Whether you’re migrating from a work email address to a personal one or simply don’t like the username you chose out of the blocks and want to switch to one that sounds more professional, you are not alone in looking for a way to move all of your Gmail data from one place to another.

Everywhere you turn, someone is handing out advice about account security and privacy. And while it never hurts to be reminded about all the ways you can protect your critical data, have you stopped to wonder whether any of the various security measures you’re taking are actually effective?

Emojis add a little personality to your messages and social media posts, and there are so many of them to pick from that they’re practically their own language at this point. Even then, sometimes you’ll find that there isn’t one that quite fits what you’re trying to say.

There's a high chance you've used Google in the last hour or so but many have probably never given much thought to another button that sits alongside that much-used search button. It says "I'm Feeling Lucky". Here's what it actually does

When Google Chrome starts blocking your downloads in a few months, know that it’s nothing personal; the browser is just doing its best to keep you safe. You should also know that Chrome isn’t flawless, and you should still be running regular antivirus and antimalware scans—and avoiding shitty websites and their malware.

Our smartphones can display tons of information and provide helpful shortcuts even when they’re locked, and Google Assistant’s Ambient Mode is worth trying out. It allows you to use several of your phone’s best features without having to unlock it, saving you precious time and the annoyance of fumbling around with your finger to authenticate into your device.

Internet ads are so invasive that we can’t blame you for thinking that Facebook is listening to you talk. It’s probably not, but it is helping ad networks track you across the internet and across your apps. In 2018, tech public policy expert Chris Yiu tweeted 14 different ways that ads follow you around the internet, even when you’re logged out, in incognito, using a different browser, or on a new device.

While the latest Android malware you should look out for hasn’t been as popular as the scammy apps that recently drove 382+ million downloads, it’s plenty serious.

Every day, millions of smartphones run out of space, leaving users to make the difficult decision on what photos, apps, music or videos to delete. What will you say goodbye to this time, pictures of your furry friend or videos from your last holiday?

There are many ways to update an Android phone. Most people probably wait for the latest patches to arrive and let their phones run the update automatically. This is the most convenient option, but it’s also the slowest, since it depends on your carrier to roll the update out to you. There are ways to get updates faster—like sideloading new updates yourself—but these can be intimidating and confusing for people who don’t want to mess around with extra software or system-level operations.

Apple’s has redesigned the mobile version of iCloud, and if you live in a divided house—Android and iOS/iPadOS devices living in perfect harmony—you should check out the new website, especially if you’re on an Android smartphone or tablet.

Chrome 80 dropped yesterday, and the usual advice applies. If your desktop browser hasn’t already updated itself, or you aren’t sure, go visit its “About Google Chrome” page either by clicking on the triple-dot icon in the upper-right corner of your Windows browser or the “Chrome” menu of your Mac browser.

Berlin artist Simon Weckert recently “hacked” Google Maps by filling a red wagon with 99 iPhone running Google Maps and dragging around the city to fool the service into thinking there was a traffic jam when there wasn’t one.

As an iPhone user with a Gmail address, I’m envious of all the Android owners who get to use dark mode in their Gmail apps. While Google claims such magic is available on iOS, I’ve never seen the option—and I’m not alone. So I’m enjoying a little schadenfreude at recent reports that dark mode has up and disappeared in some instances of the Gmail app on Android.

Google’s newest service, Tangi, is a short-form video platform that can help you learn and share new creative skills. It’s currently available as a website and an iOS app—no, it’s not ready for Android yet, which is strange given that it’s Google’s service, but there you go.
