Backing up means that you are copying certain files/ pictures and settings from your iOS or iPadOS device to your system. It is regarded as one of the best ways to make sure you don’t lose the information on your device. In case of any damage or misplacement, your backup will help you.

This backup facility is not only limited to this. It is also useful if you get a new device and want to transfer your previous data into it.

If the backup is done at the right time, it saves a lot of your energy and time in the future.

How to Back up your device?

iTunes is very helpful as it automatically backs up your device when you connect it to your computer. There is no need to do lengthy procedures for hours. There is another way i.e. back up your device manually at any time. It depends on what version you have. If you have iOS 3.0 or later, iTunes can encrypt your backups to secure your data very easily.

Here are some steps for easy backup:

  • First, you have to connect your device to the computer you normally sync with.
  • The iTunes app that you have on your PC, see the top left of the iTunes window, and click the Device button near it.
  • Now you have to click on Summary.
  • After that, click Backup Now (that is below Backups).
  • in order to encrypt your backups, select “Encrypt [device] backup”, type a password, then click Set Password.

If you have to see the backups stored on your computer, choose Edit then Preferences, then click Devices.

Almost all of the Encrypted backups have a lock icon in the list of backups. Here you can find all the data that has been backed up.

Restore your device from a backup

The Tech world is amazing. There have been so many advancements over the years that they stun you sometimes and you can’t believe if they are true or not. Not only can you save the data on your computer but you can also restore backed up information to your device.

For this, you have to follow these steps that are explained below:

  • First, you have to connect your device to the computer you normally sync with.
  • Then go to the iTunes app on your PC. Now look for the Device button near the top left of the iTunes window and click it.
  • After that click Summary.
  • Then click Restore Backup.
  • If you have encrypted backup, iTunes will ask you to enter the password before restoring your files and settings.

The information that is backed-up automatically includes text messages, notes, call history, contact favorites, sound settings, widget settings, and much more.

In addition to it, photos in Camera Roll or Saved Photos are also backed up. For that one can either use google photos or iCloud. Other media files like songs, videos, and some photos aren’t backed up but you can always restore them by syncing with iTunes.

If you are an iPhone user, you can look for the user guide for your device or visit any iPhone repair shop. This can help you to learn so many things that you don’t already know. They have also provided the number of the support center where one can call anytime in the available hours and they will answer the queries.

Conclusion:

All set? Switching the data might not be as easy as it sounds but if you switch it at the right time it will benefit you a lot. There are other ways of transferring too but this is by far the best one we know that consumes less time and is reliable. Happy transferring!

Some Easy Ways to Switch from iPhone to Android! https://codehabitude.com/switch-from-iphone-to-android/ Tue, 02 Jun 2020 16:40:26 +0000 https://codehabitude.com/?p=3672 If you are convinced to leave your iPhone, it’s a major move. Although there are a lot of surface-level differences, Android and iOS have a lot in common. By following the right steps you can switch from an iPhone to an Android device without losing anything important.

Here is an easy guide that you can follow, and you’ll be merrily settled in your new high-tech device in almost no time.

iOS-to-Android switching tools

Some Android devices, like Samsung’s Galaxy phones, come with their all-in-one iPhone-to-Android switching systems. These systems have special software and possibly even physical cables for moving data from your iPhone to your new Android device in one go. If your Android phone offers such a service, it’s a smart place to start.

It is known that these all-in-one methods aren’t available on every phone. So here are some other ways that can help you transfer the data without having a migraine.

Calendar, contacts, and photos

This might be the simplest of them all to do. To migrate these from iOS to Android, all you have to do is:

  • Install the Google Drive app on your iPhone and sign in to it using your primary Google account. (If you don’t yet have a Google account, the app will allow you to create one.)
  • Now open the Drive app’s menu, select “Settings” and then “Backup.” on your iPhone.
  • It lets you tap on some or all of the available areas, depending on whatever you want.
  • In order to move them all at once, you just have to tap the blue “Start Backup”. This makes the app deal with everything at once.

This can take a while because of the fair amount of data so it is recommended that you do it when your phone can be plugged in, connected to a reliable Wi-Fi network, and not immediately needed for anything else.

When all is done, you have to sign in to your new Android phone with that same Google account. There you can find your calendar data in the Google Calendar app, your contacts data in the Google Contacts app, and all of your photos and videos in the Google Photos app.

Apps

There is a piece of bad news. If you’ve installed any apps on your iPhone repair you won’t be able to automatically transfer them over to Android. Moreover, if you have paid for apps you might have to purchase them again. But there comes good news with the bad one. Most major productivity apps are readily available on both Android and iPhone.

Go to Google’s Play Store and take a few minutes, log into it either through your Android phone or via a web browser on any computer, you can search for the apps you want. If you install an app onto your phone and it asks you to sign in when you first open it, make sure to use the same username or email address you used on your iPhone so that any data tied to your account will carry over.

Email

Changing the phone is never an easy task. If you are ready to bring all of your emails over to your shiny new smartphone then you just have to follow these ridiculously simple steps depending on the type of setup you have.

