If you’re coming from an Android device, the one thing that you’ll miss the most on an iPhone is the back button.

Let’s face it — money rules this crazy world, so not stressing about it is pretty essential. Money problems have been around

How to See Who’s Typing in The Status Bar on Your iPhone (Video)

Admit it, we all become impatient when someone’s typing a message to us. Maybe it’s a message from someone you love or maybe it’s just someone you need a quick response from so you can finish making plans for the day. Either way, being impatient is obvious. If you have iMessage on your iPhone, you now have a Cydia tweak that lets you see who’s typing in the status bar on your iPhone instead of having to be looking

How to Change How Siri Pronounces Words on Your iPhone

If you’re like me, constantly texting into your phone simply doesn’t cut it. It wastes valuable time, and, let’s be honest, I feel like I’m already getting arthritis in my thumbs from all that unnecessary movement. I want hands-free answers about the weather, traffic, or nearest pawn shop while cooking or walking my dog. That’s not too much to ask, is it? Enter Siri, the Answer Queen of technology. Siri’s pretty smart. She even cracks

Comparison Between Cortana, Siri, & Google Now

Siri first introduced us to the world of technological personal assistants, and all of our collective minds were blown. Hell yeah, I wanna talk to my phone! However, Google soon gave Apple a run for its money by introducing Google Now. And now, with the introduction of Windows 10, Cortana has moved up the ladder and joined the ranks of top-notch AI.

No matter the amount of functionality you get from your device, you always want more. Don’t worry, it’s not just you, we all do it.

While you get to add four icons in the dock on an iPhone, for some users, that’s just not

How to Turn Off the Apple Watch Stand Notifications

Word on the street is that “sitting is the new smoking,” and one needn’t look further than Brian Wilson’s bedridden years to find some validation in this aphorism. If only there had been some kind of system in place to encourage Wilson to stand up and walk around once every hour… well, Apple may be 40 years too late to help the genius behind Pet Sounds, but they may have just the solution for the stationarily-inclined among us today. Time to Stand

How to Send Gifs to People Easily from Your iPhone (Video)

If you don’t already know, one of my favorite features of iOS 8 was the ability to add your own custom keyboards. A feature, that I feel has been missing from iOS for a long time, that adds a ton of value to the end user. From keyboards that allow you to type easier with one hand, to keyboards that allow you to swipe across the keys to form words instead of tapping them out, to

7 Best Apple Watch Games

In all our wildest dreams of future technologies, who would’ve guessed that we’d remain beholden to our damn tamagotchi pets?! It’s 2015 and according to Back to the Future II, we’re already knee deep in the future, and yet without fail, we continually pause upon the threshold of progressive technologies to collectively reminisce of the good old days of gaming. And so it remains that with the Apple Watch this nostalgic cycle continues. But today is not a day for wistful reminiscence. Conversely, we are
