Cartoonified images and animated avatars are all the rage these days. These cute animated versions of your photos are very easy to produce and do not take a lot of skill. There are several apps on the Google Play Store that will do most of the work for you. However, some may require a subscription fee, depending on the work they are putting into editing your images. So, without further ado, here are our picks for the best Android apps to turn your photos into cartoons.
ToonMe offers a bunch of filters to cartoonize your images. This app is very simple to use and it won’t take you more than a few taps to turn a photo into a cartoon. The filters are filed into neat categories like ‘top’, ‘trending’, and ‘recent’. If you don’t want to use these filters on your pictures, ToonMe has its own gallery of images that you can use them on. The app is free to use but has some ads overlaid on its interface.
Lensa
If you’re not familiar with AI-powered photo editing apps, you are seriously missing out. The results from an AI edit blow any cartoon filter out of the water. Leading the pack of AI photo editing apps is Lensa. You may have seen some images from this app floating around the Internet. The only downside is that you have to pay for a subscription package. Once that is taken care of, you will need to upload a bunch of selfies and Lensa will deliver the results after some time.
Voila AI Artist Cartoon Avatar
Another great app that uses AI to cartoonize your images is Voila. What’s special about Voila is that it gives the user different options for what they want their images to look like. You can choose to turn your photo into a funny cartoon, pencil sketch, renaissance painting, caricature, or a 3D cartoon. The app is easy to use and offers a bunch of premium features as a part of its paid subscription.
Cartoon Photo Editor
Cartoon Photo Editor is completely free to use and brings you a bunch of cartoon filters to play around with. These include cartoons, pencil drawings, sketches, oil paintings, and more. You can either apply one of these filters to an image from your gallery or you can take a picture from the camera interface within the app itself. The camera integration within this app is pretty decent and comes with basic features like zooming and autofocus. You can share the results with your friends from within the app itself.
Comics and Cartoon Maker
Want more than just cartoons? Turn your images into comics! Comics and Cartoon Maker turns the photos in your gallery into cartoons and allows you to edit them further by adding effects and speech bubbles. Now you can tell a story using the pictures on your phone. This comic photo app is very accessible to use and doesn’t require any photo editing skills to get the desired result. The app does most of the work for you.
Sketch Me!
Sketch Me has a four-star rating on Google Play Store with over 28 thousand votes. With just one click, this app turns your photos into cartoons, drawings, or sketches. The app offers an impressive amount of effects, letting users control the brush strokes, edge strength, opacity, and more. Users can also change the overall look of the image by controlling the contrast, brightness, and saturation.
These are our pics for the best Android apps that help you turn your photos into cartoons. If you’re looking for a simple-to-use app that offers basic cartoon filters, go for something like ToonMe or Cartoon Photo Editor. However, if you want a stunning image that looks close to a commissioned artwork, go for one of the AI-powered apps like Lensa and Voila.

Until 2016, Reddit did not have an official mobile app. When it finally saw the light of day, it had some glaring issues, some that remain unresolved to this day. One of the biggest problems that users have with the official Reddit app is that it sends unnecessary notifications, from subreddits they aren’t even subscribed to. Luckily, there are a bunch of third-party apps for Reddit that have existed since before the official app arrived on the scene. These apps offer a superior browsing experience and have had years to iron out any minor issues that users may face on the platform. In this article, we bring you our picks for the best third-party Reddit apps in 2023.
rif is fun for Reddit, previously known as ‘reddit is fun’, is one of the oldest and best third-party Reddit apps on Android. This app simplifies the Reddit experience without compromising on any of the features. You can browse subreddits by simply swiping right and scrolling through your subscribed communities. Got multiple accounts for Reddit? You can easily switch between them using reddit is fun. This app also has a helpful dark mode which makes your scrolling experience easy on the eyes.
What we like about reddit is fun is that its interface is close to what the ‘old’ reddit used to be. More attention is paid to the text than the media (although you can switch it up by enabling media cards in Settings). The app’s native media player can load videos from several platforms that are popular on Reddit.
BaconReader
If you like the content that’s on Reddit but have always been discouraged by the boring look of the website, give BaconReader a try. This app makes use of Android’s Material You design language and brings a new level of accessibility to the content aggregator website. Have trouble keeping up with long chains of comments? You can colour-code them with BaconReader. Apart from thematic customisations, BaconReader offers its users powerful tools, making it the go-to app for Reddit moderators.
