Apple Watch is the latest addition to the list that has its own unique features due to which it pops up in the news at regular intervals. The latest one being when a 34-year-old woman posted online that the watch was able to detect her pregnancy, even before she was aware of it.

A woman has posted online that the new Apple Watch was able to detect pregnancy even before she had done any clinical tests. Apparently, the watch showed her heartrate at 72 while she claimed that her resting heartrate was 57, and remained constant for more than 15 days, which led her to believe she had Covid-19, only to find that her results were negative.

Once she had a pregnancy test, she found that the results were positive, which led her to realize that the Apple Watch had detected that she was expecting even before she realized it.

This is truly a unique feature for an electronic gadget that can even detect that a woman is pregnant in just the first week even before the woman herself realized it, which will only increase the popularity of Apple Watch.

Microsoft Surface Event Scheduled for October 12, 2022

Microsoft has decided to have a huge Surface event that will start around late October 2022 where many dignitaries of the tech industry will grace the occasion with their presence, which has excited many consumers who’re all hoping that it will be bigger and better than similar events held in the past.

There have been rumours circulating that Microsoft will soon announced many surface devices scheduled for the event, which is all set to be livestreamed on October 12, 2022, on Microsoft’s event website and official YouTube channel and will begin at 7:30pm IST.

The company has refused to divulge any information on the event and only claimed that everyone will ‘talk about devices’, which include the brand new Microsoft Surface series of laptops.

People are most excited about Surface Pro 9, which is expected to go on sale following the conclusion of the event and there are strong speculations that the 2-in-1 model will come in two versions- Intel configuration and Microsoft Arm chip.

Also expected is the Microsoft Surface Go with massive upgrades that will be far more advanced than its predecessors, which includes the tablet acting like a 2-in-1 laptop with a clip-on keyboard.

There were some complaints regarding the design of the previous model, which is why Microsoft might update it to cater to the public’s sentiments as the Pro’s design has remained the same for many years.

WhatsApp Allows Beta Testers for Adding New Users

WhatsApp is arguable the most popular messaging app we have today although the likes of Signal and Telegram are providing significant competition to the decade old platform owned by Meta.

It is to Meta’s credit that WhatsApp has able to sustain itself for more than a decade in such a field where competition and backbiting abound. One big reason for WhatsApp’s continuous popularity are the introduction of new features so as to cater to the tastes of the public.

It is impossible to discern what the public wants and when they might have a change of heart, which is why tech giants have to think far ahead of their time so as to capture the pulse of their audience, which has become more and more fickle since the past years.

The newest addition in the list of WhatsApp features is one where you can add up 1,024 users to the group, which is currently only allowed to beta testers and, as of now, the testing phase is on WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS device but confined to beta testers.

If the recent reports are to be believed, users wanting to check if this feature is available in their WhatsApp account need to add on new participants and create another group to an existing one.

The smart devices were handed over jointly by Mr. Shikhar Dhawan and Mr. Sanmeet Singh Kochhar, which included smartphones, laptops, tablets, among others as these gadgets have become crucial and inseparable part of students’ academics.

Conclusion

There are many students from under-privileged backgrounds that have limited to no access to electronic devices and gadgets as they can’t afford it due to their poverty, which is why both the Shikhar Dhawan Foundation and HMD Global have come together to take this initiative forward.

Speaking for the cause, Shikhar Dhawan says, “Without access to proper smartphone mobiles devices & internet, school going under privileged students are the ones who are suffering the most.

Google Probed by CCI; Tech Giant Allegedly Violates Revenue Sharing Terms

Team My Mobile

October 10, 2022

Highlights

The case will be clubbed with two other ongoing matters against Google
CCI said the allegations are same as that of the previous matter
The complaint has been filed against Alphabet, Google, Google India

What are your thoughts about Google? What is your view on the ongoing Google-CCI issue? Is Google really guilty? Find out.

In Brief

Google is currently in troubled waters as it has come under the radar of the Competition Commission of India (CCI) as the committee members have accused the tech giant of unfair revenue sharing terms with respect to news content.

There are a few other ongoing matters with similar allegations that the renowned search engine is facing and CCI has decided to club them all together and address them one by one as Google India also prepares its own defence.

CCI

This time, the complaint has been filed by the News Broadcasters & Digital Association around January 2022, which prompted CCI to immediately take action against Google by ordering a probe whilst the Indian Newspaper Society came up with a similar complaint and filed it against the search engine due to which both had to be clubbed together.

To make matters worse, Director General (DG), which is the regulator’s probe arm is going to submit a consolidated report regarding the investigation procedure, which doesn’t bode well for Google.

It was through Google Search that the tech giant provided news content to its users along with Google News, which is an aggregator vertical, but the complaint filed is that users can search for news directly or through News tab or receive news through Search Engine Research Page (SERP)s results.

The complaint filed by News Broadcasters and Digital Association is that they’re the ones forced to provide Google with all the news content so that their weblinks can be prioritized in Google’s SERP due to which Google, it alleges, freeloads on the members’ content without giving them adequate compensation.

