Here's what a VPN can't protect you from (but you need to use it)

The abbreviation " VPN " has slowly become established among average Internet users, which is certainly good, but the problem is that people have started to see VPN as the ultimate solution to all problems.

Save internet in the Facebook app

Save internet in the Facebook app

The Facebook app uses a lot of internet traffic and you are probably wondering if there is a way to save. There is, and that option was integrated by Facebook itself into its smartphone app.

There are applications to save internet traffic, such as Onavo Extend and Opera Max, but they work on the principle of compressing content through their VPN. The problem is that they can't compress the traffic that takes place in the Facebook application, so Facebook has introduced this option.

How to enable internet flow savings for Facebook:

  1. Open the Facebook app on your phone
  2. Open the right menu and go all the way down
    Open the right menu and go all the way down
  3. Tap the "Data Saver" option
  4. Enable it
    Enable it

Below you also have the option to disable internet traffic saving automatically when using WiFi, so you can enable that as well, which you can't.

Now go back to the home page and you will see an orange color at the top and text informing you whether savings are enabled or not (depending on whether you are on a mobile or WiFi network). You have the "Settings" option right next to it, so you can disable saving right from the home screen.

SIM card sizes (Mini, Micro, Nano) - explanation

Many users still complain about the size of SIM (subscriber identification module) cards. Which one goes on the phone? Can it be shortened? Can a smaller one into a larger slot? Although we are slowly switching to eSIM (more on this in this article ), we still use classic SIM cards. Newer phones usually require a Nano sizes, but operators issue SIM cards in all sizes. More precisely, now SIM cards are made so that the user can choose the size immediately, and later change it if necessary. More on that at the end of the article.

If you buy a used phone from an unknown person, or even from a known person, you must always check the phone for any damage - visible or hidden. But what all needs to be checked? How? That is exactly what I am writing in this article!
