How to Use Google Maps Street View in Split Screen on Android

With Google Maps on your desktop computer, you can look at Street View and the top-down map simultaneously. But did you know you can do this on your Android phone, too? This is a simple feature, but it’s one that isn’t super clear when you’re using Google Maps on an Android device. If you have a big display, it’s nice to be able to see Street View and the map side by side.

How to Get an Always-on-Top Calculator in PC Games on Windows 10

Try Windows 10’s Built-in Calculator

Windows 10’s built-in calculator has an always-on-top mode, too. It can stay always on top of whatever desktop apps you’re using. We’re covering another cool trick in this article: Using the Xbox Game Bar’s little-known widgets to get a calculator that can stay always on top anywhere in Windows, including inside PC games.

How to Get an Xbox Game Bar Calculator Widget

Widgets are one of the Xbox Game Bar‘s many handy features. They give you quick access to “widgets” on top of your current activity. With a simple keyboard shortcut, you can bring up a calculator and even pin it to stay on top. Microsoft added widgets to the Game Bar in Windows 10’s May 2019 update. You’ll need that version or newer if you want to use the calculator widget.

The Calculator widget is not included by default, so we’ll have to download it from the Widget Store before we can use it. To bring up the Game Bar, press Windows + G. Alternatively, you can click “Xbox Game Bar” in the Start Menu. (If it doesn’t appear, head to Settings > Gaming > Xbox Game Bar, ensure the Game Bar is “On,” and check if you’ve changed the keyboard shortcut that opens the Game Bar.)

In the “Game Bar” toolbar, click the “Widget” menu icon at the left side of the bar.

From the drop-down list, select “Widget Store” at the bottom.

Scroll through the available widgets and select “Game Bar Calculator” by Mark Lierman. Click “Install” on the information page.

Once it’s installed, you’ll see “Calculator” in the widget menu. Simply click it to open the widget. You can “star” it to put the shortcut in the toolbar as well.

The widget can be dragged around the screen and it will stay in that spot whenever you bring up the Game Bar overlay.

How to Make the Calculator Always-on-Top

These widgets can also be “pinned” to stay always-on-top of whatever you’re doing, even when the Game Bar disappears. To do this, press Windows + G or launch “Xbox Game Bar” from the Start Menu. Once again, open the calculator widget.

open the calculator widget

Now click the pin icon in the top bar of the calculator widget.

click the pin icon

The calculator won’t disappear with the rest of the Game Bar. Keep in mind that you can only move it around when the Game Bar overlay is open.

How to Clear Your Tracked Step History on iPhone

If you’ve ever set up a profile in Apple Health on your iPhone, the app will collect data on how many steps you take each day. If you’d like to clear this record of your physical activity, it’s easy to erase it in the Health app. Here’s how. First, open the Apple Health app. If you can’t find it, swipe downward with one finger in the middle of your iPhone screen, then type “health” in the search bar. Tap the “Health” app icon that appears.

Using Spotlight, search for "Health" then tap the Health icon.

In the Health app, scroll down until you see “Steps,” then tap it. (Depending on how many other health metrics you use, the “Steps” section could be located on various parts of the screen.)

In the Health app, tap "Steps."

On the “Steps” screen, scroll down to the very bottom and tap “Show All Data.”

Tap "Show All Data"

On the “All Recorded Data” screen, tap “Edit” in the upper-right corner of the screen.

Tap "Edit"

The screen will change to an edit screen where you can delete data from individual days using the red circles beside each entry. To delete all recorded step data, tap “Delete All.”

Warning: Once you delete your step data, you won’t be able to get it back.

Tap "Delete All"

After confirming the deletion, Health will erase all of your step data. This does not prevent Health from collecting future step data, however. To do so, we’ll need to take a trip to Settings in the section below.

How to Disable Apple Health Activity Tracking on iPhone

If you’ve just cleared your step data and would like to prevent the Health app from collecting activity data in the future, it’s easy to turn off in Settings. First, open the Settings app.

Tap the "Settings" icon on iPhone

In Settings, tap “Privacy.”

In iPhone Settings, tap "Privacy."

In “Privacy,” scroll down and select “Motion & Fitness.”

Tap "Motion & Fitness."

In “Motion and Fitness,” tap the switch beside “Health” to turn it off. This will prevent the Health app from receiving any future activity data from your iPhone’s sensors.

Turn off the switch beside "Health."

Alternately, you can completely disable “Fitness Tracking” at the top of the screen, but doing so will also prevent other apps from using activity data. If that’s fine with you, just switch “Fitness Tracking” to “Off.” After that, exit Settings, and you’re done. From now on, Health will no longer know how many steps you take every day. Stay healthy out there!
