How To Delete Cookies On iPhone Or Android And Boost Performance

Now that you use applications on your Android or iPhone, they start saving and caching files for easier access later on. These data are saved in an app "cache." For example, when you are using the Facebook app, it will save loaded images, videos and other pieces of the stories you have browsed so that they don't have to be loaded every single time the app needs them to display the content for you.

This saves the iPhone and Android users time and data. In this tutorial, you are going to know how to delete cookies on iPhone and Android fast and quick in order to boost your device speed and save space.

What Does Clear Cache Mean on My Phone?

Wiping all the cached (saved) data of the installed apps on your iPhone or Android device as well as clearing any and all of the settings for those apps. It is pretty much like you are resetting all apps from scratch where they will behave as if they were just installed. Deleting cookies or cache can also be very useful to fix a misbehaving app on your iPhone or Android.

If you want to delete cookies or clear data on, say, the Twitter app, you will have to log back in with your credentials. Clearing data on a game you have been using for a while would clear your saved setting and progress and take you back to the beginning as if you had never played it.

If your iPhone or Android started getting sluggish and running slow either in performance or in storage, or a particular app started to crash frequently every time you run it, then deleting cookies on your iPhone or Android is inevitable so as to make it run faster. 

You have two options to delete cookies or cache on your phone. You can either delete all cache from your Android phone at once for all apps, or you can select a specific app and wipe its cache on iPhone as well. 

How To Clear App Cache on Android?

To clear app cache on Android all at once for all apps, just tap Settings > Storage > Cached data and click on that option then confirm it like in the screenshot below.

Should you want to clear  app cache on Android for only a specific app, click on Settings > Apps then select the app which you want its cached data deleted and tap on "Clear cache".

How To Delete Cookies on iPhone?

Clearing cache on your iPhone or iPad is as easy as the way to be done with the Android phone. The same thing will be applied on iPhone as well when clearing cache. Once done, you will sign out of every single site that you were logged into before and have your saved progress in games deleted. 

To do so, tap on the Settings > General > Storage and iCloud Usage > Manage Storage then select the iPhone app which you want its cookies deleted. After that, tap on Clear App's Cache. 

      * 9 Tips To Secure Your iPhone, iPad and Android Smartphone

You are able also to reset the app and delete it from the same menu. Resetting the app is like you reinstalled it, which most of the time can solve the crash issues if you have ever faced it before. 

Eventually, clearing your app cache on Android or iPhone is always the last option when your smartphone starts acting up. should you want not to wipe all app cache on iPhone or Android manually, then you'd better launch the Google Play Store or App Store and grab your cache cleaner app to your choice.

That's How The First iPhone Appeared

When we utter the word iPhone, we necessarily have to call to mind the great inventor Steve Jobs. It started out in 2005 when the latter developed an idea of a multi-touch touchscreen and requested Apple Inc.'s designers to look in depth into it. 

The idea was to interact with a computer without having a mouse or a keyboard but rather by directly typing into the display. The project was implemented under the name of Purple 2. 

When Was The First iPhone Release Date?

Thirty months later after the project was created in 2005, the first iPhone model was secretively created in collaboration with AT&T carrier (formerly known as Cingular Wireless) costing around $150 million. 

The first original iPhone 1 was first introduced by Steve Jobs at the Macworld Conference & Expo held at Moscone West in San Francisco, California on January 9th, 2007. Five months later, The first legendary iPhone was officially released on June 29th, 2007 in the United States. It was reported then that thousands of people have been passionately waiting outside Apple's and AT&T retail stores a couple of days before the iPhone 1 release date. The records showed that around 6.1 million units were sold. By November 2007, the iPhone 1 was made available outside of the United States to several countries such as Austria, France, Germany, Ireland and the United Kingdom. 

What Are The Specifications Of The iPhone 1?

The first generation of iPhone made such a revolution in the mobile phone industry when it was invented at that time. Apple invented its first iPhone with such unbeatable new features and characteristics. 

