Enhance your tech experience without breaking the bank! Often, all it takes is discovering hidden features or learning new techniques. For example, iPhone users can unlock the power of "Back Tap" for customized actions.

Ready to elevate your tech skills? Here are solutions to common tech questions:

Sharing Online Content Effectively

Tired of screenshots? Direct your recipients to precise webpage locations instead of making them search. In Chrome, highlight the desired text and select "Copy link to highlight." Sharing this link takes them directly to the highlighted section.

This trick also works for YouTube videos! To share a specific moment, navigate to the desired time, right-click, and choose "Copy video URL at current time." Alternatively, use the "Share" button, check "Start at," input the time, and copy the link.

Discreetly Reading Text Messages

Want to read texts without triggering read receipts? Enable notifications to preview messages on your home screen. Another option is to activate airplane mode and disable Wi-Fi before opening the message, preventing the sender from knowing you've read it.

Additionally, ensure "read receipts" are disabled in your messaging app settings.

Managing Digital Memories

Want to control which photos appear in your digital memories? Both Facebook and Google Photos offer ways to hide specific photos without deleting them.

On Facebook: Access Memories through the menu, then adjust settings to control notifications and hide memories associated with specific people or dates.

On Google Photos: In settings, navigate to Memories and select "Hide people and pets" to hide photos related to specific individuals.

As a bonus tip, consider removing interior photos of your home from real estate websites for added security.
