Tired of the new rules, Carmina closed her Google Maps account — what pushed her over the edge?

It’s been months since Carmina last posted on her Google Maps. I started doing it just for fun, exploring new places to dine and travel, and sharing those spots with others. Back in 2017, I wasn’t even blogging yet. Over the years, I received numerous email updates about changes, but in September, the removal of followers on Google Maps felt particularly strange. There’s no point in complaining about it. I decided not to close my account, as it wasn’t an option, but I did delete all the photos I had contributed over the years. I have fond memories of seeing which photos were popular and had hoped to share them with you. It was surprising to see how many views my pictures had accumulated. While deleting them, I noticed that many restaurants and bakeries no longer exist, with some marked as unknown on the map. Most of my photos were from the pandemic period, a time when I could fully express myself and write about the food I enjoyed. Let's take a trip down memory lane with Carmina th...

Pro & Con’s from Phone Updates

 


Every once in awhile your phone will ask to be updated and there are some Pro and Con’s in having it done especially from any phone we have when we purchase our new phone we need to get comfortable in the new functions that is added in what we are not aware of its feature and the usage of each application.

The Pro is there are new added features in your phone just like what is offered in the new phones in the market for example my phone is a Samsung when there is a new phone on the market the same features are added on my phone from the last year generation.

How do you know when something is added on your phone there will be a letter “N” or a Dot in color Red to indicate there is something new added on your phone in each settings and application on your phone will show once you are exploring to see what are the new changes.

Example:

In this picture on the right side next to the light bulb there is a small red dot to indicate there is a new item added on your phone.


The new changes are added on your contact list which now has an Identification caller to protect yourself from people who are scamming and protects you from suspicious people trying to get a hold of you.

The camera also has a new feature when you plan to take a video there is Pro Video added and its feature shows in the screen shot.



There is a new feature for the mic for your phone something to learn to use as new things are being added to your phone.


You can now stabilizer your video which is cool no need to buy a handheld to do it for you and you can save money.


The Con is that you need to adjust yourself over again to the new features for those who are not the type to adapt to the new changes you will have a difficult time using your phone over again to the point you are too frustrated to the new changes.

This is one thing my mom always asked me to do for her when I am updating her phone she will ask me step by step what she need to learn from her new updates.

Sometimes when you update your software you cannot put it back how you are use to using your phone you need to learn over and over again until you understand how your phone works all over again.
