In this post, I am going to show you how you can download high-quality photos from Instagram.
There can be various reasons where you want to download the photos from Instagram, like for one of your projects, for a blog post if you are a blogger or maybe you just want to use it as a wallpaper.
Now if you are on on mobile, there isn’t really a straightforward way to download the Instagram photos to your phone.
Some of you might already be doing this, taking a screenshot of the photo and then cropping just the area of the photo. While it is good for a quick reference, it’s not the highest quality of photo if you are planning to use it as a wallpaper or something.
So what you can do is, install an app for that, there are various apps for this purpose, like Fast Save, QuickSave or Easy Downloader. And your job will be done.
Now if you are on Desktop, you might have seen there is no direct way to save the photos in the desktop mode as well.
While you can get the direct link to the picture from the inspect elements by right-clicking on the mouse, it’s little too confusing for a lot of people.
So a quick way is to use a website like dInsta, where you can paste the Instagram post link and get the download button. It’s by far the easiest way to download a single photo from Instagram,
However, if you want to download a bunch of them, and you do this quite often, then you might install a Chrome Extension called Downloader for Instagram.
It will let you download Instagram photos directly from the Instagram website with just a click. The extension sits on the top right of your browser where it can be used easily.

Making videos has never been easier thanks to the available tools for everyone. However, with the increased accessibility, the competition has also risen.
How can you stand out on YouTube in 2023?
By enhancing the visuals in your videos. While the information you provide may be similar to others, focusing on visual appeal can make a difference.
One way to elevate your videos is by creating multi-cam content. You might have seen many YouTube videos using multiple cameras, and editing such content used to be more challenging in the past.
However, with the new updates in Final Cut Pro, it has become easier. In this video, I’ll show you how I create multi-cam videos for my channel.
My videos are typically five to six minutes long, but the actual recording takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Editing these multi-cam videos usually takes me around 45 minutes to an hour. So, it doesn’t require a lot of time.
Here’s the Video Tutorial
How to Record Multi-Cam Videos?
Multi-cam videos involve using multiple camera angles.
For simplicity, I’ll be using only two angles in this tutorial: a screencast of my computer and a talking head angle. Before recording, make sure to start all the cameras or recordings at the same time.
Also, try recording audio on all camera sources. This will make it easier to sync the videos within Final Cut Pro. You can even do a clap once all the cameras are turned on to have an audio waveform for matching purposes.
How to Edit Multi-Cam Videos in Final Cut Pro
To demonstrate, I have a pre-recorded screencast and a talking head video. I imported both into Final Cut Pro and organized my files within the Library.
In this case, I’ll create a compound clip that combines both clips, with my talking head appearing on the right side of the screen while the screencast plays. I’ll drag the screencast video to the timeline and place the talking head video on top of it. Then, I’ll sync the two videos by aligning the audio waveforms.
With the videos synced, I can add a picture-in-picture effect. By adjusting the size, position, and colors, I can create a visually appealing layout. Additionally, I can enhance the background by applying effects, such as a gradient, to replace the black background.
Once everything looks good, I’ll select all the layers and create a compound clip. This simplifies the timeline and keeps things organized. Now, I have a compound clip that represents the screencast portion.
Next, I’ll select both the talking head clip and the compound clip, right-click, and choose “New Multi-cam Clip.” This creates a multi-cam clip that combines both angles.
In the “Angles” view, I can see both angles appearing. If there were more angles, they would be visible here as well.
I’ll select the audio source from the camera where I used a professional microphone for better sound quality. I’ll also apply color corrections if needed, using preset effects to enhance the audio and color grading.
At this point, I can easily switch between camera angles by manually clicking on the desired angle or using the number keys on the keyboard.
To add more information to the video, I can include text, create chapters, or incorporate graphics. I can either create graphics within Final Cut Pro or use tools like Canva, which offers animated graphics. After downloading the graphics, I can import them into Final Cut Pro and place them where needed.
