Office 365 is now Microsoft 365, new Outlook features and screen time app coming Android

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Microsoft launched Office 365 on June 28, 2011, as a new subscription model for the company’s popular suite of office applications, but it has gradually expanded in scope since then. Today it was announced that Office 365 is being renamed to Microsoft 365, and there are new features for both consumers and large organizations alike.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_-2RBLRgD-8/XoJirV4AByI/AAAAAAAALgw/kbB-Z2MvPxQ8bYlBigDy1onhDbGSPNhIwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/office-365.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="682" data-original-width="1000" height="436" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_-2RBLRgD-8/XoJirV4AByI/AAAAAAAALgw/kbB-Z2MvPxQ8bYlBigDy1onhDbGSPNhIwCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/office-365.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Most of the new features announced for Microsoft 365 are for the desktop: a new editing service built into Word and Outlook.com, an updated presenter mode in PowerPoint, and so on. There were a few topics of interest for Android, though. The Play My Emails feature that arrived in the Android Outlook app last year will soon offer improved search:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Play My Emails can help you catch up and act on what’s new in your inbox whether you are mid-commute or getting ready in the morning, so that you can be fully present when you are home. To further enable hands-free activities, you can now use Microsoft Search that recognizes natural language on iOS and Android. Simply find your results faster and easier by using language you use every day to filter and narrow your search—just speak it or type it. The new search <gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-3" id="gwmw-15855897653536633256113">functionality</gwmw> and Play My Emails availability <gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-3" id="gwmw-15855897653531174132231">on</gwmw> Android will begin rolling out in the coming months.</blockquote>
For families subscribed to Microsoft 365, a new application called ‘Microsoft Family Safety’ will enter limited preview “in the coming months.”<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m__uch__B50/XoJjCsDZ-vI/AAAAAAAALg4/tdCdF-XfILI8gn-w6q6TihA-n5C90nGHQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Make-the-most-of-your-365.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="681" data-original-width="329" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m__uch__B50/XoJjCsDZ-vI/AAAAAAAALg4/tdCdF-XfILI8gn-w6q6TihA-n5C90nGHQCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Make-the-most-of-your-365.png" width="307" /></a></div>
<br />
The app will manage screen time across Windows PCs, Android, and Xbox, and also make it easy to check the locations of family members. Microsoft specifically mentioned that “we don’t share your information with third parties.”<br />
<br />
Finally, Microsoft also revealed that its Teams messaging platform will be available for Microsoft 365 family plans.</div>

