On the PC, iCloud Photos provides a convenient way to gain access to any photos taken from your iOS devices. But in reality, it comes nowhere close to the convenience that a Mac’s Photos app provides — in fact, it feels clunky, outdated, and worst of all, unintuitive. And therein lies the problem. You may have noticed numerous instances where iCloud Photos simply fails to download photos taken from other devices....
Breaks which is a very handy option when it comes to breaking a section or applying page breaks. The additional space that gets embedded between sections gives a decent look to the document . However, it does not state the prominence or distinctiveness and appears more like a paragraph change. So, I consider using horizontal lines instead.

Let’s check out how to change the system fonts on our iPhones using a simple Cydia tweak called BytaFont 2....
Don’t Panic Needless to say, this is the first thing that needs to be done. Panicking, or worse, spreading false information via any medium, is just not the right way to respond to any crisis. While it’s natural to feel scared when you read a news like this, you have to realize that unnecessary panic just does not serve any purpose. In their blog post, LastPass have made it clear, and I quote, Yes, it does go on to say that But, what does this mean, you ask?...
opting for 2FA (Two Factor Authentication) for additional security to safeguard the critical data we store online. There’s even a service called TwoFactorAuth.org that lists all the sites that do or do not support it. However, it isn’t very convenient always and not all apps support it yet. So using a password locally on your phone to lock certain apps makes sense. Plus it ensures that even if you’re already logged in to the service, anyone with access to your phone will have a hard time accessing that particular app....
built-in Calendar app for more than just adding a few events, birthday reminders, sharing calendars and so on.

It is always advisable to create more than one data partition on Windows systems for a variety of reasons. Like, if your main OS partition gets corrupted, you’d loose every single data on your computer if there’s only one partition. Also, there’s no way to copy data from one partition to another when there’s only one partition, which is something you might need to do while doing troubleshooting tasks. (Image Credit: Cambridge Cat) Hence it is recommended to use at least two data partitions (you may use more than that though)....

Don’t worry, let me show you what the app can do....
The Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ comes packed with a gorgeous display — the Infinity Display. With a native resolution of 1440 x 2960, AMOLED screen and an edge-to-edge aspect ratio of 18.5:9, it makes up for a more than an impressive display. Plus, let’s not forget the faster response time and power efficiency of AMOLED screens. And this format is clearly better for watching videos and trailers since you get a lot of space, compared to conventional phones....
The latest entry in mail apps for power users this time is Spark (free App Store), an app developed by Readdle, a company that is mostly known for document management apps. Personally, I don’t have to deal with a heavily cluttered inbox that often, which is why CloudMagic is my favorite mail iPhone app. But after using CloudMagic for a few months, I wondered how this simple, streamlined app would compare to Spark....
YouTube nowadays provides a way using which one can download videos offline while on Wi-Fi and then have a look at it later. But Facebook hasn’t come out with any of such options yet. Well, you can save a video to a list, but would still need an internet connection to buffer the videos. We have talked about an app in the past using which you can download the Facebook videos on iPhone, but the app has been pulled off the App Store....

You can always use the keyboard media controls to play/pause or forward/backward songs, but when you are in the Spotify app, you can opt for Spotify keyboard shortcuts to improve the listening experience. Besides, I have always found the Spotify media controls and other buttons such as shuffle, repeat, search, mute/unmute tiny in size to my liking.