If you have a google account, this transformation is really simple and takes no time at all. You just have to log out of all the accounts that are logged in your Gmail and log into them from your new Android phone.

There are other setups as well but the most commonly used is Gmail.

Messaging

It is a known fact that Apple’s iMessage system doesn’t get along with non-Apple platforms. But one can never always try to do the impossible. By following steps, you can almost achieve what you want.

  • First, you have to go into Settings on your iPhone.
  • Then you have to tap “Messages,” and then toggle “iMessage” off.
  • While you’re in Settings, you should look for the “FaceTime” option and toggle it off, as there is no facetime on Android.
  • Now you have to open Apple’s “Deregister iMessage” web page and scroll down to “No longer have your iPhone?”
  • After putting in your phone number, click the link to send a confirmation code, and then type the confirmation code you have received.
  • All of the steps are critical; and if you don’t complete them, Apple will likely intercept at least some text messages, and you’ll never even know you had them

Conclusion:

All of the above are some simple steps for swapping some of the important things you might need in your Android. Just follow them and use your new phone hassle-free.

iOS-13 New Version Update https://codehabitude.com/ios-13-new-version-update/ Thu, 26 Dec 2019 10:11:03 +0000 https://codehabitude.com/?p=1427

2019, Apple announced a lot of new products and innovations that we will see in the coming future at WWDC 2019- its annual gala conference for iOS app developers. Apart from all the new stuff like Mac Pro, Pro Display XDR, MacOS Catalina and iPad OS, Apple announced its latest iOS version, iOS 13 that is being said to enhance the iPhone experience ever.

The first iOS 13 is now available for users with lots of new features and enhancements. Before we dig deeper into all the features and what that means for the future of iOS app development .

iOS 13 new features:

Sign in with Apple:

A great new feature is developers’ ability to build in a Sign in with Apple option into their apps, much like you can currently do to sign into services with Google or Facebook.When built in, even if you’re using a service for the first time, you’ll be able to confirm your ID with Face ID or Touch ID to sign in with a new account using just your Apple credentials.

Apple seems to be really serious about the privacy of iOS users and has rolled out a new option to sign in on different third-party platforms using ‘Sign in with Apple’.

What’s unique about this feature is it doesn’t shareyour private details with the developers but instead create a unique random email for every user that is used for signing in. This way the private details of every user is safe.

Dark Mode:

iOS 13 is a system-wide Dark Mode, something that isn’t ubiquitous on Android phones. Apple showed how it works across the operating system and throughout its first party apps – Messages, Photos, Mail – they all take in a dark theme to give a unified black look to your iPhone.

Dark mode will also save iPhone battery on iPhones with OLED screens like iPhone X. Automatic switching of light to dark mode can be enabled via the Control Center.

QuickPath Keyboard:

Apple’s default keyboard- QuickType will now come with a swipe-to-type feature that enables users to type words by sliding across the keyboard. Android already has such a feature and there are several iOS keyboard extensions like SwiftKey for this, but an official update to the default keyboard is what was needed on the iOS devices.

Reminders:

it has been rightly given some love. We’ve found its interface confusing and unhelpful, so Apple has given it a full overhaul with smart lists, a better layout and organisation options, plus people tagging which syncs with Messages for collaboration.

With big color-coded buttons for different categories, one can stay more organized. Also, the quick toolbar on the top makes it easy to add time, date, location, photos and more.

 

Photos and Camera:

The Photos app will let you easier edit your snaps within the app. As well as saturation, brightness and contrasts, Apple says it’ll be adding more to tweak your photos without having to use third party apps. You will also be able to apply filters and effects to videos in iOS for the first time.

There are several exciting updates to the Camera app and the new features include the option to allow you to change light intensity in portrait mode. Also, portrait mode now has a new monochromatic effect – High Key Mono.

WiFi & Bluetooth:

In iOS 13, users will be able to choose WiFi networks & Bluetooth devices to connect from the control center itself.No longer users are required to scroll through several sub-menus to connect to their Bluetooth  of a new WiFi network.

Maps & FindMe App:

Apple had a PR disaster when it launched its terrible v1 of Maps, so it’s good to see it seemingly get even better in iOS 13. Apple claimed its cars have driven four million miles to collect better road, terrain and building data.The new interface looks neater and more organized.

You will also get things like favourites and collections to group routes and frequently used searches, while Lookaround is an Apple version of Google’s Street View.

Apple has taken an effort to club two different apps – Find My Phone & Find My Friends in a user-friendly and intuitive app. This will enable you to find your missing gadgets and locate your friends using a single interface.

The new app is faster and will use encrypted, crowd-sourced Bluetooth signals to track down devices that aren’t even connected to WiFi or cellular networks.

Compatible with iOS 13 as below iPhones:

  1. iPod touch (7th gen)
  2. iPhone 6s & iPhone 6s Plus
  3. iPhone SE & iPhone 7 & iPhone 7 Plus
  4. iPhone 8 & iPhone 8 Plus
  5. iPhone X
  6. iPhone XR & iPhone XS & iPhone XS Max
  7. iPhone 11 & iPhone 11 Pro & iPhone 11 Pro Max

iOS 13 is pre-installed on the new iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Max.

