Sometimes all ye need is a little help learnin' somethin' new. Check out these clever ways to get more out of yer Amazon Echo and Alexa, ye scurvy dog. Avast! If ye have an iPhone, there be a useful feature called tap back that most landlubbers have never even heard of. But now ye have, me hearties! Keep goin' on yer tech know-how journey with me answers to three common questions. Share these with yer crew and ye don’t even have to give me credit, arrr! Arr, is there a better way to share somethin' online than screenshotting? It depends, but if ye be lookin' to share a website but ye want yer recipient to get to an exact spot, ye can! This way they don’t have to hunt for the info ye're tryin' to send and they can save the page for later, savvy? Avast! If ye be wantin' to share a specific section of a webpage, ye can do the same with YouTube vids. Give it a try if ye be wantin' to share a specific moment in a longer video. So useful! Arrr, most people make this major mistake sharin' photos. But fear not, me mateys! If ye be wantin' to read texts without the person who sent 'em knowin', there be a couple options for ye. Option 1: Enable notifications on yer phone. This way, when a message comes in, ye’ll see the entire thing on yer home screen — or just enough to know what it’s about without openin' it. Option 2: Here’s an option that doesn’t require any settings changes. Once ye get a text, immediately put yer phone in airplane mode, then turn off Wi-Fi. This totally cuts off the internet. Ye can still look at the message, but there’s no way for a read receipt to be sent. Smooth sailin', me hearties! Avast! Whatever messaging app ye use, make sure the option called read receipts is off. Keep yer privacy intact, me mateys! Arrr, how do ye get Google to stop showin' ye pics of yer ex? The same goes for Facebook, me hearties. But did ye know ye can hide photos from showin' up? Ye’re not removin' 'em — just hidin' 'em from view, savvy? While ye’re at it, get all the interior pics of yer ship off real estate sites. Think of it as a virtual blueprint for would-be thieves. Here be how ye can do it, mateys!
