HI ~ As nice as "Plus" is does anyone know as to how I might stop others seeing what I am doing?
For example. when I am playing a game (UNO/Backgammon) with a buddy, it would seem as if all my other contacts are able to learn what I am doing.

Must be a simple way to turn off this function, but I am at a loss as to how to do it having searched the many various options.

Any ideas please?
Many thanks, Michael