If you have an iPad you will need to install iPadOS.

Also, in the case of any technology, maintenance is always better as compared to the repair. This clearly applies to iPhone app development; if you don’t stay up to date, then you might lose a huge customer base and become redundant.

But, if you choose to update your apps along with the technology, then you will be able to deliver a faster, improvised experience, and you will be able to engage more with your audience. Moreover, your current investment will help new users to discover your product. 

In September 2019, Apple officially released iOS13 for users worldwide. It now consists of essential features and capabilities that will be useful not only for users but also for businesses. 

If you are an app owner & confused about whether to upgrade your App to iOS13 or not, then here, we will provide some of the reasons why iPhone app owners should upgrade their apps to iOS 13.

Even though, iOS 13 was just released before 2 months, around 50% of iPhone devices are running on the iOS 13. Moreover, 41% of users are running on iOS 12; hence, they will undoubtedly update their device to iOS 13 in the near future.

From this, it is clear that this is just the beginning of iOS 13. The latest update is compatible with more than 15 Apple devices. Moreover, Apple’s devices are reaching a wide number of consumers and enterprise organizations. Therefore we can expect that iOS13’s market share will increase more in the near future.

Without much ado, let’s get started:

Here is the 6 Reasons Why iPhone App Owners Need to Upgrade their App to iOS 13

  • Dark Mode

With iOS 13, Apple has introduced a system-wide dark mode by which it will replace all the white background with the dark ones. This feature works system-wide, hence all the iOS screens such as Home screen, Notification Centre, Widget screen, etc. Moreover, it is now available in Apple’s native apps like messages, maps, notes, and safari. 

All the third-party developers have an option to include this feature into their existing App. This feature can be scheduled to turn on instantly at sunset or at a certain time. Here, a user likes dark mode in the evening; then they can opt for.

  • Great Performance Boost

The most fantastic thing that you will notice is that Apple has made significant enhancements and optimizations so that iOS runs faster on your iPhone. Apps will launch at 2x speed than ever before. 

Unlocking the phone with the help of Face ID has become 30% faster. Moreover, the field of view of the feature is now wider; hence, you can instantly unlock your iPhone when it’s kept on the desk, you don’t need to lift it up. 

Lastly, the method in which apps are stored on the app store has changed; downloads have become 50% smaller and update 60% quicker. Hence, take benefit of this feature and consider iPhone App Development as soon as possible.

  • Reminders Get a Revamp

Reminders have got a significant update in iOS 13. The latest version of the reminders App has an updated design organized into four sections: Today, Scheduled, All, & Flagged.

Reminders can now be organized using different customizable colors and icons. In every reminder entry, you can form extra nested reminders, and all the lists can be grouped together.

When you form a new Reminder, there’s a toolbar at the top which allows you to schedule specific times for the task, organized in a way to get a reminder in the car, when reaching office, or at any location, flag a reminder as essential hence it will appear in the Flagged list, or include a photo or document. 

  • Unique Siri Functionality

Siri Shortcuts was released in iOS 12, and it gets a performance improvement in iOS 13. The App has now enhanced to the next level, with proposed automation making it even simple to develop multi-step actions. Also, Siri’s voice is now modified. Earlier, it was supplied in pre-recorded snippets using an actor’s voice. 

With the help of the latest operating system, it utilizes Neural TTS (Text to Speech). This produces words and forms the spoken sentences on the go, making it more suitable to the ears.

  • Improved Camera and Photo app

Apple’s camera and photo app have got a lot of new updates in the iOS 13. Photos app now organizes your snaps in a more enhanced way. With the help of on-device machine learning, it presents the whole library to focus on the best images based on the particular day, month, or year. The same photos or any duplicates are hidden, and all the useless receipts and notices are ignored. 

A professional photographer knows how to light up a subject and this is now available in the camera app’s portrait lighting mode. In iOS 13, it is being improvised so that you can increase or decrease the light intensity, in the same way, a pro photographer does by moving lights away and towards the model.

Moreover, the latest High-Key Mono mode helps to give a beautiful, monochromatic look to all the photos.

  • Enhanced Privacy and Better Security

Various new privacy and security features are now available in iOS 13. Users with the latest update can turn on system-wide location tracking protection. You can also integrate this feature and give an app permission to consider location “just once.” Instead, if you allow an app always to utilize location, then iOS will now provide detailed reports of the activity.

Apple has also released “Sign in with Apple.” Using this feature, all iPhone users can access any apps and services without any option of tracking. Only Face ID and Touch ID can be considered to authenticate the sign in. 

Moreover, Apple can also generate a single-use randomized email address; therefore a user doesn’t need to reveal the original email address. 

So, these were some of the most important reasons for app owners to consider and begin iPhone app development to upgrade their App to iOS 13 as soon as possible.