The iPhone 1 was released with 115 mm (4.5 in) height, 61 mm (2.4 in) width and 11.6 mm (0.46 in) depth. The device weighed 135 grams, around 4.8 oz. The original iPhone 1 iOS was 1.0 with a CPU of Samsung 32-bit RISC ARM 1176JZ(F)-S v1.0, 620 MHz which was underclocked to 412 MHz and a memory of 128 MB eDRAM. 

iPhone 1 was released with 3 different internal storage 4, 8 and 16 GB. The GPU is branded PowerVR MBX Lite 3D along with a 3.7 V 1400 mAh Lithium-ion battery. As for the 3.5-inch screen, the display did support the multi-touch touchscreen. The quality of the first iPhone camera was as high as 2.0 MP with geotagging (Not GPS based). The device supported a single loudspeaker TRRS headphone jack, 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response (internal, headset) as well as connectivity of Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz), Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g) and Bluetooth 2.0.

Eventually, the iPhone 1 can be considered as a revolution in the history of smartphones not only in The United States but all around the world as well from poor to rich countries alike. And with the post-release of the first iPhone, the iPod touch invention made Apple's, even more, pioneer in its industry.

Warning: A New Video Bug Can Destroy Your iDevice

A New iPhone killer has been recently uncovered. The five-second video that causes Apple's handsets to freeze and stop running made Apple's iOS platforms quality called into question.

This new virus, which is still spreading on the web, causes damage to iPhones, iPads, and iPods when playing a malicious short video. This iPhone bug has recently spread through the Safari browsers leading to a dramatic slow down to the phone before it will completely be locked up and frozen.

The "Telegraph" newspaper  reported that the company "Everything Apple Pro" first discovered this short video which displays a person just standing near the bed and a word "Honey" written screen wide. The company added that after running that video clip, the iDevices continue to function for a while before they start to slow down rapidly and then end up crashing entirely in 10 seconds.

The preliminary tests revealed that running even a couple of seconds of the video has the same effect on the iPhone as playing the entire video clip, and that affects all iOS versions ranging from "iOS 5" and until the latest release of "iOS 10.2 beta 3 ".

However, it is not yet confirmed the exact cause of this crash but it appears that the short video is corrupt which generate a loop causing the iPhone's processor to work to exhaustion and finish all available resources and hence leading to a quick system failure. Apparently, that video crashes iPhone devices when it is run directly from a link rather than transferred as a file.

How To Protect Your iPhone From The Video Bug

Apple usually fixes such bugs through a constant iOS updates. Besides, iPhone users should be cautious when clicking on suspicious or gimmick links. If someone sends you an unknown link to an MP4 file (video) trying to prank you, and you do not know what it is or its original source, it is better not to click on it until you have identified it is safe.

How To Fix Your iPhone If You Watched The Corrupt Video

If you've already got curious and watched the video or done it by mistake, then you had your iPhone crashed and temporarily non-functional, you can revive your phone through a hard reset. To get this done, hold down the Home button and the Power button simultaneously till you iDevice shuts down. Then hold the Power button down only to have it rebooted back to normal.

9 Tips To Secure Your iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch and Android Smartphone

Smartphones are now a widespread communication, leisure and even work device.  There are a large number of work productivity apps which help get work accomplished more effectively and while on the go. However as the saying goes "with great power comes great responsibility"!  A smartphone can easily be lost or stolen and an iPad/iPod forgotten by mistake. And Cyber crooks are constantly searching for ways to compromise gadgets in order to gain access to private or sensitive information.

9 Tips To Secure Your iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch and Android smartphone

Whether you are currently using your gadgets for business or entertainment or even both, here are 9 tips to secure your commercially sensitive paperwork and personal data.

1. Set Up A Strong Password

Perhaps it is a little less practical to have to type in a password in order to log on to your device, but it is a basic way to thwart potential meddlers. Adjust your devices to immediately lock after a couple of minutes and cannot be used without the password input. Avoid using auto-complete features which recall usernames and/or passwords.  Much like any password, it should not be one that is easy to figure out or crack.  Most of SIM cards are locked by a PIN number by default (usually 0000) but you can still put a PIN or change it to ensure that crooks cannot make use of it in another phone to make calls. So creating a strong password is crucial to secure your smartphone and the rest of your gadgets. Please have a look at this post here to create an uncrackable password.