Once I’m satisfied with the editing, I can export the video and upload it to my channel. While this process may seem more involved than creating single-camera angle videos, with practice, it becomes easier and more efficient.
I hope you found this tutorial useful. For more details and additional resources, check the video description.

If you are looking to grow your YouTube channel, one of the most crucial things you can do is improve your thumbnail.
The thumbnail serves as the window to your video, especially when a user is on the YouTube homepage and being presented with numerous videos. The thumbnail, along with the title, is the primary factor that influences a user’s decision to click on a video.
Even on the watch page, where someone is already watching a video, the section where related videos appear relies on YouTube thumbnails to capture viewers’ attention.
You can gauge the impact of thumbnails on your channel’s performance by looking at the click-through rate (CTR) in the YouTube analytics. CTR represents the number of times a video is clicked relative to the number of times it was shown. For instance, if your CTR is 1%, it indicates that only 1 to 5 people out of 100 have actually clicked on your video.
To improve your YouTube thumbnail and increase CTR, here are some tips:
Get Inspiration from your competition
Begin by searching for videos on YouTube related to the topic of your video and observe the thumbnails your competitors are using.

I am writing this WhatsApp Tips & Tricks guide with the intention that it will be the last guide you will ever need. Make sure you bookmark it since it will be updated whenever we find a new trick worth sharing. For other WhatsApp related articles check out the WhatsApp tag.
Whatsapp is probably one of the very few apps that have got such a massive userbase. So big that every one person on this planet uses it.
WhatsApp is a revolutionary app that has made communication so affordable and fast. We send hundreds of texts to our friends and family every day. Not just text messages, but images, videos, voice notes, express ourselves using emojis, share our day with Status Stories (many people hated this initially).
WhatsApp can easily be considered SMS 2.0, and it’s everything SMS couldn’t be. Now enough with the hype. Let’s get straight to the list.
1. Control Privacy: Hide, Profile Picture, Status, Read Receipts (Double Blue Ticks) etc
WhatsApp gives you complete control over what things you want to show others and what items you want to hide.
This can be done from the Settings-Account-Privacy
2. Manage WhatsApp Media Files Clutter on Your Android Smartphone
If you use WhatsApp a lot or have joined a lot of active groups, you might be aware of the number of photos your phone is storing.
Though the photo files won’t take a lot of space on your phone, it can add up to be a lot in a few weeks.
Stop WhatsApp from downloading the files automatically, and you can turn it off from Settings -Data usage. Turn off media auto-download by unchecking all the options.
Also, most smartphones don’t show images from different folders in the Gallery App, but if your phone doesn’t do that itself, you can do it manually. The ‘.nomedia’ trick still works well.
To do that, go to the WhatsApp Media Folder then the Image Folder on your phone (you can use ES Explorer) and create a new file with the name .nomedia. This will hide the images from that folder in the Gallery App.
3. Read Messages without Notifying Others (without Turning Off read Receipts)
Read receipts are helpful to know when a person has seen your message. So I keep it turned on.
But there are times when you want to cheat and see the messages without notifying the sender. Here is a neat trick for that.
Suppose the message appears in the Notification Bar. Swipe using two fingers, and it will reveal the last message.
If you want to read more messages,
Turn off mobile data, put your phone in Airplane mode, open WhatsApp, read the messages, turn on the mobile data again, or disable Airplane mode. Neat, isn’t it.
4. Create a WhatsApp account without your phone number
If you are an Admin of a WhatsApp group and looking to expand it by asking random people to join it, you may not want to share your number with them.
Or if you want to share your WhatsApp online
It could be any reason for not sharing your phone number. You can get an online phone number using apps like 2ndLine (Android app) – You need it to verify the WhatsApp.
Note: Online phone numbers can be assigned to others if you delete your account on their service, 2ndLine, in this case, so make sure you do not delete your account as long as you want to use the WhatsApp.
