Here’s how to restore contacts on an iPhone from iCloud

Contacts are an important part of your iPhone, especially if you’re constantly making calls, sending emails, or texting friends and family. You may have one long contact list or one that has been meticulously organized and sorted to make navigation easier. Contacts are so integral to staying in touch with others that it is hard to imagine not having that convenient, easy-to-reach list of everyone you will ever need to reach out to.

In fact, it’s so convenient, few of us remember phone numbers or email addresses in our heads anymore. This isn’t usually an issue, but it can become a problem when a particular contact, or multiple contacts, are accidentally deleted or lost during the sync process, or when restoring from a backup. It’s an unfortunate situation to be in, but one that is easily rectified if you know how to recover lost contacts on an iPhone. Thankfully, you only need to use iCloud to do so.

To avoid losing your data and contacts follow our guide on how to backup an iPhone and how to use iCloud.

Recovering contacts using iCloud on your iPhone

If you’ve lost or deleted a contact by mistake, there is no reason to panic. Contacts are set to sync with iCloud by default. You can go to settings and turn them off and on again to let them sync to your iPhone again.

Step 1: Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud.

Step 2: Turn Contacts off and select Keep on My iPhone.

Step 3: Turn Contacts on and select Merge.

Wait a little while, and you should see the deleted contacts back on your iPhone.

Recovering contacts using iCloud.com

This is another trusted method for retrieving lost contact information — as well as other things like Reminders and Calendar events — and it comes directly from Apple. All you need is a computer, your Apple ID and password, and a bit of time.

Go to iCloud.com and sign in with your aforementioned Apple ID and password.
Once signed in, click the Settings icon.
Scroll down to the Advanced section and click Restore Contacts.
You will be shown a list of previously made archives. Find the date of an archive that should still have your contacts list intact and click Restore.
Click Restore again to confirm and begin the restoration process. Once it’s done, an email will be sent to the address tied to your Apple ID.

It should be noted that doing this will replace the contacts currently on your iPhone, as opposed to just adding the ones that are missing. If you added new contacts prior to this process, they will be lost. Thankfully, your current contacts list will be archived before the restore is applied, so you can retrieve them by following these same steps.

To do so, follow the first three steps of this article, but instead of choosing an archive from a previous date, pick the archive made the same day you performed your restoration. You can also do this if you accidentally restore your contacts using the wrong archive.

With Mosaic, you can redesign your Instagram grid without the commitment

App Attack is a weekly series where we search the App Store and Google Play Store for the best apps of the week. Check out App Attack every Sunday for the latest.

Social media profiles have become a reflection of who we are. Rather than posting random photos, most people strategize their content, even if it’s for their personal accounts. This week, we have an app that will make your Instagram grid — AKA where all your photos live — look as organized and well thought-out as those of all those influencers out there.

Mosaic, available for iOS and Android, uses artificial intelligence and image recognition algorithms to apply “smart themes” to your Instagram feed. Using the different themes, you can organize your photos and then preview how it will look on your feed before you officially post them. You can also manually edit specific photos straight through the app.

The app is simple to use and doesn’t require too much navigation. Once you download it, you’ll be able to search through your photos and pick which ones you want to use. You can then tap through the available filters to change the color of each photo simultaneously.

Within each theme, there’s a few customization options with a variety of different filters, depending on which one you choose. With the black and white theme, you’re able to pick from filters like “Neutral,” “Vintage,” and “Light.” There’s also the option to increase and decrease the intensity.

Once you’re satisfied with the filters, you can then preview how it will look on your Instagram feed. After logging into your account, your main feed will show up with the addition of the new photos you’ve chosen. Unfortunately, you can’t change the theme of the photos that already exist on your Instagram, unless you import them again through Mosaic.

If you want to edit a specific photo, you can do so by tapping on it and then selecting the pencil tool at the bottom. This will bring you to an array of editing tools ranging from lighting and saturation, to cropping, and more. Once you’re satisfied, you can tap the check mark in the right-hand corner and it’ll place the photo back to its spot.