Astro Slide 5G is an Android Mini-laptop Phone for Keyboard Addicts

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Planet Computers <gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-3" id="gwmw-15855801463603924874151">has just announced</gwmw> the first 5G handheld device with a full physical keyboard on their <a href="https://twitter.com/planetcom2017/status/1244519224829231104">Twitter official handle</a> and its Indiegogo campaign has already received more backing than the original goal. The Astro Slide is brimming with attractive features, including its transforming ability, super-fast MediaTek Dimensity 1000 chipset, full backlit keyboard, Wi-Fi 6 capability, and 48 MP main <gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-3" id="gwmw-15855758709283910653220">camera</gwmw>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AkAZwnMa3B4/XoIC_Ax2YnI/AAAAAAAALgY/bjZK_CPo82YTUR_mcBMCmvTcyNKa4DBZACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/astro-slide-5G-transformer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="675" data-original-width="1200" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AkAZwnMa3B4/XoIC_Ax2YnI/AAAAAAAALgY/bjZK_CPo82YTUR_mcBMCmvTcyNKa4DBZACLcBGAsYHQ/s640/astro-slide-5G-transformer.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
If you’ve been waiting for a 5G smartphone with a physical keyboard, get ready for this new device named <b>Astro Slide 5G smartphone</b>.<br />
<br />
<gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-1" id="gwmw-15855765712565551081407">Astro</gwmw> Slide 5G is not a small device, but then it’s not your typical Android smartphone. On the front, there’s a 6.53-inch touchscreen, running at 2340 x 1080 resolution, which pushes up and then tilts to reveal a physical keyboard with backlighting.<br />
<br />
That way, you get a regular phone when you just want to browse the internet, look at social networks, or take photos, but a miniature laptop when you need to do some serious text entry. It follows Planet Computers’ previous Cosmo Communicator and the company’s original Gemini PDA, which promised similar flexibility. However, this new hinge mechanism has some significant advantages.<br />
<br />
Probably the biggest is the convenience of single-handed use. The Astro Slide is certainly not a small, or thin, phone – it’s 15mm thick, whereas a Galaxy S20 Ultra is 8.8mm – but with its primary display on the outside, it can still theoretically be used one-handed. The company’s previous models closed like clamshells, which meant the main display couldn’t be seen.<br />
<br />
The Cosmo Communicator added an external secondary display, but that was only really useful for notifications and the like. This Astro Slide, in contrast, will be fully usable as an Android 10 phone whether it’s opened or closed.<br />
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span class="embed-youtube" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;"><iframe allowfullscreen="true" class="youtube-player" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/v-PBPxN8Sv0?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent" style="border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" type="text/html" width="640"></iframe></span></div>
There’s a 48-megapixel rear camera, along with a front camera for selfies. <gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-1" id="gwmw-15855761370492713647793">Astro</gwmw> Slide also has a fingerprint sensor, a <gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-1" id="gwmw-15855761370498691405000">microSD</gwmw> slot, and NFC support. Unusually, there are not only two nano-SIM card slots, but <gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-1" id="gwmw-15855761382680219508563">eSIM</gwmw> support as well. That could mean potentially three lines of service on a single device.<br />
<br />
Inside, the Astro Slide uses MediaTek’s Dimensity 1000 chipset. Announced last November, the <gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-1" id="gwmw-15855761408196468271305">octa</gwmw>-core chipset pairs four performance cores with four efficiency cores, together with a Mali-G77 GPU. MediaTek also has a new AI Processing Unit, WiFi 6, and Bluetooth 5.1, along with its 5G.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-M8XWT_H45jQ/XoIFGSfHObI/AAAAAAAALgk/0uRYeJZ6SKoSVmHZ5_TPavb-Yejy6TFBwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Astro-slide-5G.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="376" data-original-width="750" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-M8XWT_H45jQ/XoIFGSfHObI/AAAAAAAALgk/0uRYeJZ6SKoSVmHZ5_TPavb-Yejy6TFBwCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Astro-slide-5G.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The problem is, what the Dimensity 1000 doesn’t have is <gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-1" id="gwmw-15855761432825267858606">mmWave</gwmw> 5G support. Instead, the chip-maker has focused on sub-6GHz networks, a decision that makes sense for many global markets but has disappointing consequences for the US. Verizon’s fastest 5G service, for example, is based on <gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-1" id="gwmw-15855761464815827958522">mmWave</gwmw>, and while sub-6 is currently more ubiquitous in the US, it’s also much slower.<br />
<br />
Even the base configuration of the Astro Slide will have at least 6GB of memory and 128GB of storage. Later on, Planet Computers says, there’ll be a multi-boot option for those wanting a Linux OS alongside Android. The battery is 4,000 mAh, which the company says should be enough for a full day of use, and supports wireless charging; there are two USB-C ports, stereo speakers, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.<br />
<br />
<b>Price</b><br />
The Astro Slide is expected to retail at around $907 (approx. 332,869.00 Nigerian Naira), though early backers can snag one from $544. If all goes to plan, the company says, it hopes to begin shipping in March 2021.<br />

ALAT was launched on May 2, 2017 by Wema Bank <gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-1" id="gwmw-15840631504637643801605"><gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-1" id="gwmw-15840680306715315462972">Plc</gwmw></gwmw>, a Nigerian commercial bank. <gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-1" id="gwmw-15840631532596069215675"><gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-1" id="gwmw-15840680325478191699495">Wema</gwmw></gwmw> Bank was designed to cater for the need of today’s (digital) customers who are in dire need of a bank that understands and suits their lifestyle with respect to value for time, money and responsiveness. With its unveiling, the bank solved the problem of exhausting queues in banking halls and ATMs, as well as the rigorous paperwork that customers had to face. Built with the core values of simplicity, reliability and convenience, adoption of the digital bank has been on the rise by Nigerian Millennials. During its first year, ALAT by Wemaacquired more than 250,000 customers responsible for well over NGN 1.6<gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-1" id="gwmw-15840631576558997569370"><gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-1" id="gwmw-15840680361847658844534">bn</gwmw></gwmw> ($4.48m) in general deposits.