5. Send Any File Format to WhatsApp Contacts (Dropbox)
WhatsApp has expanded its file support in the last few years. Users can now share Images, Videos, Audio Files, PDFs, etc. But you can share any file format you want with this cool trick.
You can even share large files, as big as a movie. It would help if you had Dropbox for that.
The Free account of Dropbox offers 2GB of space (enough for two HD movies. What you need to do is, upload the file to Dropbox, create a link by tapping on the ‘Share’ option, copy and paste the link into your WhatsApp Contact.
6. Pin Frequently Use Contacts on top to message them quickly
Small features like these can make life easy, such a the ability to Pin Chats. If you are a frequent WhatsApp user, mixing up the chats will sound familiar to you.
A new update allows you to pin the chats are that is important. Long press on the conversation, and a Pin icon appears on the tip, tap the Pin icon, and the Chat is pinned at the top.
No more searching through all the frequent chats to find important ones.
7. Use WhatsApp as a Personal Space for Saving Important Notes, File etc and Access it from Mobile and PC
Now that you know you share any file on WhatsApp, you can use WhatsApp as your personal space, a personal diary, a note-taking app, or a place to dump ideas.
I have been using it lately to check a website link later or watch a video or a document. The best part is the ability to access them from PC using WhatsApp Web.
Use this tip #6 to Pin your Personal Notes Group to the top so that it comes in handy.
8. Create GIFs from Videos Captured via your Smartphone
WhatsApp enabled GIF support a few months ago, and According to me, they are better than small videos because they don’t open in full screen and can be viewed as an image.
WhatsApp also allows you to turn 6 seconds of your videos into GIFs.
Capture a video, select the start and endpoint (it has to be 6 second or lesser part), you will notice the ‘GIF’ option appear on the top, which turns the video into a GIF.
9. Quickly know who all are in a WhatsApp Group
This one is simple, You might know this already, but I use it for finding who is there in the group. Type @ lets you tag a Member in a WhatsApp group (and notify them even if they’ve muted the group).
But if you only type ‘@’ it gives you a list of all the members, which comes in quite handy sometimes to see who all are there in the group or how many members are they outside of your contacts (only their phone number will display)
10. Find who all are inactive in a WhatsApp Group
Talking about groups, they are quite popular and are used by Families and Friends to keep in touch all the time. There are also Business groups, Office Colleagues Groups, Students groups. You name it.
Most of us are so many groups that we tend to keep them muted and next get to check what’s happening. If you are on the opposite side of this situation, you want to know who is inactive in the group.
You can do so by going back to the previous chats (your 7-day old message in the group), long tap on it, and tap on info (i) and look at all the members who read, got the message delivered and who didn’t get delivered.
Though the WhatsApp Groups limit has been extended to 250 members, you can remove a few inactive members if you have to make a place for others.
11. Run Two WhatsApp Accounts in a Single Smartphone
Most phones these days are Dual SIM Phones, and if you use two SIMs, for different purposes, like Personal and Official. I won’t be surprised if you want to run two different WhatsApp accounts.
Xiaomi phones have this feature inbuilt into their Custom ROM, where you can run two accounts on the same app.
Okay, so running two WhatsApp account on a single Smartphone can be done using trick #11. How about running the same WhatsApp account on two different phones?
Well, technically, it’s not possible since WhatsApp doesn’t allow that. It only lets you use WhatsApp on your phone and WhatsApp for The Web on PC.
WhatScan is an app that uses the WhatsApp for Web feature and brings it into an App form. It works similarly since it is the WhatsApp Web.
Open and Scan the QR Code using your WhatsApp account, and you are ready to use it.
Note: Since WhatScan is WhatsApp Web, it has its own limitations, like the Calling (Voice/Video) is not supported.
13. Find important Information Messages/Image/Files Easily (Using Starred Messages Feature)
There are times when someone shares an important piece of information via a WhatsApp text (because it’s SMS 2.0) but that text can easily get lost in thousands of messages you type on WhatsApp (because it’s free and fun to use).
