There's a particular kind of satisfaction in tending something small and green that you built with your own hands. A terrarium delivers exactly that — a miniature garden sealed under glass, alive and quietly thriving on your desk or windowsill.

And while the ones lined up in homeware shops carry surprisingly steep price tags, the truth is you can assemble your own for a fraction of the cost in an afternoon.

No garden required, no green-fingered pedigree, no expensive kit. Just a glass container, a few handfuls of the right materials, and plants chosen to suit the world you're creating.

Start with the right container

Almost any clear glass vessel will do, which is where the savings begin. A wide-mouthed jar, a recycled sweet jar, a fishbowl or even a clean pasta sauce jar can all become the walls of your tiny world.

Wide openings make planting easier and suit dry-loving plants, while tall, narrow or lidded containers trap humidity and lean towards a lush, jungle feel. Give whatever you choose a proper wash and let it dry completely before you start, so nothing clouds the glass later.

Choose your style, then your plants

This decision shapes everything else, so make it before you buy a single plant. An open terrarium (no lid, plenty of airflow) suits succulents, cacti and air plants that like things dry and bright. Echeveria, haworthia and small cacti are forgiving and slow-growing.

A closed terrarium traps moisture and recreates a humid, rainforest-like climate that mosses, ferns, fittonia and creeping fig adore, and it's famously low-maintenance because it largely waters itself in a gentle loop.

Whichever you pick, buy small: young plants in the tiniest pots your garden center sells, or cuttings from things you already own, keep the cost down and give the arrangement room to grow into itself rather than bursting out of the glass within weeks.

Just don't mix thirsty and drought-loving species in one jar, because that rarely ends well.

Build your layers from the bottom up

A terrarium is built in layers, each with a job to do. Start with an inch or two of pebbles or gravel at the base for drainage, so roots never sit in water. Add a thin scattering of activated charcoal next, which keeps the whole thing fresh and helps stave off mold.

Some people lay a fine mesh or a layer of moss over that to stop soil sinking into the stones, though it's optional.

Finally, spoon in your potting mix, a good few inches deep, enough for roots to settle. Reach for cactus compost on open builds and a peat-free houseplant mix for closed ones.

Plant, arrange and style

Now the fun part. Make small wells in the soil and lower each plant in, firming it gently — a long spoon, a pencil or a pair of kitchen tongs works beautifully if your container is narrow.

Arrange taller plants towards the back or center and trailing ones near the edge, leaving a little breathing room between them.

Then style it like a room: a few decorative pebbles, a piece of driftwood, a scatter of moss or a single interesting stone can turn a jar of plants into something that looks properly designed. Resist the urge to overcrowd here.

Set yours somewhere with bright but indirect light, never a scorching south-facing sill, which will cook the plants behind glass.

Closed terrariums need watering only occasionally. If the glass fogs up constantly, lift the lid for a day to let it breathe. If it never fogs at all, add a light misting.

Open ones want a small drink every week or two, aimed at the soil rather than the leaves. Snip back anything that outgrows its home, and that's very nearly the whole job.

A small world of your own

Tally it up and the math is compelling. A finished terrarium from a homeware shop can cost as much as a nice dinner out, while a homemade one comes together from a repurposed jar, a bag of gravel, a handful of charcoal, some compost and a couple of small plants — most of which you can reuse or already have lying around.

Beyond the saving, you end up with something no shop-bought version can offer: a small green world you made yourself, that asks for almost nothing and rewards you every time you look at it.

I'm far from a good videographer (which is one of the reasons I've remained a writer-first in this era of Reels, TikToks, and Shorts). But that doesn't mean I don't record videos on my phone. Whenever I'm at a concert, a game, or any kind of event, I still find myself pulling out my phone to capture the moment.

The problem is that I'm terrible at keeping the camera locked on my subject. Filming a performer from way out in a crowd is quite difficult, especially when you're zoomed in.

Samsung's new foldable phones come with a new Galaxy AI video tracker feature that is designed to solve exactly that problem. I spent some time trying it on my Galaxy Z Fold 8, and I can confidently say it made filming way easier — even if there's still one thing I'd like Samsung to improve.

How Samsung's My FanCam AI feature actually works

What My FanCam essentially does is take away the stress of trying to keep a moving subject perfectly framed throughout a video. Instead of manually tracking someone while you're recording, Galaxy AI can detect a person in your video after you've finished filming and automatically follow them throughout the clip.

The end result is a new video that stays focused on that one person, almost as if someone had tracked them with the camera the entire time.

Using it is fairly straightforward. First, record a video using the Camera app on your Galaxy phone as you normally would. Once you're done, open the video in the Samsung Gallery app, tap the Galaxy AI icon, and select My FanCam.

Galaxy AI will then scan the video and detect the different people in the frame. Once it's finished, you'll see touch targets appear over each detected person. Simply tap the subject you want Galaxy AI to follow.

Before exporting the video, Samsung also lets you choose the aspect ratio. For vertical videos, 9:16 is selected by default, but you can also choose options like 1:1, 3:4, and a few others.

Once you've made your selection, tap Follow, and Galaxy AI will generate a brand-new video that keeps your chosen subject in frame throughout the clip. You can then preview the result and, if you're happy with it, Save Copy to your gallery.

My FanCam worked far better than I expected during my testing

In my testing, the feature worked great and kept track of my subject impressively well. In a way, it reminded me of Apple's Center Stage, except instead of working during live video calls, My FanCam works on pre-recorded videos, and it works on multiple people in the same clip.

The AI processing itself is also fairly quick. Samsung says the processing time depends on the length of the clip, but all of the videos I tested were processed within a matter of seconds.

Another nice touch is that it works on older videos already sitting in your gallery, so you're not limited to footage you shot after you got your new phone. This means you can go back and create FanCam videos from footage you've already captured.

My biggest complaint right now is that it's exclusive to the Galaxy Z8 series phones. And the cameras, at least on the regular Galaxy Z Fold 8, aren't the sharpest. That means if you're tracking a subject that's far away, the footage can come out looking slightly pixelated once the feature crops and zooms into your subject.

I think Samsung could take this feature a step further by using Galaxy AI to enhance the final output, especially when the video has been cropped heavily. A little AI sharpening or detail enhancement can take this feature up a notch.

Even so, I still love the feature in its current form. The fact that Samsung is using AI to automatically track a subject after you've already recorded the video is incredibly useful. I also think it would make even more sense on higher-end Galaxy phones like the Galaxy S26 Ultra, where the better camera hardware would give the AI much more detail to work with.

