  • Whatsapp Introduces Biometric Authentication On iPhone

    Whatsapp Introduces Biometric Authentication On iPhone

    Whatsapp, the world’s most used IM (Instant Messaging) platform has finally brought its FaceID and TouchID authentication to it’s iOS beta users. First spotted by WABetainfo, the new feature has been introduced with the latest 2.19.20.19 update. This update now adds a fingerprint lock, or TouchID, to all its conversations. 

    Previous Encryption 

    The company already introduced end-to-end encryption to all its instances in 2016. With the introduction of this new feature, whatsapp is even more secure, because it eliminates any snooping from your device. Read on to find out how you can avail the latest changes to the widely used social messaging platform. 

    How To Enable FaceID/TouchID Authentication?

    If you have the iPhone X or above, you can use Face ID to get into the application. And if you have one of the older iPhone versions, don’t worry, because the app will use your TouchID to encrypt your chats. To turn this extra piece of security on, just launch the app, and go to Whatsapp Settings > Account and click on Privacy. You will then need to select your screen lock from your settings menu. One thing to note here is that fact that you can still reply to messages from the locked screen if you’ve allowed access. 

    Once you’ve configured this, you’ll have to restart your Whatsapp application to get the new authentication feature to work. Whatsapp will then authenticate you in order to use the app. You need not worry if you can’t get in. There’s a failsafe, which allows you to enter the app by just entering your passcode. It’s simple as that.

    Also, with the new update comes the option to select and download a specific sticker from the sticker pack. But the chats authentication is certainly Whatsapp’s focus here. Are you excited about this added security layer? Share your views with us in the comments below

  • Xiaomi To Launch A Flagship Redmi Smartphone With Snapdragon 855 SoC

    Xiaomi To Launch A Flagship Redmi Smartphone With Snapdragon 855 SoC

    Earlier this year, Xiaomi corporation announced the separation of Redmi smartphone lineup as an independent sub-brand. The significant difference between smartphones from the two brands is that Redmi smartphones use less-expensive components and thus are more cost-effective.

    A Weibo post (see source below) shared by a senior Xiaomi executive reveals interesting information about two upcoming Redmi smartphones. The post exhibits that the company is looking forward to launching the Redmi Note 7 Pro. Surprisingly, the post also states that the company is developing a flagship smartphone that will feature the latest Snapdragon 855 SoC. There is no information available about the Redmi flagship but past rumours suggest it will be called the Redmi X. 

    Redmi X Expectations

    Albeit there are no details available about the Redmi X, being a flagship device it is expected to pack high-end specifications. The smartphone is assumed to have a notch display larger than 6-inch and battery capacity upwards of 4,000 mAh. Even though the price of the upcoming device is unavailable it is expected to be priced aggressively. 

    Note 7 Pro Features

    As the name suggests, the Note 7 Pro is a specced up variant of the Redmi Note 7 which was launched earlier this year. Redmi has confirmed that the upcoming smartphone will feature a 48 MP rear camera sensor like its younger sibling. But, the upcoming device will get the Sony IMX586 sensor which is seen on high-end devices like the Honor View20.

  • Google Removes 29 Malicious Photo-Editing Apps From Play Store

    Google Removes 29 Malicious Photo-Editing Apps From Play Store

    Google is on the roll again. This time, it reportedly took down 29 suspicious Google apps from the Play Store. And the surprising thing was the fact that these applications had already been downloaded over millions of times. Read on to find out more.

    What Do These Apps Do?

    As reported, several apps which are downloaded from the Play Store tend to display objectionable links and content on their screens. The links and clickable content then redirects the users to ‘scam’ websites, where information is misused. Supposedly, these ‘fake’ apps can access remote ad configuration servers for performing their phishing attacks. Previously, Google banned some Crypto-mining apps from their Play Store, due to policy changes by Google in July 2018. It also banned Chrome crypto-mining apps from the Chrome store. Crypto-jacking was a pretty common activity at that time. Hackers used to take over user’s devices for crypto-mining, even on mobile devices.

    List Of Malicious Apps

    Below is the list of the apps that were pulled off the Google Play Store. If you still have any app from the list in your phone, go ahead and uninstall it. It’s for the best

    A lot of these apps are Beauty camera based apps, which lure users via promises of earning “a lot of money in a short span of time”. Our sources say that a huge percentage of downloads were performed in Asia, particularly India. This clearly indicates the kind of audience such developers are targeting. These apps are tough to remove from the application list because they create failsafes such as creating fake app shortcuts. These apps provide irritating full-screen ads, that are very disturbing and take you to another webpage. Thankfully, Google is trying to get rid of such apps, which seems like a good move.

    Twitter May Add The Option To Edit Tweets Soon

    Twitter as a medium has been really popular to get updates by the seconds on all whats happening around the world. But the Achilles heel of Twitter has always been not getting an option of editing tweets. There has been a lot of discussion over the topic and Twitter didn’t give a firm reply. Recently, the CEO of Twitter Jack Dorsey said on the Joe Rogan Podcast that Twitter is considering adding the functionality of editable tweets.

