Not receive texts temporarily?

I would like to know how to not receive texts temporarily, but then you get them when you want. I know you can put your phone on airplane mode but it will show if my phone is on airplane mode so when my dad checks it he will turn airplane mode off and my phone will receive the texts. Is there any other way that I can temporarily not receive texts but then get the texts after I turn an option off? By the way, I have an iPhone!

Mobile: How to download files and Apps now?

A key advantage of Android compared to Iphone used to be the ability to handle files (download and Bluetooth).

However, recently both my Androids have complained storage is low.
One has 2 GB of Android hidden files, the other 4 GB.
Less about 200 MB for downloads!

Now that Android is making it impossible to do downloads (I do have a SD card, but Chrome doesn't seem to have heard of them), what options are available?

Drop Android and use a PC?

APPLE/iCLOUD EXPERT: Why did photo albums delete off my laptop when iCloud was disabled on my iPhone?

I regularly import my photos from my iPhone to my Macbook Air. Previously they were imported to iPhoto events, and now they are imported to Photos albums.

I was tired of getting the constant notification that my iCloud storage was full, and since i regularly import my photos there really is no reason to constantly have them all backed up into iCloud, so i disabled iCloud on my phone.

I just opened Photos on my laptop, and two of my albums are completely GONE. I'm assuming this is because of deleting iCloud, but I'm not sure how, since I imported the photos directly.

Apple sent me an email upon deleting iCloud saying it stores everything for 30 days if i change my mind, and i just have to go on my phone and "undo delete". I did that, and my two albums are still missing.

Can anyone explain how to retrieve these photos or tell me if they're lost forever?

Is my iPhone 7 water damaged if water got into the speaker?

I dropped my iPhone 7 plus into water yesterday and it has a mesh where it makes water not want to go thru but it was not more than 2 ft, it was in the sink. It fell face first which caused pressure and water got into the top speaker. And most likely the bottom one. If apple opens my phone will they know? They say it's splash resistant and water resistant to up to 30 mins under 3 ft. So I don't know if it forced its way in and damaged my phone. No water lines no glitching nothing has happened.