When I visited the beach in Malaga last year, I forgot to bring a book. No problem, I figured, I’d browse on my phone to entertain myself. I spread out my towel, applied sunscreen, and opened my email, but before long, a notice appeared saying my phone was overheating.

I flopped over onto my stomach to shade the phone with my face, but a couple minutes later, a second overheating notice appeared, and the phone turned off. So much for taking some pictures of the beach.

Now that I’ve learned my lesson and know how to keep my phone from getting overheated, I've put together these tips to prevent your phone from shutting down, too.

How to safely cool it down

It might sound ridiculous to say "don't put your phone in the freezer," but when a device shuts down in the blazing sun, panic takes over, and reaching for an ice pack suddenly feels like a stroke of genius.

Unfortunately, rushing to freeze your hot phone does far more damage than the heat ever could.

Tossing your phone into the fridge or freezer triggers rapid temperature drops that force moisture to condense inside the sealed device, causing severe water damage, battery failure, or a cracked screen.

Similarly, resting your phone directly on an ice pack thermal-shocks the lithium-ion battery, which can permanently ruin its capacity or cause the battery to swell.

Instead of subjecting your phone to extreme cold, let steady airflow do the heavy lifting. The best fix is simply placing your phone on a flat, hard surface in front of a fan or on a cooling pad. Moving air draws heat away from the body quickly and safely, without the risk of internal moisture.

For the last three years, my Sunday nights weren't dedicated to winding down or reading a book. They were spent performing what felt like unpaid physical labor in my bathroom.

If you’ve ever fallen down the rabbit hole of TikTok wash day tutorials or 20-minute YouTube videos on the Curly Girl Method, you know the exact ritual I’m talking about.

It’s an agonizing, multi-step sensory nightmare: specialized styling tools, four layered leave-ins, and a temporary vow of silence while bent double, upside down in a steamy shower trying to master the praying hands technique.

Somewhere along the line, social media convinced us that having curls requires a degree in chemistry, a bank loan, and a strict regimen of mechanical micromanagement. Call it self-care if you want, but enough was enough.

Cost of the curly girl method

Between clarifying shampoos, co-washing, deep conditioning masks, and bottles of specialized serum, following a TikTok-approved routine can easily set you back hundreds of dollars before you've even turned the shower on.

To test just how much of my life this routine was swallowing, I timed the process from the moment I turned on the shower tap to my final diffuse. The stopwatch clocked in at two full hours. Two hours! For curls that didn't last the week, even with a cast set and bonnet worn.

So, I stripped the entire routine down to its bare mechanics. It turns out, 70% of the lauded routines contain so many unnecessary steps. I chopped my routine from 120 minutes to twenty, and my curls have never had more volume, bounce, or definition.

If you’re ready to reclaim your time and money, here is the exact steps to follow.

Pick one step from your routine to skip this week and see what happens. Drop a comment with the step you’re ditching, and come back to tell us if your hair survived!

Whenever I tell people my husband is a plumber, they usually say: "That must be so handy!" And I always agree, yes, it absolutely is.

Whenever there's a plumbing (or heating) problem in my house, he knows how to solve it, and we don't have to spend extra money doing it or calling an emergency plumber late at night.

But instead of gatekeeping his secrets, I thought I'd ask him to share three of his favorite expert-approved tips that he thinks will help anyone in their home, so you can avoid making common plumbing mistakes.

Trust me, I should know if they work, because I literally use all three of them whenever needed. Here's some expert advice (free of charge) that'll hopefully even save you money in the future.

Just be sure to stick around for all three; I've saved my favorite until last.

1. Don't pour hot oil down your sink

Excess oil that you've been cooking with seems like a pretty reasonable thing to pour down your sink when you've finished with it. After all, it's greasy, runny, and edible. But don't do it.

As my plumber husband explains: "While hot oil is liquid when it's been heated up, once it cools down it sets hard. If you have an incorrect fall on your waste pipe, this oil can sit stationary inside it, leading to blockages.

"The best solution is to pour your hot oil into a foil-lined bowl, leave it to set, and then throw the foil directly into the trash once it has [congealed]."

2. Don't put bleach tablets in toilet tanks

Bleach tablets are my go-to for tackling limescale and germs in my toilets at home, but my husband always tells me that I shouldn't use them regularly and I certainly shouldn't be putting them into the tank of the toilet.

The thought hadn't crossed my mind, but he says it's quite a common mistake that people tend to make: "A bleach tablet has high concentrations of chlorine. This can cause internal parts of the [tank] to fail, leading to leaks and damage to your toilet's components."

So, while you think you may be cleaning your toilet thoroughly, you could actually be doing more harm than good, which can become quite a costly mistake. Just stick to popping them into the bowl.

3. Draw a pencil line around damp spots

Now, this one's my favorite, and it's one of those hacks you wonder why you didn't think of it yourself.

Whenever you spot a damp patch or stain in your home, here's what my plumber husband recommends: "I advise customers that if they notice a mark on their ceiling (most commonly), they should trace the outline with a pencil."

Why? Well, he adds: "If you leave it for 12 hours and come back, you'll see if the leak has gone past the pencil line. If it has, then you know you have an active leak."

And since a pencil is harmless to your ceiling, you can leave it a little longer to be extra sure or rub it away when you're fully satisfied that the leak has stopped.

If you’ve spent any time on TikTok recently, you might have felt a strange sense of déjà vu. You’re scrolling through your For You Page, watching a creator talk about their daily routine or recount a funny story, but something about their face just feels… off.

It’s not your imagination. A sophisticated new trend is taking over social video feeds: AI video hijacking.

Unlike early deepfakes or obvious synthetic AI avatars, these videos don’t start from scratch. Fraudulent accounts, often operating as automated engagement farms, are downloading real creators’ videos, isolating their original voice audio, and reskinning the footage using AI face-swaps.

It’s video identity theft and digital puppetry rolled into one. While the technology is getting scarily realistic, the seam marks are still there if you know where to look.

Here are 5 dead giveaways that the TikTok you’re watching has been hijacked by AI.

1. The lip-sync detachment

Because the AI is trying to map a new synthetic face onto an existing audio track that was scrubbed and isolated from the original person, the audio and visual timing almost always fall out of sync. Pay close attention to plosive sounds (words starting with P, B, D, or T).

In a real video, a person’s lips press together firmly to make these sounds. In a reskinned AI video, the lips will often float open, misalign, or look slightly detached from the actual voice's cadence.

