Scammers have found a new category of apps to target on mobile app stores: authenticator apps. As several websites caution against using SMS to receive login authentication codes, scammers have started creating spurious authenticator apps to target users (and their money).

You Can Bring Back One-Tap 'Do Not Disturb' to Your Google Pixel

Image
Software updates are great when they make features better, but that doesn't always happen. Case in point: a recent Google Pixel update that's brought in a flurry of complaints . One of the least popular changes altered how Pixels handle the Do Not Disturb feature. Previously, you could swipe down from the top of your Pixel's screen and press the Do Not Disturb button in quick settings to toggle it on or off. The March 2025 update changed that, forcing you to make multiple taps to activate or deactivate Do Not Disturb on your Google Pixel smartphone. Plenty of Google Pixel users took to Reddit to complain about this change. Fortunately, there are easy ways to fix this behavior. Restore one-tap Do Not Disturb to your Google Pixel smartphone The easiest way to bring back the old Do No Disturb button is by downloading an app. Simple DND lets you do exactly what the old button used to. Once you install the app and give it the required permissions, simply tap the Add Tile b...

Apple Might Release a Powerful New iPhone SE Next Week

Image
Thinking about getting a new iPhone? You certainly have options: Apple's latest generation of smartphones, the iPhone 16 series , offers four different models, each with their own pluses and minuses. If you're not set on having the latest and greatest, you could consider last year's iPhone 15 , or even 2022's iPhone 14 . They're all great. However, there's one iPhone that stands out from the rest: the iPhone SE. Unlike every other iPhone Apple currently sells, this one has a Home button. In fact, the phone looks nearly identical to the iPhone 8 Apple released back in 2017, which itself borrows the design from 2014's iPhone 6. That means it has a smaller, lower quality display than many might be used to these days, a single camera that isn't as capable as those on newer iPhones, and poor battery life for its size. In short, the current SE is a bit of a black sheep, and is probably not the iPhone I'd recommend you buy in 2024—even if it only costs $4...

How to Play Original Switch Games on the Switch 2

Image
Around November of last year, when readers were certainly not paying attention to anything else , Nintendo briefly shared that the Nintendo Switch 2 would be backwards compatible with games for the original Nintendo Switch . Fast forward to this year, and it turns out that’s not so clear cut. According to Nintendo, the Switch 2 can play the vast majority of Nintendo Switch 1 games, but there are some caveats to keep in mind. The Switch 2 uses emulation to play Switch 1 games As Nintendo posted to its site yesterday and confirmed in a developer roundtable I attended, the Switch 2 does not have any Switch 1 hardware inside. This means that, unlike the Nintendo DS did with the Game Boy Advance, it can’t play Switch games “natively,” meaning it’s not able to run them exactly as they might work on original hardware. Instead, it uses what Nintendo said is a mix of hardware compatibility and software emulation to essentially trick these games into thinking they...
