If you have a hard time remembering birthdays and anniversaries, scheduling a text in advance is one of the best things you can do with your iPhone. Not only does this ensure that the recipient is greeted on the correct date, but it also gives you enough time to think about the message. Using your iPhone, you can also send recurring messages at a pre-set frequency. So, here are the top 2 ways to schedule a text message on an iPhone.
Can you schedule a text message directly on your iPhone?
Scheduling a text is one of the features that is often missing from common messaging apps like WhatsApp and iMessage. While those platforms may incorporate that feature in future, right now your options are pretty limited. Luckily, Apple’s Shortcut app lets you schedule a text and send it to however many recipients you want.
You can also use third-party apps like Moxy Messenger, Scheduled, and Carrier Messaging for this task. These apps are totally legitimate and can be downloaded from the App Store. However, modded apps like GB WhatsApp that claim to offer this feature are very much illegal and we do not recommend downloading them.
Schedule a Text Message on an iPhone using the Shortcuts app
Step 1: Launch the Shortcuts app on your iPhone and switch to the Automation tab.
Step 2: Tap on Create Personal Automation.
Step 3: Select Time of Day.
Step 4: Tap on the time in the ‘Time of Day’ section and enter the time at which you want to send the message.
Step 5: Tap on Monthly and select the date on which you wish to send the message. You should know that the Shortcuts app will automate this action monthly, so remember to delete this automation once its purpose has been fulfilled.
Step 6: Hit Next.
Step 7: Tap on Add Action and select Send Message. Or you can directly select Send Message from the list of suggestions.
Step 8: Tap on the Message field and enter the message you wish to send.
Step 9: Now, tap on the Recipients field and select the contact to whom you wish to send the message. You can select multiple recipients. Hit Next.
Step 10: On the following page, turn off the toggle switch for Ask Before Running if you want this action to be completely automated.
Step 11: Hit Done at the top right corner of the screen.
Use a third-party app
The downside of using the Shortcuts app to send a scheduled text is that it repeats the action every month. If you don’t remember to delete the automation after the message has been sent, it will lead to some very confused recipients. Luckily, there are some third-party apps that offer a solution to this problem.
However, there is some small catch. Most free third-party apps remind you to send the text instead of sending the text itself. Reminderbase has the option to send texts at a scheduled time, but only through virtual numbers. If you want to schedule a text message on your iPhone and send it from your number, you will need to subscribe to the Scheduled app.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Does iMessage have the option to schedule a text?
The iMessage app does not have a native option to schedule a text message. You can use the Shortcuts app for that task.
Can you schedule a text message on WhatsApp?
Similar to iMessage, WhatsApp does not offer the option to schedule a text either. However, you can use the Shortcut or Scheduled app to send a text at a pre-set time.
Which are the best apps for scheduling text messages on an iPhone?
Scheduled is the best app you can use to send a non-recurring text message at a pre-defined date and time. Carrier Messaging, Moxy Messenger, and Reminderbase are also good apps for this task.
These are the top 2 ways to schedule a text message on an iPhone. If you know any other way to go about this task, let us know in the comments! If your business requires scheduling text messages quite often, we suggest paying for a premium subscription to the Scheduled app.
Samsung and Flipkart have revealed a fascinating collaboration for the Big Saving Days sale, which begins on May 2. Samsung recently revealed a Rs 20,000 price cut on the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE smartphone. The device was launched in India last year. Customers now have the opportunity to get the high-end Samsung Galaxy S23 FE smartphone from the company for a discounted price of Rs 33,999.
Samsung’s JB Park and Flipkart’s Kalyan Krishnamurthy starred in a digital short that revealed an intriguing collaboration between the two companies for Flipkart’s Big Saving Days. In the movie, the two leaders use Galaxy AI’s Live Translate feature to communicate with one another in their native tongue, overcoming linguistic obstacles.
Galaxy S23 FE, which was initially priced at Rs 54999, will be available for an incredible price of Rs 33999 as part of Flipkart’s Big Saving Days Sale. This incredible deal incorporates a bank cashback of Rs 1000.
Note that this offer on Galaxy S23 FE will go live on Flipkart starting May 2 for a limited period.
Samsung Galaxy S23 FE features a 6.4-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED display with 2340 x 1080 pixels resolution. The screen supports a variable refresh rate of 60 to 120Hz. The front panel is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The device is powered by a Samsung Exynos 2200 4nm processor with Samsung Xclipse 920 GPU. The phone runs on Android 13 with One UI 5 out of the box.
