How to clean airpods safely?
You can use Micellar water . Place a small amount in a cup and then use a soft toothbrush with no dripping water on the brush to clean.

There are also small tools that can help aid in getting your AirPods clean. Hyashee makes a brush for cleaning AirPods. I would clean them when they get dirty. Clean the least you can while also making sure they stay clean.
Is there a way to get deleted messages back on iPhone?
“Deleted” messages are usually placed into the Deleted Messages folder for 30 days . Go to Messages, hit Edit, and hit Recover Deleted Messages. If it is after 30 days, some 3rd party software might be able to recover the messages, but if you have a phone before iOS 16, it cannot be done.
Frustrated. Why won't my Airpods connect to my MacBook?
Here are a few suggestions to get started troubleshooting:
1. Check that Bluetooth is on.
2. Check that a focus is not in play.
3. Check that the AirPods have a good battery.
4. Try connecting them to another device and see what they do.
5. Try forgetting your airpods in the bluetooth list.
6. Press the button on the AirPods case for 5 seconds and see if you have a blinking light.
Need help on how to screen record with my Android
Swipe down from the top of the screen (sometimes twice) and select Quick Settings, then go to Screen Record. My 3rd party app recommendations would be “recordyou” and “screencam."
How can I recover photos I accidentally deleted (iPhone)?
Google says they give you 60 days from the time of deletion. Go to your Google Photos app, then go to the Library and to Trash. If they do not show here, a recovery on the phone would need to take place using Google backup and recovery.
