Prepare Your iPhone for iOS 27: Backups, Space, and App Compatibility

To prep for iOS 27, back up your iPhone (iCloud or computer), update to iOS 26 first if needed, and free about 18–25 GB of space for a smooth install. Check app compatibility with the new OS, use iPhone Storage to offload or delete unused apps and remove duplicate photos or large attachments, ensure you know your Apple ID, keep the device charged, and use a reliable Wi‑Fi connection. You might also consider waiting a short time after release to hear user feedback before upgrading.

Backup Depth Shines as Dolphins Begin Final Roster Decisions in Week 3 Preseason

With starters rested, the Dolphins used Week 3 to audition depth players ahead of final roster cuts, while the Falcons played their starters. Cam Miller led the Miami offense in Ewers' absence; Tua Tagovailoa saw first-team reps but with limited air yards. The night produced several standout depth pieces—Chris Bell, Jackson Woodard, Tyrel Dodson, Jalen Tolbert, Mark Gronowski, and D.J. Campbell—who could earn spots or trades, while Ethan Bonner, Theo Wease Jr., Josh Priebe, and D.J. Herman struggled, potentially sealing their fate ahead of the 53-man deadline.

"49ers' QB Dynamics: Darnold's Rise and Team Depth in the Spotlight"

The San Francisco 49ers are not planning to rest many starters against the Rams in Week 18, but due to injuries, some backups will get a chance to play more. Quarterback Sam Darnold will start, offering him a chance to showcase his abilities before becoming a free agent. Return specialist Ray-Ray McCloud is coming off IR and will get game time to shake off rust. Running backs Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason will have opportunities to prove themselves as reliable options behind Christian McCaffrey. Cornerback Samuel Womack could see increased playtime due to Jason Verrett's injury, and offensive tackle Jaylon Moore will likely get snaps as Trent Williams is not expected to play the whole game. Defensive lineman Clelin Ferrell has personal incentives to play for, including snap count and sack targets.

WhatsApp users will soon see a change in how their chat backups are stored on Google Drive, as these will start counting towards the Google account's storage limit.

The change, which is currently being tested in the WhatsApp beta program, is expected to be implemented in the first half of 2024 for all users. WhatsApp is informing users about the upcoming change 30 days in advance, and those concerned about storage space can consider local backups or backing up text messages only to save space.