For photography and videography, the handset features a triple rear camera set-up that includes a 50-megapixel main camera with f/1.8 aperture and OIS, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor, and an 8-megapixel telephoto lens with OIS and 3X Optical Zoom. For selfies, there will be a 10-megapixel front-facing camera.
In terms of connectivity, there is 5G SA/NSA, 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, GPS + GLONASS, NFC, and a USB 3.1 port for charging. The S23 FE also includes an in-display fingerprint sensor for biometrics. The handset packs a 4500mAh battery with 25W wired fast charging and support for wireless charging, and wireless power share.
It comes with an IP68 rating for water resistance and the stereo speakers on the phone support Dolby Atmos.
While Samsung’s flagship smartphones are considered the best Android devices, its midrange offerings are generally weighed down by the mediocre in-house Exynos chipsets. Enter the Samsung Galaxy M55 with its stunning Super AMOLED+ display, 45W fast charging, and the new Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor, all for the price of Rs 27,000. At this price point, the Galaxy M55 not only rivals the likes of Nothing Phone (2a) (read our Nothing Phone (2a) review here) and OnePlus Nord CE4 (read our OnePlus Nord CE4 review here) but also its Samsung mid-range sibling, Galaxy A35 (read our Galaxy A35 review here). On paper, it certainly looks like this device will make a lot of smartphone enthusiasts happy. But how well does it perform when put through rigorous everyday use? Has Samsung made some tradeoffs to keep the smartphone’s price in check? Here’s our in-depth review of the Samsung Galaxy M55 to answer all your questions.
The Galaxy M55’s retail box isn’t as sleek as its A and S series counterparts. You would think this is a good thing because all that room could only mean additional accessories inside the box. Sadly, the unboxing experience here falls flat. Here are the contents of the M55’s retail box.
Smartphone
USB Type-C to Type-C cable
SIM ejector
Regional Lock Guide
Quick Start Guide
The lack of a power adapter inside the box is disappointing for two reasons. The Galaxy M55 is one of the rare Samsung smartphones to support 45W charging. Even the entry-level Galaxy S24 can only charge at a 25W speed. If you’re making a step up from an older smartphone, this means splurging some extra cash on a 45W power brick. Secondly, the USB cable provided in the box is Type-C on both ends. This means if your existing charger has a Type-A slot, this cable will not be of much use to you.
The homogeneous design language we’ve been seeing from Samsung for almost 2 years is also present on the Galaxy M55. The rear camera array is arranged in a vertical layout. The back panel is made out of plastic, which is not something you want in a Rs 27,000 smartphone. But, on the bright side, the smartphone weighs just 180g because of it. In comparison, the Galaxy A35 lifts the needle to 209g on the weighing scale.
The plastic back panel curves slightly towards the edges. Its matte finish lends it a pleasant in-hand feel and ensures that it doesn’t collect excessive fingerprints or smudges. The finish on the rails is smoother than the back. The right edge of the smartphone houses the volume rocker keys and the side button. The rocker is positioned slightly higher than what we’re used to. You’ll find the primary microphone, USB port, and primary speaker slot on the bottom edge. The hybrid SIM slot is positioned on the left rail while the secondary microphone makes its way to the top. The M55’s earpiece acts as the secondary speaker outlet.
Samsung always delivers when it comes to displays and the Galaxy M55 is no different. The stunning 6.7-inch Super AMOLED+ display has a 120Hz refresh rate and can hit a peak brightness of 1,000 nits under direct sunlight. While this isn’t the brightest display we’ve ever used, it does a good job of maintaining its legibility in outdoor conditions. The bezels surrounding the display are slightly more pronounced around the chin, but overall, they are slimmer than the Galaxy A35 and A55.
While the Samsung Galaxy M55 has Widevine L1 certification, it doesn’t support HDR playback on Netflix. This didn’t bother us too much as the AMOLED display produced vivid colours and rendered exquisite details while streaming OTT content. The audio output from its stereo speakers is a little tinny and lacking in the low-end department, but it can go loud.
Samsung Galaxy M55 5G Review: Performance and Cameras
Powering the Samsung Galaxy M55 is the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC, a welcome respite from the Exynos chipsets that Samsung keeps shoehorning in its midrange (and in some cases, flagship) smartphones. In the Geekbench 6 test, the Galaxy M55 scored 781 points in the single-core test and 2,374 points in the multi-core test.
Using the smartphone as our daily driver for a week, there’s nothing bad we can say about its everyday performance. The apps load quickly, the touch response is snappy, and multitasking on the device is a breeze. During the review period, the Samsung Galaxy M55 did not once bother us with any unexpected malfunction. Our experience was entirely jitter-free.
