This is our first mission of the new decade, a whirlwind start to the new Turbo series.In the past two years, we have experienced great success in exploring two generations of performance products, Note 11T Pro and Note 12 Turbo. The first product of the new series is named “Turbo 3” and will be equipped with the new Snapdragon 8 series flagship core. As a top performer, it will lead the industry’s mid-range performance leap.

The announcement came with the reveal of the “Redmi Note Turbo 3” name for the upcoming device, marking the birth of the Turbo lineup.

The handset is rumoured to be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor.

How to Manage Precise Location Tracking of Apps on Your iPhone: A Complete Guide

Highlights

Toggle precise location tracking for individual apps via iPhone settings.
“Precise: On” option allows for detailed location sharing with apps.
Disabling precise location switches to approximate location sharing.
Precise location settings can affect app functionality and are restorable from backups.

Navigating the permissions you’ve granted for apps to track your precise location on iOS devices can be somewhat complex.

The first time you launch many apps, they request your consent to use your exact location.

Given the number of apps we often download, it’s easy to lose track of which ones have been granted this access.

Here’s a straightforward guide to managing and disabling precise location tracking on your iPhone.

How To Disable Location Tracking of Apps

When an app asks for your location, you’re typically presented with three options: “Allow Once,” “Allow While Using the App,” and “Don’t Allow.”

What might not be immediately obvious is the “Precise: On” toggle located in the top left corner.

This toggle gives you the option to either maintain precise location tracking or switch to a less specific, approximate location.

The key distinction here is that with precise location enabled, the app can pinpoint your exact position, potentially down to the building you’re in.

Conversely, with precise location disabled, the app will only have a general idea of your whereabouts, such as the city or town you’re located in (to within several miles).

Apple explains the functionality as follows: enabling precise location allows apps to use your exact whereabouts.

When turned off, apps are restricted to using your approximate location.

Disabling Precise Location Tracking for Specific Apps

It’s important to note that disabling precise location for certain apps might affect their functionality.

Also, if you switch phones and restore from a backup, your location settings will carry over to the new device.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to disable precise location tracking:

Launch the Settings app on your iPhone.
Scroll down and select “Privacy & Security.”
Tap on “Location Services” at the top of the menu.
Scroll through and select an app to view its location permissions.
At the bottom, you’ll see the “Precise Location” toggle. Tap it to turn off precise tracking.

With precise tracking turned off, apps will still have access to your location but with less accuracy.

If your aim is to prevent an app from accessing your location entirely, select “Never” at the top of the app’s location settings.

For those looking to disable location services entirely across all apps, you will need to turn off the main “Location Services” switch found at the top of the Location Services settings page.

For more comprehensive privacy measures, consider conducting a full location privacy checkup or utilizing iOS’s Safety Check feature to manage who has access to your location information.

FAQs

How can I see which apps are using my precise location on my iPhone?

To view which apps have access to your precise location, open the Settings app, go to Privacy & Security, then Location Services. Here, you’ll find a list of apps with location permissions where you can see and adjust each app’s access to your precise location.

What happens when I turn off precise location tracking for an app?

Turning off precise location for an app limits it to accessing only your approximate location, such as the general city or area you’re in, instead of your exact address or coordinates. This might impact the app’s ability to provide detailed services based on your location.

Can I disable precise location tracking for all apps at once?

To disable precise location for all apps, you’d have to manually toggle off precise location for each app in the Location Services settings. For complete privacy, you can turn off Location Services entirely, but this action disables all location functionalities.

Will changing my precise location settings affect app performance?

Some apps may require precise location to function correctly, such as navigation or weather apps. Disabling precise location could reduce the accuracy of the information or services provided by these apps.

Pixel Users Notice Google Wallet Design Inconsistency Based on Access Method

Highlights

Older Google Wallet design reappears on Pixels despite newer version rollout.
Access method impacts Google Wallet UI: Quick Settings or lockscreen shortcut triggers old design.
Redesigned Google Wallet offers a more streamlined experience with updated visuals.
Both designs visible side-by-side in the Recents multitasking menu on Pixel phones.

Pixel users have recently encountered a curious quirk with Google Wallet, finding that the app’s design can vary depending on how it’s accessed.

This inconsistency has seen the app toggling between an older layout and its more recent redesign, creating a slightly disjointed user experience.

Google Wallet’s New Design

As per 9to5Google, the older version of Google Wallet is marked by a prominently large NFC prompt at the app’s top, contrasting sharply with the redesigned version that greets users with their card information upfront, accompanied by a subtler “Hold to reader” indicator.

Moreover, the revamped layout does away with the side-by-side display of credit and debit cards, opting instead for a sleek cover flow animation.

This change not only streamlines the visual presentation but also enhances usability by showcasing more passes per screen thanks to reduced spacing and a shift to a standard list design from the original docking effect.

The Unexpected Switch

Despite the rollout of the new design, the older interface has made an unexpected comeback on devices that had previously updated to the newer look.

This reversion to the old UI is triggered when accessing Wallet through the Quick Settings Tile or the lockscreen shortcut on Pixel phones.

Conversely, tapping on the app icon from the home screen continues to launch Wallet in its updated design.

Interestingly, this design discrepancy is visible when viewing the app in the Recents multitasking menu, where both versions can appear side by side.

Navigating the Design Dilemma

This anomaly appears to be a bug affecting Pixel phones, where the method of launching Google Wallet dictates which version of the app’s interface is displayed.

