Being Tricky publishes tested how-tos, fixes and plain-English guides for Android, Windows, AI tools and online security, plus iPhone and Mac guides based on Apple’s official documentation.
What we mean by “tricks”
A “trick” on Being Tricky is a legitimate shortcut: a setting most people don’t know about, a faster way to do something, or a fix that actually works. We don’t publish hacks, piracy, cracked apps, ways to get into someone else’s account, or ways around security, paywalls or privacy controls. When people search for those things, we explain the risks and show the legitimate alternative.
Who runs Being Tricky
Being Tricky is written, tested and edited by one person: Prince Ramgarhia. I’ve been writing tech how-tos and fixes since 2012, and every guide is checked on the phone and laptop I use every day: a Samsung Galaxy S25 and a Windows 11 laptop.
I started Being Tricky in 2012 to share tech tips and tricks that actually work. You can read more on my author page and reach me through the contact page.
How guides are made
- Tested on real devices: Android guides on a Samsung Galaxy phone and Windows guides on a Windows 11 PC. When we test a guide hands-on, its Tested on box shows the device, software version and date. Guides we could not test ourselves say they follow the official documentation. See How we test.
- Clearly labeled when not tested: iPhone and Mac steps are based on Apple’s official documentation unless the article says they were tested, and we link to the Apple page we used.
- Self-reviewed with a written checklist: before anything is published, I check every step, menu name, version, price and date against my test notes and official sources. See our editorial policy.
- Honest dates: we only show “Updated” when something important changed, and we list what changed.
- AI is a helper, not the author: see our AI use policy.
Ownership
Being Tricky is independently owned by Prince Ramgarhia (Dice Codes). No investor, manufacturer, carrier or software company owns any part of it or has a say in what we publish. Details: Ownership and funding.
How we make money
- Display ads from Google AdSense. Ads are labeled “Advertisements”, are kept separate from articles, and are switched off on scam and hacked-account guides. Advertisers don’t choose or see our articles. See our advertising policy.
- Affiliate links (sometimes): if you buy through one, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Articles with affiliate links say so at the top. Commissions never change what we recommend. See our affiliate disclosure.
- We don’t accept payment for reviews, rankings or coverage.
