Has your smartphone ever embarrased you?

I accidently opened up a porn video that I didn't even realise I downloaded once before when I was on the bus. My earphones were on but the guy beside me had a good chuckle nevertheless.

use quickpic if you are on android.

you can set folder(s) to hidden and password the ability to show them. It adds a .nomedia file to the folder so it doesn't appear.

now you have a great gallery app that looks normal but has the good stuff hidden.

Just your "special download" folder to hidden and you won't have any issues if you close out properly when you are done.

not my smartphone, but downloaded the movie 'the baader meinhoff complex' a few years ago and decided to watch it on my laptop on the train once. it started off with a scene on a nudist beach with some kids running about. laptop got shut pretty lively then.

Let's just say it's unfortunate that when I lock my phone it sounds like I'm taking a picture. Bathroom - walking behind a woman in the street etc...

There is the story doing the rounds where a guy on a train was sitting opposite a lovely young lady in a short dress who he happened to work with.

Whatever he was doing on the phone he ended up turning on the flash, paniced and turned it off again. All was ok he thought till he noticed she was awful uncomfortable looking and moved seat.

Then he realised that the torch turning on and off looked like a camera flash on the phone and it made him look like he was trying to get an upskirt photo.

He got into trouble then at work if I remember correctly

EDIT: few details wrong but the jist is ok

I once heard about somebody who bought an iPhone 5C because they couldn't afford an iPhone 5S. How embarrassing /drops monocle

not me but one of the lads i drink with was telling me he had pics of an ample chested girl from his facebook friends saved on his phone for viewing when he was 'alone'. he met the girl in the pub when he was drunk and she asked to see the photos of his xmas trip to the states but saw the diddy pics when she opened his gallery. He said she had a good laugh about it but can you imagine the embarrassment

in before someone says 'ye right, one of the lads'

The only time my smartphone embarrasses me is if I speak into it. Lol
