Third-party programs take up space on your phone, and many are redundant thanks to your phone’s built-in capabilities. Tap or click here for common apps you can delete right now.

Quick Response codes, better known as QR codes, are those pixelated squares you see in restaurants, advertisements, stores, food packaging, business cards, airline tickets – you name it. Some developers would lead you to believe you need to download their app to scan them. Spoiler: Your phone can do that with built-in features.

Follow the maze

QR codes were initially created to track automotive parts, but now they’re used for much more.

How many calories are in those fries? Where can you buy the outfit you see in an ad? How many miles can this car travel on a gallon of gas? A quick QR code scan can resolve all these questions and more. Think of this tech as a smart barcode.

QR codes existed long before smartphones, and your device can scan them right out of the box. Here’s how to use this helpful feature without third-party software.

Use your phone’s native capabilities to avoid malware

Third-party scanning apps are popular, making them prime delivery systems for malware. Hackers hide dangerous code in these helpful apps, which can steal your money, hijack your personal information, or even take over your device.

How to scan a QR code with your iPhone’s Camera app

• Your phone should recognize the QR code and give you a notification.

How to scan a QR code with your Android phone

What are Aztec prints?

 Referring to Coco Chanel as a fashion designer would be an understatement. The revolutionary creator, crafted a whole new meaning for clothes. She liberalized fashion from the constraints of corsets and allowed women to be comfortable and to love what they wore.  The Aztec (tribal) print is the only print that remained untouched by the legend.

And, anyone who questions the raging popularity of Aztec or tribal prints in the fashion industry needs to rename themselves as ‘fashion fools’. Because, this is what Coco Chanel has to say on Aztec prints or any other prints tbh-  “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” And this is exactly how the Aztecs embodied the idea and inculcated that in their clothing.