This issue has perplexed users, especially those who have become accustomed to the newer, more streamlined design and functionality of Google Wallet.

As of now, it remains to be seen how Google will address this inconsistency, whether through a software update or other means.

FAQs

What is the Google Wallet design inconsistency on Pixel phones?

Pixel phone users have reported an unusual occurrence where the Google Wallet app switches between an older and a newer design based on how the app is accessed. Opening the app via the Quick Settings Tile or lockscreen shortcut brings up the older interface, while using the app icon displays the newer, redesigned version.

How does the redesigned Google Wallet differ from the older version?

The redesigned Google Wallet emphasizes a more user-friendly interface, showcasing cards with a smaller “Hold to reader” indicator and adopting a cover flow animation for credit and debit cards. This contrasts with the older version’s large NFC prompt and the side-by-side card display, aiming for a cleaner and more efficient user experience.

Why does Google Wallet show an old design for some access methods?

The appearance of the old Google Wallet design, despite a newer version being available, seems to be a bug affecting Pixel phones. This bug is linked to specific access methods, with the Quick Settings Tile or lockscreen shortcut inadvertently triggering the older user interface.

Can I see both the old and new Google Wallet designs on my Pixel phone?

Yes, it’s possible to view both the old and new designs of Google Wallet side by side by using the Recents multitasking menu on Pixel phones. This unique situation occurs due to a bug that causes the app to revert to the old design when accessed through certain methods, despite the new design being the standard.

This initiative marks Samsung’s previous move to carve out a significant presence in the banking sector, leveraging the Monimo platform—a financial services app introduced by Samsung in April 2022.

Samsung’s Super App Vision

Drawing inspiration from the super app model—popularized by China’s WeChat—Samsung aims to consolidate a myriad of financial services within a single, user-friendly application.

Monimo already offers a suite of financial functionalities, including money transfers, foreign currency exchange, along with real estate and car search and price comparison services exclusively in South Korea.

Despite the innovative services offered by Monimo, it faces stiff competition in a market saturated with similar offerings from commercial banks and fintech platforms, leading to a modest user base compared to its rivals.

Recognizing the challenge, Samsung has reached out to South Korea’s top five banks—KB Kookmin, Woori, Shinhan, Hana, and the online-only K Bank—with a proposal to develop a mobile banking super app based on the Monimo platform

Collaborative Efforts and Future Plans

Samsung’s strategy includes partnerships with startups and fintech companies, offering incentives such as investment opportunities and potential joint ventures through Samsung Venture Investment.

This approach not only aims to elevate the capabilities of the proposed super app but also signifies Samsung’s commitment to innovation and collaboration within the financial tech ecosystem.

Bixby’s AI Evolution

In parallel with its foray into mobile banking, Samsung is also setting sights on advancing its digital assistant, Bixby, by integrating Generative AI capabilities.

This development is spearheaded by Won-joon Choi, the executive vice president of Samsung’s mobile business, who envisions a more intelligent and responsive Bixby.

The incorporation of Generative AI and large language model technology into Bixby is poised to redefine its role and functionality, potentially transforming it into a conversational AI chatbot akin to ChatGPT and Google Gemini.

“With the emergence of generative AI and LLM (large language model) technology, I believe that we have to redefine the role of the Bixby so that Bixby could be equipped with Generative AI and become more smarter in the future,” said Won-joon Choi in an interview with CNBC.

While specific details regarding the AI integration into Bixby remain under wraps, Samsung’s commitment to enhancing its digital assistant with generative AI features is clear.

This initiative reflects Samsung’s broader strategy of leveraging cutting-edge technology to improve user experience across its product and service offerings.

The Samsung Super App is designed to offer convenience by bringing together multiple financial services under one roof. This means users can manage their finances, including money transfers, currency exchanges, and even real estate transactions, without the need to switch between different apps or platforms.

What makes the Samsung Super App different from other banking apps?

Unlike traditional banking apps, the Samsung Super App is based on the Monimo platform and seeks to integrate services beyond basic banking. It positions itself as a super app, akin to China’s WeChat, by offering a wider range of services and aiming to establish a larger user base with its unique features.

How is Bixby being upgraded by Samsung?

FAQs

How does the new TikTok Collaboration Feature work?

The TikTok Collaboration Feature lets creators invite up to five others to collaborate on content. Once someone accepts an invite, the collaborative piece will feature all participants’ names and be shared with their followers, enhancing visibility and engagement. This is akin to Instagram’s collaborative posts, fostering a communal content creation experience.

Can anyone initiate a TikTok Collaboration?

To start a TikTok Collaboration, your account must be set to public, and the post’s privacy settings must also be configured to “Everyone.” This ensures the collaborative content reaches a broad audience. Each creator can extend up to four collaboration invites per month, encouraging selective and meaningful partnerships.

What happens if a creator decides to leave a TikTok Collaboration?

Creators have the option to leave a collaboration if they change their minds. Upon deciding to exit, the content will no longer be displayed on their profile, and they’ll cease to be listed as a collaborator. This flexibility allows creators to manage their participation and content association dynamically.

Are there any restrictions on the TikTok Collaboration Feature?

Yes, TikTok has implemented some restrictions to ensure the feature is used thoughtfully. Creators can only invite up to five collaborators per piece of content and are limited to four invites per month. These measures are likely in place to prevent oversaturation and maintain the quality of content shared across the platform.