Others mentioned in the complaint are Alphabet, Google India, Google Ireland, and Google Asia Pacific, as they all have been accused of not compensating in an adequate manner through their revenue distribution.

Conclusion

The CCI is going ahead with the case in a steady manner so that all the parties are provided an equal chance to put forth their opinions and accordingly accuse/defend one another without violating decorum. But it still remains to be seen where this case will head in the coming days.

Facebook Issues Warning to 1 Million Users; User Data in Jeopardy

Team My Mobile

October 10, 2022

Highlights

Google has removed all of these apps from the Play Store
Not all 1 million people necessarily had their passwords compromised
Meta would be sharing tips with victims to prevent this from recurring

What do you think about Facebook? How careful are you when it comes to your online data? Do you fear that your personal details might be jeopardized? Read on.

In Brief

Facebook is one of the most popular social media platforms with billions of users worldwide, a number which continues to grow with each passing day. The Meta-owned platform has become a massive hub for meeting and making new friends aside from learning new things regarding its features.

When it comes to tech giants, Apple, Samsung, Google, and Sony are considered the top guns in the business and when you talk about social media platforms, it is Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, that are the ‘big three’ that were launched within a few months of one another, and were pioneers of the social media revolution in the mid-2000s.

To create a new social media account, you need to first create an id, password, and fill in all the necessary details about yourself like name, date of birth, contact details, etc. to name a few and only then will you be able to login.

However, no matter how tight the security is regarding these social media platforms, there are many unscrupulous elements out there that find some way to breach through their security mechanism and hack into the account of unsuspecting victims.

It seems that the same has happened here as there are reports that Meta is going to notify around 1 million Facebook users that they’re account details and other credentials have been compromised due to security lapses in software stores from Alphabet and Apple.

Meta has revealed that it has identified more than 400 malicious Android and iOS apps in 2022, operated by cybercriminals, that have set innocent internet users and social median handles as their target so that they can steal their login information and use it for their nefarious activities.

The company has leapt into action by informing Google and Apple about the serious issue and facilitated to remove these nefarious apps immediately before they capture Facebook data of the users.

These cybercriminals come up with clever ways to pass off these apps as mobile games, photo editors, health trackers, fitness applications, among others in order to lure unsuspecting or gullible victims into their trap.

45 of the 400 apps have come from Apple’s app store that have been immediately removed by the company while Google too removed the malicious apps that were downloaded from its Play Store.

Once the user downloads any of the devious apps, the scam process would start unfolding by informing them that the app requires Facebook login so as to work beyond basic functionality, which requires the user to give his username and password, thereby tricking him into revealing it.

When the user uploads an edited photo, for example, to their Facebook account, he/she inadvertently ends up compromising his account by giving the app access to his/her profile.

Conclusion

All Meta platforms have been put on high alert as the company does not want to compromise any of them as they all have millions of users who have also shared their credentials to create accounts and this problem will be sorted out soon.

Highlights

Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 may have 1x Prime, 3x Gold, 4x Silver cores
We can expect a small performance bump, improved efficiency
Snapdragon Summit will see the arrival of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC

What do you expect from the Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 chipset? What are the specifications that you’re expecting from it? Find out.

In Brief

Whenever any device from a reputed brand comes out with a new feature, it prompts a slew of discussions and speculations among gadget experts and tech savvy individuals as to what it will be about.

Many of them add their own ideas as to what all we can expect from the feature and whether it will really go with the device in question. While people often discuss about the new features of a smartphone, the features of a chipset are not discussed as much with the same enthusiasm as the features of other devices.

qualcomm snapdragon

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 SoC is going to be the second generation in the Snapdragon 7 series chipset, which is tipped to offer the same set of peak frequencies as the Snapdragon Gen 1 SoC chipset, which can be called its illustrious predecessor.

Ahead of its launch, the specifications of Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 have been leaked online as there are many rumours floating around that Qualcomm is reportedly working on SM7475, which is speculated to be the Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 SoC.

As of now, there have been only a handful of phones that have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chip used in it, which is nothing compared to the popularity of the earlier 700 series chipsets that preceded it.

The CPU will come with a new Tri-Cluster design that’ll have 1x Prime, 3x Gold, and 4x Silver Cores while its core set of frequencies has been revealed by inside sources. According to a reliable source, the prime core will run at around 2.4GHz while the gold core too will run around the same frequency and the silver core will run at around 1.8GHz.

While there are strong speculations that SM7475 is going to be a Gen 2 chipset, the details regarding the actual hardware still remain a mystery but if the speculations going about it are true, then it will use the new core designs.

Conclusion

If there are new cores, it will prove to be a huge improvement in terms of efficiency despite performance taking a small setback because the A715 is 5% faster than A710 while its efficiency is 20%.

The Snapdragon Summit, 2022, will take place in November of that year where Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is also going to be introduced to the general public while the 7 series chip will be introduced at a new venue.

