So whether you’re planning to pass on your iPhone to a family member or if you accidentally synced your contacts list with a friend and are wondering if there’s a way to delete all those extra names, we’ve got good news for you: deleting multiple contacts is super easy! Below, we’ve got a step-by-step guide on how to delete multiple contacts on iCloud in one go. Before we kick off with the process, however, make sure that you’re near a desktop computer (it doesn’t matter whether it runs on macOS or Windows) and that you have an iCloud account set up beforehand....

The sad truth is no phones are fully waterproof — most modern designs are water resistant, but all phones will succumb to water damage if submerged for long enough. That means you need to take action quickly, even if your phone appears to be working as normal after the drop. Don’t reach for the rice though; as you will see in this guide, it won’t help the situation. Here’s how to get water out of your phone before it’s too late....

What’s more, painting a room is a quick project we can easily tackle ourselves without calling in the professionals, saving us extra cash. While it may seem like a simple task, there are some tips and tricks of the trade to know before you start. Common mistakes can often happen without the right preparation, so it’s vital to know how to paint a room properly to get those professional results....

The Google Pixel Watch ($349) is the first Wear OS smartwatch designed specifically for Pixel smartphone users, though anyone with an Android phone can set up and use the Pixel Watch. It’s one of the best smartwatches for using Google apps, and comes preinstalled with Fitbit’s fitness tracking to help you monitor your overall health once you connect Google Pixel Watch to Fitbit. Not only that, the Pixel Watch looks clean and minimalistic, and is compatible with a selection of exclusive Pixel Watch straps....

Thankfully there are a number of tips you can try to help you drift off and stay asleep during the night. Here, Dr Lindsay Browning, a neuroscientist, chartered psychologist at Trouble Sleeping (opens in new tab) and author of Navigating Sleeplessness (opens in new tab), talks us through how to sleep for longer. And if you’re having trouble falling asleep, learn how we could be seeing the end of sleeping pills - Doctors to recommend sleep app for insomnia...

Having qualified as one the three best teams in the CONCACAF group, team USA must now overcome a World Cup Finals group containing Iran, Wales and England. The USMNT missed out on the 2018 World Cup in Russia and a new generation will be desperate to make the most of playing on soccer’s biggest stage. How far can the USMNT go, and where can soccer fans watch to cheer them on?...

The Obi-Wan Kenobi series turned out to be a covert way to introduce a much-younger Princess Leia Organa (played by Vivien Lyra Blair). This new chapter of the Star Wars universe’s Skywalker Saga may not be in an episode movie, but now that we know about this character, we have a better understanding of what the Obi-Wan show will give us. While this series is primarily about the return of Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan and Hayden Christiansen as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, and their inevitable rematch that’s already been confirmed, something else is afoot....

It’s also a great finale for the PlayStation 4. Although I thoroughly enjoyed God of War Ragnarök, I couldn’t help but feel that I was playing a last-gen title. I understand that might be a strange statement, considering it is technically a last-gen game. But I didn’t feel this way about Horizon Forbidden West, which is also a cross-gen title. God of War Ragnarök also arrives a few days shy of the PS5’s two-year anniversary....

Some folks may have had that moment this week when Picard season two or the Halo TV series finally debuted. Not me. I’ve barely played more than nine hours of Halo in my life, and all of the word of mouth made it sound like more of a car-crash than a must-stream. When the question of a dude’s helmet getting taken off is the entire discourse surrounding a show — The Mandalorian would be nothing without Baby Yoda — I look to see what else to watch this weekend....

Efron’s last dramatic body transformation was for his role in the 2017 comedy, Baywatch, in which he starred opposite Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, and luckily for me, the actor has shared a few of the workouts he used to get in shape. It goes without saying, what works for Zac Efron might not be right for you and your body, and if you’re new to an exercise, or returning to exercise from injury, it’s a good idea to get your form checked with a personal trainer before adding reps or weight to the move....

Of course, this is nothing new — walking 10,000 steps per day has been a go-to goal for anyone trying to up their movement for years. But in recent months, TikTokers have been sharing their results from following the challenge, so I dug out my walking shoes and gave it a go for 30 days. The challenge is to take 10,000 steps per day, whether outside, or on a treadmill, whatever the weather....

I don’t have a ton of familiarity with LoL, so once I knew I’d be going I started to study up. I have watched esports on occasion — a great way to kill time working retail for Microsoft was to watch the Halo Championship Series — but LoL was largely foreign to me. My only experience with it was when a former roommate showed me YouTube footage of the 2015 Worlds because they knew I was into gaming....

One reason was that watching Glass Onion on the big screen didn’t cost much: I have a Season Pass for the Alamo Drafthouse, and this is only my second movie in the week that I’ve had it for. (You save money if you go to at least two movies in a month.) Secondly, I wanted to get out of the house. That reasoning aside, I still think I could have spent those hours better doing something else....

If you’ve just come back from vacation and can’t quite put your finger on the name of that old building you passed by, Google has you covered. As well as being useful for old-fashioned web searches, the Google app has a whole bunch of other handy features, including the ability to identify landmarks from photos stored on your phone. The good news is that the Google app is already on your phone if you have one of the best Android phones, as well as the best Android tablets....

The beta is in the hands of developers now, which means the changes will soon find their way to the iOS 16 public beta. Here are all of the changes in iOS 16 beta 4. Updates to edit and undo send in Messages One feature a lot of people seem to be looking forward to are the changes in iOS 16 Messages — specifically, the ability to edit text messages and unsend messages....

Widgets have been around since iOS 14 arrived two years ago. They offer at-a-glance bits of information, saving you from having to fire up an app to see upcoming appointments, the current weather conditions, or whatever other piece of data you need. You’ve been able to place these widgets on your iPhone’s home screen previously, but now new widgets are available for the lock screen, too. (You can also read our guide on the 15 best iOS 16 lock screen widgets to add to your iPhone)....

We picked “when” not “if” there for a reason. iPhone owners nearly always jump to the latest version of Apple’s mobile software because unlike our Android friends, we’re not at the mercy of phone makers and carriers as to when we can upgrade. When Apple makes an iOS update available, it’s available for everyone. Indeed, at the start of October, nearly a quarter of iOS users had upgraded to iOS 16, according to estimates by ad-fraud protection firm Pixalate....

As reported by 9to5Mac (opens in new tab), the bad news is that Apple’s partners are experiencing supply issues, according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The good news is that these issues should not impact the iPhone 14 release date. In a series of tweets by Kuo (opens in new tab), he says that “I’ve learned that recently some iPhone 14 panel and memory suppliers have experienced supply issues, but it should have a limited impact on the coming mass production of the iPhone 14 because other suppliers can fill the supply gap....

It’s no secret that stacked up against the iPhone 14 Pro rumors, potential changes to the rest of the iPhone 14 lineup sound less than earth-shattering. The Pro models of this year’s iPhone are expected to lose the notch, get a faster A16 processor and possibly even an upgraded 48MP main camera. None of those things are likely to come to the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max. Don’t get me wrong — I still think the iPhone 14 will be a worthwhile upgrade, especially for people who’ve been holding on to their iPhone for three years or more and don’t want to pay $1,000 or so on their next phone....

Scotland’s Six Nations campaign hasn’t gone to plan at all. They started with a win over England and looked fair set for a genuine title at the tile. But defeats against Wales and then France have left them out of the running; a win here is almost a given, but but they’ll want a bonus-point victory to stand a chance of climbing that table. If Scotland’s tournament has gone badly, Italy’s has been far worse....
