There is nothing more interesting than viewing your childhood photos and reminiscing on the memories that you had when you were a child. Unlike everyone, some of us have little or no memory of what happened on certain occasions when we were little.

Although we love to imagine what happened back then, with the MyHeritage app you can bring your childhood photos to life. The MyHeritage app brings old photos to life once you upload the photo to the app.

If you ask someone whose house is burning what they will take, apart from money and a few valuables, the other thing he/she might say is old photos. This is because they are very special and they were taken on a very occasion.

In the olden days, photos were taken on special occasions only, unlike recently where we have cloud storage and digital cameras on our smartphones. This means that, once you take a photo you take very good care of it as it could not be reprinted.

These past few days, social media has been exploding with short videos of people sharing their childhood photos where their faces and eyes are moving. The first time I saw this animated video, I didn’t realize it was a photo; it looked so real.

Conclusion

Isn’t this interesting? It is, right. The MyHeritage app has finally been able to add some life to your old childhood photo. You can now look at yourself when you were a little boy or girl and how handsome or beautiful you were.

With over 2 billion global users, there is no argument that WhatsApp is the most popular and most used social media platform in the world. It is used by both the young, middle-aged, and old.

As a result of its popularity and recognition, there are a lot of software developers who have taken it upon themselves to try and make an earning through creating apps that resemble the official WhatsApp app by Facebook.

Some of the most popular names among them are the GBWhatsApp, FMWhatsApp, WhatsApp Gold, etc. These are all third-party apps created to mimic the original WhatsApp app.

These apps come with some very cool and amazing features; most of which cannot be found in the original WhatsApp app. But, as humans as we are, we often overlook the dangers that are hidden under these features.

In the field of health for example, before you will go into surgery, the doctor will have to tell you all the risks associated with the surgery as well as the positives. But, in technology, most of the apps we have installed on our devices do not give us a fair idea of some of their disadvantages, and the modded WhatsApp apps are one of them.

In this regard, I have taken my time writing this article and explain to you some of the disadvantages associated with using modded WhatsApp apps.

Some Features Offered By Modded WhatsApp Apps

Although the main goal of this article is to talk about the disadvantages, I think just like surgery, it will be good to give some of the positives as well. Some of the cool and amazing features some of these modded apps offer us include:

• Some of these modded apps support different languages. This means that no matter the language you speak, you can use the modded WhatsApp to chat with your friends and loved ones.
• You can lock private chats with a password.
• Themes can be selected according to the preference of the user. Afterward, that particular theme can be shared with the developer for them to add to their theme database.
• Most of these modded apps allow you to share videos up to 16GB.
• You can post as many WhatsApp statuses as you wish without any limitation.
• You can download the media on someone’s status without using a status saver.
• Last but not least, you are allowed to hide blue tick, double tick, and your online status.

Some Disadvantages Of Using Modded WhatsApp Apps

As you can see from some of the features that the modded WhatsApp apps offer, it appears to be the same as that of the original apps. As a result, we do not give attention to some of the risks and the disadvantages involved in these apps.

Below are some of the disadvantages associated with the use of modded WhatsApp apps on your device.

The messages you send are not safe

Whenever you send a message through any of these modded WhatsApp apps, there is no guarantee that your messages are taken through the necessary encryption and servers. There might be instances where your messages are not passing through third-party servers.

In such cases, your messages could end up in the hands of people who might use this information against you.

For example, when you send your financial details or other confidential information through these apps you are risking it. Unlike the original WhatsApp where all the messages are taken through the right WhatsApp servers.

These modded WhatsApp apps are unofficial

As you might have realized, the WhatsApp mods are neither available on the Google Play Store, nor the Apple App Store. The reason is that these apps are not illegal to use but they are not official and as such, cannot be found on either store.

But for Android users, can download the app from the web. This is because no license is needed to put your apps on the web. So, whenever you open these WhatsApp mods, you have to know that they are unofficial.

There is a higher chance of attracting viruses or malware to your device

Whenever you are using the modded version of WhatsApp, you have a higher chance of attracting viruses and malware. This is because these apps have less secured hosted servers that would have ensured nothing like this happens to you.

Some of the viruses can damage the data on your device, and all this will be a result of your own fault. The original WhatsApp has enough secured hosted servers to avoid such instances.

Conclusion

WhatsApp mods are very useful in some instances but just like every other thing, it has its own disadvantages. Some of which could cause you to lose your device completely.