2. Download Your Applications From trustworthy App Stores

Stay away from downloading applications that are hot off the press to the market, particularly for Android devices.  Cyber crooks develop apps with malicious code that seem legitimate and genuine but can generate damage to your device.  Do not download any app unless it has a remarkably big deal of downloads and positive feedback.

Users of Windows mobile phones and iPhones are only allowed to install apps from the Marketplace or iTunes Store so that you know the application has been officially signed minimizing any threat.  Android however, as being an open source, does not comply with the same process but along with Google Play Store you can consider this list of reliable app stores too to make sure your devices stay secure and safe.

3. Increase Your Level of Privacy

Be cautious about app settings mainly when they require your location or when they prompt you to save that personal or payment information within? Do they really need that?

Even though the application needs particular information, the way it is stored may not be as secure and safe as we would  like.  Besides, it may often be offered to third parties (generally for marketing purposes) which means data is in jeopardy from inadequate security practises by these types of enterprises.

4. Maintain Applications and Device Software updated

In the same manner that computer programs and operating systems should be kept updated to keep ahead of crooks who are coming up with new techniques to exploit your system, mobile OS's and applications need to be constantly updated. Apply any available updates on a regular basis and opt for automatic updates as well. Therefore, to secure your smartphone, iPad, iPhone or whichever device you own, keep them constantly up-to-date.

5. Make use of Remote Tools

Enable remote wipe feature and employ tracing and tracking softwares.  Remote wipe options signifies in case the gadget is lost or stolen, any kind of sensitive data can be wiped which resets the device to its factory defaults.

The latest Windows Phones involve a "Find My Phone" function that can locate a lost phone, lock it and wipe it off distantly in order that no one can gain access to to the saved data. Enabling this feature on your smartphone will definitely provide your devices high security in case of loss or stealth.

6. Be mindful Of Public Wi-Fi Networks

Wi-Fi function should be disabled when not in use to prevent exposing  your devices to unwanted connections; this does extends the battery life!

If you are connecting via Wi-Fi, try to use a secured network that requires a password. In case you are using unsecure or open Wi-Fi network, steer clear of performing transactions that involve private or monetary details such as online banking or purchasing. Briefly, in order to secure your devices, I advise you to stay away from public WiFi networks except in need.

7. Understand What Links To Click On

Emails that entails malicious hyperlinks can compromise a mobile device in the same manner for a desktop computer.  If accessing a website in which personal or private information will be shared, ensure it has an 'https' instead of 'http' at the beginning of the URL. Nevertheless this is not infallible, so be certain you are using a secure network to secure your smartphone or iPhone as well. 

8. Protect Your Highly Sensitive Data

Particularly if you have sensitive personal or business oriented data on your mobile device, utilize an encryption option.  A Mobile Device Management solution which can be implemented as a cloud centered service gives software distribution, security and service management for smartphones. Needless to say, back it up. Check out the backup options offered with every device, if not applying a third party alternative.

9. Clean Up Your Device Before Discarding Or Recycling

In case your device is sold, reused, thrown away or recycled  delete any sensitive data and remove or totally erase SIM and SD cards. Doing so, this will reduce the risk of recovering your sensitive data and thus ensuring "total" security of your recycled device.

Eventually, these were the 9 tips that you may keep in mind in order to secure your Android smartphone, iPad, iPod touch and/or your iPhone from any potential online stealth by cyber crooks.

The Reason Why Deep Links Go Viral On Mobile Phones

We are living in a true revolution of technology, and more specifically the emerging trend of smartphones and massive number of applications. No matter how many apps are installed in your gadgets, but you certainly must have come across links, within a particular app, redirecting you to a specific content or to launch an app? Regardless whether you did experience it or not, let us have an idea what is all about those deep links in a mobile app.

What Is Deep Linking ?

A deep linking is a sort of a hyperlink that takes you to a particular searched and crawled content material on a specific section of a website rather than that website's homepage, or to start a native mobile app via that link. 

The majority of web links are what we call deep links or deep linking.

Deep Linking And Mobile Apps

Mоѕt straightforward, mоbilе dеер linkѕ аllоw users tо ѕhаrе соntеnt which iѕ within аn app. If уоu would likе tо ѕеnd a friеnd ѕоmе hаnd tools from thе Woodcraft Shopping, уоu саn ѕеnd thеm inside thе арр uѕing a dеер link. Without a dеер link thеу hаvе tо look fоr thе Woodcraft Shopping app, ореn thе арр tо thе homepage, thеn find those tools, hoping thеу соmе асrоѕѕ thе right ones. 

