How to remove iOS configuration profiles
Back in March 2013, security firm Skycure found that some configuration profiles on iOS pose a major security vulnerability because they use root certificates that might allow harmful software to bypass Apple's sandboxing rules and install on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad.
Apple has since removed a few apps from the App Store that were found to install root certificates which could allow monitoring of data.
Still, the fact remains that configuration profiles could be exploited to compromise SSL/TLS security solutions. If you have a configuration profile installed on your device that's no longer use by apps, you should delete it in order to make sure your data remains protected.
In this tutorial, we're going to demonstrate how easy it is to delete iOS configuration profiles that are no longer needed, thereby increasing your security.

How to change the click speed of the Home button
One of the pet peeves that I have with my iPhone and other iOS devices is sometimes when trying to launch the App Switcher, I end up on the Home screen, or I end up toggling my accessibility shortcut instead by accident. As much as I swear I just pressed my Home button twice, the device thinks I pressed it once, or three times.
Granted this doesn't happen to me all the time, but it happens enough for me to notice it. It'll happen occasionally because the device's Home button sensor can become overloaded with input in a short period of time and fail to recognize presses either because of device lag or a worn-out sensor. Or, perhaps the opposite happened – you're too slow and the device expects you to press the button quicker and so it only registers a single press when you meant to press twice.
In this tutorial, we'll show how to adjust the click speed of the Home button and put a stop to this happening once and for all.

In this post, we'll tell you all you need to know about the most popular cloud storage solutions. We're going to detail backing up your media to each of them and discuss recommended strategies for freeing up as much storage space as possible without destroying your personal memories or changing your workflow much.

How to permanently delete voicemails on iPhone
Since its inception the iPhone has supported Visual Voicemail, a feature that lets you see a list of your voicemails and choose which one to interact with without having to wade through all of them.

If you have set up and use Visual Voicemail on your iPhone, voicemails people leave in your inbox can quickly pile up, causing not just unnecessary clutter in the interface but also wasting your iPhone's precious storage space.
Follow the instructions provided in this tutorial to delete unwanted voicemails and claim back the storage space they occupy.
