Microsoft PowerPoint gives you the ability to rotate text to better fit your presentation's slide. You can rotate text by inputting an exact degree or you can go off-script and rotate text by hand. Here's how.

Rotating text by hand is as simple as clicking and dragging your mouse. First, open PowerPoint and insert a text box by clicking the "Text Box" option in the "Text" group of the "Insert" tab.

Your cursor will turn into a downward-pointing arrow. Click and drag your mouse to draw the text box and then type text.

After you've typed your text, click and drag the curved arrow above the text box to rotate the text.

Rotating text by hand is good if you have an idea of the position the text should be without needing to have the text at an exact degree. However, in some cases, you may require the text to be at a specific degree, in which case you can specify the number.

To do so, click and highlight the text box you want to rotate. Next, in the "Format" tab, click the "Rotate" option in the "Arrange" group.

A drop-down menu will appear with a few options to rotate your text. The first two options will rotate the text box right or left by 90 degrees from its current position. The next two options will flip the text box vertically or horizontally, respectively. If you want to input an exact degree, click "More Rotation Options."

The "Format Shape" pane will open on the right-hand side of the window. Click the up and down arrows in the "Rotation" box to adjust the degree in which the text is rotated, or just type the measurement number.

The text box will now rotate to the inputted degree.

Now that you know how to rotate text in PowerPoint, you're one step closer to creating the perfect slide for your presentation. Note that you can use these same steps to rotate any object in PowerPoint—it's not just for text!

If you use a desktop computer/laptop, you might know about the 32-bit and 64-bit architecture. On the desktop, depending on the type of operating system you are using, you probably have seen 32-bit and 64-bit options available whenever you download software.

With the improvements in hardware architecture, we are now seeing these terms used even on Android devices. Smartphones with 32-bit and 64-bit processors aren't a new thing. They have been around for a few years now, and we don't care to know about the architecture used in a smartphone processor, which is the main thing to impact the device's performance.

In short and simple words, a 64-bit processor is more capable than a 32-bit processor. It is because a 64-bit processor can fetch and handle more data at once. So, now the important question is, 'Is my device running a 32 or 64bit operating system?'.

Well, if a 64-bit processor powers your Android device, it will be running on a 64-bit version of Android. Similarly, if it's using a 32-bit processor, it will likely have a 32-bit version of Android. For more details, check out the article Difference Between 32-bit and 64-bit Smartphones.

How to See When Apps Access Your Camera and Microphone on Android

Privacy is a big topic when it comes to mobile devices. iPhones and iPads show little orange and green indicator icons when apps access the device's camera or microphone. Here's an Android app that can do the same.

Like the LED light on a webcam, the iPhone and iPad show colored dots in the status bar when an app is accessing the camera or microphone. Android shows when apps are accessing your location, but it lacks these indicators.

RELATED: What Are the Orange and Green Dots on an iPhone or iPad?

The app we'll be using to bring this functionality over to Android is called "Access Dots." It mimics the colored dots that are present on iPhone and iPad. The app is easy to set up and gives you more information about what apps are doing in the background.

First, install "Access Dots – iOS 14 cam/mic access indicators" from the Google Play Store on your Android phone or tablet.

When you first open the app, you'll be greeted by a toggle to enable Access Dots. Turn it on to get started.

toggle the switch on

Toggling the switch will bring you to the Android Accessibility settings menu. In order for Access Dots to work, we'll need to allow it to run as an Accessibility Service. Select it from the list of installed apps.

select access dots

Next, enable "Use Access Dots" to proceed with the feature.

toggle on use access dots

A pop-up will ask you to confirm that you want to grant Access Dots permission to be on your device. Tap "Allow" if you're okay with that.

Now go back to the Access Dots app. The feature is already running, but you'll probably want to do some tweaking. Tap the gear icon to open its settings.

First, you can change the color of the dots by tapping the circles and choosing a different color from the picker.

Next, you can decide where you would like the indicator dot to appear. Select one of the locations (Custom location requires an in-app purchase.).

select a position

Lastly, use the slider to adjust the size of the dot.

Besides the indicator dot, the app also keeps a log of apps that have accessed your camera and/or microphone. From the Access Dots main screen, tap the clock icon to see the history.

How to Use Shortcuts Directly From iPhone and iPad Home Screen

Posted: 31 Dec 2020 09:08 AM PST

There is a myriad of ways to launch a shortcut, including from the shortcuts app, Siri, and widgets. But the fastest way is by using a home screen shortcut. Here's how to use shortcuts directly from the iPhone and iPad home screen.

There's a clear benefit in launching shortcuts directly from the home screen. If you are running iOS 14.3 and iPadOS 14.3 or higher, you can run and use shortcuts without actually opening the Shortcuts app. If it's a headless, interaction-free shortcut, the shortcut will just run on its own and you'll see a notification.

If it's an interactive shortcut, you'll see a compact UI card at the top of the screen where you can make selections, enter data, and more. The Shortcuts widget also provides the same functionality, but it takes up a lot of space. You can have four shortcut icons in place of a single shortcut widget.

You can add a shortcut to the home screen (with a custom name and icon) from the Shortcuts app.

Open the "Shortcuts" app on your iPhone or iPad (You can do it quickly using the Universal Search feature.).

Go to the "My Shortcuts" tab and tap the three-dot menu button of the shortcut that you want to add to your home screen.

Tap the three-dot menu button from the top-right corner of the screen.

From the "Details" screen, select the "Add to Home Screen" button.

On this page, you can customize the shortcut icon and its name. Tap the icon to change it.

You can add an icon from the Files app, or you can select a photo from the Photos app.  In this example, we will use the Photos app. Tap the "Choose Photo" option.

Select the photo that you want to use as an icon.

You can now zoom in or out of the photo if you want. Then tap the "Choose" button.

You can change the name of the shortcut if you want. Once you're done, select the "Add" button.

The shortcut will now be added to the home screen. Tap the shortcut icon on your home screen to run the shortcut.

If you no longer have a need for the shortcut, simply press and hold the shortcut icon, and choose the "Delete Bookmark" option.

From the pop-up message, tap the "Delete" button. The shortcut will now be removed from your home screen.


Third-party shortcuts are the best part of using the Shortcuts app. You can add additional functionality to your iPhone or iPad without doing anything! Here's how to find and add awesome third-party shortcuts.
