  • Here are settings and features every Smartphone user should have “on”.

    Here are settings and features every Smartphone user should have “on”.

    Who doesn’t use a smartphone? Well, not me. We all got one of those fancy gadgets and every now and then, we realise our phones are giving us one problem or the other.

    However that may seem, it’s also very possible to use your smartphone over a long period of time without having much of a problem.

    Well, there are some things that are likely to happen once you own a smartphone. This includes theft, hardware damage, wear and tear, etc. No matter how careful you are, you can’t prevent some of these things from happening.

    Sad, yet true.

    So what if you are struck by any of the above-mentioned issues? What are you going to do? What if you lose your phone at a party or you have a software issue and you need to reset your phone? Would you lose everything?

    Well, over the years, I’ve lost and switched phones, but I have never lost any of my data – contacts, photos, even text messages. This has been largely due to some settings and feature I always keep active on my devices.

    GPS Location

    Although some articles advise you to keep your location disabled to extend battery life, it’s not always in your best interest to do this. No matter how careful you are, losing a smartphone is easier than you assume.

    Keeping your GPS location disabled eliminates whatever chance you have of recovering your phone. Whether you have an iOS device that uses iCloud’s Find My iPhone or you own an Android device that relies on Google’s Find My Device, you need to keep location enabled on your device at all times.

    If you’re worried about applications always tracking your location, you can selectively adjust app permissions to control location access.

    Contacts Sync

    It’s sad when you see people complaining that they have lost “all their contacts”. To me, that sounds like they’re saying they’ve lost access to their email or unless they lost their contacts using a feature that could not sync contacts.

    If you are on the Internet, you probably have a Google Account. On Android and iOS, Google lets you add your account to your phone and you can sync all your contacts under settings.

    Even if you lose your phone or it gets stolen, you only need to enter this same Google account and password on your new phone and your old contacts automatically appear.

    For iPhone users, there is also the additional option to sync your contacts to your iCloud account.

    You need to ensure contacts synchronization is enabled. Do not disable it for whatever reason. For a comprehensive guide on this, read this previous article.

    Google Photos

    Unlike the other two features earlier mentioned, this is actually an app.

    Google Photos is so great and I enjoy using it daily. It takes your entire photo library — every photo you’ve ever taken on your phone, as well as screenshots and photos taken within Instagram and whatever else — and uploads it to the internet.

    The photos remain private, hidden behind your Google account information, but now you can access them anywhere. On your laptop? Yep. On a new phone? Yep. On your tablet? Yep, there too.

    I really cannot think of a reason why anyone would not use Google Photos. It offers free unlimited storage for your photos. Yes, unlimited. And yes, free.

    And when you lose your phone, you can always get all of your photos back.

    How to watch YouTube Videos without an Active Internet Connection

    YouTube. Apart from being regarded as the second largest search engine (very debatable), YouTube has become a platform where you can find just about any video to watch as well as enjoy some great music.

    One reason why a lot of people “fear” YouTube is its high data usage. And it becomes particularly annoying if you are the kind of person that goes on YouTube to watch just about the same kinds of things all the time.

    Today, I’m sharing a very legal and useful way you can use to watch YouTube videos offline, without having to worry about data charges.

    The feature I will like to speak about is YouTube’s Offline Feature.

    It’s actually very simple. If you so much like a video on YouTube and you would want to watch it while there is no internet, YouTube will allow you to download the video onto your phone/tablet and then watch it later.

    Once the video has been downloaded, you can watch it as many times as you want without using up your mobile data or WiFi. You should, however, note that not all videos can be downloaded. If the Publisher made the settings so that the video can be downloaded (most publishers enable this), then you can go ahead and download it.

    If you have internet problems and that is the reason you want to watch youtube videos offline, you should check out the wonderful usave broadband deals. There is a deal for everyone.

    How to Watch YouTube Videos Offline

    1. Go to the YouTube app and tap on the video of your choice. Below the video, you will see the option of Download, touch on it.
    2. After downloading the video, the video will start downloading. Here Youtube will ask you about the quality of Download Video, which you can set according to your liking.
    3. After scrolling down the notification bar, you will be able to see the size and download status of the video.
    4. As soon as the video gets downloaded, you will see a notification for the video being downloaded in the Notification bar.
    5. You will see the Downloaded option of blue colour below the video of your choice, which means that your video has been downloaded.
    6. Now to watch this video without internet, you have to go to YouTube’s Library. There you will see the option of available offline, tap on it – you will find the downloaded video there.

    You will see the downloaded video. You can now watch the video without the internet for a month. If you have internet within the period of one month, you can still continue to watch the video without any interruptions.

    Are there any ways you watch YouTube videos offline? You can share with us in the comments section below.

    4. Send a short message to the Broadcast List, for example, good morning, hello, hi, etc.
    5. Once the message has been sent, press and hold the message you sent. Next, click on the three vertical lines and select Info

    There are several third-party apps and software available on the internet that tells you whether your contact has been saved by someone or not. Most of these apps are free and the rest are paid.

    Obtaining a loan in Ghana at this time is very easy, quick, and free. Due to the high number of banks and credit institutions, people who are looking to get a loan in Ghana have several alternatives to choose from.

    But almost all these banks and credit institutions have their own requirements and interest rates they require from each borrower. One of the main requirements that people are usually scared about is collateral, which is usually in the form of a car, land, house, or any valuable property they can sell to get back the money should you fail to pay the money on time.

    All these issues are somehow resolved when it comes to online digital lending platforms like the Vodafone Cash Ready Loan.

    What is Vodafone Cash Ready Loan?

    Vodafone Cash Ready Loan is a quick, easy, and convenient method by which very active customers of Vodafone Cash can access low-interest loans using the Vodafone Cash wallet.

    As a result, most people prefer using their smartphones to the clock. Due to the gradual “disappearance” of clocks, watches, and smartwatches manufacturing companies are now taking over the industry.

    One of such brands is Casio. Casio is known for its excellent manufacturing of calculators, watches, etc. In their watch series, one of the most popular watches is the Casio Touch watch.

    Unlike the normal watches that have buttons for setting the time, the Touch watch, just as the name suggests does not have any button for setting the time. As such, you need to use touch the screen to set the time.

    Although setting the time on the Casio Touch watch is not that difficult, most people find it difficult to set the time; and that is the reason why we decided to write this article to guide you through the process of setting the Casio Touch watch.

    How To Set Casio Touch Watch

    1. Tap the touch once to show the digital time display.
    2. Touch and hold the Hour area for 4-6 seconds to change the Hour. It can only go forward and not backward.

    4. Again, touch and hold to switch to the Date
    5. Similar to setting the time, tap on the Day to change the day.
    6. Tap on the Year and the Month to change the year and month also.
