Hey, I'm Xaif. My real name is Huzaifa Dhapai, and I'm the guy behind TechVerge.
I'm a web developer who loves technology, Android and apps.
I've been an Android fan for more than ten years now. I just love it: every year it gets a big update, with hundreds of changes to try out.
How TechVerge started
I started this blog in 2015 to post about deals and loots.
Pretty soon, I realised that affiliate marketing wasn't my thing. Honestly, it felt weird.
So I decided to write about what I actually love: tricks for Android, apps, the internet and much more.
Back then, the blog was called Xtreme Tricks. Later, I renamed it TechVerge.
Fun fact: my favourite YouTuber back then was TechRax, the guy who loved breaking iPhones. His channel's name gave me the idea for TechVerge.
The first phone I bought with my own money, after I started blogging, was a Google Nexus 5. I loved that phone so much that I never wanted to let it go.
What I do
After my 12th class, I wanted to really understand software, hardware and programming. So I joined a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BScIT).
Today, I work as a web developer. I've also built custom ROMs for Android, and I keep learning something new about code every day.
What you'll find here
- Android tricks and tweaks
- Step-by-step fixes for Windows, Mac and iPhone
- App reviews and "best of" lists
- WhatsApp tips and guides
I write every guide the way I'd explain it to a friend: short steps, the exact buttons to tap, and screenshots where they help.
Tech changes fast, so I go back to older posts and update them when apps, menus or prices change.
