How To Temporarily Restore Messages In Facebook For iOS
The Facebook messenger app was deemed as the most hated app in the App store this week. This is because instead of allowing its users to converse within the official Facebook app, the company is now forcing users to further install its separate messaging app for users in order to be able to converse with their friends. It is due to this step that Facebook Inc. is receiving widespread criticisms and negativities. About 92 percent of more than 64,000 active Facebook users have awarded the Messenger app with a puny one-star rating on App Annie over the past months.
But iOS users are in luck as they can use the messages tab in the official Facebook app once again with a simple workout and avoid the need to download the standalone Facebook messenger app.
But the only drawback to this seems to be fact that it does not appear to be a permanent fix to the problem. A user reported that after using the messaging feature of the Facebook app for 24 hours with this fix, it reverted back and prompted “install messenger” once again. But one can simply apply the workout to remove the prompt again easily.
Simply follow the below mentioned steps to perform the desired workout:
Here are a few reasons why I users are so setup against the Facebook Messenger app:

Simply follow the below mentioned steps to perform the desired workout:
- Go to the Messages tab in the official Facebook app. When you do so a new page will prompt you to install the messenger app.
- Simply tap on the install button when it does. The messenger page will be launched in the App store, where one can begin the download. Here’s the trick now, as soon as the app begins to download simply delete it. Yes don’t let it download fully. Also don’t let app to be installed.
- Now go back to the official Facebook app and tap onto the messages tab, and find it to be working smoothly again. If you are really set against being forced to use a standalone Messenger app by the company, this is a good option to ignore it despite it to be sounding like too much of work.
- It is a sub-par app with not much good reviews about it and no substantial added features to drive one into downloading and installing another app.
- Most users already have too many other apps installed in their devices and do not have the storage space to spare for an app whose functionality is nothing more than the previous messaging feature of the official Facebook app.
- Another reason for the widespread hatred is due to the fact that Facebook Inc. did not think about asking the user’s opinion or permission before adding this unnecessary feature to their system. Being one of the most extensively used social networking app Facebook has the highest number of active users in the recent times. So asking the users’ opinion before adding this important change into the system is only a fair demand on the users’ part.
- Another drawback is the fact that iPhone cannot run these 2 different apps in a single screen which makes it more complicated and annoying to use.
- Some people are also complaining about missing the Facebook chatheads from the Facebook home, which was quite fun and very user friendly in the first place. Why would the company change and get rid of them is causing much negativities among its users.
How to use Siri as your own personal DJ
It often so happens while cooking or doing some other work that we feel the direst urge to listen to some of our favorite music on our iPhones, but can’t get to play them as our hands might be messy or occupied. But now with Siri we can listen to our favorite artist’s and bands or manuscripts whenever and wherever we want to. Yes, you can now use Siri to be your own personal DJ. Whether at the kitchen or in your shower you will never be separated from your favorite music anymore.
The voice assistant feature offered by Apple has many cool skills, one of which is the ability to act as your DJ and manage your music in your phone. One can simply order Siri to play a specific song or album that is stored in their iPhone or Ipad or simply play a random assortment of music from a specific artist. You can also command Siri to play, pause, skip forward, and go backwards or to stop playing and much more.
So here are a list of ways in which you can use Siri to act as your own personal DJ:
- You can play a specific song: simply by saying the title of the song to Siri you can jive to your favorite digs at anytime. For instance here is a demonstration of how you can do so, simply activate the voice assistant Siri and command it to “play ‘Hey Jude’” and it will play the popular tune from the Beatles instantly.
- Playing a specific album: feel like listening to an entire album that is stored in your phone? Siri can also do that for you. Here’s how to: simply activate Siri and order it to “Play’ Abbey Road’” album for you, for example, and viola the entire album will play for you from start to finish. What if the album consists of a really lengthy title? Speaking the entire name can be a bit of a stretch. No problem, you can just say the first few parts of the title instead of saying the entire one. For e.g. instead of having to say “play ‘Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,'" simply ask it to “play ‘Sgt. Pepper’s’”.
- Playing all songs of a specific genre: feel like listening to some jazz for the day? Or may be some rhythm and blues? Leave it to Siri. Simply say “play ‘some jazz music’” or “play ‘some r&b music’” and that’s all to it.
- Play a specific playlist: if you have made a playlist of all your favorite music, Siri can play it for you too. For instance if you have playlist called “60s rock” which contains all your favorite 60s rock tunes, to play it simply ask Siri to “play “60s rock’” and stay tuned.
- Shuffle your tunes: feel like listening a select few list of songs from an album but in no particular order? Easy, just ask Siri to shuffle your albums. For example by saying “play born to run shuffle” you can listened to the shuffled tracks of this classic Bruce Springsteen album.
- To pause and resume playing: in order to prompt Siri to pause or resume playing simply say “pause music” and when wanting to pick it from where you had left it off just say “resume music”.
- Finding out what’s playing: not only your stored music but you can also find out which song is currently topping the charts without knowing the exact name of the song or the artist. Simply tell Siri to find out “what’s playing” and just sit back and relax to latest tunes.
5 ways to save battery in iOS 8
It is well known that surrendering yourself leaves you vulnerable to
battery deficit problems that are long-term. I believed I'd take you
through some top tips to save battery, although this may enhance and
will be a nonissue when iOS 8 is released to the general public in
September. But do not turn away in the event you're not running the
Beta, because of better optimization in public launches, the may truly
reap greater benefits, and as these tricks can be applied to any
variation of iOS! Check the out below! Most of them are suggestions that
are common sense, however you will find a few you may not have
considered.
Reduce Motion
Sure, the Parallax effect
certainly seems cool when your iPhone tip, but does it seem as trendy as
the white ring of departure as your iPhone powers down out of the blue?
Head into Settings > Availability > Reduce Movement to turn of
the Parallax effect. You will also find compared for their standard
cartoon, which really makes opening programs faster that programs now
disappear into view.
Brightness
Apple's Retina display
certainly seems amazing at full brightness, but this can be among the
simplest methods to reach them in case you would like to have more hours
of use. Moreover, this selection does not need to destroy your viewing
experience. Lowering the brightness of your display to 50% does not have
enormous influence on the display, although it'll conserve battery. You
have likely discovered that most of the brightness drop off comes when
you lower the brightness therefore the halfway mark makes to get an
adequate compromise.
Background App Refresh
This
characteristic was a great add-on for many is an essential attribute, as
well as to iOS 7. However, default applies to all of your programs
Background refreshing. Odds are, you will not want the attribute serving
all the programs it presently does. Head to Settings > General >
Background Program Refresh and contemplate some programs that you can
actually afford to switch off.
Push Email/Tellings
Push
Email is not nasty, but I reckon some folks may be able to live without
it! Head in the Settings Program to Email, and set your e-mail to test
for new mail every 15 minutes, 30, minutes as well as one hour. Remember
a 15 minute period could possibly cause your telephone to test for
email more frequently than it could have done thus beneath the drive
setting. Carefully consider your e-mail action, and make a choice so.
You might even see the guide refresh setting may be the best choice for
you personally! Disabling some which you do not want will definitely
help, although this also can be placed on program tellings, you do not
have to disable them all!
Do not stop programs that are multitasking
Contrary
to popular belief, closing your apps all is not always the easiest way
to conserve battery. On some occasions, closing and reopening a program
whenever you need more electricity can be consumed by it than leaving it
to run in the background. This point my need some experimentation on
your own part, but you need to bear in mind that often shutting all of
your programs to save battery could be doing you more damage than good.
