Save Money and Learn New Tech Tricks!
Don’t break the bank on new gadgets when all you need is a little knowledge. Unlock the full potential of your iPhone with the handy Tap Back feature that most people are unaware of. But that’s just the beginning of your tech know-how journey. Let me answer three common questions for you to share with your loved ones, and you don’t even have to mention where you got the info.
Looking for a better way to share things online without resorting to screenshots? Well, it depends on what you want to share. If you want to direct someone to a specific spot on a webpage without any hassle, I’ve got you covered. In Google Chrome, simply highlight the desired text, choose “Copy link to highlight,” and send it to your recipient. It will lead them straight to that spot on the webpage. This is especially useful when sharing websites and saving valuable time. The same trick works for YouTube videos. Just scroll to the desired time, right-click on the video, and select “Copy video URL at current time.” Alternatively, use the Share button and specify the starting time before copying the URL. Remember, knowledge is power, so check out five more YouTube tricks that everyone should know.
Now, onto private reading. Sometimes, you don’t want the person who sent you a text to know that you’ve read it. I’ve got a couple of options for you. First, enable notifications on your phone. This way, you’ll see the entirety of the message on your home screen without actually opening it. If that’s not enough, here’s a super sneaky trick. When you receive a text, immediately put your phone in airplane mode and turn off Wi-Fi. This will disconnect your phone from the internet, allowing you to read the message without triggering a read receipt. Just make sure to disable the read receipts option in your messaging app for added stealth.
Lastly, let’s deal with those pesky reminders of the past. Whether it’s Google or Facebook, they love to bring up memories we’d rather forget. Luckily, you can hide those photos from showing up without deleting them. On Facebook, open the mobile app, tap the three-line menu icon, select Memories, and then the gear icon. From there, you can choose which memories you want to receive notifications for or hide memories involving specific people and dates. For Google Photos, open the app, access your account settings, select Memories, and hide individual photos or videos by selecting the profiles listed.
Don’t worry if you’re not a tech pro yet. I’ve got your back with the help of Kim Komando, an award-winning popular host who can make you sound like an expert. You can tune in to her show on over 425 radio stations or catch her podcast. Plus, join the 400,000 people who receive her free 5-minute daily email newsletter.
So, save your money, impress your friends and family with your newfound tech knowledge, and let’s embrace the digital world together!