2. Lighting disconnect (face vs. body)

Pay attention to how the light hits their skin. Real-world environments have shifting, unpredictable light, whether it’s sunlight through a window, streetlights on a drive, or passing shadows. But generative AI overlays struggle to adapt to these changes in real time.

Watch the creator’s forehead and cheekbones as they move: if the light on their body shifts naturally, but their face stays frozen in the exact same lighting, you’re looking at a digital mask.

3. Blurring at the edges

AI video tools have gotten scarily good at blending synthetic faces onto real bodies, but seamless edges are still their Achilles' heel. Where does the face end and the original person begin? That border is where the software regularly fails.

Look closely at key contact points like the neck, collarbone, and hairline. You might spot weird blurring, pixel shifting where the jaw meets a shirt collar, or hair strands that vanish unnaturally into forehead skin.

The biggest giveaway happens when hands come into frame: if the creator reaches up to adjust their hair or touch their chin, the face overlay will often momentarily distort around their fingers.

4. Pupil drift and the uncanny gaze

Human eyes continuously micro-adjust to focus on a camera lens. When an AI model maps a generated face onto a real person's eye line, the pupils often struggle to lock onto the viewer.

This results in the uncanny gaze: eyes that seem to float, swim around the socket, or look slightly past the camera even when the head is facing forward. If the person looks like they’re staring at a ghost just behind your shoulder, unblinking, trust your gut.

5. Audio phasing and reverb drops

To make the stolen video work, the account owners rip the audio straight from a real creator’s existing post. But to separate that original voice from its background music or room noise, they have to run it through AI isolation software, and that cleanup process leaves distinct digital scars.

Put in headphones and listen carefully. Even though the dialogue itself sounds completely natural, because it is a real person talking, the isolation software can mangle audio quality.

Listen for a robotic, muffled tone, or dead silence between words where natural room echo, breathing, or background hiss should be.

If the video looks high quality, but the voice sounds tinny, muffled, or isolated in a silent background, you’re likely listening to ripped audio pasted onto a synthetic face.

Why this is happening, and why it’s so alarming

Beyond the immediate nuisance of TikTok Shop spam and account farming, the real issue is that creators lose all ownership of their image.

When an account steals your face, you can end up "endorsing" products you've never used, saying things you'd never agree with, or unwittingly scamming your own audience, with almost no easy way to get the content taken down quickly.

Night sweats and allergens can ruin our sleep during the summer, and not washing your bedding enough can make these issues even worse. Sweat, oil, and allergens can build up if sheets and pillows during heatwaves, but how often (and at what temperature) should we wash our sheets in the summer?

While research has found that the average person changes their sheets every 24 days, an infection prevention expert says this is way too long a wait wash your bedding.

"Bedding collects normal skin bacteria, environmental bacteria, yeasts, mold spores, dust mites, and the allergens that come with all of it," says Dr. Shanina C. Knighton, PhD, RN, CIC, a Research Associate Professor at the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing at Case Western Reserve University.

So, to set the record straight, I've called on Dr. Knighton to tell us how often we should be washing our sheets and pillows during the summer. She'll also tell us what temperature to wash your bedding at, and three other ways you can prevent summer allergens from piling up and disrupting your sleep.

• Read more: I pointed a thermal cam at a luxury cooling pillow to see if it actually helps you stay cool in a heatwave

Key takeaways: At a glance

• Wash your sheets and pillowcases at least once a week: but those with skin conditions, an active lifestyle, or allergies will need to change them more frequently.
• Duvet covers should be washes at least every two weeks: pillows and comforters can be washed every few months if they aren't visibly soiled or stained.
• Wash bedding at a temperature of at least 130°F: with 140°F being the optimal for killing dust mites.
• Make sure bedding is well-ventilated: this prevents moisture from encouraging bacterial growth, and use a waterproof mattress protector.
• Wear slippers: these stop your feet from picking up floor debris and bringing it into your bed.

How often should you wash bed sheets and pillowcases in summer?

"Wash your sheets and pillowcases weekly at a minimum during hot weather," advises Dr Knighton.

However, the infection expert stresses that many people may need to wash their bedding more frequently depending on their lifestyle, occupation, and conditions.

"Wash more frequently if you sweat heavily, go to bed without showering, have oily or acne-prone skin, have allergies or eczema, share the bed with pets, or work a high-exposure job such as healthcare, sanitation, childcare, or repair work where you carry the day home with you," she shares.

How often should other types of bedding be washed in summer?

While Dr. Knighton advises pillowcases and sheets be washed frequently, other types of bedding can survive a longer wait.

"Duvet covers should be washed weekly or every two weeks depending on use," says Dr Knighton. "Pillows and comforters follow the care label, which is usually every few months, and sooner if they become sweaty, stained, musty, or visibly soiled."

However, just because pillows, duvet cover, and comforters don't need to be washed as often as sheets and pillowcases, this doesn't mean they aren't immune to allergen and moisture build-up.

In fact, Dr. Knighton says that dense pillows and comforter can hold onto moisture far longer than thinner sheets do, trapping heat, sweat, skin oils, and dead cells without airflow.

These warm, moist conditions allow bacteria, fungi, and odors to thrive deep inside the fill — even if your sheets look completely clean on the surface.

"Over time, that same combination is what produces the musty smell, the yellowing, and the staining that will not wash out easily," explains the health specialist.

What temperature should bedding be washed at in summer?

As for what temperature you should was bedding at, Dr Knighton points to research that found that 140°F (60°C) kills all house dust mites.

However, she suggests following the bedding's care labels and opting for the warmest temperature the fabric can stand, with most allergy guidance pointing to 130°F (which is 54.4°C).

What happens if you don't wash your bedding often enough in summer?

So, we know if we don't wash our bedding often enough, oil, sweat and allergens will start to accumulate in our beds, but what are the consequences of that happening?

"The risk is not the same for everyone, and that is the honest answer," Dr. Knighton tells me. "For a healthy person with intact skin, the usual result is odor, breakouts, skin irritation, or allergy and asthma flares.

"For someone with asthma, mold sensitivity, eczema, broken skin, or a weakened immune system, the picture is more serious, and there is real infection risk for the immunocompromised."

3 more ways to keep your bedding clean in summer

1. Wear slippers or socks

"Slippers are not optional in my house and serve a purpose beyond just comfort," says Dr Knighton.

