Littlemoji shrinks the large Emojis in the Messages app on iOS 10

Starting with iOS 10, Apple has super-sized all of theEmojisthat you send and receive via iMessage whenever they’re used without any complementary text. Because the Emoji experience on iOS 10 feels a lot more like Facebook Messenger’s sticker system now and not everyone’s on board with it, a new freejailbreak tweakcalledLittlemojican be used to return them back to their pre-iOS 10 size. As you probably recall with iOS 9 and earlier, Emojis that were sent and received were the same size as any other line of text you would see in theMessagesapp....

My favorite 8 Mac apps that put Apple's default offerings to shame

Apple’s Macoperating system, known as macOS, comes with some pretty great built-in apps by default. The company regularly updates these apps and utilities to coincide with major OS updates, which occur once every fall. This year, for example, we got updates to Messages, Calculator, Calendar, and more, in the form ofmacOS Sequoia.

Boasting a next-generation P5 image processor with AI enhancement, changes to Ambilight - the LED lights on the back of the TV which help expand the image beyond the frame - and the adoption of DTS Play-Fi multiroom audio, there’s more to Philips 805 OLED TV than a mere numerical increment over its predecessor. We hauled the 55-inch version on the test bench to take a closer look. For those hankering for a few more inches, there’s also a 65-inch model available - and whichever of the two sizes you choose, both make everything look good, but there is a catch…...
