If you use the Twitter app from a cellular data connection on your iPhone or Android device, you might worry about data usage—there are a lot of cat videos out there. Luckily, Twitter provides an easy-to-enable "data saver" mode to reduce data usage. Here's how to turn it on.

First, open the Twitter app. In the upper-left corner of the screen, tap your profile picture (on Android) or the hamburger button (on iPhone) to open a menu.

In Twitter, click the hamburger icon or your profile photo.

In the menu that appears, tap "Settings and privacy."

In Twitter settings, tap "Settings and privacy."

In "Settings and privacy," scroll down and tap "Data usage."

In Twitter settings, tap "Data usage."

In "Data usage," locate the "Data saver" option and place a checkmark beside it (on Android) or flip the switch beside it (on iPhone) to turn it on.

When enabled, Twitter's "Data saver" setting will prevent videos from playing automatically, and lower-quality images will load.

In Twitter settings, turn on "Data saver."

After that, tap the back button twice to leave Settings. Twitter's Data saver feature is now active.

If you find yourself with a higher-bandwidth connection in the future, you can disable Data saver by revisiting Settings and privacy > Data usage and turning the "Data saver" option off. Happy tweeting!

Part of PowerPoint's charm is its ability to use various graphics to illustrate points to an audience. A commonly used graphic is the pyramid. You'll often see it in presentations about nutrition. Here's how to create a pyramid in Microsoft PowerPoint.

The first thing you have to do is insert the actual pyramid in your slide. To do so, open PowerPoint and click "Insert." In the "Illustrations" group, click "SmartArt."

In the "Choose a SmartArt Graphic" menu that appears, click "Pyramid" near the bottom.

Next, click the pyramid graphic you like best. We'll be using the "Basic Pyramid" graphic for our example. After you select a graphic, a preview and description of it appears in a pane on the right. Click "OK" to insert the graphic.

How to Find & Join Telegram Channels On Android

Posted: 13 Feb 2021 01:18 PM PST

As of now, there are hundreds of instant messaging apps available for Android. However, out of all those, Telegram seems to be the best one. If you have been using Telegram for a while, you might know that the instant messaging app offers lots of group-specific features.

It also has a feature called 'Channels.' Via the Telegram channel, you can send a message to multiple users simultaneously. Much like Facebook groups, users need to join the Telegram channel to access the content published by one or more channel administrators.

It's worth noting that Telegram channels are entirely different from Telegram groups. Telegram groups were designed for conversation, whereas the Channels were designed for broadcasting messages to a large audience.

Unlike groups, only the channel owner or the admin can post to the channel. Telegram channels were available for anything and everything. You will find Telegram channels for news, sports, movies, music, eBooks, and more. You can download content from Telegram channels like Movies, TV shows, etc., and whatever that had been shared.

It can be frustrating when you need to restart Safari on your Mac and you lose what you've been working on because all of your tabs and windows close. Luckily, there's an easy way to make Safari restore your session every time you start the app. Here's how to set it up.

First, launch Safari on your Mac. At the top of your screen, click the "Safari" menu and select "Preferences."

In Safari, click the "Safari" menu then select "Preferences."

When the "Preferences" window appears, click the "General" tab, then locate the "Safari opens with" option. In the drop-down menu beside it, select "All windows from last session" if you want all of your windows—including your Private Browsing windows—to be restored.

If you only want your non-Private windows to be restored, select "All non-private windows from last session" in the drop-down menu.

In Safari Preferences, select "All windows from last session" from the "Safari opens with" drop-down menu.

After that, close Preferences. The next time you restart Safari, it will remember your browsing session, and all the windows and tabs you had open last time will reopen automatically. Happy browsing!

It's no secret that it can take quite some time to download games onto your PlayStation 5 (PS5). Thankfully, you can jumpstart the process and start the download process using the PlayStation smartphone app. Here's how.

Link Your PS5 to the PlayStation App

Before you can do anything with game downloads, make sure that your PS5 console is linked to the PlayStation app. To do this, open the app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device and navigate to the settings menu. You can get there by tapping the gear icon on the app's home screen.

Next, scroll down to "Console Management" and select "Link Console to App."

A list of consoles will load, displaying each PlayStation you've ever signed in to.

As long as you're signed in to your console, and the app with the same PlayStation account and your PS5 is on, it should show up on the list of consoles. Make sure it's selected from the list.

Prepare Your PS5

You'll need to turn on a setting on the PS5 itself in order to control it with the app while it's in Rest Mode.

Go to the Settings menu (by selecting the gear icon in the top-right corner of the PS5's home screen), then scroll down to "System." From there, go to "Power Saving" and select "Features Available in Rest Mode" from the submenu.

Toggle on the option to "Stay Connected to the Internet." This will allow your PS5 to update automatically while it's in standby mode. There's also a second toggle called "Enable Turning On PS5 From Network," which will allow you to turn on your PS5 with the app.

Download Games From the App

Once you've linked your console and toggled on the settings on your PlayStation 5, open the PlayStation mobile app on your smartphone or tablet and access your game library. It's the second tab from the right on the bottom of the app.

In your game library, select the game you wish to download. If you don't see it in the list of recently played games, switch to the "Purchased" list, which automatically sorts your library alphabetically.

Once you've selected a game, you'll see the option to "Download to Console." Directly below that, you'll see which console is linked to the app.

How to View a List of All the Links You’ve Clicked on Instagram

Posted: 13 Feb 2021 08:59 AM PST

When you visit a link on Instagram, it often launches in the app's built-in web viewer, which means it's not cataloged in your browser's history. Thankfully, on Instagram itself, you can view a list of all the links you've opened. Here's how to access it.

Open the Instagram app on your iPhone or Android device and head into your profile by tapping your display picture in the bottom-right corner.

Visit the profile tab on the Instagram app

Tap the three-line menu icon in the top-right corner, then select "Your Activity."

Visit the Your Activity section on Instagram app

Under the "Links" tab, you'll find every link that you've ever clicked on Instagram in reverse chronological order. You can tap any web page to revisit it.

View a list of links visited on Instagram

If you want to hide a link from the "Your Activity" section, you can long-press it and select "Hide."

Hide link from your activity on Instagram

Note: Hiding the link won't get rid of the link's information or clear your history from Instagram servers. It will only hide it from your profile. Facebook can continue to use it for personalizing your ads on its group of social apps.

At the top, there's a "Hide History" option. When you select this, it will hide your complete history of links from the "Your Activity" page. While this action is irreversible, you can still browse all these links by downloading a copy of your Instagram data.

Hide your link history on Instagram

You should also keep in mind that the "Hide History" button won't prevent any web pages that you visit in the future on Instagram from showing up on the "Your Activity" page.

What you can delete is the cache saved in the Instagram app's built-in browser on Android. To do this, tap that three-lines menu again, and this time, tap "Settings."

From there, go to Account > Browser Settings.

Change in-app browser settings on Instagram

Touch the blue "Clear" button next to "Browsing Data" to clear the cookies and cache generated from all the web pages that you've viewed on Instagram.