The Starred feature comes to the rescue as you can start any message/image/video/voice note etc. so that it will be easy to find them later.
14. Listen to Voice Notes in Privately
Most of us use our earphones to listen to or watch anything on our Smartphones. But we don’t have earphones all the time, and it could be not very pleasant to listen to a voice note sent by a friend all loud in public.
WhatsApp’s cool feature allows you to listen to the voice note via the Earpiece instead of the speakers.
To do that, play the voice note, and then place the smartphone near your ears as if you are taking a call. Your smartphone’s proximity sensor activates, and the voice note plays via the Earpiece. Pretty Cool.
15. Set Custom Notification Tones for Individuals and Groups to know who is it without even looking at the phone
I’ve set up a different Notification Tone for Groups and Individual Chats to know whether to pick the phone to read the message right now or do it later. Most of the time, it’s a MEME sent in a group.
To set custom notifications for Contacts and Groups in WhatsApp,
Select a Chat Conversation,
Tap on the Contact/Group Name
Tap on ‘Custom Conversation’, and
Select a different tone for different Contact.
Note: Don’t use too many tones you can’t remember who is who.
16. Send Messages to Someone Without Adding them to Contact List (eg: Courrier Guy)
If you often find yourself in a situation where you have to send a message to someone who is not in your contact list, and since WhatsApp doesn’t allow anyone to send a message outside of your contact list, you end up adding the contact number then message.
This app can help you by sending messages to the numbers that are not saved. For example, if you have to share your location with a Courrier Guy and that Pizza Delivery Guy, this will come in handy.
Update: now it is even easier. Simply write the number in an existing chat box inside Whatsapp (I use my private empty group), if the number is registered on Whatsapp, it will be Tap-able and will give the option to start chat or make her call. When you type on start a chat new chat window will open with that contact.
18. Hide a Chat from the list without Deleting it (aka Archive Chat)
One cool feature of Android is rare to use. The Archive feature. By long-pressing a Chat, you can archive it, and it will not show up in the list.
You don’t always want to delete a conversation and stop appearing on the list for a while. By long-pressing a Chat, you can archive it, and it will not show up in the list.
By long-pressing a Chat, you can archive it, and it will not show up in the list. You can unArchive it anytime.
19. Write WhatsApp Messages in Different Fonts Styles
This has been making rounds in mostly all the posts talking about WhatsApp tips and tricks.
Different formats help you present your message differently. With the combination of Bold and Italic styles, you can emphasize particular words in your message.
To write in Bold add an asterisk (*) before and after the text. (eg: *Hello*)
To write in Italics add an Underscore (_) before and after the text (eg: _Hello_)
To write in strikethrough add a tilde (~) before and after the text (eg: ~Hello~)
To type in a different font style add apostrophe (”’) three times before and after the text (eg: ”’Hello”’)
20. Draw Over Photos/Videos taken by WhatsApp Camera to Highlight Something in the Photo/ Video
Another update for WhatsApp has brought the feature of drawing over the photos taken from the WhatsApp Camera ( i/e Camera option in WhatsApp).
So instead of editing a photo for pointing something out, please take a photo directly from the WhatsApp camera and then draw/write over it. It saves a lot of time.
21. Post longer Videos as Status Updates
WhatsApp lets you post videos that are 30 seconds long. Even if you try to post longer, it will chop it down for 30 seconds. Fortunately, it lets you select which 30 seconds part of the video you want to post.
A new update came in may 2023 that now let’s you and it messages on WhatsApp. However there is a time limit, you will only get the option to edit the message with in 15 minutes. But looking at the history of how WhatsApp rules the updates, the limit might be increased in coming months.

How I created this Template
I created a Table database, added of you more columns and renamed the existing one, one column logs the date, the other column that’s he select the quantity. The third column is formula based, it multiplies the rate of the product with quantity to give you the money amount.

Audio quality is essential to any video content, whether for YouTube or Instagram. High-quality Audio enhances the viewer’s experience and makes the content more engaging and professional.
