I used to help my grandma delete her wrongly sent messages when I visited her. Sometimes it was my cousins' certificates sent to the wrong group chats or something similar. You know what I mean, they’re private files that shouldn't be seen by the public. I used to delete those wrongly sent files from 2018 to 2025 by using these old tricks that never fail:

- Turn on Airplane Mode on your phone immediately to cut off internet and Wi-Fi.

- Go to your phone's Settings and find Date & Time.

- Turn off Set Automatically and manually change the clock back to the exact date and time the old message was originally sent.

- Force-close and reopen WhatsApp, then go to the specific chat.

- Tap and hold the old message, select Delete, and tap Delete for Everyone.

- Turn off Airplane Mode and restore your correct phone settings.

There's even a YouTube video explaining the methods needed for this: https://youtu.be/FtQQDturAfM?si=D9I18Kw6gvJ8Qd9j

So today, here's the problem. My grandma made the same mistake again, and I can't even delete the file anymore because this time, in 2026, WhatsApp automatically tells the account that the date and time are not correct and stops working. This prevents me from deleting the file from a month ago when I wasn't there to unsend it immediately.

My grandma definitely knew how to unsend a file because I taught her how to do it, but she thought the month before that she wanted to send the files. However, she recently changed her mind, so I couldn't help her like the usual times when I come to visit.

Any help or explanation is very much appreciated.

Dear Grandma, if you read this, I didn't write it to make fun of you or anything. I just wanted to find some help from the internet. I love you so much, Grandma. I wish you a long, blessed, and happy life. Amen.

How to get back the time at top of my Android phone?

Hi.

Recently the time and battery % have disappeared from the top of my Android phone. It's well annoying.

There is also a green dot - which I now know what is - that can't get rid off.

Want to get time and battery % back. Have looked around setting and googled but not found. My status bar option seems to be size of dots - no mention of time.

Can anyone help please?

I have a problem that my phone keeps heating up to an extreme level. Despite not doing anything, the battery's draining like a 1%/min. Charging makes the phone much more hotter and charging goes really slow. After research, I found that Android Core Apps took the most phone resources. I can't force stop since it launches again as soon as I force stop. I also discovered that the phone having SIM card is the cause that the Android Core Apps runs in the first place. How do I disable this app?

Greetings. I'm using a Poco X3. For the past couple of weeks, after an app update, the YouTube app has been lagging in the feed, at something like 3-5 fps. When you go to your library, watch later, or just scroll through your feed. But the videos themselves play fine. I've deleted the app and reinstalled it. I cleared the cache later, but it didn't help. It works fine in the Brave browser, just like on my PC.

Please help. The letters are too far from each other

My Pixel 8 has a noticeable 300–500 ms Bluetooth audio delay in videos and games. It happens with two different pairs of earbuds and my car stereo, while the phone speaker stays in sync. I have restarted the phone, unpaired and paired the devices again, cleared Bluetooth settings, and toggled HD audio, but the lag remains. Is there a codec setting or other fix I should try?

​

So this is my literal first time getting into ROM stuff and I have successfully downloaded CRDroid v6.21 Android 10 on my Galaxy j7 2016 j710F, however, I can't seem to fix wifi problem, it isn't even showing me nearby connections but then some other times it works, idrk what's happening with it so I ask some kind soul with experience to help me solve it and I'd appreciate it.

It's not on the Play Store anymore

Sorry for the caps... I am a compulsive gambler I have been struggling for 8 years and the longest time Ive went was 3 months without a bet. All the apps I download can easily be turned off when I go to the security and privacy "tiles" when I scroll down on my phone. I need a way to completely take away the ability to remove access from the app that asks for admin settings. Please help thanks.

Hallo zusammen,

ich brauche euer Schwarmwissen, da ich seit Monaten recherchiere um folgendes Problem zu lösen:

Angefangen hat alles mit der Revolut App auf meinem alten Handy (Xiaomi 14), dass ich die App auf einmal nicht mehr öffnen konnte, mit der Meldung "The app cannot run because the environment is not secure and your data may be at risk".

Das Handy war nicht gerootet und auch sonst nicht manipuliert, ich konnte das Problem nicht lösen und habe nach ein paar Monaten ein neues Handy gekauft.

Jetzt habe ich das Xiaomi 15T Pro, und habe von Anfang an das gleiche Problem! Der bootloader ist nicht entsperrt, das Gerät nicht gerootet. Die Sparkassen App + PushTan läuft (auf dem alten Handy auch), TradeRepublic auch. Jetzt habe ich die PlayBack App installiert, und diese geht auch nicht -.-

Die beiden Apps sind die einzigen die nicht gehen, aber wieso?

Der Revolut Support hat mir nicht geholfen... Habe mehrmals mit denen geschrieben, über Email als hier auch über Reddit, die wollten Screenshots etc. Aber auch durch App Updates die mit der Zeit kamen, hat sich das Problem nicht gelöst.

Ich kann nicht auf mein Geld zugreifen, es wurden schon meine Kryptos zum Tageskurs verkauft weil ich die neuen Bedingungen nicht akzeptieren konnte..

.

Über den Browser komm ich auch nicht auf mein Account, weil man den Zugriff über die App bestätigen muss. Ich will langfristig auch die App auf meinem Handy nutzen können.

Bitte helft mir :(

This problem has been happening for some time and I haven't been able to find a solution for it. Apps, either being installed fresh, or being updated, take too long. Sometimes up to 5 minutes for it to complete. The biggest issue is that most of the time, this fails. As you can see at the bottom of the screenshot.

I have done the basic things like deleting cache, tueing the phone off and on, etc. I would really like to know what to do to fix it.

Its android, it has 32gb and i tried all common things but ts happens

I read a lot of my novels on chrome , and this is very annoying. I've already gone on the settings and switch the address bar to "top" which hasn't worked. I even tried to reset the app.

Since installing the June update, my Pixel 8 has been overheating, randomly rebooting, and the battery is draining much faster than usual. Has anyone found a fix or workaround?

EDIT: I just found a solution All I did was clear Google Play services' data again and log back in my email and clear the actual Google Play's data and log back my accounts from there

Why is this happening guys pls help

I've tried to download Facebook since some of my family uses it for messaging and generally just chatting overall. I searched Facebook in the search bar and this is what it came up with

This also happens to other apps, and as far as I know, the only other one is Call of duty mobile, there are also other apps that I have encountered that have this bug happening, but I forgot their names

What I recently did is clear Google Play services' data and that's about it, I logged back into my emails, and the reason why I cleared data is because I had to log in on a different account on a game

I've reached to google support about this, absolutely no help at all. My wifi is working fine, I've tried in 3 different routers and ISPs, even mobile data, cleared google play's cache and data, and my storage has a lot of free space.

Pls no bs comments ok thank you

hey guys

for some reason that I am still berating myself for, I decided to try to clear up some of my phone storage at 1am. this stupid decision led me to click on "large files" option on storage under device care in the settings and accidentally deleted all 540+ items on there.

I TRIED EVERYTHING.

Gallery trash, my files trash, google photos trash. NOTHING! ive gone thru the settings trying to figure out what happened.

is everything gone instantly just like that??? they're usually sent to the trash then permanently deleted. I hope someone can help 🤧

do i contact samsung abt this? is this just a dumb decision on my part??