ALAT by Wema was recognized as the ‘Best Mobile Banking App’ and ‘Best Digital Bank for 2017’ at the World Finance Digital Banking Awards. In 2018, it was also awarded ‘Best Digital Bank in Africa’ at the Asian Banker Awards. The digital bank has also received <gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-2" id="gwmw-15840631630705627246052"><gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-2" id="gwmw-15840680416040755063322">other</gwmw></gwmw> series of <gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-6" id="gwmw-15840631630707352190668"><gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-6" id="gwmw-15840680416040888501385">awards including</gwmw></gwmw> BusinessDay Digital Banking Platform of the Year and Excellence in Branchless Banking in the New Age Banking Awards. <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-1" id="gwmw-15840639795085054182532">ref</gwmw>></span><a href="https://businessday.ng/companies/article/alat-wema-africas-best-digital-bank/">Wema’s ALAT named Africa’s best digital banking app</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"></span></div>
. Today, Wema Bank has adopted ALAT by Wema as the fulcrum of its digital transformation. With the closing of its old Wema Mobile app, the bank has converged its banking services into an ALAT that has become a versatile, <gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-1" id="gwmw-15840631669889987751762"><gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-1" id="gwmw-15840680451005951818152">omnichannel</gwmw></gwmw> platform. The convergence allows for the coexistence of digital and traditional banking platforms. Source: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALAT_By_Wema">Wikipedia.org</a>.<br />

With ALAT, account opening/sign-up can be done in five minutes from a mobile phone or personal computer. Account-holders can instantly fund their new account using any existing local or international debit/credit card you may have, in-app. No branch/ATM visits necessary.  Debit cards are delivered to an account holder’s address in two business days, anywhere in Nigeria, at no cost.<br />

How to Enable Missing Hibernate Mode in Windows 8, 8.1, and Windows 10 Power Menu

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">There is one common issue on Windows 8<span style="font-family: inherit;">, </span>8.1, and the new windows 10. The "<b>Hibernate</b>" option is disabled in the power menu. The power menu doesn't show Hibernate Option.

