But as I have now grown to realize, after using the watch for around six months, you can become bored of these stored songs pretty soon. And in the long run, you are bound to come across this scenario sooner than later. Of course, the situation is the same for apps as well. Whether it’s our habit of being disloyal to apps or we are scared of our devices running out of storage, uninstalling or removing apps is part and parcel of our lives....

It’s not that Windows doesn’t provide the option to make password policy better; it’s just that most of us are not aware of the feature. We set passwords at our convenience and then forget to change it on a timely basis. So let me show you all the password policies that you can apply in Windows 7 and 8 to increase your computer’s security. We will also try to understand what these policies mean and how they work....

So if you’re looking for a crisp wallpaper for the 6 Plus, you need to look for something that’s at least 1242×2208. And that’s with the perspective zoom off.

Businesses or an influencer has to have an eye-catching profile image to lure users into following them. Yes, of course, the content gets more weightage here.

That could be a bummer, as a profile picture is the first basic thing you need to have on your Instagram profile....

And as a phone falls from grace many of us fall into the insane trap of getting a new one (we are humans, after all). But shouldn’t you spare a second thought for your old companion? As they say, it’s not over till it’s over and the good news is, there are many ways of reviving these devices....

Yes, you can still visit the Settings app to turn cellular data on or off. But strangely, all of the individual cellular controls for apps also appear grayed out and ‘stuck’ in place. The same goes for the Wi-Fi Assist switch. Don’t worry. There’s nothing wrong with your iPhone or iPad. The Screen Time restrictions are responsible for that, most of the times. So without any further ado, let’s check out how you can get things back to normal....

Here is a trick that has worked time and time again in order to get it back. The Trick to Get Back ‘Forget My Network’ Despite Apple not yet fixing this weird bug some iPhone and iPad users sporadically get, there is, fortunately, a very easy fix....
