One of the common problems of Gmail is that it does not save email ID of the person we frequently mail. Maybe Gmail team assumes that saving contact information of all emails that we receive or send will be a long time disaster, as it will fill our contacts will unwanted information. Therefore we have to do it manually. Here is our easy guide to create contact from the email you have received, so you can just type in the name and Gmail will add the email ID.
Consider this situation – You want to send an email to John Doe, an acquaintance whom you have previously contacted with on email. But, as soon as you start writing John Doe in Compose box, Gmail does not suggest any associated email. So, you will have to take time to find email correspondence from John, look up his contact information, copy it and then paste it in the new message “To” field.
However, you can escape from this trouble by creating a contact from the email that John has previously sent. Just follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Hover your cursor over the name of the recipient, it will show a contact card popup.
Step 2: Click on Add to contacts from the popup.
Now you can find this contact of your email recipient in your Gmail contacts. And it will appear in Gmail’s auto suggestion box every time you start typing out the name.

That’s all. If you need to edit anything, follow the same procedure or head over to Google Contacts for changes.

It’s a common practice these days to have multiple accounts for everything from messaging apps to email and ride sharing apps. Done with the intention of separating work data from personal information, it’s clear that more and more people turn to third party solutions to clone apps. Though there are various ways, here is our guide on the best one to manage your multiple accounts seamlessly.
Before we start, let us first understand some basics:
Cloning apps, as the name suggests is the process duplicating an app like Gmail or WhatsApp by putting a different app signature to the clone. This allows the user to maintain separate accounts in each app without having to log out of an account and then sign back in from a different account.
In cyber security, sandboxing is a method used to separate the data of any app to be sealed off, and inaccessible by other third party apps that are untrusted sources.
What it means, in the context of this article is that you can keep separate apps for contacts, photos and messaging without mixing with your work profile.
There are multiple apps like Parallel and App Cloner but the most elegant solution is offered by the app Island which is currently free and in beta testing stages.

Island makes use of a feature introduced in Android 5.0 (Lollipop) called managed profiles which allow the user to create sandboxed application clones. This environment is the basis for Android at Work which was introduced along with Android 5.0. Other app cloning apps like Parallel require the user to launch into that app to switch between environments.
The main advantage of using Island is that it doesn’t take up extra space and simply creates a separate data profile. For example, if Contacts app is 40 Mb then its clone will take up no additional space and instead only creates a separate data profile for the other account for storing contact information.
At first launch, you’ll be asked to enable Android for Work and once you grant permission, the app will restart on its own. Once the app launches you’ll be presented with a very simple interface. The top left will show a drop down menu with two options, Island & Mainland.
Mainland is a list of all the apps present in the phone whereas Island contains all the apps that have been cloned. By enabling Android for Work, apps like contacts and Play services are already cloned and can be found on the Island.
To clone the app simply go to Mainland and tap the app you’d like to clone. Then hit the plus icon on the bottom right to clone the app. You can also freeze a cloned app by going to Island, selecting the app and pressing the lock icon near the bottom right corner.

If you’re stuck using Android 4.0.3 or a version in between 4.0.3 and 5.0, here are two alternatives to clone apps:
App Cloner [Free, contains in-app purchases]
While App Cloner doesn’t function like Island by creating data profiles, it distinguishes itself by offering plenty of customisation features through an in-app purchase.
Parallel Space [Free, contains ads & in-app purchases]
The second alternative, Parallel Space would be my last preference for anyone as it lacks both the features of App Cloner or the simplicity of Island. To make matters worse, users will be constantly bombarded with ads unless a monthly subscription is paid to disable ads.
Another reason to hold off on the app is that unlike the other two apps, it requires the user to launch the cloned apps from the Parallel app since the clones don’t sit in the app drawer.
One redeeming feature of this app, for the sake of being neutral, is the ability to customise the spaces inside the app with different themes. The app also supports a security lock feature to protect all the apps in the space.
Although the choices are plenty, I’d like to close by saying that Island offers the best choice for people looking for a simple solution to clone android apps whereas alternatives caters to more advanced users despite requiring an in-app purchase.