Would it bе аn Issue? 

Aѕ opposed tо mоѕt оf thе information in thе internet, written соntеnt within аррѕ iѕ nоt publicly available. Regular linkѕ don't wоrk duе tо thе fасt thаt аррѕ hаvе tо bе downloaded оn a device, аnd еvеn after thеу wеrе downloaded thеrе iѕ nо ѕtаndаrd wау tо find аnd ѕhаrе items. It'ѕ specific tо еасh аnd every app. 

Thiѕ shortage оf access аnd bаrriеr tо sharing iѕ mоrе thаn аn hassle. It produces inadequate uѕеr experiences, affects buѕinеѕѕ mеtriсѕ аnd ultimately restricts smaller developers' access tо clients. Thе final outcome iѕ a lасk оf соmреtitiоn аnd thе exact big аррѕ kеер оn dominating thе marketplace, whether оr nоt thеу аrе thе best. 

How Helpful Cаn Be A Dеер Link ? 

With dеер linking, hyperlinks directing tо a сеrtаin соntеnt within mоbilе аррѕ саn bе developed аnd shared juѕt likе it iѕ thе саѕе in thе regular web. Developers саn build bеttеr knowledge, аnd users саn effortlessly uncover interesting content. 

Hоw Dо A Dеер Linking Work ? 

Duе tо thе fасt thаt thеrе iѕ nо ѕtаndаrd fоr deeplinking (spelled without a ѕрасе аѕ well), thеrе аrе a fеw different types: 

1. Traditional Dеер Linkѕ

Traditional dеер linkѕ route with уоur арр URI -- Uniform Resource Identifier iѕ a ѕtring оf сhаrасtеrѕ uѕеd tо identify a resource -- thаt iѕ similar tо a wеb domain fоr уоur арр - instead оf https://www.cyber-pursuit.com/page, уоu receive a link thаt looks likе this: myapp://page. A lаrgе numbеr оf аррѕ аlrеаdу hаvе a URI scheme, otherwise уоu саn simply ѕign uр fоr one. 

Thе problem with traditional dеер linkѕ iѕ thаt thеу won't funсtiоn if уоu don't hаvе thе арр installed. Thе рhоnе will search fоr thе арр соntеnt аt thе аddrеѕѕ given bу thе URI scheme: if thе арр isn't installed, thе рhоnе саn't lосаtе thе соntеnt аnd will display аn error. 

2. Deferred Dеер Linkѕ 

Deferred dеер linkѕ арреаr соmраrаblе tо wеb links, however thеу wоrk in a different wау bаѕеd оn whether оr nоt аn арр iѕ installed. If thе арр iѕ installed, thеу link directly tо thе content, likе traditional dеер links. 

If thе арр iѕ nоt installed, thеn thе link will bе redirected tо thе rеlаtеd арр ѕtоrе tо download thе app, аnd recall thе соntеnt thаt a uѕеr wаѕ linkеd to. Onсе thе арр hаѕ bееn downloaded, thе uѕеr саn bе taken tо сеrtаin соntеnt instantly. Thе display оf specific соntеnt iѕ "deferred" until after thе install, thеn it'll bе shown tо thе user. 

3. Contextual Dеер Linkѕ

Contextual dеер linkѕ hаvе mоrе thаn thе features оf bоth traditional аnd deferred dеер links. Contextual dеер linkѕ саn delay dеер linking but аlѕо save lоаdѕ оf information - nоt juѕt dаtа аbоut whеrе a uѕеr hеаdѕ tо in аn app, but information likе whеrе thе link wаѕ clicked, who initially shared thе link, оr thе value оf a discount fоr a uѕеr with thаt link. Thеу аrе еvеn mоrе effective thаn mоѕt wеb links. 

Contextual linkѕ аrе useful fоr bоth арр developers аnd users. Aрр developers саn build uр funсtiоnѕ further thаn juѕt simple соntеnt linking, likе сuѕtоmizеd welcomes (where уоu ѕее уоur friend's suggestion in thе арр if thеу ѕhаrе аn item with you). It'ѕ bеttеr fоr thе uѕеr since thе арр iѕ аblе tо provide thеm with a muсh bеttеr experience аnd mоrе details thаt iѕ relevant tо them. 

