One of two potential problems is likely causing the trouble. I discovered this for myself last night helping two of my friends install iOS 10. Neither of them were properly receiving the new iMessage effects once they should have been up and running. Some users, however, also report not being able to send effects either.

Excel sheets we usually give a name to every column and sometimes, to rows too. Our intention behind creating headers is that we (and the people we share our sheet with) may easily understand the data matrix and the data within it. However, there is one flaw with doing just this much. If you notice closely you will see that the headers scroll away as you scroll the document (down or left)....

agree to some list of permissions the app would require on your phone for proper functioning. If at all it needs to use your phone’s network connectivity, you will have to agree to a permission of Full Network Access. Software for Windows on the other hand do not usually ask for such kind of special permissions. All they require is admin access at times, and they can do pretty much anything on your system from creating desktop icons to rebooting your system....

Google+ is an interesting social network. The social network offers, in my opinion, much more features than its competitors, both in terms of possibilities to create content (the photo features I was mentioning, which are constantly receiving useful improvements), but also in the way users control the way they’re able to share the content they’re creating. The new additions have been announced in a post on Google+ (where else?) by Dave Besbris, its VP of Engineering....

For the On5, we have an Exynos 3475 SoC and the On7 gets a Snapdragon 410. Besides these, both phones have the same 1....

There are many anti-theft apps available for Android to reduce the toll and we have already covered one of them – Avast Anti-theft – a while back. The app worked exceptionally well but had certain shortcomings. It basically worked on SMS-based commands which were too complicated to handle (or remember). Furthermore, as soon as the thief got rid of the SIM card (which is probably the first thing any clever thief would do), all the hopes of recovering the smartphone was lost with it....

Let’s take a better look at Studio Design. Once you start the app, you are greeted with the designs of its users, which you can comment on and “like” just as with any other social network.