She says this rule applies especially to those who have pets or allow outdoor shoes indoors, where the floor could be covered in debris.

"Walking across it barefoot and then climbing into bed means you have just dragged all of that up onto your sheets with your own feet.," she warns. "A pair of slippers between the floor and the bed breaks that chain."

2. Don't bring your phone to bed

You may want to skip your nightly doomscrolling session, as a phone's surface are "one of the dirtiest things most people own".

The same phone that has been on restaurant tables, in bathrooms, and in their hands all day, and they set it on the pillow or the sheets, " says Dr. Knighton. "My phone does not come to bed with me."

The expert also says she doesn't bring the clothes she's been wearing all day to bed either. " Whatever my outdoor clothes and my phone touched during the day stays out of the space where I sleep," she reveals.

3. Make sure your bed is dry

While washing your bedding is important, keeping it dry also prevents the risk of allergen buildup.

To prevent your bedding trapping moisture and encouraging microbial growth, Dr Knighton recommends using one of the best mattress protectors with waterproof protection and ensuring your bedding gets enough ventilation.

If excessive sweating at night means you're waking up to a damp bed, the infection prevention expert recommends allowing the bedding to dry before making it.

"After a sweaty night, throw the covers back, let the bed breathe for a while, and make it later," she advises.

Summer is when jade plants either thrive or struggle. The intense heat, longer days, and seasonal changes stress plants differently than other times of year. If your jade is suddenly dropping leaves, the cause is likely tied to summer conditions.

Jade plants are resilient succulents that can live for decades, but they communicate distress through leaf drop. Once you identify what's wrong, the fix is usually simple.

Here's how to diagnose the problem and get your jade back to healthy growth before fall arrives.

I've always found growing tomatoes tricky. Every year, I make a new attempt, but the results are inconsistent. One year, I'll get a few worthy of a salad, the next it'll be a total fail.

And as I sat out in my yard recently, I stared at this year's yield – tomato plants that had stopped growing entirely. So, I did what I love to do and headed online to social media to see if I could find an answer.

Fortunately, tomato growing hacks are never hard to find, from using this common kitchen scrap for zero-waste gardening to trying out an ingenious tomato-watering trick, but this time I was looking for something that would switch up my tomato growing game altogether.

Then, I found a TikTok that told me I've actually been doing it all wrong. It turns out we should all be planting our tomato plants horizontally. It might sound crazy, but it's actually a stroke of genius. Here's how it works.

How does it work?

I'm a sucker for TikTok creator, @creative_explained's videos and I'm not the only one. With over 7.5m followers, he's known for consistently sharing quick home and garden hacks with an enthusiasm that's infectious. I should know; I've been using his money-saving hack for giving my plants a boost this year, and I've been shocked by the results.

But it's this tomato planting hack that caught my attention this time. As he demonstrates, you take a tomato plant and strip all the leaves off the stalk, leaving just the top shoot with one leaf.

Then, you dig a trench in your garden bed. After exposing the roots of your tomato plant and breaking apart the soil at the base, lay the entire plant horizontally into the trench.

Bury the entire stalk with soil, leaving just the top shoot and leaf exposed. Raise just this part and hold it vertically with soil.

He explains: "What's going to happen now underneath the soil is that the tomato will grow roots all along its stem.

It'll start to grow new shoots. The stem pretty much transforms into an entire root system." Genius.

Here's what happened when I tried it

I fear I may have found this hack a little late for the tomato growing season, but with hot weather in my area, I figured I could still transplant outside with a totally new tomato plant to hand.

Planting it horizontally was simple enough, even if it did feel like a strange process. I've had success with @creative_explained's hacks before like using potato peel water in my soil, so I'm looking forward to seeing the results. In terms of process, it was easy to do, though I needed to find a space in my garden bed that was long enough to accommodate.

Fortunately, I recently dug up some old rhubarb that was suffering in the heat, so I had the space to try out this horizontal planting trick. Now, I just need to wait until fall to see the results, but it feels good to try out something entirely new for a change. Growing tomatoes is a tricky business, but this might well be the solution I've been desperately searching for.

Time is running out to grab your cut of Amazon’s massive $2.5 billion settlement with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

If you accidentally ended up paying for a Prime membership or struggled to cancel one, you could be owed up to $51, but the deadline to submit a claim is fast approaching on Monday, July 27.

The payout stems from an FTC lawsuit alleging Amazon used deceptive design tactics to trick customers into signing up for Prime subscriptions and intentionally made the cancellation process confusing.

While Amazon paid $1 billion in civil penalties, the remaining $1.5 billion was earmarked directly for affected consumers.

Automatic refunds were disbursed to the first wave of users late last year, but millions of additional shoppers are eligible for the second payout phase, provided they act before the deadline.

Who qualifies for a refund?

You don't need to currently hold an active Prime account to file a claim, but you must meet all four of the following criteria:

• You must be a U.S. consumer.
  
• You enrolled in Amazon Prime between June 23, 2019, and June 23, 2025 through a challenged checkout page, OR attempted to cancel during that period and were unable to do so.
  
• You used fewer than 10 Prime benefits (such as streaming Prime Video, using free shipping, or Prime Reading) during any 12-month period of your enrollment.
  
• You did not already receive an automatic refund during Phase 1 (which was paid out in late 2025 to ultra-low usage customers who used 3 or fewer benefits).
  
• If you used between 4 and 9 Prime benefits, you were not eligible for the automatic Phase 1 payment — meaning you must manually file a claim before the July 27 deadline to receive your payout.

How to file your claim

Filing takes less than five minutes online through the official administrator at SubscriptionMembershipSettlement.com.

First, check your inbox for a message sent from subscriptionmembershipsettlement.com in January, which contains a unique Claim ID and PIN to expedite the process.

If you can't find that notice, simply select the option stating "I DO NOT have a Claim ID and PIN" on the homepage to manually enter your name, address, and Amazon account details.

You can choose to receive your payout via direct deposit, PayPal, Venmo, or check. Once the July 27 filing window closes, Amazon will review all submitted claims, with approved payouts expected to be disbursed in late 2026.

I thought my biggest challenge would be choosing between medium-firm and hybrid. Instead, my shiny new mattress arrived with an unwelcome guest: a harsh chemical stench that turned my bedroom into a paint factory.

While the support was sheer heaven for my aching back, the overwhelming scent made sleeping on it impossible. That lingering smell is off-gassing, a common nuisance with modern foam beds, but you do not have to just sit back and endure it.

