desktop email clients without the Reply , Forward and Reply All options. Pathetic, right? Indeed. Without these options it would become so difficult to converse on email threads and give conclusive meaning to matters. On the contrary, especially in organizations, there are occasions when you need to send a bulk message by putting most of the recipients in CC field. And in some of those cases you would want the recipients to not reply all or forward that message because you know how drastically that can choke the server space and bandwidth....

While all note-taking apps have one purpose, the way they work and the features that they provide differ widely. Take Google Keep for example. I moved my notes from Evernote to Google Keep because it is free, easy to use, offers only the essential features (no clutter), and integrates deeply with other Google apps. Visit Google Keep I recently started paying more attention to Dropbox Paper after a fellow tech blogger wouldn’t stop raving about it....

Log into your Gmail account and click on the wrench icon to go to the Settings page. Select and display the Labs tab which displays all the experimental apps for Gmail. Scroll down to the Apps Search lab feature which should be somewhere near the top itself. Click Enable and Save.

While uploading photos to Facebook is easy, downloading them isn’t. Facebook does not offer any direct method to bulk-download your albums or pictures. You have to rely on external tools if you intend to download photos from Facebook (or do it manually for each image which could be a cumbersome task). If you are a Firefox user then you can use the FacePAD add-on to backup your Facebook albums on your PC....

Most of the budget smartphones memory are no match for some of the huge apps like Facebook or Messenger which hog up a third of the available memory. As you might already recall, memory hogging apps are also the cause of Android phones slowing down. So, how do you solve this particular issue? Hermit is a lite apps browser which aims at providing an apt alternative to some of the heavy apps....

A lot of developers are aware of this and have tried their hands at cracking this market. We’ve highlighted those apps here before. But every one of them had some problem or another. Either the data wasn’t great (most apps use proprietary data) or the app was laden with ads. Some even required a premium subscription to enable navigation. Now, it looks like there’s finally a true Google Maps substitute for offline users....

The OnePlus 5 Reading Mode does a bit more than just optimizing the display. Here, you can set individual apps for this feature. So that whenever you open those particular apps, the reading mode would kick in automatically. The good news is, you can have the OnePlus 5-like reading mode on any Android phone (minus the individual app feature) by just tweaking the settings a bit. As we always emphasize, the world of Android is huge and a majority of the time, the tweaks are hidden or tucked away in faraway corners....

Sony’s Stamina Mode does the same thing, but one great feature about it is that it lets you whitelist the apps that can access the data periodically to get notifications. An intelligent way to make the phone useful and long-lasting at the same time.

Here’s how I did it. Step 1: Right-click on the Start menu aka orb icon and go to Properties. That opens the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialog. Step 2: On the Start Menu tab click on the Customize button....

Nexus One, manufactured by HTC, was hailed as the iPhone killer, which at the time was specifically the iPhone 3GS. Fast forward and it’s safe to say iPhone escaped totally unharmed, but for its time the Nexus One was an impressive piece of hardware. Just for fun, it’s worth exploring what almost seven years of hardware and software innovation can bring. It’s time for a spec showdown between the Nexus One and Pixel....

But, why does it need this? What does it actually do? A Little Background For those of you who’ve seen the evolution of personal computing right from the early days, will remember the specs of computers of yore. Memory chips used to be in the KBs and so did the processor speeds. As time passed, we moved into the MHz territory, with memory chips running at 4 MHz and CPU at 2 MHz....

MS Outlook , you can do away with the downloading part. But you will anyways need to open the attachment which consumes a decent amount of time in launching the helper tool and application. That’s when you feel the need of a bit extra. And there exists such an ‘extra’ on Outlook which you need to activate. We will tell you today, how you can view (or rather preview) attachments without opening them....

In addition to that, though, there is quite a neat iOS feature that not many of you might know about and that can be tremendously helpful. With it, you can have your iPhone speak notifications to you (using Siri’s voice no less), which can be tremendously handy in some specific scenarios, like when you are riding a bike, working out or simply whenever you are just to busy to pick up your iPhone....

You’re also used to exposed program and system files, knowing the exact place of the file or just forgetting where you saved a file and not being able to find it ever again (let’s not get into how bad searching on Windows is).

I mostly use different currency symbols while talking with clients and writing a budget proposal for them. Students will also appreciate the inclusion of degree sign, Celsius, Fahrenheit, and more symbols menu. Most math symbols already come integrated on the keyboard. Still, the symbols menu goes ahead with the inclusion of special math characters such as subset, increment, integral extension, summation, division, and more. In this post, we will talk about how to add special characters in Mac and other tricks for the keyboard....

There are two ways to do so in Canva for the web — you can either record the audio beforehand. Or, you use the recording studio (beta) feature of Canva. You will need access to a noise-free and distraction-free room in both cases so that the audio is crisp and clear. Once the slides are ready, the tool takes care of the rest. So, if you love pottering around Canva, here’s how to add voice-overs to Canva presentations....

Now, the app through which we are going to achieve this task needs Root access. So ensure the phone is Rooted. And, your device should be running Android 6.0 and above (of course). Let’s dig in.
