If you're still using a debit card or cash to pay for things, you're stuck in the past. There's a safer and more convenient way to pay — your phone. If you need to reimburse a friend or split a bill, payment apps are especially helpful. They promise security and stability when sending money over the web, but which one is the best for ordinary users?

Why is your phone allowed to track you and share that data with third parties? Because you gave it permission. Typical data-sharing policies are buried within privacy policies and terms of agreements. Instead of wading through those on your own, let us help. In this Komando DIY, learn what settings you need to change to reclaim your privacy.

Kim talks to Chuck about how he hunts down hidden Wi-Fi signals coming from anything from old computers to wireless dehumidifiers.