In this article, I have explained some of the main disadvantages to you. Make sure to read them carefully before you choose to continue using the apps or not.

Either way, if you have any questions about this particular article, feel free to write it down in the comments section below and I will be glad to help.

E-mails (Electronic mails) are a great way to send and receive information – especially official and confidential information.

Since the inception of Email technology some decades back, the sending and receiving of information has generally seen a facelift.

Lawyers, business people, students, educators and even friends tend to use emails every now and then.

In some serious situations, there’s a need for us to print out email messages – especially for official purposes.

Unfortunately, Gmail – the most popular mailing service – only allows you to print one email message at a time.

Therefore, it becomes increasingly difficult for anyone hoping to print out a pile of email messages at the same time, especially if the person uses Gmail.

But, this shouldn’t deter you from being able to print out your emails or resorting to printing them one after the other.

That’ll be so much stress for you!

Don’t worry. We have some work around for this situation. Just stick and stay to the end of this article.

How To Print Multiple Emails With Print All Chrome Add-on

The Print All Chrome Add-on is an extension which allows you to print as many Gmail messages as you want at a time.

Now, even though this is an extension, it requires some few steps of setting up to get your printing started.

But don’t worry, we will take you through everything you need to know in order to actually get your emails printed – in bulk too!

First Things First

The very first thing you need to do in order to start printing your bulk emails is for you to acquire the Add-on and install it on your browser.

Note that this extension works with Google Chrome browser only.

And for this process to work better, it’s best to do it on a laptop or desktop computer. A smartphone may not be convenient for this.

So, here’s how to access the add-on on your computer:

1. Visit Chrome’s webstore here
2. Search for ‘Save Emails to Google Drive by CloudHQ
3. Click on ‘Add to chrome’ to install it on your browser.
4. After the extension is installed, you’ll be required to give it access to your email account. Kindly confirm it.

Saving Your Emails as PDF Files

After finally installing the extension on your chrome browser and giving it access to your account, it’s now time to move to the real deal.

It’s now time to download the various emails you want to print out.

Follow the steps below to download them as PDF files:

1. Select the emails you want to print out from your Gmail account
2. Look at the immediate top row of your email messages and click on the ‘Google drive’ button

Finally, you have downloaded and printed your emails now. Though it’s a bit of a technical process, I believe this guide is enough to guide you through successfully.

Conclusion

Emails are a great way to send both official and unofficial messages. Interestingly, Google mail (Gmail) – the biggest email service provider – doesn’t allow users to print multiple emails at a time.

So, when users need to print out a bulky list of emails at a time, they have to go through the tiring process of printing the emails individually.

In this article, we looked at one of the best ways to download and print bulk email messages at a time. We hope that you find this article very helpful.

Have you ever seen a picture that seems surreal or does not make sense to you? If you have, then the question you probably asked yourself was, has this image been photoshopped?

Well, telling whether an image has been manipulated or photoshopped is not as difficult as we all think. Naturally, we all have an instinct that tells us not to believe what our eyes are seeing at a particular period.

It is this same instinct that tells us to challenge the authenticity of an image we see with our eyes. But as we all know, telling whether an image has been manipulated or photoshopped is not that easy.

In this digital age we are living in now, manipulated and photoshopped images are circulated throughout the internet every day. The majority of these images are circulated on various social media platforms.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of social media users has increased and this has led to an increase in the spread of the photoshopped images. Some of these images are used to lure people especially to scam them.

Because of the difficulty in determining whether an image has been manipulated or photoshopped, I decided to write this article. In this article, I am going to show you how to tell if an image has been manipulated or photoshopped.

Check For Signs of Warping

In photography, warping is the process of manipulating an image digitally in such a way that any shape portrayed in the image has been significantly distorted. At times, all you need to do is to look beyond the subject of the photo.

To check for signs of warping, look for straight lines in the background and see if they conform to the laws of science. The same thing is used to exaggerate weight loss or some of the effects of clothes that help you to slim down.

Look For The Shadow

Although this is not always the best way to detect whether an image has been manipulated or not, it is sometimes helpful. This is because not all the objects in the world will cast a shadow where a photo is taken.

But mostly, objects will cast a shadow when a photo is taken. For example, if you take a photo at night in a room, your body has to cast a shadow on the wall in the room.

When an image is manipulated or photoshopped, it is very difficult to make this happen. Even if you see a shadow in a picture taken in the sun, be very careful to check the angle of the sun too if it is natural.

