number to the blocked call list. I have tried tapping and holding a number in call history, but this only gives me the option of deleting the number.