Here is what actually causes that industrial odor, the rookie mistakes to avoid, and the practical steps I took to clear the smell from my bedroom.

What causes mattress off-gassing?

The moment you break the vacuum seal on a fresh mattress, synthetic materials suddenly react with room air. Most bed-in-a-box models rely on polyurethane foams, adhesives, and flame retardants that release Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) as they expand.

Trapped in heavy plastic packaging for weeks or months, those compounds escape all at once upon unboxing. While the scent is rarely harmful to health, it can trigger headaches or throat irritation, and it can certainly ruin a good night's sleep.

The initial mistakes that made the smell worse

My immediate instinct was to slap on a mattress protector, dress the bed with fresh linen, and shut the bedroom door to contain the problem. That was a mistake.

Sealing the mattress traps escaping gases directly inside the foam layers, prolonging the off-gassing process by days. Spraying heavy scented fabric refreshers only created a bizarre, nauseating mix of lavender and industrial solvent. To actually neutralize the odor, the mattress needs constant airflow and room to breathe.

How to stop the off-gassing smell

First, strip the mattress bare and open windows on opposite sides of the room to establish proper cross-ventilation.

Next, position a floor fan so it blows air directly across the top surface toward an open window. Pushing stale air away from the bed prevents escaping gases from settling back into the fabric, cutting the off-gassing timeframe nearly in half.

Foam acts like a dense, microscopic sponge filled with pockets of trapped gas. To speed up the release, walk barefoot back and forth across the mattress surface for ten minutes, or press down firmly with your hands.

This mechanical pressure squeezes trapped VOCs out of the inner core much faster than passive airing alone.

Once the room has aired out for several hours, sprinkle a light, even layer of plain baking soda over the exposed mattress top. Let it sit untouched for at least four hours (overnight is even better), so the powder can pull residual moisture and chemical odors out of the outer ticking.

Finish by thoroughly vacuuming the surface using a clean upholstery attachment, taking care to clean out the deep side seams.

How long does the smell really last?

By combining forced airflow with manual compression and a basic baking soda treatment, the heavy chemical scent vanished within 48 hours.

While a faint smell can linger for up to a week depending on the mattress density, taking active steps means you can sleep comfortably without sacrificing your air quality, or your lungs.

If you ever went diving into the various hidden features on offer in iOS 26, you may be aware of the handwriting option in the Messages app. Doing exactly what its name suggests, this feature lets you handwrite messages or draw pictures, and send them to contacts. Potentially very useful, even if it wasn't easy to find.

iOS 27 takes that idea and makes it a lot simpler, turning iMessage's handwriting mode into a dedicated applet within the Messages app. Or, in other words, Apple has tweaked the feature in such a way that it is easier to both find and use. Better still, a bunch of useful improvements were added in the process, making it more like the handwriting tools in Apple Notes.

Here's how to send handwritten messages and drawings over iMessage in iOS 27.

There you have it, an easy and quick way to send handwritten messages in the Apple Messages app, and without being forced to use landscape mode in the process.

It may not be an entirely new feature for iOS 27, but Apple has taken this extremely well-hidden feature and made it that little bit more accessible for iPhone users everywhere. So you might as well take advantage of it and flex your handwriting muscles once more.

We’ve all been there: you spot a bizarre, brightly colored bug crawling on your tomato plants or a strange, furry moth hovering near your flowers, and you want to know what it is right now. But rather than typing desperate, vague descriptions into a Google search bar, there’s a much faster way to decode your backyard.

Hidden directly inside your iPhone's standard Photos app is a remarkably powerful machine learning tool that turns your camera roll into an instant nature scanner.

I’ve spent the last week or so pointing my camera at every leaf and brick wall in my yard to see just how accurate this built-in feature really is. Here is how to find the button on your phone, and the wildest garden bugs it's helped me identify so far this summer.

How the feature works

The next time you snap a crisp close-up of a creature or plant, simply open that image in your Photos and look closely at the action bar running along the bottom of the screen.

If your iPhone recognizes a subject in the frame, the standard information circle icon will automatically transform, signalling that Visual Look Up is ready. Tap that, then hold the answer to have Siri pull up more information about your snapped subject.

The best part about this is that it isn't just a dead end. Once Siri identifies the insect, you don't have to stop there. Because iOS now supports conversational continuity, you can actually get into a back-and-forth chat with Siri about the specific thing you’ve found.

You can ask follow-up questions like whether it's dangerous to your tomato plants, what its lifespan is, or how to encourage more of them to visit, allowing you to learn much more without ever leaving your photo library.

Identifying my garden neighbours

Once you know how to trigger it, your photo library essentially becomes a real-life Pokédex. I’ve spent the summer pointing my lens at the grass and garden walls to see how many 'rare spawns' I could find, and I’ve cataloged a bizarrely brilliant cast of characters that I used to walk right past.

My absolute favorite find was a frantic, hovering blur near my lavender. A quick scan unmasked it as a Hummingbird Hawk-Moth, an insect that mimics a bird so perfectly I thought I'd stumbled upon some rare phenomenon, but I was soon schooled about the day moth's lore.

Suddenly, every morning (and evening) became a game of hunting down new species. I used the tool to log a tiny, striped Zebra Spider, spot a Scarlet Tiger Moth hiding by the nettles, and a Red-veined Darter dragonfly.

By the time I had logged everything from grasshoppers to metallic beetles, my perspective on my yard had completely shifted. Thanks to this one iPhone feature, I now see my garden for what it is: a beautifully complex, thriving ecosystem.

Why don't you have a go at scanning your own backyard. Just don't blame me when your camera roll is completely taken over by bugs.

There's no denying it, we're having a heatwave heavy summer in the U.K. But, while we're all struggling to keep cool, there's something else we need to worry about in this heat — our fridges.

I do my weekly online shop at Tesco, but I recently noticed I wasn't able to get some items because the fridges weren't working. And I'm sure I'm not the only one that's noticed the melting chocolate bars on the shelves. So, if the supermarkets aren't coping, how are our fridges going to keep up at home?

Well, if you've got an older fridge, it might be bad news. According to Dr Alan Foster, a refrigeration expert who spoke with the BBC, a lot of appliances were: "designed decades ago in a much cooler world."

Most were manufactured to cope with temperatures of up to 32C, and with temperatures rising, they're struggling to function. Some owners may even find their fridges stop working entirely.

If the current weather has got you considering a replacement fridge, here are the three things you should consider, according to an expert.