Relay for Reddit
Relay is similar to BaconReader when it comes to utilising Material You to elevate the browsing experience. If you the media on Reddit to get the spotlight while scrolling through your feed, you can enable the card interface. The card interface enlarges the thumbnails and images on the posts and makes them the primary focus. Relay also has support for gesture-based navigation, something not many Reddit apps can boast about. Other than that, you will find all the regular features like custom feeds, saved folder, multi-account login, and more on Relay.
Boost for Reddit
Boost for Reddit doesn’t stray too far from the official Reddit app when it comes to design, but it has a bunch of handy features and isn’t prone to a lot of bugs. If you’re tired of the constant pesky notifications you receive from the official Reddit app, you’d be pleased to know that Boost isn’t as invasive. Even though it replicates the standard Reddit app experience, there are a ton of design customisations on offer. The app also comes with basic functions like multi-account login, cards for media, spoiler tags, and more. The app also has an impressive widget for your Android phone’s home screen.
Infinity for Reddit
Considered by many to be the best third-party app for Reddit, Infinity goes beyond its way to bring you a ton of customisation options that can alter the entire browsing experience. For example, if you cannot access the hamburger menu due to gesture-based navigation on your smartphone, you can easily ditch it for a bottom navigation menu. There is also a unique ‘Lazy Mode’ on offer that auto-scrolls your Reddit feed at a preset time interval.
Now for Reddit
Quick, clean, and minimal, Now is one of the best light apps for Reddit. Being just 5MB in size Now misses out on the bells and whistles that come with other apps in this list. What you do get is a fast, smooth, and mostly ad-free browsing experience for Reddit. If you’re looking for an app to simply follow your favourite subreddits and comment on the posts, Now would be a good addition to your list of apps. There is a premium version of the app on offer as well, which offers a few more features.
RedReader
RedReader is an open-source app for Reddit and has a few advantages that no other app can boast about. Firstly, RedReader hosts no ads on its platforms, offering a clean browsing experience. On top of that, RedReader does not monitor your browsing activity. The app offers basic features like multi-account login, dark mode, tablet mode, and imgur/gfycat support.
This is our list of the 7 best third-party apps for Reddit in 2023. Selecting the perfect app depends on the kind of user you are. If your Reddit activity involves moderating a couple of subreddits, we would suggest using BaconReader or Relay. For regular users, reddit is fun would be more appropriate. If you use Reddit mostly on your PC and just need an app to catch up with what you’ve missed, we would suggest a lightweight app like Now.

Over the years, Android has taken significant measures to limit the access that apps have to your phone’s location services. You will rarely find any apps that require location permission if it isn’t necessary for their functioning. You can also decide when the app is allowed to access your location. With so many different privacy options onboard, one would think that it must be impossible for apps to gain access to your location without your knowledge. Well, that may not be true. Certain apps can find a way to track your phone even when location services are turned off. Let’s take a quick look at how this happens.
Is it possible my phone is being tracked even when the location services are turned off?
While apps rely on your phone’s location services to determine where you are at any given time, it isn’t the only way that you can be tracked. You may be aware of how your live location can be triangulated with the help of cell towers by using your phone’s IMEI number. Certain spyware can be manipulated to record your phone’s location every time it establishes contact with a nearby cell tower. This may not yield accurate results but it can still give a general idea of your location to any malicious entities.
Malware apps are notorious for tracking your device’s location inconspicuously. These apps have access to your phone’s location services and can gather data from them even when the interface shows they are ‘turned off’. It is recommended that you do not download any apps from unverified sources as that can increase the risk of malware infecting your device. You should also run frequent malware checks on your phone to ensure there aren’t any malicious apps running in the background.
According to Princeton University researches, it is theoretically possible for an app to determine your phone’s location by using its internal sensors and correlating the data with the time zone you’re in. This technique is called ‘PinMe’. This process is extremely hard to detect since it doesn’t require location services and the actual data collected is minimal. To avoid the risk of being tracked without your consent, make sure that your phone’s sensors are turned off when they aren’t in use.
