| How to Send Selfie Stickers on Instagram Posted: 05 Dec 2020 09:00 AM PST  So you have tried sending emoji, stickers, and even GIFs as responses. But nothing quite captures your exact expression. Instagram DMs' selfie stickers solve this very important problem. Here's how to send selfie stickers (with animated emojis) on Instagram. Using Instagram's selfie stickers feature, you can create a short, expressive, animated sticker. You can record your expression or use an animated emoji overlay (with hearts, laughter emoji, and more). This feature is available with Instagram's cross-platform messaging update that brought the ability to message Facebook friends to Instagram DMs. You can get this update from the Settings menu in your Instagram app for iPhone or Android. RELATED: How to Message a Facebook Friend From Instagram Open the "Instagram" app and go to your "Profile" tab. Here, tap the hamburger menu button from the top-right corner of the screen. From there, go to Settings > Update Messaging.
Here, tap the "Update" button to get the new features.
You'll now see a new icon for Instagram DMs in the top-right corner of the Instagram home screen. Tap the icon to open all your conversations.
Now, choose a conversation.
Here, tap the "+" icon next to the text box to see all options.
Select the GIF icon.
From the list, select the "Selfie" feature.
You'll now see a new option for recording and sending a selfie sticker. Hold your phone in a position so that your entire face is visible in the sticker preview. Instagram automatically replaces the background with a colorful gradient. Try out an emoji overlay by choosing an emoji. When you're ready, tap the "Shutter" button to record the emoji (you can also set a timer).
Once recorded, the selfie sticker will replay in a loop (similar to the Boomerang feature). RELATED: How to Trim, Slow Down, and Edit Instagram Boomerangs If you aren't happy with it, tap the "Retake" button to try again. If you liked this sticker, tap the "Save Sticker" button to save it. This way, you can reuse the same sticker again and again. Once you're happy, tap the "Send" button to share the sticker to the chat.
The sticker will now play in the chat.
You can repeat this process to create and send more selfie stickers. Saved stickers will show up in the "Saved Stickers" section below the recording feature. You can tap any saved sticker to instantly send it in the chat.

| How to Add a Traffic Report Using Google Maps Posted: 05 Dec 2020 07:52 AM PST
Traffic reports in Google Maps allow you to quickly determine if the route you're taking is busy or not. If you're a passenger on the road, you can update Google Maps by adding your own traffic reports. Here's how. These instructions will work for all mobile users with the Google Maps app on Android and iPhone. It's important, however, to only attempt this if it is safe to do so, or you may put other road users at risk. This feature is appropriate for a passenger in a vehicle to use, for instance. To start, open the "Google Maps" app and search for directions using the search bar at the top of the screen. Once you're in the navigation mode, tap the route information at the bottom of the interface, containing the ETA, distance, and arrival times.
This will bring up a menu with additional options, including the ability to view written directions, as well as view a satellite map. To add a new traffic report, however, tap the "Add A Report" option at the top of the menu.
There are several available live traffic situations that you can report using the "Add A Report" feature. For instance, if you're stuck in traffic, you could select the "Congestion" option. Alternatively, if a lane on the highway is closed, you might prefer to select the "Lane Closure" option. Tapping any of these options will add that alert to your current location.
These options will vary in name and availability, depending on your locale. For instance, U.S. users will see "Speed Trap" as an option to alert other users to law enforcement speed checks, while U.K. users will see "Mobile Speed Camera" instead. If you've added a report by accident, you'll have a few seconds to reverse it before the report is added to Google Maps. Tap "Undo" at this point if you've added a report in error.
Once a few seconds have passed, the report will be added to Google Maps for other users to view. When other users pass through the same area, an alert will appear to alert them about the disruption, as long as the user hasn't disabled Google Maps traffic notifications.  |
| How to Change the Video Playback Speed on Netflix Posted: 05 Dec 2020 06:15 AM PST We often sit through an episode or movie on Netflix, even though it feels like a drag. Sometimes all it needs is to be sped up. With Netflix's playback speed tool, you can increase the movie or show's pace. Here's how to use it. Visit the Netflix website on your computer, log in to your account, and play a TV show or movie you'd like to watch. Once the video loads and starts playing, move your cursor to reveal the player controls at the bottom of the screen.
Hover your cursor over the button that looks like a speedometer in the bottom-right corner.