Poor audio quality, on the other hand, can be distracting and cause the viewer to lose interest in the Video. This is particularly true for social media platforms, where viewers watch videos on their mobile devices in noisy environments.
Clear and crisp Audio can make a video more understandable and enjoyable, helping the viewer stay engaged and focused on the content.
When you record Videos indoors, you will be able to record good Audio using the inbuilt Camera of your smartphone. But, if you’re outdoors, things can be really tough.
This is why you should get an external microphone for recording your videos.
But if you have AirPods Pro and an iPhone, you can use this combo. AirPods Pro as a Wireless Mic can be good to start with.
Here’s a Sample Audio in the Video
AirPods Pro Lets you record clear Audio. But it’s not the best. It works best if you have an iPhone and Airpods combo; there are many features you can enjoy, which you can check in a separate article. This is a Bonus.
Plus, you can use AdobePodcast to Enhance the Voice even further. Here’s a Sample.
How to use Airpods Pro as Wireless Mic for Videos
Native Camera doesn’t support Airpods Pro as an External Audio source. So you need a Third Party Camera App like ProMovie Recorder. I used MoviePro. It’s not as great as the Native iPhone Camera app, but it works.
How to Enhance The Audio with AI
Once you have your Video recorded. You must split the Audio to enhance it using Adobe Podcast since it only supports Audio formats.
You can split Audio using apps like videoproc or Mac’s Quicktime Player to save Audio from Video and use the Audio file to Enhance it.
Or you can first edit your Video in the Video Editing software of your choice. Then export only Audio (Before adding Music and Sound FX).
Enhance the Exported Audio using Adobe Podcast. Then, import it back into your Video Editor (Add Music and Sound FX if you have to), and Export the project as Video.
If You are Using Android Mobile or Don’t Have AirPods Pro.
Get dedicated Wireless Mics like Rode Wireless Go. It works amazingly with Smartphones as well as DSLRs.
As we rely more and more on our mobile devices for both work and leisure, maintaining a stable and fast internet connection becomes a necessity. Booster apps for Android promise to enhance our mobile data and wireless connectivity experiences by acting as a connection stabilizer, optimizing our internet connections for faster speeds and improved performance.
These apps often come in the form of Wi-Fi boosters, which focus on amplifying the strength and range of wireless networks, or mobile data enhancers, streamlining and prioritizing data usage for smoother browsing and streaming. The real question is whether these booster apps can make a significant difference in our wireless network’s reliability and speed. In some cases, they may be able to optimize certain aspects of connectivity, such as by adjusting settings or detecting sources of interference.
However, it is crucial to approach these apps with a healthy dose of skepticism, as there is no magic solution to improve internet connections automatically. Factors such as hardware limitations, network congestion, and signal interference often play a more significant role in hindering connection quality, and booster apps may not always provide effective solutions for such issues.
Internet is the staple of every home and office. The moment you disconnect yourself, you might look at yourself as a cave dweller. Without a doubt, the internet has played a pivotal role in disrupting different aspects of our lives. Be it entertainment, socializing, gaming, working, or downloading, without high-speed internet, things are not going to work smoothly.
When you are facing slow-speed internet, the first thing you do is reset your modem. In other cases, some internet users might face poor WiFi signals at home. The only thing that could help them boost signals is to buy a WiFi extender.
If you are facing frequent disconnection and speed problems, it is a clear sign to switch your service provider. Enter your Zip Code and find service providers in your area offering reliable internet without disconnecting or throttling speed.
If you are not in the mood of comparing different internet plans and providers, you can simply subscribe to Cox to help you stay connected throughout the day. With affordable plans and serviceability in most parts of the United States, you can expect seamless customer support in both Spanish and English language. If you are of Hispanic origin, try contacting cox servicio al cliente en español to manage your service, bill payment, appointment, or finding support options.