Some people may argue that as long as you have a smartphone on you, it is always possible to be tracked. Under ordinary circumstances, your privacy is relatively secure if you turn off the location access for all apps on the system. While you can still be tracked using your IMEI number, it is not something that a layman has the tools to do. But in the case of a malware infection, your privacy is put at a massive risk. Read this article to know how you can remove malware from Android and iOS smartphones.
Google has already removed 36 dangerous Android apps from the Play Store. These apps were first identified by McAfee when it came across several Android Apps that were capable of carrying out a number of tasks without the owner’s knowledge or authorization.
According to research done by McAfee’s Mobile Research Team, they have found a software library and have given it the moniker Goldoson. What it does is it compiles lists of installed apps, a history of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth device information, and GPS coordinates of nearby devices. The report says that the library is capable to perform ad fraud by clicking on ads in the background without the user’s knowledge or permission. As the app is running, the Goldoson library registers the device and obtains remote configurations. As per the report each app uses a different library name and remote server domain, both of which are obscured. The name Goldoson is quoted after the first domain name was discovered.
More than 60 apps have been discovered containing this third-party harmful library with more than 100 million downloads confirmed in South Korea’s ONE store and Google Play app download platforms.
Google quickly responded after receiving a complaint from McAfee about the detected apps. According to reports, Google has informed the developers that their apps are in violation of Google Play policies and fixes are needed to reach compliance. While other apps received updates from the original developers, some were taken off Google Play. Users are asked to update the apps to the latest version to remove the identified threat from their devices.
Users in other countries, including users in India, should not worry because they are just South Korean-based infected apps, according to research. Reportedly
Reportedly Android 11 and later users are better protected from apps that try to collect all installed apps. But McAfee has observed that the most recent version of Android has about 10% of the Goldoson-compatible apps that have the permission “QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES” that allows them to access app information.
Similarly, users of Android 6.0 or later may be prompted for permissions like Location, Storage, or Camera at runtime. If the users give the location permission then the app can access not only GPS data but also Wi-Fi and Bluetooth device information nearby. “Based on BSSID (Basic Service Set Identifier) and RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator), the application can determine the location of the device more accurately than GPS, especially indoors.”

Apple makes it hard for platforms outside its ‘walled garden’ to seamlessly connect with its devices. This is why even after so many years, there is no native service that offers all cross-platform connectivity features in one place. That soon may change with Microsoft Phone Link, if the app manages to fix its glaring preexisting issues. So, what is the best way to go about linking your iPhone to your computer? In this article, we bring you the top 5 easy methods to connect your iPhone to a Windows 11 PC.
If you just want to view the contents of your iPhone on your Windows 11 PC, connecting it using a lightning to USB Type-A cable is the easiest way to go about it. Simply plug the lightning end of the cable into your iPhone and the USB Type-A end into your PC. Tap on ‘Trust’ in the popup box on your iPhone to give your PC access to your smartphone. Once that is done, a temporary drive for your iPhone will appear on your PC. You can access it by going to ‘This PC’ or clicking on it in File Explorer.
Since iPhone is pretty restrictive about giving non-Apple devices access to its system files, you will only be able to view and transfer photos and videos from your iPhone to your PC. You can browse the folders and choose which media files you want to copy or you can simply right-click on the iPhone’s drive and select ‘Import pictures and videos’.
Use iTunes to connect your iPhone to a Windows 11 PC
Apple users will already be familiar with iTunes. Using iTunes, you can sync your iPhone with your Mac quite easily. Microsoft has an iTunes app as well, which allows you to do the same thing. One of the advantages of using iTunes is that it lets you sync more data than just your media files.
Once you’ve installed iTunes from the Microsoft Store, you need to sign in using your Apple ID. You will need to enter a code sent to you on your iPhone to complete the verification. Make sure your iPhone is connected to your PC with a data cable. Once that is out of the way, all you need to do is click on the phone icon in iTunes and hit the sync button. Under ‘Options’ click on ‘Synch with this iPhone over WiFi’ to enable wireless syncing.
Use a third-party app
There are several third-party apps for Windows and iOS that let you seamlessly transfer stuff between the two platforms. One of the best ones out there is Airdroid. What we like about Airdroid is how easy it is to set it up and how accessible its interface is.