While you can’t export the entire feed of photos, you can post them to your Instagram one by one through Mosaic. By tapping on the photo and then the Instagram camera icon within the menu, it’ll take you to your Instagram account. This is where you can post the photo to your feed or your Instagram stories. You can even share your photo to other social media platforms like Facebook and Whatsapp.

The same menu also gives you options like deleting a specific photo, or moving it around to a different spot. If there’s a photo you don’t want to move, you can lock it in place as well.

I do wish I could post all of the photos at once to my Instagram account, but this does mean that my followers’ feeds will be flooded with tons of photos — a move that’s looked down upon. But it’d still be nice to have the option for those who have a larger account and won’t lose any follows for posting an influx of photos.

As an Instagram user, I’m not one to overanalyze what I post. My photos are extremely random, whereas I’ve seen friends who will only post content that enhances their theme and aesthetic. As it becomes more popular to make your Instagram look presentable, Mosaic is definitely an app that helps you visualize the look you’d like to go for without committing to it.

While I don’t see publishers and social media influencers using the app, it’s perfect for those who aren’t used to keeping up with a theme or want to test out different options. It’s a great tool for learning how to get the hang of posting to a specific theme without sacrificing your entire theme.

Thanks to Instagram’s archive feature, it’s become acceptable to hide photos or even delete them. So if you want to start completely from scratch and start applying a new aesthetic, it’s an easy app to do so with. I also enjoyed being able to organize my photos and seeing which ones looked better next to each other — a detail I didn’t realize even made a difference. Let’s just say I started to view my Instagram feed more closely than I did before.

Mosaic is free to download but it comes with a set number of filters. You can also purchase each theme separately for $2, or unlock all of the themes for a subscription fee of $5 per month. This means that you’ll also have access to additional themes as they are added to the app.

Portrait Mode test: Can any smartphone beat the iPhone X?

With pictures being worth a thousand words, everyone loves to take photos and share them on social media for boasting purposes and validation from others. That instant validation, however, is few and far between when photos aren’t crisp or clear. Poor-quality photos shouldn’t be that big of an issue anymore, though, thanks to the inclusion of Portrait Mode on smartphones.

Mimicking the fast aperture lenses found on modern SLR cameras, this mode essentially blurs the background in photos while focusing on the foreground. Smartphones use software trickery to achieve this look in photos, and while this sounds like it couldn’t produce images that look as good as though captured with professional cameras, Portrait Mode is actually capable of producing stunning photographs.

TheUnlockr

Yet, while Portrait Mode is a great way to capture photographs, the technical aspect of the method varies from smartphone to smartphone. So, to truly know which smartphone is the best when it comes to capturing stills in Portrait Mode, we put four of the best phones through a series of photography-based tests.

The test itself isn’t that rigorous; four different sets of photos were taken using the iPhone X, Galaxy Note 8, Google Pixel 2XL, and the Mate 10 Pro. The results of the test however, are quite conclusive.

Each phone can capture excellent photos while Portrait Mode, but the iPhone X and Pixel 2XL separate themselves from the rest of the pack by consistently producing quality shots. In fact, the quality of the photos taken by the iPhone X and Pixel 2XL are so similar that’s it’s hard to tell the differences between the two because they are so subtle.

TheUnlockr

To find a clear-cut winner between the iPhone X and Pixel 2XL, we turned to social media. By posting four photos from the different tests and not specifying which smartphone took what photograph, Unlockr followers chimed in with their answers to which photo of the set was the best. Overwhelmingly, photos taken by the Pixel 2XL were hailed as the best, which means the Google phone’s Portrait Mode trumps the one on the iPhone X.

Again, this wasn’t a very scientific test, and is in large part based on personal preference. Plus, each smartphone used in our test managed to produce quality photos while in Portrait Mode. Nonetheless, the Pixel 2XL still stands out among its competitors.

