Snapchat may log you out of your account if its servers are down. Although server issues are very rare they are not out of the realm of possibility. To check if there’s any outage, go to DownDetector.in and search for Snapchat. The website will let you know if other users are experiencing similar issues as well.
Snapchat’s app cache contains temporary files that the app doesn’t want to download every time you launch it. This optimises the performance of the app and reduces the load time by a considerable margin. Oftentimes, the temporary files in the cache can get corrupted and cause unexpected issues. To clear these files, launch the Snapchat app on your phone and go to Profile>Settings>Clear Cache.
Step 2: Tap on Download and install.
Step 3: Select Install now.

Snapchat’s web interface offers all the essential features of the ephemeral messenger on your PC and Mac. Simply go to web.snapchat.com and log in using your Snapchat account to access the web portal. Once logged in, you can send and receive snaps, view stories, send texts, and make video and audio calls. However, if you want to add a new friend to Snapchat or post a story, you will need to use the mobile app. You also cannot view the Spotlight tab on Snapchat for PC. Another major drawback of this web portal is that it is currently only available for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.
Don’t want Snapchat to occupy an additional tab on your web browser? Download the desktop app instead. Go to the Microsoft Store and search for Snapchat. Open the app page and click on ‘Get’ to install it. Snapchat’s desktop app is the same as its web portal. The only advantage of using the app is that it can be accessed in its separate window, which declutters your web browser and gives you a bit of privacy.
Before Snapchat had a desktop app of its own, the only way to make it work on a PC or Mac was through an Android emulator. You can still explore that option if the web portal and desktop app don’t work for you. Bluestacks is one of the best Android emulators for this task. Once you’ve installed Bluestacks on your PC or Mac, simply log in using your Google account and download Snapchat from the Play Store. The app will operate like its Android version.

The pebble-shaped charging case has a matte-like texture with a glossy strip running across its circumference. We don’t get to say this quite often for entry-level earbuds, but the build quality here is amazing. Even though it’s an all-plastic case, it can easily absorb a few knocks. But what’s really impressive is the strength of the hinge, which is easily the best we’ve seen in this segment. You can fidget with the case all you want without worrying about the hinge loosening up.
At the bottom of the case, you will find the USB Type-C charging port along with a white notification light. The Redmi branding is engraved in the back panel, right underneath the hinge. The front of the case has no markings, recesses, or indents. While the design may be minimal, it doesn’t get in the way of functionality – you can easily flip open the case using just one finger.
The two earbuds are magnetically locked in a vertical position inside the charging case. The earbud housing panel is coloured grey, offering a nice contrast to the white exterior. The earbuds replicate the build quality of the charging case. You don’t have to worry about handling them with care. Xiaomi has gone for a standard in-ear design for the stem earbuds. A safe choice but a welcome one. The default medium-sized ear tips worked perfectly for us. For those struggling with the fit, there are two extra pairs of small and large size ear tips inside the retail box. We wore these earbuds while working out and did not face any problems with the fit even when things got sweaty. An IPX4 rating ensures that minor splashes and sweat won’t do any damage to the TWS.
Redmi Buds 4 Active has touch-sensitive outer panels for music playback and call controls. No controls have been assigned to single touches, which greatly reduces the risk of accidentally pausing the music or hanging up on a call while adjusting the earbuds. A very intelligent solution that we would like to see on other TWS as well.
Let’s get the specs out of the way first. These earbuds use 12mm drivers to deliver the audio output. The frequency range on offer is 20Hz – 24KHz. While the TWS offers Bluetooth 5.3 support, our minor complaint is that it does not support the AAC codec. It gets Google’s Fast Pair feature though, which is nice to see. There is also a low latency mode for gaming. Once connected to your device, these earbuds have a functional range of 10 metres.
We played a variety of artists and genres on the Redmi Buds 4 Active and never once felt like we were using an entry-level TWS. The audio output is very clearly bass-driven, but it makes for a fun listening experience. If your musical palate majorly comprises pop music, these earbuds won’t leave much room for complaints. While the low end may be boosted, the high and mid frequencies get the appropriate representation on the soundstage. We listened to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard’s newest release and were pleased with the overall output produced by the TWS.
The sound clarity can still be worked upon, even though it doesn’t stifle the listening experience in a major way. While listening to slowcore and ambient artists like Grouper and Aphex Twin, the gaps in detail were quite noticeable. The is a slight distortion in sound at the maximum volume. We’d suggest sticking within the 60-80% range.
There is also a low latency mode on offer, although we won’t recommend these earbuds strictly for gaming purposes. If you look around, there are a plethora of entry-level gaming TWS on offer, which would be more suited to your needs. The Redmi Buds 4 Active TWS does not claim to be a gaming TWS either. We put on the Buds 4 Active for a couple of COD Mobile sessions. The crip sounds were relayed really well on the earbuds, but the noticeable lag deterred us from keeping them on.
Moving on, the Redmi Buds 4 Active provides decent audio quality on voice calls in an indoor environment. We used the earbuds on cellular as well as WhatsApp calls. The ENC does a passable job of extracting the caller’s voice from the surrounding noise, but the relayed audio isn’t entirely devoid of disturbances. As is the case with most entry-level TWS, the quality of the microphones undermined the overall calling experience.
The Redmi Buds 4 Active can also be paired with the Xiaomi Earbuds app, but there’s not a whole lot of stuff you can do on it. Apart from toggling the low latency mode and renaming the earbuds the app offers no other options. We’d like to see Xiaomi flesh out this app with an update, allowing users to assign custom controls and even mess around with the equaliser settings.
Since we only used the Redmi Buds 4 Active for a few days, we cannot speak to its battery performance. We had the earbuds on for at least 2-3 hours every day and they never ran out of juice. Xiaomi claims a battery backup of almost 5 hours on the earbuds and an additional 30 hours in the case. This is in line with what we observed during our time with the TWS.

