Are you concerned someone may have access to your Twitter account? Do you know what devices are logged in? What if you moving to a new device; have you logged out of Twitter on the old device?
Your smart device keeps you logged in to such apps as Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Messenger, Microsoft and others. Each app has a feature to log out all devices. We want to explore logging out all devices for Twitter. Just follow these steps.
This is for iPhone or iPad and Twitter
Your Profile Screen
Tap your profile photo or swipe left to right. You will see the following image:

Tap Log out
That’s it. You are done. You now will have to log back in to use Twitter.
Your Two Factor Authentication Screen
To make your Twitter account more secure, you may want to setup Two-factor authentication. This is on the third screen in this post, under the Account option. Just tap on Security and you will see the following screen:

Select Two-factor authentication, choose one of three options displayed on your screen and follow its directions.
I recommend setting up Two-factor authentication whenever the option is available.

Apple has yet to make a big deal about their new operating system. In fact, some of these new features are hidden or have changed from their last update. I am going to discuss four new features; Battery Optimization, Update All, Rearranging Apps and Sharing Photo Location. You may want to check these out.
Apple unveils a new iPhone every year. Along with it comes a new mobile operating system (iOS), in this case iOS 13+. These features work on iPhones back to 6S and SE. If you have a 6 or 5s, you are stuck with iOS 12 variations.
This is for iPhone, iPad and Mac or any other device using iOS 13
Battery Optimization Feature
The first new feature I want to address is “Battery Optimization“. Its best to use for overnight charging. This feature learns how you charge your battery and sets up a routine of charging your phone to 80% until the time right before it knows you will wake up, at which point it will finish charging to 100%.
To set up, go to Settings>Battery>Battery Health and turn on Optimized Battery Charging. Once enabled, the slider control will be lit in green. Below is a screenshot:

Where is the Update All Feature?
The second feature is somewhat tricky. I don’t know why Apple took something so simple in their previous iOS and made this feature difficult. I assume they want you to rely on automatic updates. The feature is “Update All Apps“. In the new iOS, this feature seems to be missing, but we will get it back. This feature is for those who don’t want to wait for automatic updates.
First, lets go ahead and setup “Automatic Downloads“. To setup, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Cellular Data. To enable this feature, turn on the Automatic Downloads. The slider control will be lit in green. We are doing this in case you forget to manually update your apps.
Now, lets get the Update All feature back. Go to the App Store app and click on your profile at the top (it should have a small photo of you). Your screen will look like the below screenshot:
Updated Recently screenshot
Your will notice the Updated Recently section followed by your iPhone Apps. To get the Update All feature, swipe down on the screen. Your screen will look as follows:
Update All screenshot
Notice the Update All feature magically appears IF you have pending updates. You can click this link to update all apps or manually update an app by clicking on its Update button.
Rearranging Apps Has Been Modified
The third feature is for Rearranging Apps. When you press and holdan app, a popup menu appears. These popups are different for each app. To get the “wiggles” for dragging an app to a different location or to create a folder by dragging apps on top of each other, continue topress and hold and the wiggles will appear. Even though the app icon may be hidden by the popup menu, just continue to press and hold. Tap Done at the top of the screen when finished.
A New Privacy Option for Photos
The last feature I want to mention is about a privacy option for photos. From the Photo app, select any number of photos you plan to share. Click the Share icon at the bottom. But before you share, click Options at the top; you will get the option to include location data or not. By removing the location data it makes it a lot harder for someone to track the location of the photo(s). Below is a screenshot of including the Location. To turn off, disable the Location slider control (the control will no longer be lit).

Did you recently obtain a new iPhone? Are you concerned about losing the device? Apple owners can find the device with the Find My app for iOS 13 and above or Find My iPhone for older iOS. We are going to use iCloud to tract down your device.
Before your iPhone goes missing, there are a few options to turn on. For iOS 13+, do the following:
Tap on Settings
Tap on <Your Name>
Tap on Find My
Tap on Find My iPhone
Enable all three slider controls by tap and hold, then slide until the option is lit (highlighted in green)
For older iOS, tap on Settings, <Your Name>, iCloud, Find My iPhone and enable all three slider controls
Your screen should look like the image below:

First, using another device, try calling your number. If that doesn’t work, lets try using your browser to locate your device.
Once again, the following is for iOS 13+. The steps are similar for older iOS.
If you don’t have an iCloud account, you can download iCloud for Windows
Signin using your Apple ID and password
Your screen should look like the below image:

This is the first post in a series on “cleaning” your machine. The instructions are for a PC using the program CCleaner. There is a Mac version of CCleaner.
Your desktop and/or laptop needs a regular cleaning, like washing your car. When your system crashes, programs crash, your Internet browser fails to work properly, you perform lots of searches on the Internet; these issues leave junk files and traces of information on your Solid State Device (SSD) or hard drive(s). The more of these situations you experience, the slower your PC.
CCleaner can delete temporary files for Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Firefox. Some of the major options are built into Windows 10 latest update; you just have to find them. Some experts say that CCleaner is no longer needed. But I still find it useful. The details on how to use Windows 10 features similar to CCleaner will be available in a later post.
This tip explains how to get rid of these Junk files. You can do this manually or setup a schedule (Professional version only). I recommend you run this program for your PC desktop and/or laptop at least once a month.
The basic steps are to install the CCleaner program. The program is free or you can upgrade to a professional version for a price. Once installed (you only have to do this once), you can let the program Analyze your PC. Then you can Clean your machine.
I have used this program in many countries on all types of PCs. CCleaner has been in existence since 2004. By running this program at least once a month, your PC will be faster and smoother.
This is for Windows based operating systems
Install the program CCleaner (you only have to do this once).
Scroll down till you see the Download button (this is the Free version)
Click on Download
Follow the download instructions. Below is an image of what to expect:
CCleaner download
On your initial install you can immediately run the program. You are doing the Easy Clean option of CCleaner.
After downloading, click the Install button
Click the Run CCleaner button
Click the Start button
CCleaner may want you to close some programs. If so, click on the Close All button
The program analyzes your machine and presents you with the following screen:
CCleaner analyze
Do not be surprised if you see tens of thousands of Junk files.
Now you are ready to click the Clean All button. When the program has finished you will be presented with the following screen:
CCleaner results
Now close CCleaner and restart your machine.
That’s it. You are done! CCleaner will add a shortcut to your desktop.
There are other options available:
Custom Clean for a more robust cleaning by changing the settings. I do not recommend changing any of these settings. If you do change them, they will remain set for subsequent runs of CCleaner or until you download a new version.
Registry allows you to find and fix Registry issues (always backup the registry first). I do not recommend you use this feature.
Tools has many sub options. The most useful for me is the Uninstall option which allows you to uninstall a program. If you highlight and right-click on a program name, you are presented with other options. I recommend only using the Uninstall option or click on the Uninstall button.
Options has many sub options as well. Sadly the Scheduling option is only available in the Professional version. I use none of these options.
Upgrade option is for updating the Free version to the Professional version.
On any screen you can Check for Updates. Just click to check.
My next post with be a will cover the topic of disk fragmentation; how to check and resolve the issue.