Trump administration hopes to privatize ISS after 2024

If the US government plans to stop funding the International Space Station at the end of 2024, there’s a big question: what happens next? Hand the keys over to the private sector, apparently. The Washington Post has obtained a NASA document outlining a plan to privatize the ISS as part of a Trump administration budge request. The plan would request funding (starting with $150 million in fiscal 2019) to foster “commercial entities and capabilities” that could fill the ISS’ role, potentially including “certain elements or capabilities” of the station itself.

It’s not certain just how the privatization would work, although the US wouldn’t be in a rush to abandon the ISS. It would aim for a “smooth and uninterrupted transition” to private outfits, and would ask for plans from industry while preparing a handover plan.

This strategy could face plenty of opposition, however, and not just within the US. The ISS was created as a collaboration between multiple countries’ governments, including the American government. How would the US privatize even a portion of it when other countries are involved? And while both the White House and NASA’s new administrator clearly back privatization, politicians on both sides of the aisle may object to the decision as a waste of investment and a threat to the US’ economic and scientific influence. Senator Ted Cruz has already rejected the notion of cancelling funding so long as there’s “serious usable life ahead.”

And then there’s the very nature of the station. It was designed for science — just what would private companies do with it, especially if they don’t have the full run of the facility? The ISS only plays a bit part in SpaceX’s interplanetary aims, for example, and American companies might not relish the thought of turning the station into an expensive space hotel. If privatization works at all, it’ll likely require a clearer sense of who’s interested and what they can do.

The best espresso machine, grinder and accessories for beginners

By Cale Guthrie Weissman

This post was done in partnership with Wirecutter. When readers choose to buy Wirecutter’s independently chosen editorial picks, it may earn affiliate commissions that support its work. Read the full article here.

After putting in more than 60 hours of research, we enlisted a former barista, aided by Stumptown Coffee’s education crew, to test five espresso machines, four grinders, and a dozen accessories to find the best beginner’s espresso setup for less than $1,000. We recommend starting with the Breville Infuser espresso machine, because it makes pulling consistently great-tasting espresso shots easier and more approachable than the other machines we tested. It also comes with all of the accessories you need to get started.

Who this is for

This guide is for someone who likes good coffee and wants to take the time to learn more about the craft. Whether you’ve been making pour-over for years or simply enjoy going to your local coffee shop and learning different espresso tasting notes, our picks will give you a relatively affordable start in the world of espresso making.

How we picked and tested

To figure out just what was needed to make a cost-effective home espresso setup, we started by consulting eight coffee experts, ranging from baristas to roasters to industry entrepreneurs, and reading hundreds of articles, blog posts, and forums.

According to the experts, a semiautomatic, single-boiler machine is the way to go. The best espresso is made by forcing 195 ºF water through finely ground beans with about 10 bars of pressure. A semiautomatic machine heats the water precisely and uses a pump to create the right amount of pressure every time.

Single-boiler espresso machines use only one boiler for both the water for the espresso shot and the steam wand. This means they require some down time between pulling a shot and steaming milk, but they’re significantly less expensive than their double-boiler cousins.

We tested four machines from the perspective of someone unboxing and trying to get familiar for the first time. Each machine had at least an hour to wow us with its setup process, documentation, and ability to create consistently good espresso without too much tinkering. We scrutinized each machine’s portafilter, and used the steam wand to make a cappuccino. We also tested grinders, which are just as important to making good espresso as the machine itself, along with a range of accessories. To learn more about our testing process, please see our full guide to espresso gear.

The Breville Infuser was the best out of all the machines because of its superior performance for both espresso and milk steaming, ease of use, and the fact that it comes with all the accessories needed to get started. It made a consistently flavorful shot of espresso, and it was very easy to set up and use. The experts we consulted were even impressed with how easy it was to pull a decent shot with the Breville—high praise from a group of people experienced with $1,000+ machines!

