Hiza Tehseen is a technology writer and IT support specialist
from Pakistan. She has spent the last five years doing what most
people avoid digging through settings menus testing obscure
fixes, and figuring out why devices behave the way they do across
Android, iOS Windows and macOS.
She started HiddenTechGuide.com in 2023 for one simple reason:
most tech help online is either copied from official docs or
written by someone who has never actually touched the device
they are writing about. Hiza wanted to change that.
Every guide she publishes has been tested on real hardware first.
She is not partnered with Apple, Google Microsoft or any brand
which means her recommendations are based on what actually works,
not what she has been paid to promote.
When she is not running tests or updating guides, she is usually
responding to reader emails about the tech problems that no
official support page seems to cover properly.
