Accessories A tip on how NOT to get ads during playing some games.

OK, here's a solution to stop those annoying ads from overtaking your gaming pleasure, especially when you're about to touch an area, then just as you touch it a full screen ad appears and you accidentally start the play store to download it, this is NOT acceptable, this tip only works with offline games, online games need the internet to play, but offline games only need the internet to flood you with ads, so, you can either disable mobile data and WiFi, or go to Google play store, download and install 'NO root firewall', start it and allow the permissions, then when you touch the 'start' button, it'll ask you if it's allowed to create a local VPN connection, don't worry, it's not a VPN as we all know such as most of the online VPN's, etc etc, but it's similar to how a loopback works, when the game requests internet access the firewall will stop it, and thus prevent the ads from appearing,,,,now, don't forget, some games have the ads built in, and other have to connect to the internet to fetch and display them, but if they can't get the ads, then they can't be displayed.

I use No root firewall for most of my games I play on my tablet and I don't get one ad, now, unless you disable notifications for the firewall, you'l get annoying bleeps etc etc from the firewall saying '????? wants internet access', so it would be better to disable all notifications from the firewall, but REMEMBER to open the firewall app, then touch the 'STOP' button to allow the rest of the device internet access.

QUESTION ABOUT INSTAGRAM

Surfing the internet I read an article on a website. In the article there was an Instagram video with several icons (likes, comments...) and also a strange icon ( I attach a photo taken from the web as example,but the situation is the same)
From the left:there is the like icon (heart),comments and then....? What does that symbol means (the arrow pointing up)?
I tried to click on it but nothing happens, if I click on the other icons it redirects me to instagram (ex: if I click on the like icon I get the message "log in to instagram to like", the input occurs). I repeat that I was on another site, I read an article with this video and this icon. What does it means? Did I accidentally share something ?

That is the share icon, it look different on Android though. The photo looks like Instagram on iOS.

Internal memory nearly full

The first thing to do is to identify what is actually using the space. Without knowing that any changes you make may be missing the problem completely.
Can you post some screenshots of what the system storage menu says? It's important to know that a user-installed file manager won't be able to show you anything about the private data of apps; my advice would be to see whether the "app manager", as I believe Samsung call the "apps" section of the system settings, can show you your apps ordered by size (some can, some can't. If you can't see the option look for a 3-dot menu icon and see whether it's there). If you can identify which are the big space users you'll know where to start: simply clearing caches of browsers or social media apps can sometimes free up GB of space, and if you are going to uninstall apps (a more permanent solution) then knowing which ones are worth uninstalling is important.

Those of us who don't have this device might also like to know how much storage it has in the first place. If it's an 8GB device you'll probably always struggle with storage (at least half of that will be used by the OS, so you'll only have a few GB in total even after a reset).

As an aside, ES have had a lot of privacy and data protection issues. They wouldn't be my first, or even thirty-first, choice of file manager.

Help WhatsApp won't prompt for chat restoration from local backup

Incredibly, this worked! In part because I had to first construct an adapter for the nanoSIM, in part because I never imagined this might be a device-specific issue, it never occurred to me that there might be a workaround path utilizing the old S4, the new nanoSIM, and Google Drive. To my knowledge, no one else on the web came up with this idea either. I cannot thank you enough.
