Give Your Iphone Text Some Privacy

We all have those conversations we do not want people stumbling on when they happen to come in contact with our phones. If you use an iPhone, here are some iOS tips that can help you keep your conversations private.



  1. Remove Lock Screen Alerts
Chances are that you already have a lock screen, touch ID or Face ID of you’re reading this. You can take it a step further by turning off lock screen notifications for when messages come in. This way, no one will accidentally see the messages you’ve sent.
  1. Automatically Delete Old Messages
You can do this by going to the message history area of your message settings. You can select the duration of time you want to keep messages—30 days to 1 year—and this way you don’t have to worry about people reading old texts.
  1. Text From Your iPhone Exclusively
This is for people who have multiple devices connected to their iMessage account. You can turn off Text Message Forwarding in your message settings so messages come into your iPhone alone. This way you don’t have to worry about someone picking up your iPad to read messages.
  1. Filter Texts From Unknown Senders
If you don’t want text notifications from unknown numbers, you can turn on Filter Unknown Senders in your message settings. This way you stop getting random texts pop up as notifications.

Nokia brings back the "8110" that appeared in d matrix

It’s easy to forget that Nokia was once one of the biggest phone companies in the world. In 1999, it was so popular that one of its devices, the Nokia 8110, appeared in the first Matrix movie. Now, the curvy handset nicknamed the banana phone is back. As well as unveiling a slew of  new handsets  at MWC, HMD Global, which creates Nokia-branded phones under license, showed off the new Nokia 8110 4G at the event. As it did with last year’s  Nokia 3310 , the company has updated the classic handset for modern users, though it is still a relatively cheap feature phone that’s likely to appeal mostly to retro fans—HMD even referred to it as a “vacation phone.” The new 8110 retains its original slider and curve and will be available in traditional black or banana yellow colors. It comes with KaiOS—a fork of Firefox’s now  discontinued  Linux-based mobile operating system—and uses HTML5 apps. Owners get Google Assistant, Maps, and Search, along with Facebook a...
