How to remove watermarks from an image
We all love to share pictures from the Internet, especially if we find something we've been looking for a long time. But unfortunately, many of them are drowned in annoying watermarks, spoiling the whole atmosphere, and sometimes overlapping half of the image.
To avoid wasting time looking for a replacement or working in a photo editor, you can ask for help from Watermark Remover, whose artificial intelligence will get rid of unnecessary elements of any image in a matter of seconds.
It will cope not only with semi-transparent watermarks, but also with invisible marks which only special software can spot.

Make your phone private
If you're a Google user, you know that the company watches almost every click you make and will provide all the data to services on the first request. Doesn't sound very appealing, does it?
Fortunately, you can get rid of it by installing CalyxOS firmware, which focuses on security and privacy.
It will completely remove all traces of Google from Android so that the company knows nothing about you. All that remains is to download alternatives to Google apps (we talked about it some days ago).
Also you will be able to encrypt all calls by default and add a "red button" for emergency data cleaning.
Try it!
