Should you use VPN for your phone?

VPNCity Sponsored Post
Tech-savvy users have long been on the VPN bandwagon. Even if all your online behavior is on the up and up, it’s always good to have an extra level of protection between yourself and the mischievous denizens of the internet.

?But what about a VPN for your phone

It’s strange how we usually think of our laptops and desktops as vulnerable personal hubs in need of protection, but we rarely extend that thought to include the smaller devices we use every day. In fact, 11.07 percent of all data breaches in 2019 alone were on Android.
Mobile activity accounts for half of all internet traffic worldwide, and if you’re reading this on Android Authority, our user metrics show that there’s an 80 percent chance you’re doing so on a smartphone. For many, phones have become the primary access point to the internet, but on the security side of things, we still treat them like they’re somehow magical privacy machines.
Your personal information is more available on mobile, and the odds are good you’re reading this on mobile right now.
Websites actually can learn more about you if you access them on your phone. Though the scares of the late 90s and early 2000s taught us to treat our computer internet access with precaution, we have yet to extend these lessons to smartphone use.
Security isn’t the only reason you might want to spring for a VPN on your daily driver. With a VPN, you can spoof your location with ease, granting you access to U.S.-only features or media only available in another country. Your browsing becomes thoroughly private and secure and using public Wi-Fi no longer exposes you to all forms of cyber manipulation.

VPNs offer both protection and added capability

Basically, if you’re not using a VPN on your smartphone, you’re opening yourself up to privacy invasion and missing out on a lot of added capability.

Linktree’s free workaround lets you add multiple links to your Instagram bio

How it works is fairly straightforward. After connecting Linktree to your Instagram profile, you’ll receive a single link to place in your Instagram bio.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

Our favorite iOS apps for the iPhone and iPad in 2018

Image
As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market. Unlike typical image editors that allow you to remove red eye or apply a filter, Pixaloop allows you to create stunning photo animations with a few clicks on your