The gaming experience offered by the Galaxy M55 is satisfactory. We stuck to a 60fps frame rate and were happy with the seamless gameplay experience on titles like Call of Duty Mobile and Asphalt 9. The internal temperature of the smartphone started rising after hitting the 30-minute mark, but it braved through and provided relatively stutter-free gameplay. With that being said, if you prioritise the frame rate and elite in-game graphics, there are better smartphones out there than the M55.
There is not much to complain about on the software front either, as you get the full OneUI 6.1 experience on this device. Gone are the days when affordable M Series smartphones were bogged down by the ‘Core’ version of the OS. You get Knox security on this device. Certain flagship-exclusive features like Galaxy AI and Samsung DeX are missing from the device, but that is also the case with the midrange A Series smartphones.
The presence of bloatware apps does marr the software experience, but thankfully all of the additional apps can be uninstalled from the device. Samsung’s ‘Shelf’ widget is also ridden with ads, but you can remove and replace the sponsored panel with useful widgets. Putting a neat bow on the OS experience is Samsung’s promise of 4 major updates and 5 years of security patches for the M55. You won’t find better future-proofing from any other OEM in this category.
Samsung’s M Series is known for its versatile battery performance and the M55 carries forward the mantle passed on to it by last year’s M54. Although it is equipped with a smaller 5,000 mAh battery pack (the M54 had a 6,000 mAh battery), it was still able to clock 6-7 hours of Screen on Time with ease. Our daily tasks on the Samsung Galaxy M55 during the review period consisted of video calling, social media browsing, IMing, navigation, media streaming, and gaming. 45W charging support is also a welcome upgrade as the M55 takes just under 50 minutes to fully charge. In comparison, it took us 90 minutes to charge the Galaxy A35.
Moving on, the camera performance on offer here is certainly above average but not something that sets the benchmark for the category. The rear camera setup comprises a 50MP primary shooter, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 2MP macro sensor. A 50MP sensor fulfils the role of the selfie camera.
In outdoor daylight conditions, the 50MP primary shooter captures balanced pictures without subjecting them to excessive processing. The dynamic range is good, the shadows are crisp, and the images pack a lot of detail. While the colours certainly ‘pop’, they lack the tuning found in other Samsung smartphones. This isn’t a dealbreaker for us, but if you’re expecting colour science in the mould of A55 and A35, you will be left wanting more here.
Images taken with the 8MP ultrawide lens are good, but there is a noticeable shift in the vibrancy of colours. We were happy with the field of view captured by this lens, but it didn’t enthral us with anything special. The macro sensor completes the triple camera layout, but it fails to leave a lasting impression.
Ultrawide ShotUltrawide Shot
Images taken in limited lighting using the primary shooter are well-composed and brightened to the right degree. The Night Mode plays a part in artificially brightening the subject and the phone does a good job of assigning colours to the images. The only downside is that shooting pictures in Night Mode requires holding the phone still for 8 seconds.
Ultrawide Shot
In Portrait Mode, the M55 does a good job of separating the subject from its background and applying the optimum level of blur. The 50MP selfie camera also captures good images but tends to brighten the skin tone of the subject. The good thing is that this front-facing camera can record 4K videos at 30fps. The primary shooter can accomplish this task as well.
The Samsung Galaxy M55 is a great buy at Rs 27,000 if you’re willing to make certain tradeoffs. The glass back panel or IP67 rating of its A series cousins are missing from the M55, but its Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset ensures smooth functioning for casual and heavy users alike. When it comes to battery performance, the M55 has the A35 (and even the A55) comfortably beat. And while its pictures may not be in line with Samsung’s signature shots, the M55’s camera is still incredibly fun to use.

Phone 16 Series to receive design and display changes.
iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, may feature larger displays.
iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, may feature new camera alignment.
Capacitive buttons are also expected in the iPhone 16 series.
Online leaks allegedly detailing the Apple iPhone 16 lineup have surfaced on the web. There may be a significant redesign of the iPhone 16 series in terms of layout and screen sizes. The iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Plus, and iPhone 16 Pro Max are shown as fake phones in leaks providing an overview of the models’ rear designs and possible size upgrades.
Sonny Dickson posted the pictures on X, and MacRumors said that they show four mockups that stand in for the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Plus, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. According to a fresh reveal, the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus may get a new camera alignment, while the Pro models—the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max—may get larger displays. The photos suggest that the iPhone 16 Pro will have a 6.3-inch display. Whereas, the iPhone 16 Pro Max would have a 6.9-inch display.
