    Hi! The lock symbol on Snapchat simply means you’re looking at someone’s Private Story. That’s a feature where users can choose a specific list of friends who are allowed to see certain snaps, while keeping them hidden from others. Think of it like Instagram’s “Close Friends” circle. So if you see a story with a lock on it, congrats—you’re part of that person’s selected group. I’ve used it myself when I only wanted to share something with my closest friends, not my entire contact list. For example, I posted a silly video of me messing up a recipe and didn’t want colleagues to see it. I just added my besties to a private story, and they saw the lock. It’s not a glitch or error at all; it’s just Snapchat’s way of showing that the story isn’t public to everyone on that person’s friends list.

    Hi there! Setting up a YouTube channel is simpler than it seems. All you need is a Google account to get started. Log into YouTube with your Google account, then click on your profile picture in the top right corner. From there, you’ll see the option “Create a channel.” Once you click, YouTube will guide you through choosing your channel name (you can use your own or a brand name), uploading a profile picture, and even customizing your banner. After that, go to YouTube Studio—this is where you manage your channel, upload videos, and tweak settings. My tip: before uploading, check your settings for things like audience (kids or general), privacy, and monetization (if you plan to in the future). Upload your first video, add a title, description, tags, and thumbnail, and you’re officially live! Don’t overthink the first one—just get started and improve as you go.

    Think of Sunday like a two-peak day. Morning (around 9–11 AM) and evening (7–9 PM) both show high activity. Midday is dead. If you’re serious, schedule a few posts and track which slot consistently pulls higher reach for your audience.

    It’s decent if fiber isn’t available, but not a true replacement. Think of it as an upgraded hotspot—fine for streaming, shaky for gaming. Great price though, especially if you’re already on AT&T wireless.

    It’s either poor signal, Location Services turned off, or “Share My Location” disabled in Find My. A restart usually fixes it if everything is set correctly.

    To repost: check your DMs after being tagged, hit “Add to Your Story,” and publish. If you’re not tagged, there’s no built-in option. Screenshots or recordings work, but always ask permission—especially if the account is private.
