If you’re not aware already, Dashlane is a password manager that competes with the likes of 1Password and LastPass. It’s actually my preferred password manager because of its absolutely stellar UI and functionality. But interestingly enough, it has agreed to let Open YOLO work with any password manager so you don’t have to use Dashlane to reap the benefits of the API. Security Now you’re probably thinking about security. Do all these Android apps who use this API to log me in suddenly get access to my passwords?...

However I feel a bit annoyed when I have to use my other hand to pull down the notification drawer, which is nearly inaccessible with just one hand. It’s even more annoying when that second hand is occupied with other things like a coffee mug or a grocery bag. My point is, it would be nice to get a hold of the incoming notifications from a spot on the screen that I can reach with a single hand....
Because of all this, encryption tools are gaining value every day, especially if they are fast, accessible and easy to use. Today we take a look at two of these tools: Encrypto and Hider 2.

Finally, Google has taken note and is looking to solve this problem. Android Messages received a much needed major update some time ago with a slew of smaller updates. Google is also working hard to implement RCS (Rich Communication Services), and has partnered with many manufacturers, like Samsung, and carriers for the same. While RCS is still a work in progress, Android Messages has come a long way. Let’s see how it fares against Facebook Messenger which boasts of over 1 billion active monthly users....
But what about Flickr, the photo sharing service that started it all? Not that it has just been sitting in a corner, mad at Instagram stealing its candy. It has, albeit slowly, kept upgrading its offerings. It has done it again this time. But not in the way I would have imagined. Instagram Like Photo Feed The biggest change you’ll see on the new Flickr 3.0 app (iPhone, Android) is how the photos are presented....

In a version of Android 4.3, Google snuck in a tool called App Ops. It was basically a permissions manager. Geeks got really excited about it. But it didn’t last. The dream was broken. Google had decided. Your information is what it wanted and it wanted all of it. Giving the user the power choose what data to reveal was off the table. It would make Google too weak. And if there’s one thing that Google isn’t, it’s weak....

Well, it’s a rare question a smartphone user would ever ask. But, my brother did. He accidentally deleted some useful PDF files on his Android phone. I suggested him to use Dumpster, a nice little app to restore accidently deleted files and also works like a Recycle Bin for Android. But, the question still remains. Why Android or iOS doesn’t have an inbuilt Recycle bin? Well, let’s first see how the recycle bin works on a PC....

This kind of targeting is creepy, intriguing and (usually) effective, all at the same time. However, the fact is that Google makes a large portion of their money from advertising and they probably don’t intend to stop targeted advertising anytime soon. Be this troubling to you or not, Google Ads are here to stay. So, how exactly do Google’s all seeing eyes work? Google Ad Targeting Contextual Targeting With this type of targeting, ads are displayed to people based on the type of content on a website....
Safari alternatives like Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge already offer similar functions. Google relies on Chrome themes to change the browser avatar, while Microsoft Edge has Bing daily wallpapers to freshen up the Edge home look. Apple’s implementation is somewhere between the two rivals. In the screenshots below, we will showcase Safari for iPhone, but you can apply the same steps on the iPad.
