Dating and social networking platform Bumble has launched ‘Night In, a new virtual dating experience where two people can participate in an interactive game over a one-on-one video chat after matching within the app. Bumble’s newest innovative product feature now offers daters in India an opportunity to create more meaningful and deeper connections, expanding the app’s portfolio of existing virtual dating options.

After two people have matched, they have the option to participate in a newly imagined virtual date through ‘Night In’ by clicking the icon within the chat message. After opting for this feature, both parties will receive notifications within the app for their video date. Once both people are within their virtual game room, they will be presented with a virtual game and explanation of rules. Bumble will offer trivia upon launch, and the company plans to expand this feature with new game options and virtual experiences in the near future.

Priti Joshi, VP of Global Strategy and Operations, Bumble, said, “At the beginning of the pandemic, we knew that we were well-positioned to pivot to virtual dating because we already had our Voice Call and Video Chat feature in place. In fact, we recently found that 40% of single Indians claim to opt for virtual dating in 2021. With current restrictions in India, our newest innovations in virtual dating will offer an opportunity for people to engage with each other in a more interesting way and showcase their unfiltered and authentic selves when chatting on Bumble.”

Following the launch of audio notes last year, Bumble has now also launched Video Notes. This feature enables people to send quick videos to each other directly in chat to help break the ice and build deeper conversations. To show their fun side, people can choose to add five Snapchat lenses for their video notes, including Atmosphere, Reactions, and Fox Ears/Tail. This enables people to send quick videos to each other directly in chat to help break the ice and build deeper conversations.

To make video dates easier and more interesting on Bumble, people can also select video calling backgrounds such as a picnic in Paris, a gondola ride in Venice, and a campfire under the stars, among others. These 360-degree backgrounds will imitate being together in real life and will react to your movement. The AR backgrounds will be available in Bumble’s existing video calling feature, allowing people to make their video calls more exciting to kickstart conversations.

In 2019, Bumble became one of the first major dating platforms to introduce in-app video and voice calls. The Voice Call and Video Chat feature allows Bumble’s community to make voice and video calls directly within the app without sharing any personal information, like a phone number or email address. Following the lockdown in March 2020 in India, Bumble’s Voice Call or Video Chat feature had a 38% increase in use, with people spending roughly 20 minutes on average on Video Calls or Voice Chats on Bumble in India.

Huawei’s HarmonyOS empowering new ecosystem of devices: Easier to use and smarter than ever

Huawei recently announced the launch of its latest operating system HarmonyOS 2 to take a dive into interconnected devices. In the new version, HarmonyOS 2 has taken a ‘single kernel across devices approach’ to create a shared ecosystem of different devices, enabling next-generation interconnectivity.

Connectivity is the foundation for building a digital world. HarmonyOS 2 provides a common language for different kinds of devices to connect and collaborate, providing users with a more convenient, smooth, and secure experience. Siloed systems tend to complicate interconnectivity and operations, which have ultimately led to a fragmented user experience.

HarmonyOS is designed to address this problem. Multi-device interaction with HarmonyOS makes working across multiple devices as simple as controlling one. The new Control Panel supports simple and intuitive connections through a drag-and-integrate feature that allows users to freely connect the devices they want based on specific scenarios.

With its Task Center, HarmonyOS allows apps to travel between different devices at will without installing them on each and every one, so that all functions and services are available whenever and wherever they’re needed.

The service widget displays only relevant information on the home screen, ensuring a less overwhelming and more intelligent experience. One application can be simultaneously accessed on different devices or smoothly flow from one device to the next.

Along with the end-users, this ease of transferring activity is also extended to application and developers who can also develop and deploy all hardware options. For developers, HarmonyOS allows cross-platform development and cross-device deployment of apps, making the development of apps across devices easier than ever before.

Furthermore, HarmonyOS 2 has advanced and strengthened its security mechanism which includes multi-device collaborative authentication and multi-device security capability detection, taking data protection to the next level. By ensuring the end-to-end security of HarmonyOS apps, the mechanism makes HarmonyOS a purer and more secure environment.

At the launch event, Huawei announced that over 100 other Huawei devices – including both smartphones and tablets – will be upgraded to run on HarmonyOS 2, giving consumers access to a seamless intelligent experience across multiple devices in all different types of scenarios.

The latest launch resembles a can and comes loaded with intriguing features like Shake and Flip for changing the music track or pausing the track while one is listening to their favourite songs. The device is designed for music junkies and the millennial who wish to flaunt their music.

