    Fax from iPhone = app or web service. No built-in option. Try Fax.Plus or eFax; upload your doc, type the fax number, and send. They usually offer a few free pages, then it’s paid.

    Hi! You’re totally right—context is everything with “ATP.” In texting, the most common meaning is “At This Point.” So if someone says, “ATP, I don’t even care,” they mean “At this point, I don’t even care.” It’s basically shorthand to express where things stand right now. But like you mentioned, ATP can also mean “Answer The Phone.” I had a cousin who used it that way all the time. At first, I thought she was trying to flex her biology knowledge, but nope—she just wanted me to pick up her call. The tricky part is that slang evolves quickly. If you’re not sure what someone meant, don’t hesitate to ask them directly—it’s normal. In most texting or social media conversations though, 9/10 times “At This Point” is the meaning. The science one almost never applies outside of school or nerdy jokes.

    Go to Settings → Privacy and Safety → Audience and tagging. Turn on “Protect your Tweets.” Once enabled, only approved followers see your posts. Existing followers stay; new ones must request access. Past tweets also become private.

    Go to Settings > Messages, toggle on iMessage, and sign in with your Apple ID. Make sure you’re connected to Wi-Fi or data. If activation stalls, toggle it off/on and check your time zone settings.

    Hi, good question—this one trips up a lot of Chromebook users because Google never added a toggle in the normal settings. But you can do it through the Chrome browser’s debug shortcuts.

    Here’s how:

    Open Chrome and type chrome://flags/#ash-debug-shortcuts in the address bar.

    Enable “Debugging keyboard shortcuts.”

    Restart your Chromebook to apply changes.

    Now press Search + Shift + T (sometimes it’s Ctrl + Shift + T) to disable the touchscreen.

    Use the same combo again to re-enable it.

    This only affects the touchscreen, not the trackpad, so your keyboard and touchpad still work normally.

    I used this when my nephew kept poking the screen during Zoom calls—it saved my sanity. Just know that if you powerwash (reset) your Chromebook, you’ll need to enable the flag again. It’s not risky, just a hidden feature most people never discover.

    To reset your AirPods: put them in the case, open the lid, and press the button on the back until the light flashes amber, then white. After that, you’ll need to reconnect them to your devices like they’re new.

    I turned mine off about six months ago, and honestly, it changed how I use Instagram. I used to feel guilty when friends saw me “active” but I didn’t answer right away. People would message, “Hey, I see you’re online,” and I hated that pressure. One night, I was scrolling at 2 AM and got called out by a friend the next morning. That’s when I decided enough was enough. The process was simple — I went into settings and turned off the active status toggle. At first, I missed seeing when my close friends were online, but after a week, I realized it didn’t matter. Now I check messages when I feel like it, not when Instagram says I’m “supposed to.” It honestly gave me more freedom to enjoy the app without the anxiety. If yo

    When I first noticed the green dot, I panicked a little because I thought it meant people could see every time I was lurking on their stories. One time, I was checking Snap late at night and saw the dot on a friend’s name — they texted me right away like “I saw you’re online, why aren’t you replying?” That was stressful. I dug into the settings and found out it’s just an activity status, nothing more. It doesn’t broadcast what you’re doing, only that you’re on the app at that moment. Eventually, I decided to turn off “Show Activity Status” under settings so nobody could see me online. Honestly, it gave me way more peace of mind. Now I can scroll without anyone keeping tabs on me. Lesson learned: don’t overthink the dot — it’s not as deep as it seems.

    Press PrtScn to copy your whole screen and paste it (Ctrl+V) into Paint or Word. For partial screenshots, use Windows + Shift + S — that opens Snip & Sketch, where you can drag and capture just what you need.

    Generally, weekdays between 9–11 AM and evenings around 7–9 PM work best. That’s when people are checking phones either before or after work/school. Still, always check Insights — your followers might behave differently.

    Don’t stress too much about the planets. It’s more of a fun feature than a serious friendship test. Relationships are way deeper than how often you send snaps.

    I had the same issue last year with a troll who wouldn’t stop posting negative stuff under my clips. At first, I tried ignoring it, then I tried deleting comments, but it just kept happening. Finally, I went to their profile, clicked the three dots, and blocked them. I remember feeling nervous—like maybe they’d know, or it would somehow affect my account—but honestly, it was the opposite. The moment I blocked them, everything felt lighter. They vanished from my comments, and they couldn’t message me anymore. My engagement didn’t drop at all. In fact, my regular followers engaged more because the negative noise was gone. Blocking isn’t about being petty, it’s about protecting your space. Think of it like locking your front door; you’re not being rude, you’re just setting a boundary.
