📶 No bars: When your cell service is wonky, switch your phone to Airplane mode, wait a few seconds, then change it back. This will reconnect you to the nearest cell tower. Sweet!
🕵️♀️ Oops, they did it again: The fertility app Glow let slip details on 25 million peeps — names, selfies, the works. Kudos to security researcher Ovi Liber for catching the mess. Glow’s reply? Crickets. Ladies, remove the app now.
What’s the most expensive phone number ever sold: A.) 222-2222, B.) 555-5555, C.) 666-6666 or D.) 8888-8888?

OK, not all parents are going all out, but 20% of kids now get money and a gift for each lost tooth. I got 50 cents!
Speed up your phone
Is your phone’s browser a complete mess? Those tabs running in the background eat up valuable memory. There’s a quicker fix than closing tabs one at a time.
On iPhone:
- Open Safari. Tap and hold the icon that looks like two overlapping squares. From the pop-up, choose Close All Tabs. Done!
On Android:
- It’s even easier if you use Chrome. Just say, “Hey, Google, close all tabs.” If you’re using a different browser, there’s usually a menu in the top right corner. Look for the Close All Tabs option. That’s it!
🏁 Speed Rx: Do this once a week to keep your phone’s performance top-notch.
Relationships are like smartphones. You look at your iPhone 8 and think, “It used to be a lot quicker to turn this thing on.”
Goodbye passwords, hello you: Imagine your face, voice or gait being the key to everything — your work computer, phone login, you name it. Biometrics could replace old-school passwords and badges. But what about privacy? You can’t exactly get a new face or fingerprints if someone hacks in.
📞 Stay skeptical: In Maine, a man lost $9,000 to a fake-cop scam. The crook used caller ID spoofing to make the call look real, then scared the guy with a story about identity theft. The giveaway: Real cops don’t ask for bitcoin.
📍 Where am I? You can ask your smartphone that — really! So handy on vacation or if you’re lost. You’ll get your address and location on a map, which you can then share. Just say, “Hey, Siri” or “Hey, Google,” followed by, “Where am I?”
