I am not a regular Linux user and the only knowledge I have gained about Linux (Ubuntu) is from the 6th semester curriculum of my engineering studies. It was only those 6 months that I used Ubuntu on my personal laptop. After migrating to Windows however, one feature of Ubuntu I missed on a regular [...]

We have seen many tricks using which we can backup and restore text messages on an Android phone. However, many people use WhatsApp as their default messaging client as it’s cheap when compared to normal text messaging and supports multimedia files.
