Recently, Facebook announced changes in its algorithm to bring more personal content on our timelines. However, that didn’t change much. To revive its lost glory, Facebook is now trying hard to make people use the platform and share personal content by introducing new features. Just a year back, they added colored backgrounds for creating interesting statuses as opposed to the boring text status. Now they have launched a new list feature....

Readability is a bookmarklet that can be used to transform any webpage from a cluttered design into a much simpler text and image-only barebones display. As a bookmarklet, Readability can be used on any browser that supports them. The features that jump out at me are the ability to tweak margins and font sizes. I don’t particularly enjoy reading size 9 font on websites, with extra-narrow margins. With a 1920×1080 display, it can be quite difficult to fully follow an article formatted this way....

We have all the answers for you. The current WhatsApp multi-device function is still in beta, but you opt for the beta channel and try this feature....

Back in India, as not many homes used wireless routers, there was not not much to do while settings up the wireless network. Just set a network SSID and security paraphrase and it’s good to go. However, when I moved to UK, things got a little complicated. Here, every house has a wireless router and thus one has to be aware about terms like channels, frequency and interference while setting up such a network....

That is, you need to open iCloud on other devices and view the notes there. But some people don’t prefer to use multiple apps or websites when the job can be done by a single app or service. So why not sync notes from iPhone/iPad to a thing that one uses regularly — Gmail. Is that even possible? Yes, that’s possible and can be done easily. The overall method involves adding Gmail account to iPhone, enabling sync for Notes in Gmail, followed by adding notes, and finally viewing them in Gmail....

Especially OneDrive, under Nadella’s ‘Mobile-first, cloud-first’ vision, has been growing exceptionally well.

In this post, we are going to compare iCloud to OneDrive for iOS and conclude which storage platform suits better to you. The comparison will cover interface, features, sharing, price, cross-platform availability, and more....

Part of the same family and yet all the four stories are different in their own ways. However, their basic ephemeral nature remains true for all. Meaning, the stories last for 24 hours only, until they disappear. Interestingly, while most of the users use Instagram stories, very few people use Facebook stories. Is it bad? No. Not at all. Facebook stories has most of the features that you find in Instagram stories....

But Swype is not just great at gesture based input. It’s a solid keyboard replacement on its own merit. The keys are nicely placed, there are multiple themes and not to mention a great prediction engine. After ruling over Android for a while (and later facing tough competition against SwiftKey), Swype did make it over to iOS but in the form of a jailbroken app that was never truly stable....

As their techniques become more sophisticated, how do you know when your phone is hacked? Data thefts, credit card frauds or illegal crypto mining — these are some of the many examples of what could happen if your phone is hacked. That is why your smartphone is way more valuable than you know, or even care to admit. The only problem is how to find out what’s happening behind the scenes, or screen, and stop it before damage is done....

educational content worth in the tens (and perhaps even hundreds) of thousands of dollars for free? That is, in a sentence, the entire premise of iTunes U – Apple’s online catalog of educational content that is available to anyone for free. Before, it was restricted entirely to iTunes, but with the iPhone and the iPad becoming ever more popular, it was natural for Apple to release an app for iOS device users to be able to access iTunes U on the go....

Now, this behavior can get really annoying at times. The reason is that you may actually want to perform a search on www.google.com instead of the country domain (as the results could vary). So, is there a way to prevent the redirection and force open www.google.com? Yes, there is. And when you want to do that simply hit the URL http://www.google.com/ncr, where ncr means no country redirection. You need to do this just once....

A major part of Android users rarely get their hands dirty with any of the above. But there are some tweaks in Android that really are worth it. The ones you pressure your technically challenged friends into or just do it for them yourselves. I’m talking about the Swiftkeys and Muzeis of the Android world. QuickClick is one such app. It will take some time to set up but you’ll reap the benefits for weeks and months to come....

free iPhone news readers or online RSS readers , since the start of July Google Reader stopped working. This led to several dedicated RSS readers based on it to lose support. Among these, the best and most popular one was without a doubt Reeder, by Silvio Rizzi. Thankfully, Reeder 2 for iOS ($4.99, universal) is back better than ever and this time as a universal app ready for iOS 7 while at the same time adopting other features and news syncing sources....
