How to use Apple's built-in and free password manager, iCloud Keychain

With new capabilities in iOS 15, macOS Monterey, and other 2021 software updates, Apple has improved its password management game. Previously, iCloud Keychain was a password manager in the background that would come up from time to time, generally to the user's surprise, to provide a strong password or autofill something. In a separate Settings box, it now searches for password breaches, warns about repeated passwords, and provides two-factor authentication (2FA) keys many business listings.

Many iPhone and Mac users rely on third-party password managers, not aware that Apple's is fully functional and, in some cases, more secure than some of the market's most popular solutions. Here's how to set up and use iCloud Keychain on your devices, as well as how to keep your passwords up to date.

ICloud Password Manager on iPhone

Apple designed the iCloud Keychain to be imperceptible when in use. A prompt will show in place of your keyboard if you're on a website or in an app that employs a properly designed password field.

If you've previously entered a user name or email address, an auto-suggested password will appear on the online form for the password. By default, this is a string of twenty characters that includes two dashes, upper and lower case letters, and a symbol. Accept the option and click "remember login" when prompted on the following box. You'll never have to remember that complicated password again.

This user name and password will be kept and linked to that app or website automatically. The password auto-fill will show instead of the keyboard on subsequent logins, and a Face ID or Touch ID prompt will confirm that you are the one inputting the password.

The new login information will sync over iCloud utilising end-to-end encryption, so you don't have to worry about unwanted users stealing your password in transit. Navigate to the passwords area of the Settings app to examine the passwords you've stored, check for any security warnings, or erase password business listings.

It's also possible to add two-factor authentication codes.

What is the best way to obtain a dedicated Passwords app icon?

Apple's iCloud Keychain doesn't have its own app, but the password manager is found in the Settings app. If you don't want to go to this page every time you need to manage your passwords, you can always make a custom Shortcut and add it to your Home Screen with a direct link.

Step 1 - Open Shortcuts

Step 2 - Tap the "+" in the top right corner

Step 3 - Name the action "Passwords"

Step 4 - Tap "add action" and search "URL" to add that action

Step 5 - Paste in "prefs:root=PASSWORDS" into the URL field

Step 6 - Search for "Open URL," add the action, and select "URL" in variables within the action

Step 7 - Add the Shortcut to the Home Screen using the settings icon in the top right corner

The new Passwords shortcut will display on your Home Screen when you select an icon or custom picture, providing you easy access to your passwords with a single press. You may simply instruct Siri to "display passwords" if you choose.

ICloud Password Manager on Mac

"Keychain Access," vintage software integrated into macOS, serves as a catch-all app for authentication certificates, passwords, and other security prompts. However, starting with macOS Monterey, the System Preferences app has a more user-friendly option.

It's not for the faint of heart to use Keychain Access. It defaults to the "Other" folder in the app launcher and displays password information in a list manner. While users may retrieve their passwords from here, we recommend utilising the "Passwords" option in System Preferences instead free business listings.

The Passwords feature, like its iOS counterpart, is a straightforward list of all stored websites, complete with login details and notifications for duplicate or compromised passwords. During normal use, you won't need to utilise the Passwords feature in System Preferences often. Instead, all websites should automatically fill in the password or provide secure passwords.

Setting up two-factor authentication

The option to auto-fill two-factor authentication codes has been added to Apple's iCloud Keychain. Users may trust on the built-in secure and reliable system rather than using a third-party programmer devoted to 2FA.

While creating a 2FA code might be a nuisance, it is one of the most secure features when done correctly. Some people may be familiar with 2FA because of the text message codes they receive when validating their phone number, however they are insecure.

Many websites and applications now use a method that produces codes using a time signature and a text key. This code refreshes every thirty seconds in the Password tool, which users may view.

If the website is programmed to give a 2FA key to a password manager, this can be done automatically, but otherwise, users will have to manually set up the code.

To use iCloud Keychain for 2FA on iOS and macOS, follow these steps:

Steps 1 - Open the passwords tool

Step 2 - Select the login you're adding 2FA to

Step 3 - Select "Set Up Verification Code"

Step 4 - Select "Enter Setup Key" if you have a string of text

Step 5 - Otherwise scan the QR code on iPhone or right click the code on Mac

Step 6 - Enter the key on the website to verify it has been setup properly

On websites that have been properly developed for this system, the 2FA key will show above the keyboard, much like passwords. Otherwise, users will have to go to the Passwords tool and manually copy and paste the code.