Here are What Causes your iPhone or Android Phone to Get Hot and How to Fix it

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
If your smartphone is getting hot or overheating, there are a number of likely causes. Whether you're using an iPhone or an Android device, find out what's making your phone get so hot, how to fix the problem, and how to stop it from happening again<br />
<br />
<gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-1" id="gwmw-15849106559496148843043"><gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-1" id="gwmw-15849119743950783784792">Shelaf</gwmw></gwmw> is here to help you super sleuth your way to the bottom of this hot topic (couldn’t help myself). Note that this doesn’t include your phone getting warm from time to time, which is completely normal; it is an electronic device after all, and electronic devices work via the movement of electricity, which creates heat — simple physics. But if your phone is regularly turning up the heat to the point where it’s uncomfortable to hold, there could be a more serious problem going on that could ultimately speed up your phone’s aging process.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Where is the heat coming from?</b></h3>
When phone temperature rises, the most probable culprits are either the battery, processor, or screen. Each of these components can generate heat; chemicals inside your phone’s battery create electricity, the processor transfers information at high speeds (like a computer), and your phone’s screen emits light. So how can you pinpoint what’s causing the problem? While not an exact science, you can make an educated guess about why your iPhone or Android phone is heating up based on where the heat is coming from.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JOwG2448Ck4/XndbnEtC39I/AAAAAAAALek/7hGICFgPCMwOO3W0NBZnq98gfTXU-_HRgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/parts-of-a-smartphone-shows-heat%2Bup.webp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="290" data-original-width="599" height="191" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JOwG2448Ck4/XndbnEtC39I/AAAAAAAALek/7hGICFgPCMwOO3W0NBZnq98gfTXU-_HRgCLcBGAsYHQ/s400/parts-of-a-smartphone-shows-heat%2Bup.webp" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Back of the phone</b></h3>
If the back of your phone is getting hot, the problem may be an overheating battery. Most modern mobile phones use Li-Ion (lithium-ion) batteries that, despite their size, pack a powerful punch. Li-Ion batteries are generally safe, but malfunctions do sometimes occur, as seen with the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 battery explosions. A hot battery could also be a sign that it needs to be replaced.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Bottom of the phone</b></h3>
See if the bottom of the phone gets hot when charging — if so, the problem might be with the charger. Whether you use an iPhone or Android, the most reliable charger will be from your phone’s manufacturer. But, contrary to popular belief, third-party chargers are also fine as long as they’re from a reputable source.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Above the battery, by the speaker, or the screen</b></h3>
If you notice your phone is getting hot somewhere besides the battery or the bottom where it connects to the charger, then explore other possible causes that could be either related to the phone itself, or to external factors.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Hot vs. Warm — what’s the difference?</b></h3>
Now before you start jamming a thermometer into your phone’s charging port, understand that a ‘warm’ phone is not the same as a ‘hot’ phone. Generally, a phone’s internal temperature can reach 37-43 degrees Celsius (98.6-109.4 degrees Fahrenheit) and still be considered normal.<br />
<br />
If you’re using an Android phone, you can install the nifty <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.finalwire.aida64">AIDA64 app</a>, which will give you a ton of information about your phone’s hardware and software, including a temperature report. While Apple has expanded the information you can see in the “Battery Health” menu in its latest iOS 12.3 <gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-3" id="gwmw-15849053985872279513669"><gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-3" id="gwmw-15849120069429487593269">update</gwmw></gwmw>, this does not include a temperature reading. However, since we’ve already established that some phone heat is normal, it’s better to determine overheating based on how often you notice your phone getting hot, or if the temperature is physically uncomfortable. Your phone should not be getting hot several times a day or for seemingly no reason.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Causes of phone overheating</b></h3>
There are several, totally normal (and harmless) reasons why your phone may need to use more power than usual, causing it to warm up a bit. These include:<br />
<br />
<b>1. Gaming for long periods of time</b><br />
If you haven’t found yourself hours deep into a Candy Crush or Snake vs. Block marathon, then you’re either lying or you’ve somehow never had to take public transit. The sheer breadth of available mobile app games is arguably one of the top reasons for buying a smartphone. However, high-intensity gaming apps use your phone’s central processing cores in addition to the graphics processing unit, which can make your phone warm up.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Streaming content</b><br />
Similar to the gaming scenario, watching YouTube or Netflix for hours via your Android or iPhone is another surefire (get it?) way to overwork your phone’s processor, as it has to load the video data and keep the display active for a prolonged period of time.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Your settings aren’t optimal</b><br />
Your phone’s settings also impact how much energy it’s using. Screen brightness on full blast? Animated wallpaper? Widgets, widgets everywhere? Consider turning off (or down, in the case of screen brightness) unnecessary settings to lighten the load on your phone’s CPU.<br />
<br />
Other reasons may not be related to your phone’s normal processes, but are still relatively easy to fix:<br />
<br />
<b>4. Environmental factors</b><br />