In some images where there is a textured object, the shadow should look similar to that textured object. For example, if there is a rock behind a human being, the shadow should look similar to the texture of the rock and not like the normal shadow.

Use Image Edited

Apart from using your eyes and your photography skills to tell whether an image is manipulated or not, some tools are also available for you to use. These tools have been created purposely for checking the authenticity of an image.

One of the most popular tools available is Image Edited. Image Edited uses some of the technical photographic methods to check the image. It looks at the EXIF data to check for inconsistencies in some specific areas.

When you test for images on Image Edited, they match the details to see if it matches that of a camera or that of a photo editing software. You can check Google Image Edited and then follow the on-screen instructions to continue.

Apart from these ways of telling if an image has been manipulated or not, below are some of the other ways you can equally do that.

• Perform reverse image search on the image
• Check if the image has been airbrushed
• Look for patterns and repeated images
• Look for blurry areas.

Conclusion

in this guide, I have shown you some of the best and trusted ways of telling if an image has been manipulated or photoshopped or not. Although we have compiled a lot of them in this article, we do not know it all.

So, if you know of any other ways we can do this, feel free to write it in the comments section below and I will make sure to add it to the list.

Are you looking to find a song without knowing the name or lyrics of the song? Read on to find out how to do that.

Music is one of the best ways to enjoy your quiet time alone. But the annoying thing is that there are many songs in the world and keeping the lyrics of every song in your head can be very difficult.

What’s even worse is when you don’t even know the title of the song, the artist, or even the producer of the song you are looking for. But how will you stop singing “thrash” instead of the original lyrics if you can find the song?

Well, several apps and tools can help you find a solution to this nightmare. With these tools and apps, you’ll be able to find a song without knowing any detail about the song.

In this article, I am going to show you how to find a song without knowing the title or the lyrics.

How to Find A Song Without Knowing the Name or Lyrics

Finding a song without knowing the name or lyrics is very easier than you thought. There are several methods you can use to do that, but, in this article, I only used only some of the top methods.

How to Find A Song Without Knowing the Name or Lyrics Using Shazam

In my opinion, Shazam is the most popular song identification app in the world. Over the years, Shazam has been used by over a million people all over the world to identify songs they have no idea about.

Initially, Shazam started only as a music-identification app but over the years, it has now turned into a platform for both musicians and their listeners. The Shazam app is available for free download from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.

To use the Shazam app to find a song, all you have to do is to get a pre-recorded version of the song on another mobile phone or computer. Afterward, follow the steps below;

1. Download the Shazam app from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store
2. Open the app and turn the microphone of your phone towards the other device with the pre-recorded song
3. Play the pre-recorded version of the song
4. Wait for Shazam to work its algorithm and in a few minutes, the title of the song will be displayed on the screen

This method will work for only pre-recorded songs or the original song. It doesn’t work when you sing or hum the song into the microphone. Also, Shazam can identify almost every song in the world.

How to Find A Song Without Knowing the Name or Lyrics Using Midomi (A Music Search Engine)

Unlike the Shazam where you have to get the recorded song before you will be able to identify the song, Midomi doesn’t work that way.

It is worth noting that, it is not always that you will be able to find the recorded song and in such situations, your best chance is to sing or hum. That is the reason why you have Midomi.

Midomi is a music search engine that allows you to search for a song using sound input. Currently, Midomi can only be used on the web and is FREE of charge.

To use Midomi, all you need to do is to visit the official Midomi website and follow the simple on-screen steps. You should sing the song or hum the tune for at least 10 seconds (this will increase the accuracy).

Afterward, Midomi will compare the hum or the song with its large music database. After a few seconds, all the music that matches your song will be listed for you.

The steps to follow are pretty simple and straightforward. No matter your computer literacy level, you will be able to do it.

Apart from Shazam and Midomi, there are some other tools you can use to find a song without knowing the name or lyrics. You can try the following:

• MusicID (a free music-finding app)
• Musicpedia (an open music encyclopedia)
• WhatZatSong.com (a community website for identifying music)

Conclusion

The five (5) tools/apps provided to you in this article are supposed to help you find any song without knowing the name or the lyrics. Interestingly, apart from Shazam, all the other tools/apps given to you can be used at no cost.

If you try one tool and it doesn’t work for you, you can try the other tool. Besides, it is free of charge; all you need is an internet connection and you are good to go.
