How to Create a Folder with No Name on Your iPhone or iPad

Image
When organizing your Home screens on your iPhone or iPad, you’ve probably noticed that a default name is given to each folder when you create it. iOS won’t let you delete the name and leave it blank, but there is a trick to getting around this problem. When you create a folder on your iPhone or iPad, iOS gives the folder a default name based on the type of apps in the folder. However, sometimes you may not want to assign a name to a folder. For example, I want to put all the items on the Home page that I don’t use much into a folder on a secondary Home screen without a label. I just want to get these apps out of the way. To do this, you need an app from the “Food & Drink” category in the App Store. If you already have an app on your phone from this category, you’re set and you can skip this part. We’re going to use the “OpenTable” app as an example. Now, create a folder using the “OpenTable” app. To do this, tap and hold on the “OpenTable” icon… …until a round “x” button displays o

How to Use Windows’ File History to Back Up Your Data

File History is Windows 10’s main  backup tool ,  originally introduced in Windows 8 . Despite the name, File History isn’t just a way to restore previous versions of files–it’s a fully-featured backup tool. After you set up File History, you can just connect an external drive to your computer and Windows will automatically back up your files to it. Leave it connected and Windows will back up automatically on a schedule. How to Enable File History Click or tap the “Add a drive” option under Back up using File History to add an external drive that File History will back up to. It’ll list external drives and give you the option to back up to them. File History is designed to be quick and easy to enable, unlike other complex backup tools. To enable it, first connect an external hard drive to your computer. Next, open the Settings app from your Start menu. Navigate to Update & Security > Backup. You could also use the Control Panel for this, but we’ll be covering the new Settings in

How to Make Your iPhone Flash Its LED When You Get a Notification

Image
Have you ever wanted to make your iPhone completely silent but still alert your when someone calls, or when you receive a text? It is possible to silence the ringing and the vibrations, but still receive notifications by flashing the LED light on the back. This trick is very simple and will only take a few seconds to perform, but it may very well save you a great bit of hassle if you mute your phone for an important meeting or conversation, and then forget to unmute it. At least now you’ll have some indication that someone is trying to get a hold of you. To start, open the Settings and then tap on the “General” option. Next, scroll toward the bottom and tap on “Accessibility”. Finally, turn on the option “LED Flash for Alerts”. Now, your iPhone will flash when someone is calling you, you receive a text, or some other notification that alerts you. For example, if you use Facebook Messenger, then your phone will flash once when you receive a new message.

SafetyNet Explained: Why Android Pay and Other Apps Don’t Work on Rooted Devices

Image
Rooting your Android device gives you access to a wider variety of apps and a deeper access to the Android system. But some apps–like Google’s Android Pay–won’t work at all on a rooted device. Google uses something called SafetyNet to detect whether your device is rooted or not, and blocks access to those features. Google isn’t the only one, either–plenty of third-party apps also won’t work on rooted Android devices, although they may check for the presence of root in other ways. SafetyNet: How Google Knows You’ve Rooted Your Android Phone Android devices offer a “ SafetyNet API ,” which is part of the Google Play Services layer installed on Google-approved Android devices. This API “provides access to Google services that help you assess the health and safety of an Android device,” according to Google. If you’re an Android developer, you can call this API in your app to check whether the device you’re running on has been tampered with. This SafetyNet API is designed to che

How to Quickly Insert Blocks of Text in Microsoft Word with AutoText

Image
We all have a few large chunks of text we have to type regularly–like your address, long names or phrases, or even tables and images you use often. The AutoText feature in Word allows you to store these chunks of text and quickly insert them with a few keystrokes, so you can waste less time typing. The AutoText feature has been part of Office for a long time, but is now part of Quick Parts, which was added to Office 2007. In addition to AutoText entries, the Quick Parts feature allows you to insert document properties (such as title and author) and fields (such as dates and page numbers). Quick Parts and AutoText entries are also known as “Building Blocks” and Word comes with many predefined building blocks. You can also add as many custom building blocks as you want. NOTE: We’ve previously written about how to reference text from other documents in Word so you can insert reusable content into other documents that will automatically update. The trick discussed in that ar