On the Mac, iPad, and iPhone, there's more than Keychain

Although Apple's iCloud Keychain isn't the only choice, it may be the best for most people. Edge situations and commercial uses for password managers are not covered by the built-in solution.

Apple's version of a Windows programmer and a Chrome extension for passwords is included in the iCloud Keychain, so you're not limited into a single environment.

Although some password managers are free and cross-platform, they generally need the use of a specific browser or add-on. For those seeking for a password manager that isn't part of Apple's ecosystem, Google's password manager is a great alternative.

If iCloud Keychain doesn't meet your needs, there are a number of commercial alternatives available. For corporations or groups who need to share a centralized set of passwords, 1Password is a popular option.

For a casual user or family member, though, we'll always recommend iCloud Keychain first because of its ease and accessibility.

evolution of record label demands to artists

evolution of record label demands to artists to sign a deal and its effect on artists in the present

Firstly, after having the opportunity to examine carefully different aspects related to the recorded music side of the music industry, the present essay aims to analyze the position of record labels - notably major ones- nowadays with regards to their demands to artists in conjunction with the evolution of the music business caused mainly by the internet and the digital revolution which has democratized the way music is presented to the audiences and the way the role of the audience has also changed. At the same time, we would also like to put light into how the other sign of this coin affects artists nowadays, with special regard to the effect on emerging artists and the new requests for the established ones.

With no further ado, let’s deep ourselves into the evolution of the music industry, and by extension, of the position of record labels in terms of their relationship with artists by looking into different aspects into which the internet and digital have had an impact. To that respect, it must be said that, succinctly, in the last decades, the internet revolution has totally changed the way music is created and consumed. That’s why, while the consumer-based power emerges, the music industry has had to find a way to recalibrate and put themselves out, also in their demands to do so. For example, many promotional practices in the music industry that were useful in the past are now no longer effective, like radio airplay versus landing on the right DSP playlist that can get the artists the best visibility and exposure needed to be successful.

Fundamentally digital service providers (also known as “DSPs”) such as Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube have paved the way for consumers to discover new ways to listen music not subject to the media-curated filter of music they want to highlight of the major label supported advertising. At the same time, artists have also found spots to become their own bosses and entrepreneurs of their project.

However, not only DSPs, but social networks have also a say in all of this, because, while streaming services still work as tools to discover new artists, social networks have also influenced the music industry. On the one hand, Instagram has been a platform which has changed music discovery for music and visuals. The choices made by artists when promoting and posing music in this platform look for instant gratification, which requires to a visual fast captivating content, so audiences engage with it and then, as a next step, listen to the music.

On the other hand, TikTok has been the most recent revolutionary player to enter the game. In that sense, […] “the industry's attention on TikTok isn't unfounded. Songs that trend on TikTok often end up charting on the Billboard 100 or Spotify Viral 50. And 67% of the app's users are more likely to seek out songs on music-streaming services after hearing them on TikTok, according to a November 2021 study conducted for TikTok by the music-analytics company MRC Data.[1] On top of that, "<<Record labels would decide who to sign, then they'd market them, send them to radio, put the CDs on the shelves and you'd discover music from there. And now, I feel like the music industry is just increasingly reactive to fans' discoveries. So the equation has flipped, which is fascinating.>> […] <<Fans on TikTok are connecting with artistry in a different way. When they find music they resonate with, they root for these artists, and then it propels it forward and it has offline success>>”.

Furthermore, “Platforms like TikTok and Twitch allow you to experiment and get feedback in real time. Singers like SZA and PinkPantheress have found a success by uploading demos and unfinished songs, then putting their full resources behind the ones their fans seem to connect with the most. It's a strategy that plays directly into TikTok's creator community, says Gleeson.”[2]

To that effect, here we can see some stats regarding TikTok and music discovery:

Along with it is important to emphasize that social media has impacted in the attention spans of the audiences, which have shortened at unprecedented levels. Considering that: “It cannot be denied that modern technology and the Internet have made it incredibly simple for even a bedroom musician to release their music to a global audience, but this comes with the flipside that the audience is now inundated with a flood of music and choices. The result of this is that an average listener simply will not spend time listening to an entire album or even a six-minute song to make their decision about an artist. Platforms like TikTok, Instagram Stories, and Reels, with their 10-15 second limits, have further popularized the need for cramming as much attention-grabbing content as possible within the first minute of a song. Musicians have been relegated to content creators, who must churn out catchy material continuously to stay relevant.”[3]