The newly-launched CAN delivers 5W of audio output. Its battery capacity of 400mAh promises up to 6 hours of backup. It is compatible with all Bluetooth-enabled devices. CAN is available in three attractive colours- Red, Blue and Black.

Telephone search engine and caller ID service provider Truecaller is rolling out new features to further augment the user experience. These new features include Group Voice Calling, Smart SMS and Inbox Cleaner.

All of them are based on user feedback and are designed to cater to the evolving needs of our consumers, said Truecaller in a statement.

With Group Voice Calls, consumers can make cross-border voice calls with up to eight people simultaneously. Smart SMS offers a host of new features designed to make day-to-day communication a lot more convenient. Finally, Inbox Cleaner lets consumers free up space on their phone by removing unused messages.

Rishit Jhunjhunwala, MD India, Truecaller, said, “We continue to remain focused on the evolving needs of our users and meet those needs with innovative solutions. These features get us closer to our mission: to make communication safer and more efficient for everyone. Truecaller has evolved into a powerful communication hub and for the people who wish to use the app to its fullest, these features will greatly add value.”

“With Group voice calling, Smart SMS and Inbox cleaner, I am hopeful that consumers will be able to operate more effectively given the benefits of staying connected, using messaging service smartly to stay on top of important information and lastly inbox cleaner to save the mobile phone from running out of space,” added Jhunjhunwala.

Group Voice Calling

Truecaller Voice Calls have always been free. This enhancement allows users to add up to eight participants to a call while retaining the high voice clarity that Truecaller Voice is known for. Truecaller will also help identify spam users in the group if they were added without the user’s knowledge.

A user will be able to add a new participant to a voice call without adding them to their phonebook. Typically, a user needs to go through the process of saving a contact to add them to a group but with Truecaller, one can skip this tedious process. In an ongoing call, the app will reflect each participant’s city and this will be visible to all people in the call. When initiating a call, Truecaller will also indicate when another user is busy in another call or offline. Importantly, all group voice calls are secured with symmetric encryption. Your calls are between your participants only.

Additionally, the feature offers a smooth dial back option from call logs making it easy to manage the group (including adding or removing participants) when dialling them back.

Smart SMS

Roughly 80% of SMSes one receives daily are from businesses, so SMS apps need to become smarter with filtering out spam and in categorising useful information.

Truecaller uses the same powerful algorithms used to identify spam callers in SMS as well. The SMS intelligence is built into the app itself and it can work offline – nothing leaves your device, including all OTPs, bank SMSes and financial information. Smart SMS is a powerful evolution to the SMS engine that has become even better at filtering out spam, categorizing useful information, reminding you of payments and in general making your SMS inbox a more organised place.

This feature is currently available only to users in India, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa. It will soon be available in the US, Sweden, Malaysia, Indonesia and Egypt.

Inbox Cleaner

Modern smartphones have a lot of storage, so we rarely end up deleting SMSes. Inbox Cleaner helps you clear out all those old, unwanted messages in just a few seconds. No longer will our consumers need to spend time individually selecting SMSes to delete, said Truecaller. A quick tap on Inbox Cleaner from the menu will show you how many old OTPs and spam SMSes you have accumulated and another tap on the ‘clean up’ button will quickly and effectively remove old SMSes without affecting your important data.

On the first run, a typical user can expect to delete hundreds or thousands of messages, potentially freeing up significant storage space as well as providing a faster, cleaner inbox.

This feature is designed to run in the background, allowing users to continue working on other tasks within Truecaller or any other app on the device while Inbox Cleaner works its magic.

Neha Sharma, Co-founder, iGear, said, “The iGear DockMe is a very unique, affordable and multi-brand smartphone charging solution for every home or office.

The dock has all three available types of charging ports – Apple’s proprietary Lightning port and Android-compatible microUSB and Type-C ports. The dock positions the smartphone at a comfortable viewing angle so that it can also be used for work or video calling. Additionally, the dock also rotates around by 360° allowing you to position the smartphone to face in any direction.

The wireless charger, though meant specifically for charging accessories at 5W, can also slow charge most smartphones. Lastly, the dock features a small blue power LED between the dock and the wireless charging pad for visual indication of charging. The iGear DockMe can be powered by any available smartphone charger.

A superb option for gifting too, the iGear DockMe is available in white colour for an introductory price of just Rs 1,500 and comes with a standard industry warranty of 1 year. It’s available on Amazon and Flipkart.
