iPhones are well known for their security‚ and many people choose to buy iPhones because of that added safety. However‚ their popularity also makes iPhones appealing targets for hackers and bad actors. Now‚ hackers have found a way to spy on iPhones by installing third-party keyboards that bypass Apple's rigorous security checks. It isn't completely impossible for malicious code to be served to iPhone customers‚ but hackers are taking advantage of TestFlight‚ Apple's pre-release testing system‚ which allows app developers to ship unfinished versions of their apps to users. According to a report from Certo Software‚ hackers are installing third-party keyboards by uploading them to TestFlight. Once users install the app to test it‚ the hackers are able to install a custom keyboard that looks just like the iPhone's default keyboard. From there‚ the keyboard acts as a keylogger‚ and logs a ton of the user's data‚ including passwords‚ messages‚ and more‚ all without the user ever suspecting it. Check your iPhone's keyboard settings to see which keyboards are installed and active. Image source: Chris Smith‚ BGR It's this use of third-party keyboards to spy on iPhones that could very well lead to some drastic changes in how Apple allows developers to use TestFlight. But‚ in the meantime‚ there is something you can do to ensure you aren't having your information and data logged by a malicious keyboard. Head over to Settings >; General >; Keyboard and then navigate down to Keyboards. Here‚ you'll be able to see any keyboards you have installed. If you see anything that doesn't make sense‚ we recommend deleting it by tapping on the Edit button and then selecting the red minus button to delete the keyboard from your device. Of course‚ hackers are bound to find other ways to spy on your iPhone‚ so make sure you're always watching what you download and what sites you visit‚ as just because iPhones are more secure does not make them impossible to hack and access.

A few weeks before he was elected President‚ Lincoln received a letter from Grace Bedell‚ an 11-year-old girl from Westfield‚ New York. Richard Bluttal explains. Grace Bedell in the 1870s. The LetterN Y Westfield Chatauque Co Oct 15. 1860Hon A B Lincoln Dear SirMy father has just home from the fair and brought home your picture and Mr. Hamlin's. I am a little girl only eleven years old‚ but want you should be President of the United States very much so I hope you wont think me very bold to write to such a great man as you are. Have you any little girls about as large as I am if so give them my love and tell her to write to me if you cannot answer this letter. I have got 4 brother's and part of them will vote for you any way and if you will let your whiskers grow I will try and get the rest of them to vote for you   you would look a great deal better for your face is so thin. All the ladies like whiskers and they would tease their husband's to vote for you and then you would be President. My father is a going to vote for you and if I was a man I would vote for you to but I will try and get every one to vote for you that I can   I think that rail fence around your picture makes it look very pretty   I have got a little baby sister she is nine weeks old and is just as cunning as can be. When you direct your letter dir[e]ct to Grace Bedell Westfield Chatauque County New YorkI must not write any more   answer this letter right off Good bye Grace Bedell.  As soon as Mr. Lincoln received the letter he wrote back the following: October 19‚ 1860Springfield‚ Illinois Miss Grace BedellMy dear little Miss‚Your very agreeable letter of the 15th is received. I regret the necessity of saying I have no daughters. I have three sons—one seventeen ‚ one nine‚ and one seven years of age. They with their mother‚ constitute my whole family. As to the whiskers‚ having never worn any‚ do you not think people would call it a piece of silly affection if I were to begin it now? Your very sincere well-wisher.-A. Lincoln  By the time Lincoln left his Illinois home to start his inaugural journey to Washington‚ D.C.‚ he wore a full beard. The trip took him by rail through New York state‚ where he stopped briefly in Westfield on February 16. Once at the train station‚ he called into the crowd for Grace. The following contemporary newspaper accounts recorded the incident. From the Philadelphia Inquirer of February 20‚ 1861At Westfield‚ Mr. Lincoln greeted a large crowd of ladies‚ and several thousand of the sterner sex. Addressing the ladies‚ he said‚ "I am glad to see you; I suppose you are to see me; but I certainly think I have the best of the bargain. (Applause.) Some three months ago‚ I received a letter from a young lady here; it was a very pretty letter‚ and she advised me to let my whiskers grow‚ as it would improve my personal appearance; acting partly upon her suggestion‚ I have done so; and now‚ if she is here‚ I would like to see her; I think her name was Miss Barlly." A small boy‚ mounted on a post‚ with his mouth and eyes both wide open‚ cried out‚ "there she is‚ Mr. Lincoln‚" pointing to a beautiful girl‚ with black eyes‚ who was blushing all over her fair face. The President left the car‚ and the crowd making way for him‚ he reached her‚ and gave her several hearty kisses‚ and amid the yells of delight from the excited crowd‚ he bade her good-bye‚ and on we rushed. Did you enjoy the piece?