Note that iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max come with a 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch display, respectively. On the other hand, the iPhone 16 Plus is expected to carry over its predecessor’s 6.7-inch display, while the standard iPhone 16 is expected to keep its 6.1-inch display. The leaked image also shows how these sizes compare to the other models in the lineup.
Note that Apple has had constant design and display for the past three years. But this time the company is expected to bring changes with its upcoming lineup. So far we now know that the Pro models might have larger displays whereas the Non-Pro models are likely to retain the same display size. But the lineup may see more design modifications; the non-pro models may use a vertically oriented camera module similar to that we have seen on the previous models iPhone 11 and iPhone 12. It looks like the LED flash is not within the module.
There are rumours that the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will be able to record spatial video thanks to the vertically aligned camera alignment. According to a report, the traditional power button and volume rockers on the iPhone 16 series may be replaced by capacitive buttons. Also, the non-pro models are expected to have the Action button, which is currently exclusive to the Pro models.

In addition to this, as soon as the smartphone launches in India it will be available via Flipkart, Samsung.com and across select retail stores for purchase.
It is anticipated that the Samsung Galaxy F55 5G, a redesigned Galaxy C55 5G, will debut in India. C55 5G made its debut earlier this month in China. So the upcoming model is expected to share Galaxy C55’s features and design.
The Galaxy C55 5G and the Samsung Galaxy F55 5G share a similar design, according to the company’s teaser. Even the colour choice is comparable to the Orange phone model that was introduced in China. Additionally, the device was unveiled in a Black colour variant. The Galaxy F55 5G might get this shade as an option here in India as well.

While browsing a locality on Google Maps, you may have come across customised icons for certain locations. These icons typically display the logo or branding of the business. Clicking on the location reveals that it is a sponsored result. These ads aren’t as invasive as banner advertisements, but they are still pesky. Here are the top 4 ways to turn off business ads in Google Maps.
Unsurprisingly, Google Maps does not have the option to turn off sponsored content. If you’re using the app for navigation or looking up places near you, you are bound to come across a bunch of ads. For more organic results, you need to look past the sponsored content. While there is no way to turn off these ads for good, there is something you can do to remove them from the map for now.
Most of the ads you see on Google Maps are personalised. Google examines your past activity to suggest ads that are relevant to your interests. You can turn off personalised ads in Google Account settings to avoid targeted advertisements. We’ve noticed that turning off this setting completely removes the business ads on Google Maps for now, but that may not be the case in the future.
Turn off business ads in Google Maps
Step 1: Go to Settings and select Google.
Step 2: Select your Google Account.
Step 3: Tap on Personalise using shared data.
Step 4: Turn off the toggle switch for Maps.
Turn off Ad Personalisation on PC
Step 1: Go to your Google Account.
Step 2: Switch to the Data & privacy tab.
Step 3: Click on My Ad Center.
Step 4: Click on ‘On’ next to Personalised ads and select Turn off.
Switch layers
Switching to a different layer often reduces the number of ads on the map. Google Maps currently offers 3 layers — Default, Satellite, and Terrain. Here’s how you can switch among them.
Step 2: Hit the layers icon on the left side of the screen.
Step 3: Choose your preferred layer.
Use Google Maps on a web browser
If you’re getting too many ads on the Google Maps app, using the service on a web browser might help. Make sure you are signed into your Google account on the web browser to retain all your saved places in Google Maps.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Most people prefer using apps instead of a web browser on their smartphones. Google Chrome recognises the link you’re opening and automatically redirects you to the app that supports it. This is a seamless process, but you may not want it to take place all the time. Today, we bring you the top 7 ways to stop Google Chrome from automatically opening apps on Android.
Why you should stop Google Chrome from automatically opening apps
Android apps are optimised to work faster than their web counterparts. However, there are some cases when you would want to stick to the web browser instead of the app. For example, if you want to watch a YouTube video but don’t want it to influence the algorithm that dictates your feed, it is better to open it in a web browser.
If you want to browse Facebook anonymously, you should prevent Chrome from opening the app when you tap on the supported link. The same goes when you’re trying to make a payment using Paytm, but with a different UPI ID than the one registered in the app on your phone.
Disable Instant Apps
Step 1: Go to Settings and select Apps.
Step 2: Tap on Default apps.
Step 3: Select Opening links.
Step 4: Turn off the toggle switch for Instant Apps.
