How to Disable/Turn Off Live Photos on iPhone Camera App on iOS 9

This should work for those using iPhone 6S/6S Plus, or iPhone SE Apple smartphones. The new Live feature on the camera app is quite exciting, in fact numerous iPhone users now use the upgrade on the photo camera app to create and share short videos on Social Media such as Facebook Live and so on, but there will be certain times when you don’t want to utilize it.
There’s also a negative side to it because it uses up your device’s memory as you create Live photos/videos, so to avoid or manage all that trouble, the best thing to do is Switch off this feature.

Apple iOS offers an option to manage this feature, this will enable you turn your Live photos Off or On right from the camera application on iPhones as long as you’re on iOS 9.


Guide to Turn off or Disable live photos on iPhone 6S or iPhone 6S Plus/ iPhone SE running iOS 9

Step 1: Open the Camera app on your iPhone/ iPad.

Step 2: Live photo is an online application on simple photo view type. Hence Live Photo option is not available for other Time-Lapse, Slo-Mo, Square, PANO type.


Step 3: From top camera view screen, Tap on the concentric shaped in circle. Next, enable it by selecting “ON” option. This normally enables Live Photo on iPhone.



Note: the yellow colored concentric shape circle indicates that Live photo is enabled and the White shows it's turned off Live photos on the iPhone, select the White.



Step 4: After selecting the white, you can now capture or take photos like you normally do (without Live feature).

Also note that once you enable/Turn on OR Disable/Turn off this feature, this setting is automatically saved for all time incase you re-open your camera app after closing it on iPhone 6S/ 6S Plus or iPhone SE, this doesn’t have effect on your previous setting on Live photos.

If you use other iPhone models (different from iPhone 6/ 6 Plus, iPhone 5S/ iPhone 5) with latest iOS 9 or 10 version, with such devices you won't be eligible to take live photos using Live photos apps and Sharing Live Photos on Social Media.

iOS 10: Rumored Features to be Included | Apple Pay, Siri, HomeKit and more

Since it's confirmed that the Apple's developer conference will be held in June the 13-17th which is very close at hand.
More features are been rumored to arrive on the next Apple's operating system, iOS 10.
Some parts of the iOS update will ordinarily come to fix bugs and few others will roll in with entirely new features on iOS 10 for Apple devices.
To begin with, we will have a new look on Apple Music, a bunch of App Store improvements, Apple Pay updates and exciting new features for Siri, Apple News and HomeKit.


Below are few features or things to look out for in iOS 10 once it arrives on your various iPhones and iPads.

Hiding Apps on iOS 10

Most users were confirmed to be anticipating for a way to hide stock Apps from Home Screen. This will likely be possible on iOS 10. Although, not everyone may use this though, more beautiful apps are coming, which are not really worth hiding.
For HomeKit, Apple is reportedly planning on launching a standalone app for it, removing the need to access it from within Siri and other third-party applications that manage accessories using it.

App store

The App store is going through some improvements on its search visibility and discovery features. It's also rumored that there will be a revamp on browsing the App store and paid search may likely be rolled in too.

Apple Music

Revamp is also coming to Apple Music on iOS 10 despite it had only existed for only a year. The UI of the App had been said it will likely get a redesign, and stick to only mostly black and white, although many users seem to be complaining about the coming redesign, among these users are the 13-million paid subscribers. This was due to the fact that iTunes seems to be struggling with the market for a while now.

Siri

Apple is taking Siri to Mac. This feature will be one of the flagship features to the line of Mac laptops that are running OS X 10. 12.
More rumors say Apple will have a Siri SDK ready at next month’s WWDC. And it sounds like, very much needed improvements for Siri on iOS 10 and for the Mac could be the focus of the event.

Apple iCloud and Security

Sometime last month, it was quite embarrassing for Apple as FBI went ahead to use a third-party to break into an iPhone not so long ago, now it's been reported that Apple is working tirelessly to improve its security systems for its users and their Apple prodcucts and gadgets. The new security features for iOS 10 will be announced at the WWDC event 2016.

Apple Pay

This new innovation from Apple had proved successful after its release for a while, we even shared about their arriving Canada weeks ago. Apple is reportedly looking for ways to expand Apple Pay's potentials by bringing in new  features that could include ability to use the App for ATM withdrawals, and also further expansion into more countries.
More details about these new features and plans for iOS 10 will be announced by Appl at the WWDC 2016 event.

WhatsApp is Truly Preparing Video Calling feature for users

Okay, a day before Christmas last December 2015, I published a post saying few Reasons WhatsApp Video Call Feature might be a Bad idea, but right now WhatsApp had gone ahead with preparation on new video call feature for the Chat or Instant Messenger App.