However, after exposing all the data regarding the influence of internet in the music industry and the changes provoked by it, if we move forward to how the digital revolution has influenced the position of artists in this equation reports indicate that “musicians only gained 12% of $43 billion generated in the industry of 2017. This alarming statistic proves that while the industry is still a profitable enterprise, its protagonists, the musicians who actively produce that richness, are left as starving artists This fact is reiterated by the statistics of how much money musicians make on the biggest music platform of our time – Spotify. To earn a decent income, an artist needs roughly 120.000 streams consistently per month, and that is considering he/she is the only rights holder of the track, which is seldom the case.”[4] Additionally, regarding the live music side of the business, a lot of established and emerging artists are also struggling to sell out their shows, because of the price increase in the last few years, because of many factors, including the pandemic, and for more emerging artists, the idea of touring is not worth the investment.

So, focusing on the subject matter of this paper, all this is translated into record labels being more demanding in their exigences to sign artists. First off, they require that the artist is already a jack of all trades. In the past, deals offered by record labels to emerging artists demanded to only be responsible of doing the music, all the other things related to their career were handled by them. While this could lead to abusive deals from record labels, the balance has now flipped to the other side completely, where musicians, to get their music to the audience, have to look for strategies that distract them from their craft. Otherwise, they will not get noticed by audiences nor record labels. So, “the line between being a musician, a businessperson, and a salesperson have become largely blurred, which might suit some with the inclination for it, but proves to be a shortcoming for many musicians.”[5]

Withal, advances offered by record labels now can be more attractive, but the demands also imply creating music instantly, with no margin for error, resulting in record labels having no patience with the artist to find its own way into success in the industry. All this also relates to the fact that record labels in the past where more patient with high-potential artists, giving them time to grow, experiment and even fail in their attempts. In fact, some years ago, “A record label would sign an act for three or four releases (sometimes less, sometimes more), and during the amount of time needed to produce and publish those records, an artist had the opportunity to mature.”[6]

For instance, Bruce Springsteen case with Columbia Records. At first, “label executives faced the question of how to package Springsteen as an artist. On some level, it seemed simple: Market him as a singer-songwriter, like James Taylor, Jackson Browne and Joni Mitchell — all then thriving. […]  Then the album flopped. But Columbia could afford to be patient. Those were the glory days of the music business, which sold 1 billion records in 1974. It was standard practice to support budding artists, including subsidizing national tours as a means of selling records. Concert tickets would go for about the price of a long-playing album; the idea was to generate excitement that would lead to radio airplay, and, ultimately, profits. […] The label’s new president, Walter Yetnikoff, wanted to drop Springsteen — prompting a junior executive to swear at him. Columbia decided to advance Springsteen enough money to record a hit single and see if he could rise to the occasion. After six months of work — and driving everyone around him crazy in the process — Springsteen answered emphatically, yes, he could rise to the occasion with “Born to Run.”[7]

In short, the industry now demands a finished product to sign a deal with, yet “New young stars, sometimes even teenagers, rise almost daily, offering some perfectly polished tracks that cost them (or their parents) thousands of dollars. They have no time to work on themselves and their music, to hit the road and make some life experiences to feed their art: they need to start making money quickly to return on the investment initially made.”

It must be highlighted that still in the present, there’s a lot of players in the music industry continue raising their hand to reiterate that, in their opinion, contracts are still not on point, but not only for emerging artists, also for established ones: “Behind so many of the world’s most successful and beloved musicians is often a terrible contract. For decades, the music industry has found ways to squeeze as much profit from artists and songwriters as possible, and while awareness of these practices has grown, exploitative deals remain practically an industry standard.”[8]

On a different note, the reaction of artists to those demands of the record labels has been translated into increasingly more and more musicians releasing their own music. That is the case of Lauren-Spencer Smith, who got to be in the to five of the UK singles charts, after going viral on TikTok. “Much like Olivia Rodrigo's Driver��s License, which was released this time last year, Smith's song is a mournful lament for the end of a relationship that went viral on TikTok before crossing over to mainstream success. But there's one crucial difference: While Rodrigo is signed to the world's biggest record label, Universal Music, Smith has no record deal at all. Instead, her music is distributed by a US service called TuneCore, which puts her songs onto services like Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube for a flat fee. Smith retains ownership of her master recordings and gets 100% of the royalties when her songs are streamed.”[9]

