Backup! Backup some more! And some more! 

 

We're talking backup today. 

 

When was the last time you backed up, saved, and protected? We all know how important it is to back up our work computer but do we do the same for our mobile devices? 

 

Have you saved those all important holiday photos? Your phone address book? The documents from emails you deleted months ago? The passwords for accounts you forgot how to access? All your favourite tunes? 

Here's how to make the most of it. 

 

Upon updating your iPhone's operating system to the all-new iOS 11.1, you may have noticed a few subtle changes here and there, but not much more than that. Although the overall appearance of your phone and apps may not appear to be too different, there are loads of little changes that are now on your handset to make things faster and easier - and to make sure you don't miss out on them, we've put together a quick break-down of what's what! You can thank us later. 

Upgraded your smartphone and not sure what to do with your old handset? Don't worry. I spy with my little eye a great way to make use of your old phone and improve the levels of security on your business premises at the same time. 

 

So long as your old mobile is still in decent condition, works well enough AND the rear camera is still working, you can turn your old phone into a security camera. Yep. Truly. It's dead easy to set up and can even be free to do. 

When is your mobile phone as annoying as a summertime wasp? 

 

Answer: when a nuisance call breaks your peace! 

 

Nuisance calls claiming to be able to sort your PPI or offering insurance for 'that injury you had' are a frustrating side-effect of being so contactable these days. 

The Trump presidential campaign rolls relentlessly onwards, and many don't know whether to laugh or cry. 

 

Let's not forget, the key to the White House could soon be in the hands of the guy who tweeted to the world to "boycott all Apple products" from his iPhone handset! 

As many of us head off on holiday, the last thing we want to think about is ending up in some form of emergency while we're away from home.  

 

Recent tragic events upon the beaches of Tunisia are far from the norm, but it is worthwhile taking every possible precaution to ensure that loved ones can be contacted easily and quickly, should you need someone to call them on your behalf. 

While we're all busily spring-cleaning our homes and offices, it's vitally worthwhile that we take a moment to spring clean our phones too. 

 

You might initially feel put-off about the idea, worrying that it might be a little too complicated.
