| How to Create Emoji Mash-Ups Using Gboard Posted: 21 Oct 2020 08:41 AM PDT
Emoji convey emotions and reactions when words just can't cut it. There are hundreds of emoji to choose from, but what if you could mash them together and create new ones? That's exactly what Gboard can do. The Gboard feature is called "Emoji Kitchen" and, at this writing, it's available only on Android. There's a chance it will come to iPhone and iPad later, but Google has yet to confirm availability. The feature allows you to select pairs of emoji and mash them together. It also suggests random pairings with some hilarious and bizarre results. First, you'll need an Android phone or tablet and the Gboard keyboard app. You'll also need to set Gboard as your default keyboard. RELATED: How to Change the Keyboard on Your Android Phone Next, navigate to an app that allows you to share images. The Emoji Kitchen feature doesn't support all apps (like Slack), but it typically works with messengers and social media apps, like Twitter and Facebook. With the keyboard open, tap the Emoji icon left of the space bar.
If the app supports Emoji Kitchen, you'll see a blank canvas at the top of the keyboard.
Select the first emoji you want for your mash-up. A few will auto-generate and appear in the Emoji Kitchen section.
Select the second emoji, and your custom mash-up will appear at the left of the top section, with more suggestions on the right. If you select the same emoji twice, you'll get an "intensified" version.
Select the mash-up you want to use, and it will appear in the text box so you can share it.
The Emoji Kitchen creations aren't actually emoji; they're "stickers" created by Gboard. So, sharing a mash-up is the same as sharing an image.
As we mentioned previously, the behavior of Emoji Kitchen is dependent on the app you're using. What you see might not be exactly the same as the images above if the app doesn't support the features. There are tons of crazy mash-ups you can make with Gboard. Have fun with it and see what you can come up with!  |

| How to Install Windows 10’s October 2020 Update (20H2) Posted: 20 Oct 2020 05:57 PM PDT
Windows 10's October 2020 Update (20H2) was released on October 20, 2020—kind of. As usual, Microsoft is slowly rolling out the update to small numbers of PCs at a time, letting people choose to install it and see how it works on their PCs. If you're not in a rush, we recommend you wait until Windows Update automatically offers the update to your PC. This ensures the update is as stable as possible before you get it. Here is Microsoft's official list of the current known issues with the update. How to Get the Update from Windows UpdateAs of October 20, 2020, Microsoft says this update will appear in Windows Update—for some devices. To find it, head to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update. Click "Check for Updates." If the update is available, you'll see a message saying so and you can click "Download and install" to install it. Windows will download the update. When the download is complete, Windows will notify you and you can choose the time you want to finish the installation and reboot your computer. If you don't see the update, you may need to wait some more time—Windows is putting a "safeguard hold" on devices with compatibility issues so they won't install the update until the problems have been fixed.
RELATED: What’s New in Windows 10’s October 2020 Update (20H2), Available Now How to Force an Upgrade to the October 2020 UpdateMicrosoft recommends waiting until Windows Update offers the update on your PC. If you don't see the update, it's possible your PC has a compatibility issue that should be fixed before you install the update. But, if you want to install the update anyway, that's a choice you can make. Warning: We recommend against doing this, as you're skipping part of the testing process. You may experience bugs or other problems. To skip Microsoft's gradual rollout process, visit Microsoft's Download Windows 10 page. Click "Download Now" to download the Update Assistant and run the downloaded EXE file. You'll see a message telling you which version of Windows 10 you're running. It will say the latest version of Windows 10 is version 2009, which is the October 2020 Update. To go ahead with the update, click "Update Now" to install it. This skips any "holds" Windows Update may have to prevent your PC from upgrading. It will download the update and will eventually prompt you to restart your PC.
If you encounter a problem, you can roll back to your old version of Windows 10 from Settings > Update & Security > Recovery. However, you must do this within the first ten days after installing the update. Here's how to uninstall a big Windows 10 update.  |
| How to Create iPhone and iPad Wallpapers Using Shortcuts Posted: 20 Oct 2020 11:14 AM PDT
A custom wallpaper goes really well with custom app icons and custom widgets. You don't need to be a designer to create your own solid-color or gradient wallpaper. All it takes is the Shortcuts app on your iPhone and iPad. Using the WallCreator shortcut from MacStories, you can generate a solid-color or a gradient wallpaper right on your iPhone or iPad. You can generate the wallpaper randomly, or you can specify a specific color. As shortcuts go, WallCreator is incredibly simple to use. It automatically figures out which device you're using and it generates a wallpaper that's the perfect size so you don't need to know the screen resolution of your iPhone or iPad. What's cool is that the shortcut supports both the Hex code and plain English names for a color. So, if you want to make a top to bottom wallpaper with a purple and blue color, you can do so in just a couple of seconds.
Before you get started, you'll need to enable the Untrusted Shortcuts feature for the Shortcuts app. This setting lets you run shortcuts downloaded from the internet. RELATED: How to Allow “Untrusted Shortcuts” on iPhone and iPad Once that's taken care of, open the WallCreator shortcut link in Safari (or the default browser of your choice). Then, tap the "Get Shortcut" button.
This action will open the shortcut in the Shortcuts app. Scroll to the bottom of the page and tap the "Add Untrusted Shortcut" button.
The shortcut will now be added to the "My Shortcuts" tab. From here, tap the "WallCreator" shortcut to start using it.
The first step is to choose the wallpaper type. Here, you can select a random color, random gradient, or you can specify a solid color or gradient colors. Generating a random wallpaper is quite simple. For this example, let's create a diagonal gradient. Choose the "Gradient – Diagonal" option.
Enter the first color name or the Hex code and then tap the "Done" button.
Next, enter the second color name or Hex code, and again, tap the "Done" button.
You will now see the preview of the wallpaper. Here, tap the "Done" button.
If this is the first time you're using the shortcut, WallCreator will ask for access to your photos. Tap the "OK" button to grant the shortcut permission to your images.
From the next banner, tap the "Yes, Save It" option to save the wallpaper to your Photos library.
Once the wallpaper is saved, tap the "OK" button to end the shortcut process.
You can repeat this process to create as many wallpapers as you want. Once you have created a wallpaper, it's time to make it the wallpaper on your iPhone or iPad. To do this, open the "Photos" app and navigate to the image. Here, tap the Share button from the bottom-left corner of the screen.
Now, choose the "Use As Wallpaper" option.
From the next screen, tap the "Set" button.
You can now choose if you want to set the wallpaper only for your lock screen, home screen, or both.
And now, the wallpaper is set. Want to learn more about Shortcuts? Take a look at our iPhone Shortcuts guide.  |
