I'm illiterate when it comes to cell phones can you help me or send me the right direction of somebody from Google that can help me. My phone has been compromised along with a lot of my apps. I play games online to make money and lately none of my games are being tracked to free cash and I just found out that all the games I'm playing for tap Joy are attributed to tap Joy to attribute to Google. Can you help me to stop this issue or could you direct me to somebody from the IT department that can help me out so my gave me money can get attributed to the correct app so I can get paid?

I am a little obsessed with Google Calendar, and she has did an epic blog in 2022 on it and she mentioned the use of focus time - this was what really what changed the game for me in terms of my productivity. I sometimes feel its one of the unsung heroes of productivity. I would love to hear more on how you can wield calendar to increase productivity
