Google Keep is now Google Keep Notes, because Google

• The latest version of Google Keep on APKMirror features a name change to Google Keep Notes.
• The app is otherwise mostly the same, so the reasoning behind the name change is unclear.
• The app and browser-based version are still called Google Keep as of publishing this article.

If you head over to APKMirror, you’ll see that the latest version of Google Keep — Google’s note-taking app — has a new name: Google Keep Notes. It is not quite clear why the name of the app is different.

Sure enough, if you install Google Keep Notes onto an Android phone via APKMirror, the default name for the app reflects this change (see above).

10 best note taking apps for Android

One of the many great things about having a smartphone is the ability to take notes. You have your smartphone on you at practically all times. That makes it a prime spot to put your …

As of publishing this article, however, the listing for Google Keep on the Google Play Store is still the “old” name, and the browser-based version of the app also retains the simple “Keep” moniker.

The very brief changelog for Google Keep Notes for Android makes no mention of changing the app’s name, and the changes made do not seem significant enough to warrant a rebranding. See for yourself below:

• Support grid & ruled lines for drawings
• Bug fixes and performance improvements

It is possible that this is all a mistake and Google will issue a new version of the app which will revert back to the simple Keep title. However, this could be a permanent change that Google is quietly pushing through because…of something?

Regardless, for the time being, the newest version of the Keep app for Android has a different name than the other versions of Keep, so that’s pretty interesting.

Google potentially renaming ‘Incognito Mode’ to ‘Private Mode’ in Chrome

• A few Chrome users are reporting “Incognito Mode” references are gone, with “Private Mode” in its place.
• It appears that only a small subset of users can see this change, suggesting a Google server-side test.
• If Google really is abandoning Incognito Mode, it will bring it in line with other browsers which mostly use Private Mode.

Over at Android Police, a couple of tipsters reported that they surprisingly saw references to “Incognito Mode” missing in their Chrome browser. Instead, the browser used the term “Private Mode” to describe the usual Incognito Mode functions.

We here at Android Authority couldn’t see the change on any of our own Chrome browsers, and Android Police staff couldn’t either. This suggests that Google is doing a small server-side test to see if changing the name works or doesn’t work, and these tipsters just happened to see it.

How to protect your privacy using Android

We keep an awful lot of personal information on our mobiles these days and, as a direct result, these devices know quite a lot about us. From our location and contacts to our favourite hangouts …

If Google does end up changing the Incognito Mode term to Private Mode, it will put it in line with other rival browsers, such as Apple Safari (“Private Window”), Mozilla Firefox (“Private Browsing”), and Microsoft Edge (“InPrivate”).

For what it’s worth, the Google Chrome support page that describes Incognito Mode uses the term “private” much more than it does “incognito.” In fact, the headline of the support page itself is “Browse in private.”

In the past, Chrome’s Incognito Mode has caused confusion for users who think that by using it they are hidden from all online trackers, which is not what Incognito Mode does. It might be that switching the name to Private Mode will better clarify what exactly happens when you use it (i.e., anything you do is not locally saved to your computer).

What do you think? Are you attached to the Incognito Mode moniker, or would you welcome a name change? Let us know in the comments!

How to Install WordPress Locally on Mac using MAMP

Do you want to install WordPress locally on Mac? Installing WordPress on your computer allows you to try out WordPress before you start a blog. In this article, we will show you how to install WordPress locally on Mac using MAMP.

Tip: Not using Mac? We also have a tutorial on how to install WordPress locally on Windows.

How to Install MAMP on Mac

The first thing you need to do is visit the MAMP website and download MAMP. Once the download is finished, you will need to open the downloaded file and drag the image file inside it to your Applications folder. Next, simply follow the on-screen instructions.

After the installation, you can go ahead and launch MAMP from the Applications » MAMP on your computer.

Note: MAMP also installs MAMP Pro (paid version), so remember to click on the right one.

Before you get started, we recommend configuring a few settings to make your MAMP experience better. You can do this by launching the Preferences menu and then switch to the ports tab.

Enter port 80 for Apache and then click on the OK button.

Setting Apache to use port 80 will allow you to access your local websites from http://localhost instead of http://localhost:8888. However this also means that each time you start MAMP servers, you will have to provide the admin password of your computer.

The next step is to set the document root folder. This will be the folder where you will create and store your websites. By default, MAMP uses /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/ folder, but you can change that to a more accessible location.

In the preferences dialog box, click on Web Server tab and then select the folder where you want to store your websites. Ideally, you should store each of your website in a new folder inside the Documents folder.

You can name this folder anything you want. For example, htdocs, mywebsites, wpdev, etc. For the sake of this article, we will call it allwebsites.

Click OK to save your changes.

Installing WordPress on Mac

Now that you have set up MAMP, let’s go ahead and install WordPress on your Mac computer.

First you need to visit the WordPress.org website to download a copy of WordPress. After downloading the file, you need to unzip it.

Next, copy the wordpress folder inside and paste it into your MAMP document root folder. You can rename this folder to anything you want (example: mysite, wpbeginner, etc).

WordPress needs a database to store all website data, so you will need to create a database before we install WordPress. Don’t worry, it’s not as hard as it sounds.

Simply click on the Open Web Start Page button in MAMP application window. A new browser window will open where you need to click on Tools » phpMyAdmin from the top menu bar.

phpMyAdmin is a web-based application used to manage MySQL databases. In phpMyAdmin, you need to click on Databases and then create a new database.

You can name this database anything you want, but please write it down because you’ll need the database name in the next step. For this tutorial, we will call it test_db.

Now that you have created the database, it is time to install WordPress.

Go to http://localhost/mysite in a new browser tab. If you re-named the wordpress folder to something else, then use that name here.

You’ll now see the first step of WordPress installation wizard asking you to select a language.

Select the language that you want to install WordPress and then click on the continue button.

On the next screen, WordPress will tell you about the information you will need to complete the installation. Click on the ‘Let’s go’ button to move forward.

Next, you will be asked to enter your WordPress database information. You already know the database name from the step earlier. For username and password, you need to use root. For the database host, you need to use localhost.

Once you are done, click on the submit button to continue.

WordPress will now connect to your database and create a configuration file for you. After this, it will show you a success message. Click on ‘Run the installation’ button to proceed.

On the next screen, WordPress will ask you to provide your website information, choose a username and password, and enter an email address. Go ahead and fill in the form and then click on Install WordPress button.

WordPress will now run the installation, and you’ll see a success message once it’s done.

You can now go ahead and login to the WordPress site installed locally on your Mac computer.

Trying WordPress Locally on Mac

The purpose of a local install is to help you test out WordPress or develop a website on your computer. Here are a few things you would want to try.

• Finding perfect WordPress themes and giving them a try.
• Test essential WordPress plugins locally.
• Learn WordPress programming by creating your own plugins and themes.

Moving Your Local WordPress Install to Live Website

Once you have played with WordPress locally, you’ll want to move it to a live website. This is the only way others will be able to see your website.

To do that you’ll need a domain name and web hosting account. A domain name is your website’s address on the internet, and web hosting is where your website files are stored.

We recommend using Bluehost. They are one of the biggest hosting companies in the world and an officially recommended WordPress hosting partner.

Luckily, they are offering WPBeginner users discount on hosting and a free domain name. Basically, you can get started for $2.75 per month.