It was quickly removed from the App Store and Google Play Store. Similar to PUBG, it was outlawed and vanished from India.

Since Amazon Fire TV Stick does not have AirPlay support, you will need a third-party app to mirror your iPhone’s display on it. Here’s how you can go about it.
Step 1: Launch the Amazon Appstore on your Fire TV.
Step 2: Search and install the Airscreen app.
Step 3: Launch the Airscreen app on your Fire TV.

Talking a little bit more about the design, you get to see a shining Apple logo on the top lid, which can be opened with just one hand. Inside you get the 15-inch Liquid Retina (LCD) display (with 2,880×1,864 pixels resolution), which has a peak brightness of 500 nits. This might seem low on paper but when working it does not seem low. Truthfully, we worked on the machine while commuting and not once did we feel that the colours on the screen were washed out. The webcam is placed above the screen in a cut-out, which supports 1080p FHD resolution.
The bottom part of the Apple MacBook Air 15-inch has a large backlit keyboard, similar in size to that of the 13-inch version but with a larger trackpad. This is great for professionals on the go who do a lot of mouse/trackpad editing and less typing. This notebook is just 1.15 cm thick, which makes it one of the slimmest in the world. This means you cannot have the larger ports such as HDMI, but you do get a 3.5mm audio port on one side and the other side has two Thunderbolt/USB Type-C as well as the MagSafe 3 charging ports.
The display experience of the Apple MacBook Air 15-inch was out of this world. We played a lot of things in the new notebook. These included hours of Apple TV+, Netflix, YouTube videos and even video games. Not once did this machine flinch, hour on hour it delivered, and we loved it. The hues of the screen, thanks to the P3 wide colour gamut that supports 1 billion colours, are vivid and lively. The blacks are super deep, and you get pure joy when watching fast-paced action movies and even sports. The text displayed is crisp and the smooth scrolling of social feeds and websites is a delight.
Sound played an equally important role with the display and the six-speaker hidden setup, which consists of two tweeters and two sets of force-cancelling woofers, were a treat to the ears. Simply put the sound is out of this world and astonishes you at every step. No matter what you are doing on the new Apple MacBook Air 15-inch, the sound will never disappoint. It is great for movies, sports, video/audio editing and even games, so much so that you do not need to put the headphones on while eliminating the enemy in your favourite game. The Dolby Atmos-supported six-speaker setup is good enough.

The typing and everyday working experience of the Apple MacBook Air 15-inch is also great. We typed a lot of documents on this notebook and made a few Excel sheets and we were quite happy with the experience. Yes, you do need to get used to the MacOS experience when coming from a Windows laptop, but in a day or two, everything feels like home.
Talking about which, this laptop comes with MacOS Ventura out of the box and all the next OS upgrades will not cost you a penny. There are a lot of good things happening in the operating system as well. For example, with Universal Control you can control the Apple MacBook Air 15-inch and an iPad with a single keyboard and mouse.
You can even use the iPad as a second screen using the sidecar feature. Over that, you can airdrop files, images or documents from the Apple MacBook Air 15-inch to any other Mac, iPad and even the iPhone that is in close proximity. And yes, iCloud works seamlessly here too, and you can store images and contacts or access them with ease.
For ease of use a fingerprint sensor is also provided in the Apple MacBook Air 15-inch on the power button, so that you do not have to type the password every time to open it. To test the machine further we ran CineBench on it and it scored 7,449 points on the multi-core benchmark. This is much better than the latest AMDs or Intel CPUs.
Now coming to another important factor, its battery life. The Apple MacBook Air 15-inch sports a 66.5watt-hour lithium polymer battery which can be charged with the supplied 35w charger. Apple claims that it can last up to 18 hours (movie playback). The Apple MacBook Air 15-inch on our tests, which included watching movies, playing games, and working from morning till evening, the battery lasted for 14 hours.
So yes, we did a mix of things, and the WiFi was on at all times, which makes the 14 hours incredible. Even if the battery had lasted for 10 hours, we would have been happy as there are very few competing machines that can give this much of battery life. Apple does know how to finetune the battery life of its laptops, and the Apple MacBook Air 15-inch is no exception.

If you notice an immediate spike in battery usage on your phone, it is a tell-tale sign of an app using resources in the background. Your Android phone is pretty good at optimising the background usage of apps, it even lets you know when a particular app is consuming more battery than usual. When your phone is ‘hacked’ it needs constant access to your phone’s functions in order to keep tabs on your activity. This is why your phone’s battery drains faster when it has been hacked. If you’ve never had power issues with your phone before, this may warrant a thorough check-up.
Since batteries can deteriorate over time, you should also look for other suspicious signs in order to find out if your phone has been hacked. One of the biggest signs is excessive data usage. When a spy app gets access to your phone, it needs to report your activity to the entity that installed it. In order to do this, it uses your phone’s mobile data or the connected WiFi network. Go to Settings>Connections>Usage>Mobile data usage to check if there are any unaccounted data that has been used by your device.
There are several ways to hack a smartphone. One of the most common ones is the installation of a spy app. Once the app is installed, it either stays hidden or takes the form of an inconspicuous app (like Calculator, Calendar, or Notes) in order to blend into the app drawer. Once you open this app, it will carry out all the basic functions of the app it is disguising itself to be. But you will notice something off with the design or the performance. If you suspect that someone has hacked into your phone, it is a good idea to go through every app and give it a close look. You should also check out the list of apps from your phone’s settings to look for any hidden apps on your device.
