MapQuest Now Works With Android Auto – Here’s How To Use It

MapQuest has retained the name of Lake Ontario, leading to a rise in its popularity and a top position in the App Store charts.

Users can connect their devices via USB or wirelessly, provided their vehicle supports it. Once connected, MapQuest offers turn-by-turn navigation and real-time traffic updates.

Hate Deleted Messages? This Hidden Android Setting Lets You Read Them First

Notification History on Android allows users to revisit alerts from the past 24 hours and manage notifications effectively. To enable it on Google Pixel and Motorola devices, users should go to Settings > Notifications > Manage > Notification history and toggle on Use notification history. For Samsung devices, the steps are Settings > Notifications > Advanced settings > Notification history, then toggle the switch. Other Android brands may have the option in the Notifications section or can be found using the settings search bar. Notification History retains alerts for only 24 hours, automatically clearing older notifications, and does not log muted chat messages. Lengthy messages may not display in full.

The hidden Windows feature quietly filling up your SSD—and how to rein it in

Microsoft introduced a feature called point-in-time restore in Windows 11, which creates snapshots of the system every 24 hours to enhance recovery options. This feature began rolling out in late June 2026 and is typically enabled by default for boot drives of 200GB or larger. It uses the Volume Shadow Copy Service to generate restore points that are available for 72 hours before being purged. The feature can consume significant storage space, initially occupying 3.9GB and potentially increasing to over 18GB within two months, reaching a maximum of 2% of the total disk space. Users can adjust the storage usage settings or disable the feature entirely to reclaim space. The default maximum usage can be modified to as low as 0.2%. There are concerns that this feature should have been opt-in rather than opt-out due to its storage implications.

Rotate and flip - bulk rotation and flipping of images. 3. Image clipper - extracts subjects from images. 4. Add watermark - adds customizable watermarks to images. 5. Compare images - side-by-side comparison of similar images. 6. Save as PDF - converts images into PDFs with customizable options. 7. Print - simultaneous printing of multiple images. Gallery Assistant integrates with Enhance-X for improved image and video quality. Users can access it through the Good Lock app, and it allows rearranging tool order for convenience.