Twitter Encourages Users to Share Tweets; Details Inside

Team My Mobile

October 10, 2022

Highlights

Twitter users on iOS taking screenshots may be prompted to share tweets
It is said to be developed to increase engagement on Twitter
Twitter is yet to roll out the feature to all users

What are your thoughts on Twitter? How often do you share tweets online?

Brief Summary

Twitter is a huge and the oldest social media platform that originated around 2006 along with YouTube and Facebook, and there was a time when these three had the millions of users that were completely addicted to it.

Even today you will find many people spending more time online in these social media platforms rather than outside. People have become so confined to the trappings of the virtual world that they forget that there is a real world that they really exist in.

Today, Twitter has more than 230 million users across the globe where people share and receive information via tweets/retweets, likes, and shares. Although, there are a significant number of people that believe that Twitter is a highly unhealthy place inhabited by toxic people (or trolls) that constantly spread filthy abuses to people they disagree it.

However, the Twitter subscribers continue to increase with each passing day for which a big reason goes to Twitter coming out with interesting updates regarding the platform that caters’ to their subscriber base, which encourages other people without a Twitter account to subscribe on to the platform immediately.

A popular pastime for many users is to take screenshots of tweets and images. Some find screenshots useful as they feel it can be used against the person, a celebrity or politician or anyone they disagree with, whenever he/she makes a contradictory statement or does a complete volte face regarding any subject/topic, which mostly involves politicians.

Twitter has been detecting many screenshots on the app due to which it has advised users to share a link to the Tweet instead of a screenshot, which many users have obliged by promptly copying the tweet’s link or sharing the tweet with their followers and other users via share menu.

This is a new feature that Twitter has decided to come up for its users so that engagement improves on the platform, which comes a few weeks before Elon Musk takes over the platform, for which there will be a court hearing on October 16, 2022, about the same.

Twitter has confirmed that this new feature is part of a limited iOS test so that there is an increased amount of engagement on the platform, although spotting a tweet on a screenshot necessitates visiting Twitter’s official website or app and searching for the tweet or the username of the individual who tweeted it.

Twitter users are allowed to share tweets directly on their Instagram stories but people that view the story cannot tap or use the shared tweet to gain access to it on Twitter website or app.

Conclusion

This is a very unique feature that Twitter has come out with and might not be liked by certain users especially those who’re active on Instagram as they might become disappointed that they won’t be able to go directly to the tweet via Instagram stories but the fact that users are now allowed to copy links of the tweets and share directly to others is something that others will love.

Xiaomi India Rubbishes Ugly Rumours; Details Inside

Team My Mobile

October 10, 2022

Highlights

Xiaomi has denied speculation it might shift India operations to Pakistan
The company is being probed by the ED, which has frozen its funds
Xiaomi is accused of making illegal remittances to foreign entities

What are your views on Xiaomi’s products? Which are your favourite devices from the company?

In Brief

Xiaomi is one of the biggest tech giants in the world that has a lot riding upon its shoulders, which is only to be expected considering its stature and reputation in the global market.

The China-based company has come out with one excellent device after another in the past few years since its inception in 2010. It is well known that India is one of the biggest export markets for tech industries, which is why many of them also have their outlets in the country, including Xiaomi.

Xiaomi India has rolled out outstanding gadgets over the past years and most of them have been well received by the Indian users, which is why the increase in demand has increased their supply and that too in large numbers.

Xiaomi India

However, every big company has to go through a rough patch after tasting success and the same is happening with Xiaomi India as it has come under the radar of the Enforcement Directorate (ED), whose authorities immediately froze their funds and assets on account of an alleged violation of the Foreign Exchanges Management Act (FEMA) rules.

The ED has frozen assets worth Rs.5,500 crore in April 2022 citing financial irregularities that violated the FEMA act, thereby prompting Xiaomi India to appeal for relief in the Karnataka High Court, which was immediately denied and has crossed more turmoil for the company.

In the midst of all this, to make matters worse, there are strong rumours that are circulating that Xiaomi India might shift its operational base to Pakistan after ED froze its assets.

Given the present situation of India-Pakistan relations, this news will only add fuel to the fire as Xiaomi India stands to be ostracized by the citizens. The South Asia Index tweeted their claim that the Chinese company will move its operational base to the country that is currently under the FATF grey list and in the worst financial condition than any other.

However, Xiaomi India immediately dismissed the speculations of the South Asia Index by claiming them as ‘completely false and baseless’ so as to prevent making things worse for the company.

It clarified further that it had joined the ‘Make In India’ initiative of the Modi Government upon entering the Indian market in 2014 where, it claimed, that nearly 99% of their smartphones and smart TVs were assembled in India.

This clarification by Xiaomi India is a mere 24 hours after its appeal was rejected by the Karnataka High Court, which cited that while the company is being probed by ED regarding fraudulent remittances it made to foreign entities by passing them off as royalty payments, there can be no relief for the company whatsoever.