In recent times, internet booster apps have overwhelmed the apps store and people without any research install them to get rid of any problem. However, we are going to take a look into whether internet booster apps really work. Stay tuned and let’s get started.
Do Internet Booster Apps Really Work?
Most internet users frequently ask this question on different forum websites, blogs, and social media networks. The fact is obvious that everyone wants to enjoy high-speed internet on all of their devices connected through WiFi.
Stronger WiFi is needed every now and then, especially when you are streaming on Netflix or playing Call of Duty with your friends. What if you could simply install an application to boost the WiFi signals and do whatever you want to without any problem.
The fact is everybody wishes to have such an app, even if it is for some price. But the problem is that it does not exist. No app has been developed that can amplify WiFi or cellular signals.
If you have still doubts in mind only because you find booster apps in the app store that still does not make any sense. If you install it once on your phone, you will only waste your phone memory and may see a lot of screens without any function or purpose.
The purpose of these signal boosters is to improve the performance of the device rather than signals. For instance, performance booster apps will allow you to delete caches on your smartphone and other apps, which helps in freeing some storage space and RAM.
While others might help in managing background processes and apps. This helps in boosting your device speed instead of boosting WiFi or cellular signals.
Signal monitor apps are another category that you will find on app stores. The purpose of these apps is to monitor WiFi and cellular signals, while also updating you on signal strength, and location of origin. Some apps available on Apple and Google Play Store might help you in finding an ideal position for your router.
Some of the apps even mention in the app’s description that the application cannot boost cellular or WiFi signals.
Reasons these Apps Can’t Boost Signals
The reason these apps can’t boost signals is that they have nothing to do with the signals themselves. Signal strength is dependent on various factors such as distance from the cell tower, physical obstructions, and interference from other devices. Moreover, apps have limitations since they merely run on your smartphone, and do not have direct control over the hardware components responsible for signal reception, such as the antenna or radio transmitter.
These so-called “signal booster” apps usually just provide information on the signal strength, sometimes displaying it in a more detailed manner or suggesting ways to improve the network connection. For example, they may suggest moving to an area with better coverage or switching to a different mobile network provider with stronger signals in your location. While these apps can help you understand and possibly optimize your connection, they are not able to directly boost or enhance the signal levels. Any claimed improvements from using these apps could merely be a placebo effect.
To truly boost signal strength, one might need to invest in technologies like signal repeaters, or simply find a location with better coverage by moving closer to a cell tower or away from obstructions. . Your signal depends on your service provider’s towers and the technology used to deploy signals all over the area.
Moreover, the WiFi signal depends on the nearby access point. The signals are dependent on your smartphone. No matter, how many applications you install on your tablet or smartphone, they are of no use. Instead, they will eat up your phone’s storage and somehow benefit the owner of the application to earn some money through ads.
What Can You Do to Boost Signals?
Most people might have a question as to what to do when you are not getting enough signals. The simple answer is if you are using WiFi to connect devices, make sure that you are getting strong signals in all rooms. If your home is big and WiFi signals cannot reach the entire space, you can simply buy a WiFi Extender. The extender will boost the signals and make sure to cover a greater area than before.
If your cellular signals are dead or not optimal, you might need to change your provider. The reason is that some providers may not have installed a signal booster tower in all the areas. Or in some cases, the service provider is new and ae working on their current technology or infrastructure. Try to avoid the new entrants and rely only on trusted ones.

Mobile Photography has come a long way
We have smartphones with excellent cameras and social media apps offering filters to TV cover photos so that they can look good; suitable, you can take an extra step by using a photo editing app on your mobile phone to give that extra wow factor to your photos.
While it’s true that the quality of smartphone photos has significantly improved over the years, there are still noticeable differences compared to DSLR photos, especially when it comes to technical aspects such as image quality, depth of field, and low-light performance. DSLR cameras offer larger sensors, interchangeable lenses, and more manual controls, which allows for better image quality and greater creative flexibility.