Using the Infuser is a breeze, even if you’ve never touched an espresso machine before. It comes with a straightforward “how to get started making espresso” sheet, a removable water reservoir, preset options for single and double shots, and a manual mode for precision control. Although it didn’t make the absolute tastiest shot of espresso we tried, our testers were impressed with its consistency and pleasant mouthfeel. Every shot we pulled had a good amount of crema on top, as you’d expect from a high-end cafe. And the Breville’s steam wand was by far the best tested, though it does take a bit of time to heat up fully.

Espresso grinder

Buying a good grinder is just as important as buying a good espresso machine. If the coffee beans aren’t ground to consistent and uniformly sized particles, it doesn’t matter how good the machine is — the coffee will taste bad. Finding a machine that can accurately produce fine espresso grinds is difficult, and even the picks in our drip coffee grinders guide aren’t nuanced enough for a proper grind. You need a rig with burrs that are specially made to pulverize the coffee to a very fine grind of the exact right size, like the Rancilio Rocky, though acquiring such a grinder comes with a steep price tag.

In our tests, the Rocky was great at grinding beans consistently and was easy to adjust. To change the size of your grind from espresso to French press and back again, you simply move a knob on the hopper from left to right. We also liked that the grinder was relatively quiet compared with many of the others we tested.

Accessories

Knock box

A knock box is basically a small countertop trash can with a bar going across the top for you to hit your portafilter against to eject used grounds. We tested several competing designs and thought the Cafelat was the best. It has a sleek design with a removable bar for easy cleaning, and very few seams for gunk to collect in.

Cups

The real joy of espresso is in the drinking. Personally, I enjoy drinking espresso out of glass because it looks nice and feels modern. The Duralex Picardie—our top pick for drinking glasses—comes in a 3.1-ounce glass that’s perfect for espresso sipping, macchiatos, and cortados.

Tamper

When it comes to tamping your espresso, consistency is key. Thus, it’s helpful to own a tamper that you like. We found Rattleware’s tampers felt good in the hand and had a nice weight, though they’re a bit on the expensive side.

Frothing pitcher for lattes

If you want to make milk drinks, you’re going to need a frothing pitcher. Many look alike, but some are nicer than others. We prefer Rattleware’s pitchers, which are a bit sturdier and have a better finish than other models, but it really comes down to your personal preferences.

Government websites fall prey to cryptocurrency mining hijack

It’s not just private companies’ websites falling victim to cryptocurrency mining hijacks. Security consultant Scott Helme and the Register have discovered that intruders compromised over 4,200 sites with Coinhive’s notorious Monero miner, many of them government websites from around the world. This includes the US court info system, the UK’s National Health Service and Australian legislatures, among others. The intruders spread their JavaScript code by modifying an accessibility plugin for the blind, Texthelp’s Browsealoud, to inject the miner wherever Browsealoud was in use.

The mining only took place for several hours on February 11th before Texthelp disabled the plugin to investigate. Government sites like the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office also took pages down in response. As with most of these injections, your system wasn’t facing a security risk — you would have just noticed your system bogging down while searching for government info. The mining goes away the moment you visit another page or close the browser tab. The biggest hassle was for the site operators, who are now discovering that their sites are vulnerable to intruders slipping in rogue code without verification.

It’s not certain who’s behind the attempt, but these hijacks tend to be the work of criminals hoping to make a fast profit.

The big problem: this might continue to happen for a while. Although antivirus tools can catch Coinhive, a more definitive solution would be to use a fingerprinting technique (subresource integrity) that verifies of outside code and blocks any modifications. And there’s no indication that many websites, whether government or private, are in a rush to implement it.

Is Google working on an iMessage competitor?

Both iOS and Android have their strong suits, but one of the biggest selling points of Apple’s operating system is iMessage. The built-in message app allows users to seamlessly transition from their iPhones to Mac computers. There are plenty of third-party Android apps that provide similar features, but now there are rumors that Google may be developing its own.

Google has tried to compete with iMessage several times before. The company’s efforts have always fallen short, however. Perhaps this is due to the fact that Google has so many different messaging services, ranging from Android Messages to Google Hangouts.