A new "Playback Speed" menu window will appear. Pick one of the five different speed presets to easily increase or decrease your Netflix video's pace. You don't have to tweak any of your Netflix settings to access this feature. It should be available by default, but in case it isn't, Netflix may not be offering it in your country yet. You can also try logging out and back in again. This setting doesn't apply across your Netflix profile and is restricted to the individual viewing session. So if you want to keep the playback speed at a certain pace, you'll have to adjust it every time you play a video. The subtitles will automatically catch up to the new playback speed. Therefore, you don't have to worry about missing out on dialogue if you rely on the on-screen text. Netflix's playback speed tool is also available on your phone. First, ensure that you have the latest version of Netflix on your Android, iPhone, or iPad. Next, launch the Netflix app and play an episode or movie. Tap the "Speed" button at the bottom-left corner to reveal playback speed controls.
You can now adjust Netflix's playback speed, either to speed up or slow down the pace.
Similarly, you can personalize the look of subtitles on Netflix and even control your playback with just your keyboard.  |

| How to Automatically Revoke Permissions for Unused Android Apps Posted: 04 Dec 2020 11:56 AM PST When you are no longer actively using an app, it's best to revoke any sensitive permission you may have granted it. Thankfully, on your Android phone or tablet, you don't have to manually go on about doing that. Introduced in Android 11, the permission feature offers a handy option that automatically revokes permissions from an app you haven't opened in a while. This setting can't be applied globally throughout the OS, which means you will have to enable it separately for each app. We would recommend switching it on, especially for apps from developers you don't trust. Here's how to access it. Before we begin, note that every Android manufacturer tweaks the name of various menus and settings. The following steps and screenshots will cover the process on a Samsung phone. Although the names might be different, the process will be very similar. Open the "Settings" app on your Android smartphone or tablet. You can find it either in the app drawer or by tapping the gear icon in the notification panel.
Select "Apps and Notifications."
Inside, tap the "See All Apps" option.
Locate the app whose permissions you'd like to have automatically revoked after a few months for non-use. Tap the "Permissions" option.
Toggle the "Remove Permissions If App Isn't Used" setting found at the bottom of the page.
Now, if you don't use this app for a few months, your phone or tablet will cut off its link to all the data modules and sensors it's allowed to access. If you pick, WhatsApp, it will lose permissions to access the camera, microphone, local storage, and more. The set of permissions this setting applies to will vary based on the app. Further, it's worth noting it's only available in a restricted form for system-level apps. Therefore, for instance, you can't instruct Android to automatically revoke Gmail's access to your phone's contacts and calendar. Google doesn't specify when Android will automatically revoke app permissions between uses. But down the road, when and if this setting is triggered for any app, Android will notify you and also offer an option to uninstall the app. Want better control over your smartphone privacy? There's more you can do to better manage permissions on Android and how much of your data each app can read.  |
| How to Disable Google Analytics in the Nintendo Switch eShop Posted: 04 Dec 2020 10:42 AM PST
Following system update 11.0.0, Nintendo includes an option in the Switch eShop to disable sharing of data with Google Analytics in regions other than Europe and Australia. Although it is not yet clear if this represents a serious privacy issue, some users might prefer to disable it. Here's how. What is Google Analytics, and Why is it on My Switch?Google Analytics is a marketing service run by Google that anonymously collects statistics about visitors to websites (and other online services) for clients. It compiles reports about demographics and browsing habits to show online service operators how to better target potential readers or customers. At the time of writing, the only official information we have about why Nintendo now includes Google Analytics in its eShop is from the preferences pages, which mentions "Nintendo's collection of your data through Google Analytics." We do not know what data is being shared through Analytics. Nintendo's options page also reads, "This setting is enabled only on Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo Switch console," which presumably means activities on your Switch outside the eShop will not be tracked by Google Analytics. RELATED: Keep Google From Tracking Your Every Move Online How to Disable Google Analytics in the Nintendo Switch eShopFirst, power up your Nintendo Switch console and launch the eShop by selecting the shopping bag icon on the home screen.
In the eShop, select your user profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen. This will open your Nintendo eShop account information.
In the "Account Information" menu, scroll down to the bottom of the main settings screen and locate the "Google Analytics Preferences" section. Select the "Change" button.
On the Google Analytics preferences page, change the toggle to "Don't Share" and then select the "Change" button.
You will see a "Your settings have been changed" message. Tap or select "OK" to leave the menu.
After, you will see that your Google Analytics Preferences are set to "Don't Share." You can now exit the Account Information screen by pressing the "X" button on your right Joy-Con or exit the eShop all together by pressing the Home button on your controller.  |