For casual photographers, smartphone cameras might indeed be sufficient, and the convenience of having a lightweight device that can also edit photos instantly adds to their appeal. However, for professional photographers and photography enthusiasts, DSLRs and other high-quality cameras still offer a level of performance and control that smartphones cannot match. In conclusion, while smartphone photos can be of excellent quality and sufficient for most casual purposes, DSLR cameras still provide noticeable advantages for those who want to capture the best quality images and have full control over their photography.

Still, these are the ones that I have on my phone after testing a bunch of them, which was pretty time consuming since I had to use them for a significant amount of time so that you do not have to.
Looking to find the Apple Magic Keyboard Alternative? I’ve been using one from quite sometime. Let me tell you more about it.
I have been a Mac user for almost a decade. The macOS is an incredible platform for creators who want to deal with their creative block and not the technical aspects.
And the fact that they create their laptops and computers, their Software and Hardware integration is near perfect. That’s why it is harder to get out of the Apple ecosystem and buy another Apple product required in your workflow.
The Best Apple Magic Keyboard Alternatives in 2023
The Apple Magic Keyboard is widely regarded as an excellent keyboard because of its compact design, excellent build quality, and comfortable typing experience.
The keyboard has low profile keys with a scissor mechanism that provides excellent tactile feedback and precise typing. The Magic Keyboard also features a rechargeable battery that lasts for up to a month on a single charge and can be easily charged using a Lightning cable.
Logitech K380 Video Review
I learned this the hard way when I tried using my Macbook Pro in closed-display mode to use my 4K TV as a UHD Monitor for more screen real estate.
Just any keyboard and mouse won’t give you the right feel of working on a machine you know inside out.
But finally, I have found a perfect Apple Keyboard alternative that goes well with my current setup.
Logitech K380 Keyboard As Magic Keyboard Alternative
Though I still had to buy the Apple Magic Trackpad because the gestures on my Macbook Pro make me do things faster, I don’t miss the Apple keyboard, thanks to the Logitech K380.
Although it is an alternative to the Apple keyboard, it can also be an Apple keyboard alternative for Windows PC as well.
The Built Quality of Logitech K380
Apple products are the quality of the material they use and how nice it feels when you touch or hold it.
The Logitech K380 belongs in the same room as the Apple products, maybe not in the first row, but definitely in the second row.
This is still great, considering it is 1/3rd the price of what you’ll pay for the Apple Magic Keyboard.
The Features Logitech K380
The reason for buying the Logitech k380 is not because it is the best alternative to Apple keyboard, but its key features.
The Logitech k380 is a Bluetooth based Keyboard that supports connecting up to 3 devices, and you can switch between 3 devices using the dedicated buttons.
This means you have to pair your laptop with your tablet and your smartphone at once, and the next time you want to use it with your particular device, you have to press one of the three buttons assigned to that device.
Apple might have put the Magic in naming their keyboard, but the Logitech K380 has the real Magic.
We all have multiple devices I have, an iPad and a Chromebook, along with my MacBook. So I have all three devices connected and can use the same keyboard with all the devices.
Although my Lenovo Chromebook Duet Plus already has a keyboard, since it is too small for long typing sessions, I end up using the Logitech K380 keyboard.
And not just that, you can connect it with up to 4 devices. How? How well is the?
The keyboard is Bluetooth-based and has a dongle, which has a secure place inside the mouse. When you take off the top cover, it lets you access the batteries, as well as the dongle. The dongle enables you to connect to a fourth device via the 2.4Ghz wireless technology.
So, sometimes, I also use it with my Windows 10 Desktop.
Logitech K380 Is Also a Great iPad Keyboard
Since I also have got an iPad Air, i also use the Logitech K380 as an iPad Keyboard. I personally like using this combo because It cab be carried whenever I need to write long documents on my iPad without having to struggle with smaller keyboards that fit as an iPad case. And it also doesn’t add extra weight when I won’t have to use my iPad as a writing device.
Its muti-device support comes in really handy to connect with my iPad in just one press of a button. Overall it’s a must buy if you have an iPad and a Mac.