3 things to consider when buying a new fridge

Buying a new fridge can be a pretty overwhelming purchase. There are so many to choose from and what works for your household might not work for someone else's. Fortunately, we spoke to Ilaria Castagnoli, Product Trainer at SMEG USA to find out her top tips for buying a replacement.

1. Check the energy efficiency

Unsurprisingly, if you're buying a replacement because your fridge can't handle the heat, you'll want to prioritise whether a newer model is Energy Star rated. Castagnoli says: "These units will be the most energy efficient options on the market, not only decreasing your energy use but also helping you save on your utility bill in the long run."

2. Look at different configurations

A fridge isn't one-size-fits-all and if you're combining it with a freezer, you've really got to think about what works for you and the other people in your household. "It's also important to think about the type of food you buy and the layout of the unit that will be easiest for you to manage on a daily basis," Castagnoli advises.

This means taking into consideration whether a bottom or top freezer works best for you, whether you'd prefer a side-by-side unit for easier access, or as Castagnoli also recommends: "Families who like to include ice in every beverage, or access filtered water regularly, should opt for a side-by-side or bottom freezer French door configuration." It all comes down to personal preference and needs.

3. Prioritise features for food freshness

If you're replacing an older fridge, chances are it hasn't got the features that are available on today's market, which are abundant especially when it comes to food freshness.

Castagnoli recommends: "Crisper drawers that offer independent temperature and humidity controls are an important consideration because fruits and vegetables often require higher humidity than the main cavity of the refrigerator provides, and different types of produce require different levels of humidity."

Additional features Castagnoli suggests looking out aside from food freshness include LCD lighting, adjustable shelving, and even whether a model offers a holiday mode.

Sam Burns is in pole position to win The Open 2026 after producing a third-round 65 to move to 10-under. The American has a two-shot lead over South Korea's Si Woo Kim and Australia's Ryan Fox, who took advantage of calm conditions early in the day to post an eight-under 62.

Lucas Herbert posted a one-over 71 and shares fourth with Ryan Gerard on 7-under, while Bryson DeChambeau are in a group one shot further back. England's hopes are led by Tommy Fleetwood who bogeyed two of his last four holes to fall five strokes back.

Over the last few seasons, it has been Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy who have headed into every major as the pre-tournament favorites. However, this year the world’s top two both arrive in Southport with some concerns over the shape of their game.

Defending champion Scheffler missed his first cut in 78 tournaments at the Scottish Open last week, while McIlroy struggled in the third round and could be heard describing himself as 'so bad at golf' despite a final round of 64 that saw him finish tied for fifth.

Should they not be at their best, then there are a host of contenders who will hope to take advantage. South Korea’s Tom Kim was back to his very best as he claimed victory at the Scottish Open; American Chris Gotterup arrives having won three PGA Tour titles this year; and Wyndham Clark tied fourth last year and has since won the U.S. Open.

Brian Harman is also in stellar form and previously won The Open when it was last held on Merseyside in 2023. Then there’s hometown hero Tommy Fleetwood who has finished no worse than 14th in his last five tournaments, while fellow Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick has won three times on the PGA Tour this year and finished tied third at The Renaissance Club last weekend.

Below is a complete guide on where to watch 2026 The Open live streams, together with U.S. broadcast schedules and international TV channels.

You don’t have to wait to try iPadOS 27, as you can try it out now via the public beta. Even if this version of the operating system isn’t groundbreaking, its emphasis on AI should make for a more personal and customized experience.

As with iOS 27 and macOS Golden Gate, the main attraction is the reinvented Siri, which finally lives up to its potential. Siri AI, as it’s now called, is context-aware and understands what’s on your screen. Because it’s built into the OS, it can directly control and manage apps. There are also new child safety features, improved readability for Liquid Glass, new photo-editing tools, and more.

While public betas are generally safer than developer betas, it’s best to proceed with caution, as there may be bugs that could harm your iPad. If you’re not bothered by that (I’ve never had issues in all my years of running these Apple betas), then here’s how to download the iPadOS 27 public beta.

How to download the iPadOS 27 public beta

Before you install the beta, make sure to back up your iPad, just in case anything goes wrong and you need to return to iPadOS 26.

You’ll then need to enroll in the Apple Beta Software Program. You may already be enrolled from prior years, but if not, visit the sign-up page to get the ball rolling. You’ll need to log in with your name and address, then set your entity type as an individual. When the payment screen appears, back out, and you’ll be on the free developer tier.

Here is the full list of iPads that are compatible with iPadOS 27:

• iPad Pro (M4 and later)
• iPad Pro 12.9‑inch (4th generation and later)
• iPad Pro 11‑inch (2nd generation and later)
• iPad Air 13-inch (M2 and later)
• iPad Air 11-inch (M2, M3, and M4)
• iPad Air 11-inch (4th generation and later)
• iPad (A16)
• iPad (9th generation and later)
• iPad mini (A17 Pro)
• iPad mini (6th generation)

And that's how you download the iPadOS 27 public beta! You should be safe using the beta, but if you don’t want to risk it, you can always wait for the full release this Fall.

The macOS Golden Gate public beta is now live, giving you a chance to check out all the new features coming to the best MacBooks.

Expected to launch this Fall, macOS Golden Gate primarily focuses on updating Apple Intelligence and Siri, with the latter now officially called Siri AI. You don’t get many new features, but improvements to Liquid Glass’s readability, easier customization, and smoother performance make for an overall better experience.

While Apple’s public betas are generally more stable than the developer builds, it might still be buggy and could cause issues for your Mac. I’ve never experienced serious issues using any of these betas over the years, but it’s worth being cautious. With that said, here’s how to download the macOS Golden Gate public beta.

How to download the macOS Golden Gate developer beta

Downloading the macOS Golden Gate public beta is pretty simple. First, enroll your Apple ID in Apple's Beta Program and make sure your Mac is compatible. Here's the full list of Macs that can install and run macOS Golden Gate:

• MacBook Neo (2026)
• MacBook Air with Apple silicon (2020 and later)
• MacBook Pro with Apple silicon (2020 and later)
• iMac with Apple silicon (2021 and later)
• Mac mini with Apple silicon (2020 and later)
• Mac Studio with Apple silicon (2022 and later)
• Mac Pro with Apple silicon (2023 and later)

That’s all that’s required to download the macOS Golden Gate public beta. Your Mac will restart once the download finishes. After that, you can start trying out all the new features. Depending on your connection speed, the download might take a few minutes, so be patient.

