Techy tip #1
iPhone users, as we all know flash player does not work on a hand held iOS device.
Puffin Web Browser on the App Store
The link will take you to the App Store © to install the Puffin Browser, there are others out there but this one does what it says on the tin

Techy tip #2
Here's a fun one.....nossy spouse/partner? Always asking where you've been? Caught them browsing through your phone?
Did you know your iOS hand held device keeps tabs on you?

Try this: Privacy>Location Services>System Services>Frequent Locations>Turn-Off

Stay Sneaky

I'll also add to this if I may;
iOS photo locations - aka Geotagging... Turn on or off. I personally *highly* recommend setting this to OFF, otherwise people can easily track your location;

Settings>Privacy>Location Services>Camera>Select if you want to use geotagging “While using the app” or “Never.”
I highly recommend never and not allowing geotagging on your photos and videos etc..

 

[Bonker]

Excellent tip....I like it

Very good advice indeed, VPN is the future peeps. Don't get watched by Big Brother...

Yup, there are 'other' methods but this will serve most needs

[Admin]

Yes I know, I mean are we doing that next? I'm all ears if so..
Agreed though, this is a must if people value privacy. We have a LOT of connections here via VPN's and Proxies..

#4 iPhone battery life issues, not really a tip this, but got the new 6s and the battery life has been markedly improved

 

[Admin]

As it happens, iOS9 has made one hell of a difference on battery life on my iPhone 5!
Incredible difference...

#5 Not really a tech tip but this might be an idea?
RaidCall-100% FREE Group Communication Software- IM, Group Communication and Voice Chat
@Admin could set up a SS room for all 'members' who would prefere to chat than type

 

[Admin]

We have voice chat capabilities as it is.. but this is good to keep an eye on definitely.
