[ad_1] Even though I’ve used several Android handsets over the years, I’ve always stuck with an iPhone. For one thing, I’m so invested in the ecosystem at this point (I’ve purchased many apps, several of which are iOS-only) that switching to another platform would be too painful.

iOS 14 update fixes a bug that reset your browser and mail defaults
[ad_1] One of the notable changes in iOS 14 is that it finally allowed users to set new default apps for their web browser and email.

Now iOS users can set Gmail as their default email app
[ad_1] When Apple unveiled iOS 14, it quietly noted that this version of the operating system finally lets users set their own default apps for email and web browsing. Google already updated Chrome on iOS so that those who’ve installed the new OS since it was released last week can set the Google browser as […]
iOS 14 picture-in-picture video stops working with YouTube’s mobile website
[ad_1] We’ve asked YouTube for comment. It wouldn’t be surprising if the move was intentional. YouTube Premium offers background playback as one of its major perks, and it wouldn’t be difficult to use PIP on the web to negate that perk. Still, that could easily be frustrating — it would amount to YouTube taking away […]

According to Bloomberg’s Debby Wu and Mark Gurman, iOS 14 is still expected to hit iPhones this month. And if we get a new iPad, it would only make sense […]
Apple pushes iOS 14’s updated ad anti-tracking feature to 2021
[ad_1] “We are committed to ensuring users can choose whether or not they allow an app to track them,” the company said in a developer update it posted on Thursday. “To give developers time to make necessary changes, apps will be required to obtain permission to track users starting early next year.” While the policy […]
Apple resurrects its iPod ‘Music Quiz’ game for iOS 14
[ad_1] This only works with the built-in Music app. Sorry, Spotify fans. It does work with Apple Music, iTunes purchases and even locally synced songs from other sources, though. And since it’s a Shortcut rather than an app, you can easily poke around to either get inspiration for your own mini-games or modify Music Quiz […]
Google Maps is finally back on Apple Watch
[ad_1] After a lengthy absence, Google Maps is making its way back to the Apple Watch. Over the next couple of weeks, Google says it will start rolling out a new version of Maps to Apple’s wearable. The app will allow you to get walking, cycling and driving directions from your current location to your […]
Dark Sky on Android shuts down following Apple deal
[ad_1] Website access is still available after an indefinite extension, although embedded material no longer appears to be an option. Third-party apps using Dark Sky’s data have until the end of 2021 to transition to other services. This isn’t the end for hyperlocal weather on Android. Accuweather and other titles can fill the gap. However, […]
