Garena Free Fire Banned in India: Check out what happened!

0

The most trending and popular Battle Royale game Free Fire has suddenly disappeared from the Play Store and App Store. This mysterious removal of the game has left the fans confused and questioned.

As per the sources, the app was unavailable to download since February 12 2022, on both the Play Store and App Store. However, the development has just come after Krafton, the distributor of PUBG Mobile and PUBG Battlegrounds for PC, filed a lawsuit demanding the ban of the game.

In early January, Krafton accused Garena of copying elements and game designs from PUBG Mobile. Furthermore, it also filed a separate lawsuit for Google and Apple, allowing the game to be on their respective app stores. Additionally, Krafton has also accused YouTube, as it allows streamers to showcase Garena Free Fire gameplay on the platform. According to the lawsuit, “Free Fire and Free Fire Max extensively copy numerous aspects of Battlegrounds, both individually and in combination, including Battlegrounds’ copyrighted unique game-opening ‘airdrop’ feature, the game structure and play, the combination and selection of weapons, armour, and unique objects, locations, and the overall choice of colour schemes, materials, and textures.”

It is not yet revealed if the game is down for some upcoming developments or because of the lawsuit, but the disappearance has created a mess in the gaming community. The fans are expecting an official statement from the makers though they did acknowledge login issues in a post on their official Facebook account.

Garena Free Fire gained immense popularity after the ban of the PUBG Mobile in 2022 on security and privacy concerns. Furthermore, the game is so loved by everyone that it has even become the most downloaded mobile game worldwide for December 2021 with close to 24 million installs, representing a 28.2 per cent increase from December 2020, IANS had reported. Although the enhanced version of Free Fire- Free Fire Max is still available on Google Play Store. However, disappointment and despair can be sensed already among the fans.

WhatsApp to add communities, cover photo soon

0

WhatsApp is apparently working on introducing a few additional features to both the regular and business versions of the app. In a future upgrade, the Meta-owned instant messaging service will allow users to build Communities. Group admins will have more control over the new Communities feature, and they will be able to join groups together. Users will be able to set a cover photo for their profile in a future WhatsApp Business update, although the capability may not be available for regular WhatsApp accounts.

WABetaInfo, a site that follows WhatsApp’s progress, has provided an image of the app’s UI that illustrates how WhatsApp Communities would be launched when the feature is released to users. Communities, as shown in the screenshot, will bring all of an admin’s groups together in one area, allowing users to manage them more conveniently. Furthermore, Communities will allow WhatsApp users to communicate with all of their contacts at once.

“It will be possible to reach everyone at once by sending messages to all participants of those groups linked to the community,” the blog site wrote in a post. A similar interface is being developed for WhatsApp’s Android-based app as well.

Another report by WABetaInfo states that WhatsApp Business is getting a new feature that will allow users to upload a cover photo to their profile, similar to Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn. The functionality is presently being developed and may take some time to implement. Regular WhatsApp users, however, may not be able to use the feature, according to the report.

WhatsApp is also working on a feature called Cover Story, which is similar to Communities. Users will be able to choose a cover photo for their profiles with this functionality. According to sources, the corporation intends to add a camera button to the Business Settings. “When other people (including standard WhatsApp user accounts) visit your business profile, they will be able to see your cover photo,” the blog site added. This feature is being developed for WhatsApp’s Android and iOS-based business apps.