All you need to do is download the Airdroid app on your iPhone and make an account on it. You will need this account to log in to Airdroid from your PC as well. Once you’ve set up your account, go to the Airdroid website using your PC’s browser and sign up using the account you just created. Now, you will be able to access the media files on your iPhone and seamlessly transfer them to your Windows 11 PC.
Use Microsoft Phone Link
What if you are more interested in taking calls and using iMessage remotely instead of transferring files? Well, Microsoft has a solution for that too now. The tech giant recently rolled out Microsoft Phone Link for iOS, and while it still may be in its early stages, you can still do more than what was possible before. Here’s how you can respond to texts on iMessage from your Windows 11 PC.
Step 1: On your PC, go to Settings>Windows Update>Windows Insider Program and select Get Started.
Step 2: Download and Install the Microsoft Phone Link app on your Windows PC or laptop.
Step 3: Install the Link to Windows iOS app on your iPhone from the App Store.
Step 4: Launch the Phone Link app on your PC and select iPhone.
Step 5: Sign in to Phone Link using your Microsoft Account.
Step 6: Launch the Link to Windows app on your iPhone and scan the QR displayed on the Windows app.
Step 7: Give the app the necessary permissions to connect to your Windows PC or laptop.
Once connected, you will be able to send and receive iMessages from your PC.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I pair my iPhone with my computer?
You can either use a data cable to transfer media files between your iPhone and computer. Use iTunes to sync your iPhone data with your PC. To respond to texts on iMessage, use Microsoft Phone Link.
How do I connect my iPhone to a Windows computer wirelessly?
Turn on WiFi syncing on iTunes or use the Microsoft Phone Link app for a wireless connection between your iPhone and Windows computer.
How do I access iMessage on a Windows PC?
Right now, using the Microsoft Phone Link app is the only native way to access iMessage on your PC. You will be able to respond to basic texts, but currently, there is no way to send images on iMessage from your PC.
These are the top 5 easy methods to connect your iPhone to a Windows 11 PC. If you simply want to transfer media files from your iPhone to a Windows computer, then a basic data cable connection is the fastest way to go about it. You can import all your images and videos to your PC with just one simple click. For extensive data syncing, use iTunes.
Everyone loves a fun Spotify Infographic. While you may have to wait for Spotify Wrapped to drop by the end of the year, there are other fun tools that offer new insights about your listening habits. One of the main problems with Spotify Wrapped is that it only gives you an account of your activity in the last year. But what if you want to take a look at your all-time listening stats? Well, Spotify Icebergify may just be the tool for you. So, what exactly is Spotify Icebergify and how can you create your own musical Iceberg? Read along to find out.
Spotify Icebergify is an open-source tool developed by Akshay Raj. This tool goes through your listening history on Spotify and creates an infographic of your most-listened artists categorised by their popularity. Since the artists are listed on an iceberg, the tool is called ‘Icebergify’. The artists that appear at the top of the iceberg rank higher in popularity than the ones below it.
Icebergify uses streams, shares, saves, likes, and followers to determine the popularity of an artist. If a level in your Spotify Iceberg does not feature an artist, it means you do not listen to any artists that match that level of popularity. Icebergify takes into account 50 of your most listened artists. This includes artists you have just started listening to and the ones that you have consistently listened to in the long term.
Here’s how you can create your Spotify Iceberg
Step 1: Go to the official Icebergify website using the web browser on your PC or smartphone.
Step 2: Click on ‘Create Yours’.
Step 3: Log in to your Spotify account. If you don’t know which email you used to sign up for Spotify, launch the Spotify app and tap on the gear icon. Your email will be displayed in the Account section.
Step 4: Grant Icebergify permission to view your Spotify account data and listening activity.
Step 5: Once the appropriate permission has been given, Icebergify will create your Spotify Iceberg based on the artists you have listened to that month.
Step 6: Select ‘click here to see your all-time iceberg’ to have a look at how the iceberg looks when your entire listening history is taken into account.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s a Spotify Iceberg?
A Spotify Iceberg is an online tool that goes through all your most listened artists on Spotify and sorts them by the order of their popularity. The most popular artist show up on the tip of the iceberg, while the lesser-known artists are listed at the bottom.
How do I use Iceberg on Spotify?
