    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    With iOS 27, you can hand an iPhone to a child with far greater confidence. Apple has overhauled its parental controls with a new guided setup assistant, making it simpler than ever to apply smart restrictions and tailor the device to a younger user. There are several powerful features worth exploring. Beyond capping app availability and blocking in-app purchases, you can restrict adult websites, set strict time limits on games or social media, and automatically blur images containing graphic vi

    Google buried 1,605 weird and wonderful experiments — 5 you need to see (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    For 14 glorious years, Google generated hundreds of creative ideas and shared them on its Experiments with Google hub.

    Google Maps has become one of life’s essentials thanks to a host of features that make navigation feel effortless. I use it as a matter of routine when I’m driving, even if I know where I’m going — it flags up problems, offers alternative routes, and gives an accurate ETA. But Google Maps does so much more than basic directions. The more I use and explore the app, the more impressed I become (and I love checking out the hidden tricks uncovered by the Tom’s Guide team!). While it’s packed with to

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    ChatGPT has become so useful that you likely have it running on multiple devices. In fact, you may have it active in more places than you realize, which can pose a security risk. What if someone accesses your account on a device you left behind, or a colleague views your conversations on an office computer?