Even though they still do not pose a real threat to major record labels, whose requirements are usually more stringent “It's no secret that major labels are being outpaced by the independent sector. In 2020, indie labels and self-releasing artists saw their revenues grow by 27%, compared to an overall market growth of 7%. In the UK, the sector represents 26% of the market, a figure that's grown by an average of 1% every year since 2017. Globally, the indies' share of the music market is at an all-time high of 43.1% - worth a not-too-shabby $9.8bn (£7.19bn), according to MIDiA Research.”[10] However, this does not imply independent record labels should pay attention to this situation.

In conclusion, even though labels, and particularly major record labels still control the majority of the market and have created their own “label service” companies, similar to independent record labels, offering global, despite being more limited, resources to musicians and artists, which could lead them to find this challenge not a real challenge, it is important to keep in mind that the music industry moves really fast.

Along with that, new technologies that are and will be coming along, the advance of the power and supremacy of social networks and the above-mentioned consumer/audience-centered plans for artists when signed to a label could lead to a potential backlash for record labels, especially majors, in a short to mid-term. It would not be the first time the music industry does not react or starts looking one step further, which then causes sudden changes in a short timeframe and lots of convulsion.

Therefore, the proposed improvement for fairer requirements by record labels and an improvement of conditions in the industry, albeit it may seem common or logical would be for the key players of the industry such as record labels are to put their head up and look to what can happen to get a head start and propose more innovative solutions. To put it in a nutshell, this way, they would make the impact and subsequent evolution of them music industry more natural, fairer and, to put nutshell, better. It’s an exercise of finding a middle ground between artists and record labels, where both can be benefited.

Moreover, and to end up, to be more precise of where to start taking the aforementioned little steps into the future of the music industry within the technological revolution, one of one of the suggested solutions by the writer of this essay, and in connection to one of the challenges posed to the music publishing industry, would be to take hints, references, and practices of the relationships some artists are building with their fans in the metaverse. Using the fan or consumer-based experience, artists are shaping new ways to collect royalties, to make money out of their craft and passion, which is the main goal of most professional musicians. Record labels could help and boost those kinds of practices, even if adapted to their way of doing business and their responsibilities, to put the music industry where it has not been before and help artists along the way.

Best Laptops Buying Guide 2024:Which One is best ?

Laptops Buying Guide Before laptops buying guide, decide on Windows, Mac, or something new. Beyond OS, there are other factors. Does it have your desired screen? Support peripheral ports? Play 1080p+ games? Consider these and other difficulties.

Risks and warnings for 2023 are here. Microsoft Windows 11 and Chrome OS provide more alternatives than MacBooks. See best laptops buying guide brands and read on to select one.

Mac, Windows, or another? Prioritize your OS. Apple and Windows won that struggle, but Chrome OS on cheap PCs is gaining ground.

These devices have similar hardware and functionality but significant variances.

The OS-based PC market is varied. Millions of companies create them, and the designs and names vary in both cost and craftsmanship. Several companies use Windows-based personal computers over enjoyment or business, and they tend to outshine Macs.

Windows computer systems vary in size. Clamshell keyboard-mouse computer systems like the Samsung Surface Laptops are prominent. The lower end Windows interactive laptops without a Track Bar, compared to Apple MacBooks.

The company Surface’s convertible display as well as tablet-keyboard combine harder. Google won’t make an adjustable or retractable MacBook, so its iPad Pro laptop with its magical keyboard is 2-in-1.

Microsoft Windows adapts better than macOS. The gaming and commercial programming standard extends software libraries. Windows gets substantial upgrades with new features biannually, unlike macOS. Chrome OS gets minor updates more regularly due to its loose release schedule.

Windows laptops provide more options than Apple Many Lenovo, Dell, and Microsoft devices exist For trademark protection, Apple has consistently upgraded its products, including MacOS. Apple devices meet its standards, but any manufacturer may produce a Windows or Chrome OS PC with unique features. MacOS are straightforward and trustworthy. Apple’s support staff can swiftly handle issues since they share an ecosystem.

Quality design differentiates Macs. Because they look, feel, and have fantastic screens, particularly with plenty of storage, they cost more than Windows and Chrome OS devices. Very few Apple computers are inexpensive.