Simply go to https://icebergify.com/ and grant Icebergify the necessary permissions to create your personal infographic.
Why is Icebergify not loading for me?
If the Icebergify website is flooded with too much traffic, it may go down for a while. Try again after some time to see if it works for you.
While Spotify Icebergify is a fun tool to play around with, it is only as good as the data it is served with. Your Spotify Iceberg relies on the quality of your Spotify listening habits. If you haven’t listened to many artists in a particular month, then your iceberg for that month may not be the best representation of your actual taste.
In India, tons of low-cost smartphones in the Rs 10,000 price range have been released in the last 2-3 quarters. Another recently released entry-level smartphone with a price under Rs 8,000 is the Poco C51. Let’s go further into the Poco C51 Review, beginning with the design aspect.
Poco C51 Review: Design and Display
Speaking of the design and build quality, the Poco C51’s back features a leather-like texture that sets it apart from other smartphones in this category. Although we are reviewing the blue version, it is also available in black. The upper left corner of the device has a dual back camera setup. There is a fingerprint sensor on the back as well, and it functions extremely well and is quite quick to unlock the mobile.
On top, there is a single speaker, while the bottom has a microphone, a micro USB connector, and a headphone jack. On the left side of the plastic frame, there is a SIM tray that can hold two nano SIM cards and supports an SD card with up to 1TB storage. On the right, you get the power and volume rocker buttons.
On the front, a teardrop-shaped notch houses a selfie camera. It has a waterdrop-shaped 6.52-inch HD+ display with a resolution of 720 x 1,600 pixels. The display sports 400 nits of brightness and 120Hz touch sampling rate is also supported. The text is easily readable and the colour reproduction is respectable.
Using this phone, we also watched few videos, and the experience was generally positive. Widevine L3 certification allows content from services like Netflix and Prime Videos to stream at a maximum resolution of 540p. The upside is that YouTube videos can stream in HD at 60 frames per second and play incredibly fluidly without any lag or buffering.
The single top-firing speaker also loud enough to hear music.
The device is flat and generally quite slim, with an (as said) good texture that gives it a particularly wonderful grip in your hand. You will need to purchase a cover separately because one is not included in the box. Despite the fact that the front screen is protected by Panda glass, we strongly advise using a phone cover.
Poco C51 Review: Performance and Camera
When it comes to performance, the Poco C51 is equipped with 64GB internal storage space, 4GB of RAM, and an octa-core MediaTek Helio G36 Processor. The device we have arrived with 4GB LPDDR4x RAM with the ability to add 3GB virtual RAM for a total of 7GB RAM. This helps with multitasking and speeds up the process of launching apps.
Although it isn’t a powerhouse, it is incredibly battery-efficient and capable of handling typical daily tasks with ease. You can use it for casual gaming, email, WhatsApp, cameras, and social networking apps.
A point to remember, this is not a dedicated gaming device, we advise you to stick to simple/casual games like Candy Crush or Subway Surfer for gaming. Obviously, all of these simple games will function without any issues. But the demanding ones will take a toll.
The operating system is Android 13 Go Edition, which is largely stock Android with a few useful features. You also receive the popular MIUI dialer, for example. It is neat and uncomplicated, and you may record calls without hearing the annoying recording disclaimer.
Even for someone who is using a smartphone for the first time, the user experience of the Poco C51 is overall quite basic to use yet fluid. Keep in mind that because the gadget only supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi on a single band, downloading huge files will take a little longer.
The Poco C51 has two rear cameras, one with an 8-megapixel primary sensor and the other with a 2-megapixel depth sensor. Also, the gadget has a 5-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies. The smartphone additionally provides a 1080p @ 30fps video recording option. Although we didn’t have high expectations for its camera, astonishingly the primary sensor with HDR does a respectable job. There is a lot of detail in the images.
The portrait photographs have decent edge detection and are generally satisfactory. The 5-megapixel selfies are crisp and wide. Skin tones are also fair to decent.
Moreover, the rear camera can record Full HD films at a respectable 30 frames per second. Amazingly, even the front camera can record Full HD videos at 30 frames per second.
In terms of the battery, the Poco C51 has a large 5,000mAh battery that, under normal usage conditions, will last you between one to two days, which is excellent. However, it would take two to three hours for the 10W supplied charger to completely charge.