The innovation started 6 months back after screenshots of the feature leaked on iOS, this was the same period I published my opinion about it.
Around last week, users reported that a new BETA version 2.16.80 was released and they found the Option to tap a button to make Video Call although it was inactive.
Initially, Call button takes you directly place your call, but on this new update, you will find option to make either a Voice or Video Call.

The WhatsApp team is still testing things out, and from what we learnt, this update will be rolled out to Beta Testers and some Countries before eventually and gradually sending it out Globally since the team will have more amount of data to handle for billions of users after releasing the Video call feature.

Get Apple Music Student Membership as Apple slashes Price half for Students

There are heaps of streaming music services out now and it usually isn’t simply the amount and quality of the rear catalogue that dictates that we have a tendency to subscribe to them.

Apple Music is rolling out membership that will slash prices for students in the EU. This refers to Students enrolled in qualifying universities or colleges can join Apple Music at a discounted monthly rate. To get started go here.

Apple Music Student Membership


I recently discovered that in the EU (European Union) university graduates can pay a £12 Associate in a Nursingnual subscription to urge an NUS further card, which then entitles you to traditional student discounts in a form of places. One company that has utilised such a theme is Spotify, where the premium service will be signed to for £4.99 per month. Now Apple has declared a similar deal for college students, offering 0.5 value subscription.

That takes the prices right down to £4.99 a month and provides a similar service to Spotify, but there’s a difference: Apple uses a completely different system, not based on the NUS card, and instead checks that you’re an existing student. That means that the NUS further card isn’t applicable thus graduates cannot profit of the supply. Apple Music hasn’t had the best of starts, with criticisms about its style prompting rumours of a recent re-launch next month. Nonetheless, it already has a sizeable market share with 13 million subscribers, up from 11 million simply 3 months gone. Issues of the NUS card aside, would the students now be tempted to sign up for the Apple service over its rivals?

How to Add Card and Use Apple Pay in Canada (For iPhones, iPad and Apple Watch)

Today, Apple Pay had finally announced that its services had expanded, hence can be used by Canadians with credit cards from CIBC, RBC, ATB Financial, and Canadian Tire Financial Services.

Apple Pay is Apple’s mobile payment solution. It works with the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone SE and Apple Watch. Apple Pay will not work on the iPhone 5 or iPhone 5s because it lacks the necessary NFC chip but the small good news here is it will work if you connect your Apple Watch to it.
In addition, iOS users can make in-app Apple Pay purchases with Touch ID-equipped iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3, iPad mini 4 and iPad Pro.

In November 2015, their support for American Express credit cards was launched for Apple Pay debits and had already began issueing the service across Canadians. The good news seems to have come to fulfill that criteria.


How to Add Card to Apple Pay on the iPhone and Apple Watch:

Launch the Wallet App, known is Passbook from iOS 8. This launches the Apple Pay.
You will be asked to add a valid credit/debit cardd and also asked for your Apple ID password.

However, the method for adding a card to Apple pay through your Watch is different from that on the iPhone.
So, when you pick up your phone, open the Apple Watch app, scroll down to Wallet and Apply Pay, now tap "Add" where it displays the card.

Making Payments in-Store using Apple Pay

To do this especially at a point of sale, once you reach the where the merchant presents you with total amount due, Now  enter your Finger on Touch ID, then Hold your iPhone close to the terminal. The terminal may ask you to choose Credit or Debit card. To make it faster and easier, you can simply choose a card to use as default for all your transactions in case you added more than One card in your Apple Pay.

Making Payments with your Apple Watch

Open your Apple Pay in the  watch, unlock it with your passcode, then double-tap the bottom, this will bring up list of cards/ Now place your Apple Watch close to the terminal as you'd do with the iPhone. The Watch should vibrate once payment is completed.

Finally, Google's Visible PageRanks Totally Gets Eliminated

Around the first day in month of May 2016, Google decided to do a final termination of PageRanks, one of its most used tool used to determine the strength of websites across its Search Engine, and since then, all toolbars that display ranks have been showing a PageRank of Zero for all websites.

Going down memory lane, we know how important this tool had been but it never got anymore update since December 2013, then in November 2014, it was confirmed that there will be no more PageRank update for the Google Toolbar, meaning no externally visible update.


What does this Mean For Website Administrators and SEOs?

From what we've known so far, Pageranks were rarely updated and had not been updated over the past 3 years, Google no longer finds it relevant, hence this action was simply to correct and avoid confusion about the meaning of this key figure for the very complex evaluation of a website. Pageranks are not the only metrics you can use to measure how valuable or good a website is.

And as a follow up from experiments and observation after termination of ranks back to Zero, the ranks of websites were not totally eliminated, at least, NOT INTERNALLY, only the visible page ranks or numbers are now gone hence most sites seem to maintain their value and position on the Search Engine after the page rank termination was carried out.