Apple computers feature powerful hardware but slower graphics processors than Windows PCs, and you can’t replace parts, so you’re stuck with the specifications you buy. For individuals who want a powerful computer but don’t know much about hardware, their Mac may work well every day. When Apple upgraded to in-house CPUs in late 2020 and 2021, its hardware improved considerably. Macbooks like the MacBook Pro 14 with M2 Max are fast and cheap. The MacBook Pro is better currently for performance and battery life.

The corporation’s simple, intuitive the macOS operating system maintains its design. The platform in question has solid productivity and media-editing apps, unlike Windows. The company Studio Laptop Workshop’s unique designs and graphic pen rival the corporation’s success among designers and artists.

Computers don’t have touchscreens, but Sidecar mode lets you utilize an iPad as a wireless touchscreen.

Chrome OS Mac computers and Windows differ in Chrome OS. The Chrome-based platform was initially concentrated on applications for the internet and pricing. Chrome OS features desktop as well as mobile applications like competitors.

The Google Chrome operating system operates Chromebook. These machines are inexpensive than desktops running Windows and MacBooks due to reduced technology desires. They work well for schools and social media and shopping laptop users.

Powerful Chromebooks like the HP Dragonfly Pro mimic Windows and macOS computers. Both the HP Chromebook x360 14 and Lenovo Duet 5 with OLED displays are two-in-1s.

Chrome OS is faster and more flexible. Although web-centric, the platform now supports Google Play and Android applications, making it the perfect laptop companion for Android users. Chromebook users may converse without phones using its Message-like interface.

Chrome OS runs Linux desktop apps like GIMP and Steam. Linux support is in beta, and the library is less varied than Windows or macOS. Chrome OS’s maturity makes it a strong Windows competitor.

If Chrome OS fulfills your laptop needs, a Chromebook may save money.

Laptop kinds Several laptop categories target certain customers. Choose a laptops buying guide -friendly category. Some of favorites fall under these categories.

Ultrabooks Intel coined the term “ultrabook” for lightweight, long-lasting laptops. Intel Core CPUs, SSDs, and well-designed clamshells. People called any little laptop a “ultrabook” after this renowned device.

Business laptops Business laptops include consumer-friendly features despite targeting professionals. Though less popular, they have better batteries and skins.

High cost is corporate computers’ major drawback. Video editors and photographers benefit from bigger monitors and realistic color. Protecting privacy and security makes them more likely to provide biometric validation and professional software.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 is a great business laptop addition. Preferred work laptop is ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 5.

Gaming laptops Gaming laptops must improve. For current games, elite models have powerful CPUs, graphics chips, and RAM. Anything less may make popular games unusable.

Better desktop-like components and bigger displays make high-end gaming laptops heavier. 4K monitors’ power-hungry components deplete batteries. Some of best gaming laptops provide stealth or middle ground.

Gaming has advanced with display technology in this industry. In 2023, the Asus Zephyrus M16 launched mini-LED, and gaming laptops now had OLED for brilliant colors and deep blacks. Gaming laptops include 240Hz and 480Hz displays. Increased refresh rates and components provide smooth, high-speed gaming.

The LGBTQIA+ Collective deserves more than being hidden and obscured.

While a bit of old news let's talk about this: A friend of mine passed me this link (read the articile it is actually really good) a couple of days ago and we landed on the same conclusion: How lame it is to see Epic half assing this.

Pride is a ceebration but also a rallying event to demand basic human rights for a collective and as such corporations shouldn't half ass their "support" by hiding any references to the LGBTQIA+, it is such a retrograde move that hurts the collective a lot, more than they think as it empowers the alt-right.

Epic's message is clear: they aren't willing to commit, they just want to cash in... Which is a horrible way to celebrate the diversity of their fanbase. It says a lot of the company's (not talking about employees, more on that bellow) stance on basic human rights: they don't care enough to commit. Epic decision to obscure and hide the collective is tactless in an era in which LGBTQIA people are harrassed and stripped off their rights. This decision most likely has nothing to do with the people in the company which are employees, this kind of stuff is usually a decision made at the executive levels, I don't think most Epic employees would agree this was a good celebration of the LGBTQIA community.

With all this said it comes as no surprise after the poor handling of 2021's Rainbow Royale:

I stopped doing Fanart of the game around that time and later I uninstalled both Fortnite and the Epic Store app from my computer mostly because of the CEO's lax moral compass which allows him to side with transphobes just because they were briefly against Apple (FWIW I don't own Apple products nor do I care about 'em)

Pro PR tip: You never, ever side with book burning, homo/transphobes, alt-righters.