Kylian Mbappe's France face Lamine Yamal's Spain in an exciting 2026 FIFA World Cup semi-final game at AT&T Stadium in Dallas on July 14. Hungry for goals? Here's a simple way to watch France vs Spain for free – in the U.S., Canada and beyond.

Kick-off is at 3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. BST, with fans around the world tuning in to see whether it will be France or Spain heading for the World Cup final.

Kylian Mbappe and Manu Kone were withdrawn late on against Morocco in the quarter-finals. The former insists he is good to play again while there are thought to be no long-term issues with the latter. However, Aurelien Tchouameni is likely to miss his third-consecutive game.

Spain may be without Victor Munoz, but Nico Williams and Yeremy Pino are expected to return from injury for this semi-final. The big question is whether Mikel Merino will get a starting spot after two goals in the last two games from the bench.

If you're searching for how to watch France vs Spain free online, we've got everything a 'soccer' fan needs, including kick-off times, TV channels, and where to find a live stream of every goal, header and Mbappe masterstroke.

Read on as we show you how to watch France vs Spain from anywhere in the world for free with Norton VPN.

You don’t have to wait any longer to experience the latest iPhone software because the iOS 27 public beta is finally available. Arriving a little over a month after its reveal at WWDC 2026, this release brings the new Siri and a host of fresh Apple Intelligence features into the fold.

Aside from a sleek visual makeover, iOS 27 introduces a slew of AI tools that prove Apple is serious about giving consumers features that save them time. From the powerful new capabilities of Siri AI to unique, generative AI-powered tools like Reframe, the iOS 27 public beta is set to breathe new life into your device.

Best of all, Apple has extended support for iOS 27 as far back as the iPhone 11 — though only the latest-generation models will have access to Siri AI and the most demanding Apple Intelligence features. If you’re holding onto a supported iPhone, here is how to download the iOS 27 public beta.

Once it's installed, you can dive right into the most exciting new iOS 27 features. Keep in mind that you'll likely need to sign up for a waitlist to get early access to Siri AI, as it's still technically in beta. Once you're approved, you’ll be able to try out all of its new capabilities, provided you're using a supported iPhone model.

Beyond that, you can immediately tap into other excellent iOS 27 features that don't require a waitlist. These include the ability to create custom digital passes in the Wallet app, the vastly improved Photo Clean Up tool, and much more.

• UFC 329 – Main card starts at 9 p.m. ET on Saturday, July 11
• Use NordVPN (up to 75% off) to watch Paramount+ from Canada

Conor McGregor vs Max Holloway 2 is a rematch 13 years in the making, as two of the organization's biggest ever stars do battle in the Octagon once again. It's an unmissable headline bout at UFC 329 — and the price is only $8.99 in the U.S. for the Main Card (from 9 p.m.) on Paramount+.

But what if you're stuck in Canada? Can you watch UFC on Paramount+ in Canada?

If you're north of the border right now and want to access your Paramount Plus UFC live stream you'll need a specific VPN to watch the McGregor vs Holloway 2 fight at around 11 p.m. ET / 8 p.m.

Not just any VPN, though, since many don't work with Paramount+ from Canada. You'll need our pick of the best VPNs to watch UFC on Paramount Plus this weekend, with details of which to choose below.

How to watch UFC 329 on Paramount+ (U.S.)

Which VPNs work with Paramount+ from Canada?

🇨🇦 Use a VPN to watch UFC 329 on Paramount Plus from Canada.

❌ Not all VPNs work with Paramount Plus.

✅ Here's the perfect VPN that works in Canada....

Can I watch UFC 329 on with a Canadian Paramount Plus account?

No. Paramount+ rights are different in Canada — UFC content is sold through local rights holders like Sportsnet, and PPV events aren’t included in the Canadian Paramount+ offering.

That means numbered UFC events in Canada like this one will be on Sportsnet Plus and other PPV providers, with $69.99 the price for UFC 329 in Canada.

Remember: If you are visiting Canada and watch to watch McGregor vs Holloway 2 on Paramount+ for $8.99, you will need a compatible VPN to remove regional blocks.

Paramount+ will offer replays of each fight (you don't watch the whole night — you can pick fights to replay).

Basil is fussy about conditions. It comes from warm tropical environments where it thrives in heat, bright light, and consistent care. When basil starts turning yellow, it's essentially waving a flag. Something in its environment has shifted.

Once you understand what basil needs, diagnosing the problem becomes straightforward. In most cases, yellowing basil leaves signal one of three fixable issues. Here's how to identify which one and get your plant back to thriving.

1. Your basil is too wet

Overwatering causes about 80% of basil yellowing problems. Basil hates sitting in waterlogged soil. When soil stays damp, roots suffocate and can't absorb nutrients or oxygen. The plant essentially drowns from the inside.

Look at the lower leaves first. If they're turning soft and mushy yellow while the soil feels damp or smells stale, you're watering too much. The fix is immediate: stop watering completely. Let the top 1-2 inches of soil dry out entirely before you water again.

Also, make sure your pot has drainage holes. This is non-negotiable for basil.

Going forward, water when soil feels dry to the touch, not on a schedule. Basil would rather be slightly underwatered than oversaturated.

2. It's living in the shadows

Basil is a sun worshipper that needs 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily to maintain its green color. Without it, the entire plant looks pale and yellowish. You'll also notice the stems getting long, thin, and stretchy as they reach desperately toward the nearest light source.

Move basil to your absolute sunniest window, preferably south-facing. If indoor light is genuinely limited, a cheap LED grow light makes an enormous difference. Even a few hours under a grow light daily revives pale, yellowing basil remarkably fast.

Outdoor placement works too, if weather allows. Exposure to full sun transforms basil plants within days.

3. The soil has nothing left to give

Basil grows aggressively and depletes potting soil nutrients within 4-6 weeks. Nitrogen deficiency is usually the culprit behind yellowing leaves. Unlike the mushy yellow from overwatering, nutrient-starved basil stays firm. The entire plant just looks pale and stunted.

Give it a drink of balanced, water-soluble fertilizer mixed at half strength — tomato or herb fertilizer works perfectly. One feeding usually restores color within a week or two. If you're using basil heavily for cooking, consider fertilizing every 2-3 weeks to keep nutrients available.