Prepare to have your mind blown, but leaving your phone sitting outside in the sun or in your car on a hot day can cause it to overheat (*GASP*). This will also prevent the touchscreen from working properly and cause the battery to drain faster. In addition to sun and heat exposure, water damage can also be a possible cause of phone overheating.<br />
<br />
<b>5. App updates</b><br />
If an app has a bug or other problem, it may cause your phone to overheat by overusing your device’s processor. Keeping your apps updated is important because updates often include bug fixes.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Software updates</b><br />
Rarely, a phone may overheat either after an update, or because there was a bug in the OS that required fixing through the update.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>When there’s a bigger problem</b></h3>
While there are many plausible explanations for why your phone is getting hot in here, it’s better not to assume the problem is an easy fix. An overheating phone can also be a sign that your phone is infected with malware. Malware often consumes a ton of your phone’s ram and CPU power, which causes the phone to overheat. Some types of malware are even capable of physically damaging your phone.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>How to cool your phone <gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-6" id="gwmw-15849054414811323217135"><gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-6" id="gwmw-15849121563754261509215">down</gwmw></gwmw></b></h3>
For a quick fix, first try removing your phone’s case. While the case <gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-3" id="gwmw-15849053789261136197860"><gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-3" id="gwmw-15849121591336335953834">itself</gwmw></gwmw> should not be causing your phone to overheat, it might be trapping heat. Removing it can help lower your phone’s temperature more quickly. Next, turn on airplane mode to quickly deactivate battery draining features like wireless radio, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi or cellular signal search. This isn’t the most practical option, but it can be a quick way to help cool your phone down if it’s overheating.<br />
<br />
Also, NEVER put your phone in the fridge or freezer. While this may sound like the logical counter-response to leaving your phone in a hot environment, exposing your phone to extreme temperatures or moisture can cause irreparable damage. A better option (though admittedly limited in effectiveness) is to blow on or fan it. Both iPhones and Androids are designed to function between 0-35 degrees Celsius (32-95 Fahrenheit), but exposure to temperatures outside of that range can have a negative impact on your phone’s performance or hardware. If your phone is overheating because of direct sunlight or heat, you can move it to a shadier place.<br />
<br />
In addition to the tips mentioned above, here are some other things you can do to help your phone cool off:<br />
<br />
Use less power — Low Power Mode on iPhone and Battery Saver Mode on Android reduces the amount of power your phone is using, and can also help preserve your phone’s battery life.<br />
Install junk cleaning software — Another useful way to minimize the drain on your phone’s battery and processor power. Cleaner apps, like <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avg.cleaner">AVG Cleaner</a>, make it easy to clean out junk files, identify apps that are slowing down your phone’s performance, and remove useless pre-installed apps to help improve your phone’s performance and extend its battery life.<br />
<br />
Dim your screen brightness — Keeping the screen at a reasonable brightness (not full blast) will take some strain off your phone’s battery (and your eyes).<br />
Turn off Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth — Disabling battery-draining features such as these gives your phone a break, allowing it to cool down.<br />
<br />
Restart your phone — Occasionally restarting your phone can help prevent overheating due to minor software problems.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>How to prevent your phone from <gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-6" id="gwmw-15849053900131296137739"><gwmw class="ginger-module-highlighter-mistake-type-6" id="gwmw-15849121763803741017291">overheating</gwmw></gwmw></b></h3>
Prevention is often better than a cure, even when it comes to an overheating phone. Developing some basic phone-care habits can really make a difference when it comes to prolonging your phone’s life, or avoiding having to completely replace it.<br />
<br />
<b>Charge your phone correctly</b><br />
We already mentioned using a reputable charger, but where you place your phone while it’s charging is also important. Put it on a hard surface that won’t conduct heat; not your couch or bed, both of which will retain the heat produced by charging. And while we’re on the subject, a quick myth bust: charging your phone overnight actually ISN'T bad for your battery. The truth is that smartphones have protection chips to make sure a battery stops charging at 100%. Although it will charge again once the battery drops to 99%, you won’t harm the battery as long as you maintain proper charging placement.<br />
<br />
<b>Update your apps</b><br />
If you notice your phone has started heating up for no apparent reason, try looking at some of the apps you’ve recently installed. It’s possible that one or more of them may have a bug that’s causing your phone to overheat. Updating apps usually fixes this kind of problem; if not, try uninstalling the app to determine if it’s the reason your phone is overheating.<br />
<br />
<b>Avoid direct sunlight</b><br />
This seems like a “duh” piece of advice, but it can be quite easy to forget about your phone when you’re outside soaking up the sun. Cover your phone with a blanket or something similar to prevent it from overheating — you may need to work on your tan, but your phone definitely doesn’t.<br />
<br />
<b>Use an antivirus (Android)</b><br />
We really can’t stress enough how important it is to use antivirus software on your Android phone. Overheating aside, getting malware on your phone is going to give you a huge headache at the very least. At the most, it could leak your sensitive information, steal your banking details, hold your personal files hostage, spy on your physical location, drain your battery — the list goes on, but the bottom line has not been dumb with your smartphone. Make sure to use an antivirus.<br />