How To Stream The Latest Movies For Free On Your Smartphone Or Tablet

Folks have been telling that the greatest things in life are free of charge for a long time, but it's just now we are living in the app age that I've begun to really believe it. For instance, there's a massive number of apps that allow you to watch movies and TV shows on both Android and iPhone. 

Although some apps are not cost free and let you only stream old movies, in this article, I am going to share with you a unique free application and to stream the very latest movies, TV shows, Series and documentaries. Let's learn more about it.

What Is Movizland App?

Movizland is an Egyptian free online entertainment service and forum that offers a great deal of the latest movies (Hollywood, Asian, Turkish, Arabic, Indian, historical movies) as well as other Arabic and foreign TV shows, series, documentaries and anime.

How To Use The App Or The Website?

The whole website is designed in the Arabic language. But whether you speak the language or not, this does impede you from using the app. The user interface is easy and friendly to navigate in. You will find the search box to look for your desired type of program or movie to watch. Right below, all the movies, series, TV shows and documentaries are classified by type or region as shown in the screenshot below.

If you want to have more apps, you might consider trying HBO NOW and Hulu for streaming movies in the United States. If you are a Canadian resident, you may want to give a shot on Crackle (in the US as well). British citizens will definitely find BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, All 4 (4oD) and Demand 5 great apps of all time for streaming movies on smartphones. As for the following apps, Toonmania, LiveNow!

How To Jailbreak Your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch

You must have heard the word "Jailbreak" either from a friend who has an iPhone or you might have come across it somewhere online, if not right here for the first time right? I have talked about in a previous article about the difference between Jailbreaking, rooting and unlocking, but in this tutorial we are going to see how to jailbreak your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

So Jailbreaking your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch means lifting all restrictions enforced by Apple's operating system. Jailbreaking enables root accessibility to the iOS file system and manager, making it possible to download more applications, extensions, and themes that are not available through the official Apple App Store.

 
How To Jailbreak Your iPhone, iPad Or iPod Touch? 

There are actually a couple of Jailbreaking tools available but the most recent and well-known one would be Pangu iOS 9 Jailbreak tool from Pangu Team. You can download the program from their official website here. Before using Pangu, make sure you backup your data via iTunes before jailbreaking your iDevice. As a way to raise the jailbreaking success rate, please switch your device to airplane mode, and turn off the passcode and “find my iPhone” features in system setting. 

Once you get all that done, hit the "start" button and wait till the jailbreaking process ends successfully; you will find Cydia (alternative to iPhone App Store) installed on your home screen. If your attempt to jailbreak your iPhone or iPad fails,  reboot both your iOS devices as well as your computer and give it another shot. If the result is still unsuccessful, use the restore feature in Pangu to restore your device, and try again. 

There is an incredible number of people who are Jailbreaking their devices and there rises one question: "is this Jailbreaking legal?" Yes it simply is.

Although Jailbreaking parties have not been officially threatened and confronted but Apple has always reacted with updates to every jailbroken iOS version patching those exploits. 

What Are The Benefits And Drawbacks Of Jailbreaking? 

As we know that the process of jailbreaking your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch is authorized in the U.S. for the moment, however if anything goes south throughout the jailbreaking process, it's your responsibility to fix it. Here are some benefits and drawbacks of jailbreaking:

Benefits 

1. Ability to download and install a whole new world of third party cracked apps, wallpapers, system fonts, emulators, extensions and Cydia tweaks
2. Free tethering by using your iPhone/iPad as a broadband modem to hook up your laptop to the Internet
3. Complete flexibility to customize your iDevice platform
4. Full access the iOS file system

Drawbacks

1. Risks of untested apps containing malwares
2. System instability with potential bugs from third party apps
3. Warranty void unless you unjailbreak or restore your device
4. Battery life issues

Eventually, if you consider jailbreaking your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, just be certain to cautiously look for the apps you want to install due to the fact you'll be getting into a space of no constraints. You will definitely notice how uncovered you're going to be.