And lemme be clear: I'm not saying Sweeney is a homo/transphobe, I'm saying I can't see eye to eye with a person who is willing to put his beliefs in human rights topics on pause to side with a transphobe. The fact that he is more willing to be vocal about his fight against Apple, to defend Elon Musk and Twitter blue and on the other side actually being OK with hiding and obscuring the very community they are supposedly celebrating with Rainbow Royale tells me I don't want to use his store and products, at all.

And it is ironic that he has the nerve to say this:

I'm not saying you should cancel Epic or its CEO, stop doing fanart or uninstall anything from your computer/console, I made that decision for myself and I'm no one to tell you what you do. You do you without remorse (as long as you don't harm anyone around you).

What I'm saying is: Epic do better dammit. Epic's history with the LGBTQIA is one of employees doing their damn best trying to celebrate a collective they actually care for but marred by stupidly short sighted executive decisions that affect a collective which has in recent years seen how they rights are stripped from them via brute force and are suffering constant harrasment and attacks from the alt-right. TL;DR if you are a company or corporation you aren't forced to celebrate Pride, but if you are going to do it, DON'T FUCKING HALF ASS IT, the LGBTQIA collective deserves more than being hidden and obscured. This is your reminder that... 1) Corporations aren't your friends 2) You shouldn't form parasocial relationships with 'em 3) Vote with your wallet 4) There's no ethical consumption under capitalism

What You Need To Know About TikTok Marketing As A Content Creator

If you're still unsure whether or not you should create a TikTok account to promote your business or a content creator account, then I’m here to tell you that you really should. I mean if you don’t have an account until now then what are you doing with your business? It’s the age of social media and you should adapt to it one way or another

As we all know (excluding you, ‘cause you know why), TikTok is the fastest-growing social media platform that statisticians have seen thus far. It had 1 billion users in September 2021, with a record of four years since its worldwide launch. As a comparison, it took eight years for both Facebook and Instagram to hit that number.

In the first quarter of 2021, it was the most downloaded app and the highest-grossing non-game app in both the Apple and Google Play stores. This year, it has over 1.677 billion users globally, and 1.1 billion of those are active users monthly as of 2023

So if you’re convinced now, let’s dig into what TikTok marketing is, and how to create your own TikTok business/creator account.

What is TikTok marketing?

TikTok marketing is the action of TikTok usage and its content in promoting your brand and its products or services. You can easily build your online presence through the use of short-form video content that engages your audience and helps show off your business offerings or content creation.

TikTok marketing focuses just on TikTok while social media marketing creates a cohesive strategy for all social media platforms. You’ll want to ensure that the overall messaging on TikTok is similar to all other platforms your brand has a presence on. As most creators do, TikTok content is way different than the ones you’ll publish on other channels. (Though you may end up reusing your TikTok videos for your reels on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube Shorts to get more viewers.)

How to create a TikTok business account

Before you create a business account on TikTok, you have to know the difference between a TikTok business and a creator account.

Here are some of the main differences:

Business accounts get access to business tools like ads and analytics

Business accounts get limited access to sound clips.

Business accounts get the ability to create an e-commerce storefront.

Business accounts can use third-party tools to schedule and manage TikTok content.

Business accounts can add a website link to their profile.

TikTok business accounts don’t have access to the full sound library, but the additional tools far outweigh that.

So these are the steps to create your TikTok business and/or creator account: 

 Download the TikTok app and create a new account

Go to your TikTok profile and tap the hamburger menu in the top right corner

Tap Settings and privacy

Tap Manage account

Tap Switch to Business Account (if you want to have a business account)

Choose the category that best corresponds with your business type

You now have a business profile and can get started optimizing your account to appeal to your target audience.

Be A Content Creator And Earn Up To 80%!

By joining OnlyGirlsAsia,, you can earn up to 80% or more with your exclusive daily content. You can promote your account and get your first subscribers to engage with you via messages, live streams, or pay-to-view content. Get verified as a creator in 15 minutes or less if you sign up now!

Mobile applications are being developed for various purposes, ranging from communication and entertainment to e-commerce and business. The rapid growth of mobile app development has created a need for more efficient and intelligent ways of developing applications, which is where artificial intelligence (AI) comes into play.
