Also this week, Apple's plan to convert their handgun emoji into a waterpistol may have backfired. Plus listener questions on how to transfer Whatsapp messages between device platforms, and how to get back access to the BBC iPlayer when a device removes it.

The Gadget of the Week is the Sandisk UHS-1 range of high capacity memory cards.