The Experience Logitech K380
I have been using the Logitech K380 keyboard since the starting of 2021, and I have loved it since day 1.
I can type as fast as I type on the keyboard of my MacBook Pro. If you look at the keys of the Logitech k380 keyboard, the ki shapes are rounded.
It was the only thing I was sceptical about this keyboard because I was not sure how these rounded keys would feel, but this has become the biggest blessing of this keyboard because, for some reason, it makes typing more accurate.
It has two AAA alkaline batteries in this keyboard, and I haven’t changed them since I started using them at the beginning of 2021.
Should you buy Logitech K380
If you are looking for an Apple keyboard alternative, there could be two reasons, the pricing or the colour scheme. Apple has got keyboards in black and white colour, but they are full-size keyboards. The minimal and compact Apple Keyboard only comes in white colour.
So if you are looking to use your space grey MacBook Pro or MacBook Air enclosed display mode and still want a compact keyboard, the Logitech K380 matches your colour scheme for just one-third of the price of the Apple Magic keyboard.
The Logitech K380 is one of the best Apple Magic Keyboard alternatives available for Mac devices. With its compact and lightweight design, the K380 is easily portable and connects effortlessly to multiple devices, including iPads, iPhones, and Macs. Its long-lasting battery life of up to two years means that users won’t have to worry about constantly recharging it.
Additionally, the K380 has a comfortable and responsive typing experience, with quiet keys that won’t disturb those around you. It also features easy-to-use shortcut keys and the ability to switch between devices with just one touch. Overall, for those looking for a high-quality keyboard that’s compatible with their Mac devices, the Logitech K380 is definitely worth considering as a great alternative to the Apple Magic Keyboard.

Google has a huge library of songs that can be streamed through the YouTube music app. Good thing about it is that you can also so listen to the the covers by independent artists put up on their YouTube channels.

4. Gaana
Gaana is probably the first music streaming service made available in India. It was Live, even before smartphones became too common. I remember listening to the song from Gaana.com on my laptop while working.
It was an awesome feeling not to waste time finding my favorite song to download from the internet and organizing it on the computer. A simple search inside Gaana gave me whatever I wanted to listen to.
It is now available on multiple platforms so that you can enjoy the same music streaming experience on any device.

The music service is available on all the major platforms.
If you are an Amazon Prime member, you don’t have to pay anything extra for Amazon Prime music Since it comes bundled with Amazon Prime membership which costs INR 999 per year.
The music service gives access to regional and international songs and some general-based radio stations.
So these were some of the best online music streaming services available in India. The list is random and is in no particular order to pick the one you like.
The Most Popular Music Streaming App from this list?
I came across this weekend poll conducted by Android Police asking readers which music streaming services they use. The poll options include Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora, Tidal, Deezer, and “Other.”
According to the results, the majority of respondents use Spotify, with Apple Music and YouTube Music following closely behind. Amazon Music and Pandora received fewer votes, while Tidal and Deezer were the least used options. Overall, the poll suggests that Spotify is the most popular music streaming service among Android Police readers.
My Personal favourite is YouTube Music as YouTube Music offers many other benefits such as YouTube Premium. A separate music streaming app is available as well as you can listen to the music on YouTube as well. That too, with your mobile phone screen turned off.
You also get Ad-free experience on the entire library of YouTube videos. which is pretty cool to have under one subscription.

It is not too heavy and can be put inside the laptop bag to carry around, the coffee tables in cafes are not of a sufficient height, and this foldable laptop stand can be helpful.
The build quality of this particular foldable is not that great, but since you are not making a lot of money, we shouldn’t complain about not getting a premium product. It’s not too bad either because it can handle the laptop properly.
I was even able to use it with my tablet PC. It also makes a good accessory if you want to use your tablet as a computer by connecting it with a Bluetooth-based keyboard and using this foldable stand for having the tablet PC tilted like a laptop screen.
