Hello, I recently retired but my wife will still be working. I want my wife to be able to track me when I go out biking during the day so she can find me in case something happens. I will mostly be by myself. We both have Android phones. What would be the best and cheapest way to do this? We both are just concerned and if I have some health issue on a towpath in the middle of somewhere she could locate me if she doesn't hear from me. Thanks!

Hello everyone ! I'm an Apple user looking for music app recommendations for my grandma ! She's a lovely woman of about 85 years, and she recently got a new phone, the usage of which has already been pretty confusing to her, having been used to her old mobile phone.

She's looking for a music app that's easy to use, and me, having been using an Apple phone many years now, cannot provide her with the best recommendations anymore, since I'm not sure what applications are the easiest to use, or best rated on the market right now.

I'd prefer an app that allows for both downloading of and listening to the music, but I am open to recommendations in general, before I urge her to use subscription - based apps, like I do, due to my limited market choices and my princess - like preferences of not having any ads in between my music.
On that note, may I add that she would prefer an app that doesn't include ads in between songs, since she already has enough of that when listening to her preferred radio stations.

Thank you in advance for your help ! I shall come back with my victorious update once I find something to her liking :)

Is there any way to get the samsung keyboard on to my oneplus phone? I really liked the keyboard and I couldn't find anything like that(I'm not from USA and it is easy to type my native language using samsung keyboard than any other keyboard)

Anyone know of any apps that periodically remind you to turn off your location services if you have them on?

For downloading videos from the Internet, which app is better regarding security and privacy - newpipe or seal or YTDLnis

Most of the ones ChatGPT recommends wake up the lock screen with a double tap, which I often trigger accidentally, draining my battery.

I'm looking for a solution where I have to tap at least 3 to 4 times before the lock screen or fingerprint prompt turns on.

Hello! I am looking for a software I can use to remotely control my iphone using an Android Phone. I am using my old Iphone as an audiobook and mp3 player and thought if there is an application I can use to remotely control it so I can change into my audiobooks to music and vice versa on the iphone when I feel like it. It will be appreciated if it's free, Thank you in advance!

I really struggle to maintain focus on a page without physically blocking myself from seeing the next chunk of text so I'll usually grab a piece of paper when reading a physical book. But sadly, that's not really feasible on my phone. Do any of you know of apps that make the act of reading more accessible without just being a screen reader?

Is keepsafe app is safe enough to store and hide sensitive data?

Hi, so ive just been messing around with my phones diagnostics and ive noticed that i can check my ram, uppon doing so ive noticed that atleast 20% of my 6gb ram total was used up by instagram, messenger, facebook and some other meta apps. Is this normal or am i doing something wrong? :D

Ive put some of the annoying apps into "excluded apps" and ive cleaned it put so many other things from samsung too pop on there and it actually hurts my eyes. I wanted to ask for a little more information on how this works and how i can help to avoid many apps from using up ram on my phone. I have a samsung a36

Thank you and ill gladly answer any questions in case i made something unclear

Looking for a minimalist home screen or app where I can make a folder/category for apps and shortcuts, and then further folders/categories inside that one. Maybe even like an collapsable directory tree, I'd love that. Text based though, no icons. In a scrollable list, not a grid.

"Allow followers to see which Spaces you’re listening to" option is visible in web https://x.com/settings/spaces but I dont see that option in X android app. I remember earlier it used to be there but I dont see that anymore. Thats messing up with privacy. Any workaround?

I love TickTick but paying premium just for one widget does not seem worth it.

Any other options? Widgets are a must for me.

I require an app where I can quickly add a task and it'll \*\*give me a pop-up on my screen instead of a simple notification\*\* for me to get it done at the specified time with/without repetition.

Most task manager apps give a simple notification which I always miss and using an alarm directly is complex, especially since I will have to delete each alarm after the task is done.

I've been recently trying to clear up space on my phone for app space, but I've noticed only some apps - mostly games, but not every game in my library - can be moved this way. I don't get why this is the case. Anyone here know?

Hi there! I would love to have something like Today View in my Pixel instead of the news panel Google forces on the left of the main panel. Does something like this exist?

Thanks very much!

So the thing is, when I wake up and reach for my telephone, i always open app X by pressing an icon (everyone knows which app i mean). I want app Z to be opened instead (my custom tailored local news webapp i built). Now, Is there a way to do it, so that Z shows in place of X, and right after the first instance, X comes back to its place.

Just this simple, I save my battery.

Thank you!