Verdict
Poco C51 is a useful smartphone that can easily manage the majority of basic tasks. It includes a fresh Android 13 OS. One must purchase a cover separately because there is none included with the phone. In order to reduce costs, the business has also included a micro USB connector for charging, which we don’t really like. A USB-C type port might have been the better choice.
Overall, the Poco C51 won’t let you down if all you want is a phone for everyday use that costs less than Rs 8,000. You can definitely think about getting your parents or grandparents this phone too, who are graduating from a feature phone.
Apple is set to open its first-ever retail stores in India this week The first two Apple stores in India are going to launch in Mumbai and Delhi.

Around 450,000 distinct pieces of wood were used, all of which were put together in Delhi. There are two Rajasthani stone walls and a 14-meter stainless steel staircase leading from the ground floor to the cantilevered mezzanine welcome clients as they enter the store.
Visitors can explore the surrounding display tables and avenues featuring the latest iPhone, Mac, iPad, AirPods, Apple Watch, and Apple TV lineups, as well as accessories like AirTag. In addition to this, Apple BKC offers Apple Pickup, which makes it even easier for customers to make a purchase online and pick up goods at a time that suits them. More than 100 staff members of Apple BKC speak more than 20 different languages to assist customers. They can also provide information on the Apple Trade-In programme.

Meta-owned popular social media app and TikTok’s rival Instagram has unveiled new capabilities for its short-video creation tool to help creators in order to expand Reels’ functionality and visibility. A dedicated destination to find popular audio and hashtags, in addition to two new metrics to Reels insights, have been added to the app.
Instagram has brought a bunch of new features, mostly for creators. While making the announcement Instagram said, “We strive to make Instagram a home for creators like you to express your creativity, connect with your audience and earn a living. Today we’re announcing improvements to Reels — to empower you to do what you do best.”
The first tool has been added to the professional dashboard, where creators can easily find inspiration through trending audio and hashtags on Instagram Reels. The users will be able to see the top trending songs on Reels, see how many times the audio has been used, tap in to use it or save the audio for themselves.
In addition to this digital creators on Instagram, can see what the top trending topics and hashtags are on Reels. “For example, the festival season might be trending earlier than you think. We’ve found that people actually start sharing their #coachella content before the festival even begins. These are the types of insights you can tap into with the new trends destination,” the blog post said.
Editing videos on Instagram will also get better and easier by bringing together video clips, audio, stickers, and text on a unified editing screen. This offers a more visual alignment and timing of your reel’s element. Both iOS and Android devices can access this worldwide. Instagram is also updating reel insights by adding two new metrics: total watch time and average watch time – and making it easier to see your insights while viewing your reels directly. This will provide a better understanding of where viewers are interested or where you might need to develop a more engaging hook to keep them watching.
Total watch time tracks all viewing time for your reel, including any time spent watching it again. Whereas average watch time captures the average amount of time spent playing your reel, calculated by dividing watch time by the number of total plays. For instance, if your average watch time is 17 seconds, out of everyone who watched your Reel they watched an average of 17 seconds.
To help you see how your reels contribute to your growth you will now get a notification with new followers from your reels.
What’s more, Instagram has also announced to bring gifts to even more creators with upcoming expansions to more markets, including Australia, Canada, France, Mexico, New Zealand and the UK, in the coming weeks. In order to help you recognise your supporters, a new feature will be introduced to show you which followers have sent you gifts. Your supporters will receive a notification if you tap the heart icon next to them letting them know that you have seen and acknowledged their contribution, further strengthening the bond between you and your supporters.
‘Live Caption’ of the better recent features on Android smartphones. If you cannot find the subtitles for a movie or video, you can simply turn on Live Caption and let your Android phone generate them in real-time. Live Caption is also very useful for people with hearing impairment, allowing them to view the contents of any phone call, voice note, and more. In this article, we show you how to turn on live captions on any Xiaomi or Redmi smartphone.
This is how you can enable Live Caption on your Xiaomi or Redmi smartphone. Currently, Live Caption is only available for English audio. Once you’ve enabled live captions, you can toggle the size of the caption bar and place it anywhere on the screen. It also must be noted that Live Caption only works for speech and not songs.