However, Android Police found something interesting in its recent teardown of an upcoming Android Messages update. It looks like Google is working on a desktop version of Android Messages. Based on the reports, the desktop version of the app will work within a browser extension, though it looks like users won’t be limited solely to Chrome.

The project is currently going by the codename Ditto, but the launch title is expected to be “Messages for Web.” In order to make use of the service, users will simply use their Android phones to scan a QR code, which will then link their chosen laptop or desktop to their smartphone. This should allow users to carry their conversations between multiple their computers and smartphones.

Another upgrade that appears to be in the works is the ability for users to send texts over their Wi-Fi networks. This has long been a feature of iMessage and it looks like Android will be getting the same treatment in the future.

There is also evidence that Google is setting up a payment system to work within Android Messages. This feature looks to be a bit different than Google Wallet, which allows users to transfer money to friends and family. This new payment system will allow you to buy items from various companies within the Android Messages app.

Google has not made any official announcements regarding the future of Android Messages, so the above should be treated as informed speculation until Google officially confirms the existence of a web app for Android Messages.

Puls is an on-demand repair service for your smartphone and smart home

Can’t live with ’em, and can’t live without ’em. No, we’re not talking about the significant other in your life. Rather, we’re talking about the other relationship you’re more invested in than you may like to admit — that with your electronics, and specifically, your phone. Given that marriage therapist Winifred Reilly tells Digital Trends that 80 percent of folks under 24 sleep with their phones (61 percent of whom are single, no surprise), it’s safe to say that we’re a generation truly obsessed with tiny screens. And when those screens break, all hell breaks loose.

Luckily, a cracked device doesn’t have to be cause for panic — not with Puls.

Founded in 2015, Puls is a rapid-response services platform for a wide range of smart devices. The company offers in-home repair services for just about any smartphone you may have. In October, the company partnered with Google to expand its services for the Google Pixel and Pixel XL to cities across the U.S., and also added repairs for the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL smartphones.

“Puls has built a strong business around seamless, same-day, in-home repair and installation services for smart technology devices,” explained Eyal Ronen, CEO and co-founder of Puls. “We come to your home or office, in under an hour, and provide the service on the spot.”

While the company is based in San Francisco, it offers services throughout the major cities of the U.S., including Atlanta, Houston, Boston, Miami, Washington, D.C., and New York, just to name a few. By using proprietary technology, Puls promises to intelligently match and instantly dispatch the necessary repair person in order to address damaged mobile devices.

But that isn’t the only service in Puls’ wheelhouse. The company also offers smart home device setup as well as TV mounting, and help generally arrives at your front door in less than 60 minutes. As Ronen noted, “TVs are getting bigger, smarter, and cheaper every year, thanks to advances in screen technology and manufacturing processes. Such large screens must be carefully and securely mounted on the wall.” Puls technicians promise “fast, reliable, professional TV installation, so you don’t drop your new TV, or drill into your wiring.” 

And if your TV is a smart one, the company can help with that as well. Whether it’s setting up streaming features, connecting an audio system, or just figuring out how to get Alexa to talk to your new television set, the company can help.

Puls isn’t necessarily the only company that provides such services, however. For your phone repairs, there’s iCracked, which comes to your home or office to repair your smartphone or tablet. And there are a number of smartphone makers, including Samsung, that will offer the same convenience as well. That said, Puls seems to be one of the few companies that not only offers phone repairs, but a wide range of technical services as well. After all, if you’re smartphone-obsessed, chances are you have at least one smart home hub or other connected device in your home. 

The company has technicians with the right parts for each job available from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. local time, seven days a week, including holidays. Pricing is straightforward and can be found on the company website before you ever call a technician to your door, so you shouldn’t suffer from any sticker shock.

So if you’re in need of some on-demand repairs for your tech-savvy life, Puls may just be the service you’ve been waiting for. And to sweeten the deal, the company is offering customers a free tempered glass repair with the code “freeglass.”
