However … there’s a slight problem. Usually, you just tap the Clear History and Website Data option and be done with it. But what if the entire option is grayed out? Not ideal if you don’t want someone else to know what you’ve been up to, right? To put any concerns to rest, there’s nothing wrong with your iPhone or iPad. It’s happens due to an iOS restriction imposed on Safari that blocks adult-related content and certain specific websites....

The goal is to let the user glance over the lock screen without reaching the power button. The added convenience feels a blessing when it works. But when it doesn’t, you might be left scratching head in confusion. And that ultimately leads you to stop using the tap to wake and raise to wake functions. The issue is most common in iPhone and OnePlus devices. In this post, we will guide you step by step to solve the problem....

But just like with anything new, you may have issues getting Picture-in-Picture mode to work on the iPhone. There are several reasons why that may happen. So without any further ado, let’s go through relevant fixes that can help you get Picture-in-Picture up and running again. Upgrade to iOS 14 Have you upgraded your iPhone to iOS 14? If you are still on iOS 13, you can’t use Picture-in-Picture mode....

While the problem occurs on Android (Samsung, Mi, Huawei, OnePlus, etc.) and iPhone, there are different reasons for it. Mostly because WhatsApp for Android and iPhone deal with images differently. Let’s see how to make WhatsApp images to show up in the gallery on Android and iPhone. 1. Restart Phone If the WhatsApp pictures or videos aren’t appearing on your iPhone or Android phone, start by restarting your phone. For that, either power off the phone and then turn it on or use the dedicated restart option....

The Windows Security Center has come a long way since the Defender days. Users who are not serious about getting it up and running are now vulnerable to all sorts of cyber threats like viruses, malware, ransomware attacks, and so on. You should take this up on priority and fix it at the earliest. Here are some solutions that should help. Let’s begin. 1. How to Enable Windows Security Center Windows Security is a suite of different apps that do different things....

If you aren’t willing to shell out additional cash for one of iCloud’s paid tiers (or if you don’t want to upgrade again), then it’s ultimately up to you to manage your iCloud storage. And the following pointers should help you do just that, right from the comfort of your iPhone or iPad. Delete Unwanted Photos Photos and videos take up a ton of storage, and even with the latest HEIC and HEVC formats used by iOS devices, all those live photos, bursts, and slow-mo videos are sure to more than make up for any efficiency improvements....

Do Not Disturb is a setting for iPhone that completely silences your phone for specific hours of the day so that you are not disturbed with any calls and notifications unless it’s an emergency. We have done a detailed article on the feature examining every aspect; go have a look. The feature is really amazing for getting a sound night’s sleep and I don’t know why we have yet to see the feature on Android even after so many updates....

So, it got me thinking about the ways to skip the start screen and land directly on a blank document, thereby saving some precious time. And it seems it doesn’t need much work since Microsoft includes an option to get Word to open a blank document directly by skipping the start screen. Let’s see how to get this done. Psst … this post also contains plenty of cool Word tricks to improve your productivity....

Using a privacy add-on in the app, you can only limit the Story viewing to specific users. Follow the steps below to restrict Instagram Stories from specific users. Step 1: Open Instagram on iPhone. Step 2: Go to your Instagram account tab. Step 3: Tap on the three-horizontal bars (hamburger) menu in the top-right corner and go to Settings....

However, unlike the free-to-use and readily available stickers on messaging platforms such as WhatsApp, Discord stickers are trickier. First, only server owners or members with specific role permissions can upload custom stickers to a server. The number of uploadable custom stickers depends on the server’s boost level. Also, using custom stickers across different servers is restricted for Discord users without Nitro. With that in mind, here’s how you can import and use Discord stickers:...

Dashlane has an easy importing feature that allows you to transfer all of your data over from 1Password. Yes, that’s all of your data — everything from saved Wi-Fi passwords to bank accounts, logins to autofill. If you already moved from LastPass to 1Password as per our recommendation, give this one last transfer some thought; it’s easy enough. Follow the simple steps below to get started. Export 1Password Data First, you’re going to need to export your 1Password data....

It’s a common knowledge that a battery has certain lifecycles but what is not a common knowledge is that charging it carelessly — like trickle charging or overcharging– can do more harm than good. A new entry in the field of Android Battery optimization is an app called AccuBattery, which not only monitors the health of your Android’s battery but also focuses on how to prolong it. So, without any further delay, let’s have a quick summary on this app....

You can’t browse through the videos without the navigation process getting on your nerves. Plus, the option to cast from the phone is conveniently missing. In a nutshell, it left a lot to be desired. Well, if you ask me, this was not what we all signed up for when we got the Fire TV Stick. My research led me to a neat workaround using the ES File Explorer File Manager app....

However, today I am going to talk about an app that shows another way around this. It’s called Oops! AppLock. With this, you can lock apps on your Android, just like the ones we have discussed previously. Unlike any of those, we will not be using a pin or a pattern lock. Instead we will be using a combination on the volume control buttons (Volume Up/Down) to gain access to the locked apps....

Cross-posting is useful when you want to post the same content on both the platforms regularly. Imagine the trouble of opening each app, searching the photo, and uploading it. Ugh! Fortunately, Facebook does let you post to Instagram directly, albeit with a few restrictions. What are they? And how to post from Facebook to Instagram? Let’s find the answers here. Can You Really Publish from Facebook to Instagram Yes. You can....

One of the flip sides of using a Mac with an external monitor is that it goes to sleep when you close the lid. So you have to keep the lid open or connect your Mac to a charger all the time. Both of these scenarios aren’t ideal. If this is an issue you face regularly, fret not because there’s a simple fix! Here’s how you can prevent your MacBook from sleeping when you close the lid....

And I read everywhere. I’ve already told you about my iPad reading setup, but today I’ll talk about how I read on the go – with my OnePlus One. Turns out, a phablet with a big beautiful screen is great for catching up on news and reading long-form journalism alike. Who knew? 1. Flipboard On my iPad, Flipboard barely makes it to the Top 10 reading apps on the App Store....

I am not sure why Google or any other services decide that it should not be rolled out to other countries. Come on! The recording is taking place on my device and using the record button on an APK doesn’t give any load on their servers. But this kind of selective feature roll-out to US and UK first has become a trend nowadays and I hate it more than anything else....

I also seemed to have lost some bookmarks which didn’t make sense. And before I could figure out what’s wrong, the duplicate bookmarks mysteriously appeared in Firefox and Chrome on my Windows 7 laptop too. It didn’t take me long to figure out what caused this mess. It was the simultaneous usage of Chrome Sync, Firefox Sync, and Xmarks. I use Xmarks to sync my bookmarks across all the browsers I use, and also had the bookmarks option ticked in the Chrome and Firefox browser sync settings....

A few years back, there was this famous incident where a 5-year-old kid spent around 1,710 Pounds (approx. $2640) while playing a game. Depending upon local laws, there might be a way to claim that back, but it’s always better to be on a safer side. Therefore, today I am going to show you can protect your money and restrict in-app purchases on Android, iOS and Windows smartphones. Preventing In-App Purchases on iOS On iOS, you get a password prompt while installing an app from the App Store....
