![]() ![]() I have heard it all, from people who insist that they have an uncrackable system (putting “amaz0n” at the end of one password and “faceb00k” at the end of the other is less secure than you think) to people who swear blind that they have memorised a unique password for every site they visit (until they are pushed, when they admit that yes, they have one password they reuse for “unimportant” sites). ![]() If you don’t use a password manager, your digital life is insecure. Photograph: Luis Alvarez/Getty Images Set up a password manager You might be surprised how easily hackers can break your ‘uncrackable’ passwords. You could save yourself money – how many of us are paying for extra cloud storage to avoid tackling this mess head-on? And you would be reducing your carbon footprint too. And why not trim your selfie folder to just the greatest thirst traps, chucking those sunsets that don’t quite match the reality of being there. Screenshots are a good target, as is clearing out all but one of every image of which you took 15 versions. But if you want a photo library that serves a purpose beyond hoarding, you will have to delete some pictures. ![]() So it’s harder than ever to find the pictures that we want to look at.ĪI helps a bit: Apple is moderately good at letting you search for pictures by who is in them, what they are of, or where they were taken Google does the same job better, with a privacy trade-off. It’s easier than ever to take photos, and have more of them than ever are stored on our devices. A good rule of thumb is, only give notification access to apps that will send you real messages from real people. So head to your notification settings, and search for the apps you actually want to hear from. You dismiss the notification and get on with your day, but the app keeps showing up – never enough to prompt you to action, but frustrating all the same. Then nine months go by, and suddenly it is flashing up a push alert for a 10% off code for an annual subscription if you refer three friends. It asks for notification access and you grant it. We all do it: it’s the honeymoon period with a new app, freshly downloaded, full of possibility. If you catch it just right this will open the folder – it sometimes takes two or three tries before it registers, and tapping the icon in the center does nothing.So why not introduce a digital component to the great tidy-up? Your laptop’s downloads folder might not literally collect dust, but whether physical or digital, the longer you leave things to fester, the harder they become to eventually deal with. ![]() While keeping it held, use another finger to tap on the very top edge of the folder along the top of the screen. With one finger, tap and hold a folder to start moving it. Move it to the top row of icons – this exploit only works if the folder is near the status bar along the top of the screen.Īnd now for the ‘glitch’ part of the tutorial. First of all, you’ll need to make sure you already have a folder set up to put the secondary folders into. You can create regular folders by dragging apps onto each other, and fill the folders by dropping apps onto them. Then you can drag while keeping your finger on screen to move the icon around. It takes advantage of a glitch within iOS to unlock some extra functionality.īefore we get to the serious stuff, a quick reminder: to reorganize the home screen you press and hold an app icon until everything starts to shake. Though not an official feature of the operating system, if you’re running iOS 8.4 or above there is a relatively simple way to nest folders inside of one another. Nested folders can help you organize that massive games collection ![]()