    In his discussion, when asked about the functionality, Rogan said “You could build it as such so maybe we introduce a 5-second to 30-second delay in the sending. And within that window, you can edit. The issue with going longer than that is it takes that real-time nature of the conversational flow out of it.”

    Editable Tweets- A Boon or Bane?

    The quest for editable tweets is nothing new. Since a long time, some famous people have been asking for the feature. Popular Tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee has voiced his opinions many times over the past few years.

    The idea of Tweets that are editable for a while seems like a good one for now, if people can see the edit history. This would make the platform more transparent, which its already quite is. The time period that Twitter would decide to let edits happen isn’t known yet.

  • ZenBook 13, 14 And 15 Announced By ASUS In India

    ZenBook 13, 14 And 15 Announced By ASUS In India

    Since lightweight laptops are the ones ruling the markets these days, ASUS decided to show up with its own answer to all this. It just introduced the latest members of the ZenBook family, which are the ZenBook 13, ZenBook 14 and ZenBook 15. On the user-base side, the three laptops are targeting those users who prefer portability over everything. ASUS has previously released some pretty nice notebooks, so now it’s time to see what the new ZenBooks have to offer.

    ASUS ZenBook 13

    The ASUS ZenBook 13 in just 16.9 mm thin. Featuring a 13.3 inch Full-HD display with a NanoEdge design, the ZenBook 13 achieves a 95% screen-to-body ratio. With ultra-thin side and bottom bezels (2.8mm-3.3mm), it claims to be the world’s smallest 13 inch laptop. If you think the small screen at 13 inches is an issue, the display is optimized for 178-degree viewing angles. We think that this makes it a great device overall.

    The ASUS ZenBook 13 will be marketed in two variants. The first one will pack a 8th gen Intel Core i7-8565U CPU, which will be clocked at 1.8 GHz. The second variant will pack an Intel Core i5-8265U clocked at the same speed. Both variants will have the 2GB NVIDIA GeForce MX150, and the users can pick either the 8GB RAM or 16GB RAM model. There’s a lot of variety in storage options too, with 256GB, 512GB and 1TB of SSD across these devices. 

    The ASUS ZenBook will start at Rs. 71,990. The device is expected to last 14 hours on a single charge. Also, it will be available in 2 colour options : Royal Blue and Icicle Silver.

    ASUS ZenBook 14

    The next iteration in the ZenBook series is the ASUS ZenBook 14, which will be 0.63 inches thin. The 1.09kg notebook will sport a 14-inch Full HD display, with a 92% screen-to-body ratio. Again, this is possible because of very thin bottom and side bezels. Again, it will be available in the same processor options as the ZenBook 13, with similar graphic options. 

    The ASUS ZenBook 14 will last up to 13 hours on a single charge, and it will be available at a price starting Rs. 72,990.

    ASUS ZenBook 15

    The best variant in the new ZenBook Series, the ASUS ZenBook 15 has a much bigger 15.6 inch screen. Not surprisingly, with a 92 percent screen-to-body ratio. It has two CPU options : An Intel Core i7-8565U (8th gen) processor and Intel Core i5-8265U (8th gen) processor. Backed by the same graphics as the other two notebooks, we think that it will deliver pretty well. Similar storage options as the ZenBook 13 and 14 are available.

    The ASUS ZenBook 15 will be priced Rs. 1,39,990 onwards and will be available in the same two colours:  Royal Blue and Icicle Silver Colour Options.

    Elon Musk Releases All of Tesla’s Patents To Save Earth

    Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX is known for being a genius, motor mouth billionaire. Under his leadership, Tesla has transitioned from being just another wannabe electric brand to the best selling one. His social media presence is mostly controversial. However, there is no denying that he has done a lot for the planet.

    We now have one more reason to praise him. On Thursday, Elon announced that all of Tesla’s patent will be made public in a bid to save the planet.

    In a blog post shared by him on Twitter, Musk says “Tesla Motors was created to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport. If we clear a path to the creation of compelling electric vehicles, but then lay intellectual property landmines behind us to inhibit others, we are acting in a manner contrary to that goal. Tesla will not initiate patent lawsuits against anyone who, in good faith, wants to use our technology.”

    Tesla Going Strong

    This comes after a report in CNBC stated that Tesla has around 83 percent market share of electric cars in the US. The sales of the company also have increased over 50 percent since last year. With this step, Musk feels that more companies will make use of electric powered vehicles and would contribute to save the planet.

    Musk said in his blog post that he earlier filed patents to prevent big car companies from copying the technology. And also using the huge marketing and sales apparatus to take over the market. “We couldn’t have been more wrong. The unfortunate reality is the opposite,” he said, noting that electric or clean-fuel cars “at the major manufacturers are small to non-existent.”

The Galaxy S10 is supposed to be the primary launch at the event. There are also some other accessories that Samsung may be planning to launch. There seems to be some ultrasound gadget attached to the phone which could be used to map an unborn child’s heartbeat.

    The highlight of the event, is the foldable smartphone. Samsung first showed it off at its Developer’s Conference in November last year. The phone makes a small appearance in the video which all but confirms that we’ll see more of it at the event.

The primary launches of the event, the Galaxy S10 series, will signify many firsts for Samsung. The phone will be the first it has made to have an in-display fingerprint sensor.