Cleaning my oven is one of those jobs I always put off. It just seem so laborious that I end up delaying cleaning it at all, which only makes it so much worse. I've found myself staring at oven cleaning products, unsure which one to choose and worrying about how toxic they are or how much elbow grease I'll need to put in to actually achieve results I'm pleased with. Unsurprisingly with all this overthinking, I end up giving up before I've even started.

But, then I saw a TikTok hack that suggested I would only need to use two items which I already happen to own (and it's likely you do too). With just a bottle of Cif and some cling wrap to hand, it seemed like a very affordable way to get my oven clean and the video I saw also made it look so simple. But... is it really that easy? Here's what happened when I tried it.

How does it work?

TikTok page, @cleanipedia_uk, posts expert cleaning hacks and tips by Unilever to its almost 70k followerss. But, it's this specific oven cleaning hack (featured above) that really caught my eye.

Using just Cif and some cling wrap, both of which are budget-friendly, it demonstrates that your oven can go from caked in built-up grease to completely clean (apparently). And all it takes is just five simple steps.

To follow this hack, you can:

• Apply Cif Cream to your oven door
• Cover with cling wrap and spread the cream underneath
• Wait for around an hour
• Remove the cling wrap and scrub with a non-abrasive sponge
• Wipe away everything with a damp microfibre cloth

While users in the comments were worried that the Cif would leave a smell, Cleanipedia replied: "Just make sure you wipe and rinse properly!" And some users suggested you should just be cleaning your oven whenever you use it.

For me, as much as I want to be a person that remembers to clean their oven every time it gets used, I'll never remember to go back after it's cooled down. Inevitably, my oven just keeps getting dirtier. So, a hack like this seems like a good alternative.

Here's what happened when I tried it

Armed with my bottle of Cif, some cling wrap and a dream, I thought I'd give it a go. Now, I'm aware that my oven is a bit of a mess, hence needing a TikTok hack like this to hopefully save me. And following five steps seemed simple enough – and it was.

I applied my Cif Cream and covered it in cling wrap, which took about 1 minutes (2 when wrestling with the cling wrap tube) and I decided to leave it for an hour, as recommended.

After an hour, I went back to my oven and I was a little concerned that it didn't look like the Cif was infiltrating the grease the way the video had shown. As Cleanipedia suggests though, the longer you leave it the better, so I left it for another hour before returning to give it a scrub.

I'll start by saying I was surprised about how much elbow grease was still needed to clean off the grease, but I was ultimately still impressed that it took away a lot of the grease from the main part of the door.

As you can see from the picture above though, it didn't tackle the caked-on grease nearly as well as I'd hoped. But, I'm not done trying this method. I'll leave it on for much longer next time and I'll make sure my sponge is a little more ready to scour.

It's definitely something I'll be trying again and I loved how easy it was. I also felt more comfortable leaving the Cif on the oven door for a length of time when I knew it was covered up. It was easy to forget about and if I'd forgotten about it for longer, maybe I would've gotten better results.

If you use Apple's Shortcuts app for a lot of things, you may have come across a bug that seems to delete specific shortcuts from your phone without warning — even if you have iCloud sync switched on. The good news is that those Shortcuts aren't gone for ever, and the better news is that iOS 27 beta 3 just made it easier to restore them.

The latest iOS 27 developer beta comes with a Restore button hidden in the settings for the Shortcuts app. As spotted by iBanks3 over on Reddit, the new beta lets Shortcuts warn you if it detects any shortcuts that aren't present in your library.

Better still, instead of making you jump through various steps to restore old backups or remake those missing shortcuts, you're able to bring them back with the push of a button. Here's what you need to do.

The problem itself is likely caused by some sort of syncing issue with iCloud, though why the shortcuts are backed up and later erased from your device isn't entirely clear. In fact some people have reported either finding duplicates of existing shortcuts, or failing to notice that any had actually disappeared. Which is a very curious state of affairs.

Still, the fact that they can now be restored can only be a good thing. So if you've been wondering what's been going on in the Shortcuts app, and could swear that you had a shortcut that has since vanished, be sure to check in the settings. Some of them may just be hiding on iCloud.

One of the more annoying aspects of CarPlay is how any and all compatible apps are automatically displayed on your vehicle’s screen — whether you like it or not. For example, ChatGPT recently added CarPlay support to its iPhone app, and now I have the AI giant’s icon on my screen. I’ll never want to talk to AI while driving down the road, especially when I barely like talking to Siri to send a text message.

Adding to the frustration, there’s really no rhyme or reason to the order the apps are put in. It's annoying. If you're like me and despise the unorganized look of your CarPlay dashboard, I’ll guide you through on how to add, remove, and rearrange apps in Apple CarPlay.

How to rearrange CarPlay apps

Once you have all of the apps you want or don’t want in the right spot, take an extra moment to rearrange the order of how the apps are displayed in CarPlay by using the three-line handle to drag-and-drop them to the right spot.

If you edited apps while sitting in your car and you could watch them disappear in real time, but if you made the changes on your iPhone before your next drive, you’ll instantly see the apps arranged on your new home screen the next time you connect your phone to your car.

The desire to disconnect is growing, but finding the right balance can be difficult. Parents face a classic modern dilemma when trying to give their children a safe way to stay in touch without handing over a dopamine-fueled playground.

At the same time, many adults (myself included) are desperately seeking an escape from screen addiction but find that traditional "dumb phones" lack essential modern tools like reliable GPS tracking or banking apps.

You might think the only solution is buying a specialized device or paying for a third-party app. It turns out, the perfect distraction-free solution is probably sitting in your desk drawer right now with an older iPhone.

The eco-system advantage

Apple actually built the ultimate distraction-free phone inside iOS 17, they just didn't advertise it. A feature called Assistive Access, originally designed as an accessibility tool for cognitive disabilities, completely strips away the complex ecosystem of iOS and replaces it with massive, simplified blocks.

The real genius here is how it handles temptation and security. In standard iOS, it is entirely too easy to bypass your own app limits or click web links sent via text message. Under this mode, web links are rendered completely dead text, entirely shutting down that internet loophole.

Google is rolling out a new setting called "Search Services History" that saves your media inputs like Google Lens photos, Google Translate data and voice searches to train its AI models.

If you already have Google's master Web & App Activity turned off, you're safe. But for everyone else, this feature is enabled by default. It doesn't scrape external files you just listen to or click on, but it does harvest the voice commands and images you directly upload.

Taking action now matters. While deleting your history disconnects it from your account immediately, an anonymized version can still sit in Google's AI training systems for up to four years.

Here is how to check your account and turn it off immediately.