Stop Google Chrome from automatically opening a specific app
If there’s just one app that you don’t want Chrome to open automatically every time you tap a supported link, use this method.
Step 1: Go to Settings and select Apps.
Step 2: Select App management.
Step 3: Tap on the app you wish to disable.
Step 4: Select Open by default.
Step 5: Turn off the toggle switch for Open supported links.
Disable Upgrade Web Links
Step 1: Launch the Google Play Store and hit your profile icon at the top right corner of the screen.
Step 2: Go to Settings and select General.
Step 3: Tap on Google Play Instant.
Step 4: Turn off the toggle switch for Ugrade web links.
Use the incognito tab
The incognito tab on Google Chrome lets you browse the web anonymously. This prevents Chrome from automatically redirecting you to an app when you open a website supported by it. The only downside of using this method is that you will need to log into the website again.
Use Google Chrome in Secure Folder (Samsung)
Step 1: On your Samsung phone, go to Settings.
Step 2: Tap on Security and privacy.
Step 3: Select More security settings.
Step 4: Tap on Secure Folder.
Step 5: Hit Continue.
Step 6: Set up a password.
Step 7: Hit Next.
Step 8: Tap the plus icon.
Step 9: Tap on Chrome and hit Add.
Update Google Chrome
Sometimes, the older, bug-ridden versions of Google Chrome can override the ‘Opening Links’ settings and launch an app by default as soon as you tap a supported link. Luckily, developers push out routine updates to weed out these kinds of bugs. Keep the Chrome app on your phone updated to the latest version to patch it. Go to the Play Store, seach for Chrome, and hit the ‘Update’ button on its official page.
Use another browser
If you can’t get Google Chrome to stop opening other apps automatically on your phone, use another third-party browser instead. We’d recommend using a privacy-focused browser like Brave or DuckDuckGo. These browsers ask for your permission before opening another app on your phone.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I open a link on Google Chrome instead of the supported app?
Go to Settings>Apps>Default Apps>Opening links and turn off the toggle switch for Instant Apps.
How do I keep Google Chrome from opening a specific app every time I tap its link?
Go to Settings>Apps and select the app you want to keep from opening by default. Tap on ‘Open by default’ and turn off the toggle switch for ‘Open supported links’.
How do I clear an app’s cache on Android?
Go to Settings>Apps, select the app, tap on ‘Storage’, and hit ‘Clear cache’.
How do I stop Google Chrome from automatically opening apps every time I click on a link?
Open the link in incognito mode if you want to prevent Chrome from automatically opening it in the supported app. Alternatively, if you own a Samsung phone, use Chrome in the Secure Folder.
How do I use Google Chrome in incognito mode on my Android phone?
Launch the Google Chrome app, tap the ellipses, and select ‘New Incognito Tab’.
These are the top 7 ways to stop Google Chrome from automatically opening apps on Android. If these fixes don’t work out for you, uninstall Chrome and then reinstall it on your device. Got any other methods of fixing this issue? Let us know in the comments!

This function is free to use and accessible to both personal account holders and Google Workspace users with paid subscriptions.
Google added the ability for hosts and co-hosts to pin up to three individuals on the screen to Google Meet earlier this year. The feature is useful in large meetings. Up to three specified tiles can now be pinned for each meeting attendee by the meeting host or co-host. By doing this, participants won’t need to do any action on their end to view the same individuals, presentations, or items highlighted on the screen.

If you’re the kind of Chrome user who works with multiple open tabs at any given time, you must be familiar with the startling audio pop-ups that don’t go away until they’re located and turned off. Some websites purposely make it hard to locate the pop-up. Luckily, Chrome lets you mute any website with just a couple of clicks. If the website is open on multiple tabs, all of them will get muted using this action. Today, we bring you the top 4 ways to mute a site or tab in Google Chrome.
When you play audio on a particular tab, a speaker icon is displayed on the tab. Earlier, clicking on this icon muted the tab. Now, you can only mute the website by right-clicking the tab and selecting the appropriate option. If you’re playing YouTube on several tabs, this option will mute the website on all of those tabs. This may not be what you wanted in the first place.
Even though Chrome does not offer the option to mute individual tabs anymore, you can use one of its ‘experimental’ features to carry out that action. If this experiential feature is not available on your device, you can always use the ‘Mute Tab’ extension. The latter requires you to open the tab in order to mute it, while the former lets you mute any tab, no matter which tab you’re currently working on.
Mute a site on Google Chrome
Step 1:Right-click on the tab playing the audio.
Step 2: Select Mute Site.
