Xiaomi Band 7 Pro confirmed to feature Always On Display (AOD) support

Xiaomi’s Mi band series dominates the fitness tracker space with its amazing features and affordability. The lineup made a debit in 2014 and has not stopped offering an impressive set of fitness tracking features and that too at crazy affordable prizes. Last year Xiaomi unveiled the Band 6 which was a super upgraded version of the Mi Band 5. It made space for a larger and more vibrant display, a SpO2 sensor, more dedicated workout modes, and better battery life. Now, there’s been some news about its upcoming Mi Ban 7 Pro!

The upcoming band from Xiaomi- Xiaomi Band 7 Pro is expected to take things a step ahead. We already got some news that it will have an even bigger display, Built-in GPS support and a Smart Alam feature. Now it’s confirmed that the band will feature an Always On Display. Here’s all that we know!

Xiaomi Band 7 Pro will feature AOD support( Always On Display)

Coming via a tweet from the reliable tipster, Mukul Sharma, it’s confirmed that the Upcoming Xiaomi Bad 7 pro will have AOD support on board. The brand has also teased the update on its Weibo account. With the AOD support on Band 7 pro, users will now be free from the hassle of lifting their watch to check the time and other notifications. They would be able to get a glance at all the information anytime and anywhere.

 Talking about the design of this latest band, this should be called as the biggest “deformation” since the birth of the Xiaomi smart band. The first band introduced by Xiaomi was an oval which is now changed into a square, equipped with a rectangular screen. Furthermore, the size of the display has also increased dramatically, and the effective display content is also significantly larger, which can bring a lot of new ways to play.

Xiaomi Band 7 Pro: Other features and specs

Coming to more specs of the upcoming Band 7 Pro, the teased images speak a lot of things. The smartwatch will feature an always-on 1.49-inch AMOLED Display. The bezel controls on this one also seem to be very functional and well built.

The latest Xiaomi Band 7 Pro is an upgraded smart band that looks similar to the Redmi’s Smart Band Pro with a more premium metal chassis. Additionally, the design of the always-on display is also accessible in a wide range of options, and it should match the primary market to provide the user with free third-party downloads.

Coming to the fitness features, the Band 7 Pro may share some functionalities with the Redmi Smart Band Pro, especially in the fitness and health tracking department. It will feature a professional sports mode, 24-hour heart rate sleep monitoring with sleep and stress monitoring as well. Users would be able to do things like pressure monitoring, breathing training, PAI vitality index assessment, sedentary reminders, step counting, goal setting, and other functions that replace the generic smartwatches.

Talking about the colour options on Band 7 Pro, the band is expected to come in two colours: Gold and Black. Additionally, the device will be equipped with a quick-release strap design, can be very easy to disassemble the upper and lower strap, and convenient replacement for different styles.

Xiaomi Band 7 Pro: Other features and specs

According to the earlier speculation, the Band 7 Pro may eventually have a battery capacity of 250 mAh, which is 25% larger than the tracker with the Redmi name. On the Pro model, Xiaomi could for the first time provide a standalone GPS connection. As a result, the band will fall into the same category as Zepp’s newly released Amazfit Bip 3 Pro, which has the same feature.

iOS users can now delete their Instagram using the app itself, here's how to do it

Recently, the Meta-owned photo-sharing platform, Instagram, added a new feature that turns your videos into short interesting reels. Now, it has something exclusive for iOS users. Now the iOS users will be able to delete their Instagram accounts straight there from the app.

Instagram did offer users the option to delete their account, but there was a whole procedure to it. The latest feature will allow users to eliminate the hustle of logging in to their web accounts and then repeating the long boring procedure of deleting their Instagram accounts. Now, they can satisfy the introvert urge of being anti-social straight for the week using the app only. Here’s all about the update and how to use it:

iOS users can now delete their Instagram using the app only

Instagram users may now instantly cancel their accounts using the mobile app. The platform did have the option to deactivate the account from the app, but not this one. Hence, to give ease to the users and to comply with the updated terms of Apple Store requirements, Instagram has enabled users to delete their Instagram accounts directly from the app.

According to rumours, Apple’s new Program Store Review Guidelines mandate that any app that provides in-app account creation have a method for users to delete their accounts. Earlier, Instagram users had no delete option within the app. They would have to log in with their desktops and then delete their accounts permanently, which was a whole drown-out procedure.

Talking about the new functionality, a representative from Meta stated, “We want to provide users more options to manage their Instagram experience and use time. We’ve made it possible for you to remove your account using the iOS’ Settings app, however, you may still choose to temporarily disable it first.” Earlier, users had to log in to Instagram using a web browser on a mobile PC in order to delete their accounts permanently. However, things will become easier and more convenient now.

How to delete your Instagram account using the app

The new feature is now available for iOS users. Additionally, it is very simple to do it. Here’s how:

Step2: Tap on the menu coming in the right corner on the top

Step3: Go to setting and scroll down the menu

Step4: From the settings tap on the Account

Step5: Scroll down the screen and you will find the option in the last

And that’s it! This is how you can delete your Instagram using the app itself. If you’re not sure about deleting your account permanently, you can also opt for deactivating for some time.

According to Apple’s support website, “when an account is erased from the app, the company also deletes the account from the developer’s files and any associated data that the developer is not obligated by law to keep. Apps that offer this choice to consumers give them more control over the shared personal data”.
