Photos: never lose a photo again

Back in Google I/O 2015 Google launched a new service. A service which would change my life! The service was a new gallery app simply called photos. An app which you all are now familiar with, it is an app which allows you to view, backup and organise all your photos and videos!
In this article, I am going to sort of giving you an overview on how to use and move to Google photos and why to use photos. So that you can also never run out of storage while snapping photos.
MOVING TO GOOGLE PHOTOS
Few tasks feel as daunting as transferring your entire photo library from one service to another. And few things feel worse than accidentally losing images or videos that you can’t replace. So as great as Google Photos might be, switching to it won’t be a small undertaking for everyone. The best and easiest way for me would be to use your pc. Copy all your photos onto your pc, then download a simple app called backup and sync on your PC or MAC. And just like that, you can upload all your photos to the google photos service!
Now that you have downloaded and set up the app you will face a question about the quality of the photos you want to upload. Uploading photos in their original quality are going to cost you precious storage. While opting for the high-quality option, will give you unlimited storage for your photos for the price of 0.
THE HELPFUL, AUTOMATIC ASSISTANT
Google has an assistant tab built into the app. This should really help out beginners, by sorting out images, helping you to set which folders to back up and free storage by deleting photos which have already been backed up from your device!
Then there is search
We all know Google collects our data. That data has been used to proper use in the app. The search feature is deadly accurate. Never have I required to type twice to get to the photo I was looking for.And the search results have only gotten better with time.
It even lets you create GIFs
Ever seen a Samsung Galaxy advertisement where they show how their phones can create gifs? Well, they are telling you lies! You can easily create gifs by stitching multiple photos from your library. Pro tip: use the burst mode on your camera app for the best result.
The miscellaneous
It even lets you create movies, collages and albums. It even makes them automatically! If that was not enough, it lets you share your creations with extreme control over who gets to do what with your photos. It lets you archive the photos which you want to hide and even lets you saturate the sky with the built-in photo editor.
All in all
Google Photos is a solid service by Google and is miles ahead of the competition and warrants your attention. It is a must-have!

Do we need Virtual Assistant?

It is something which I stress over and over again. I live in Bangladesh, a small country in Asia. So, it is only natural for tech companies to not think about us when launching new services. Virtual Assistants are taking over the world. Assistants like Google Assistant, Siri, Alexa and Cortana are said to be super helpful in your day to day life. YouTube reviewers adore them and recommend them for your smart home. What the reviewers don't take into account is that all those helpful assistants only properly work in the US. Here in Bangladesh, all these assistants can do is tell the weather and call or text contacts. These smart and intelligent assistants don't even understand our accents. Hence the second feature for call or texting is a hit and miss. Hence, I have uninstalled the Google app from my phone. I do not require to allow Google to spy on me, only so that assistant can tell me the weather. Google and other companies are in simple words ripping us off. We ...
