The ban imposed by the Indian Army on the usage of 89 smartphone applications, including social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, since June last year, has been highly successful. Of the 1.3 million strong Indian Army, only eight personnel were found to have violated the ban.

According to some media reports, at least 730 Army officers have been authorised to enforce the ban which came into effect last year, on July 15. The apps included 59 Chinese apps banned by the government for general public. But strikingly, the Army also banned the usage of common apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Ella, Snapchat, PubG, Messenger, TrueCaller, anti-virus 360 Security, Tinder, Tumbler, Reditt, Hungama, Songs.pk, Cam Scanner, Ok Cupid, Daily Hunt, and others. Most of the applications are American and Chinese.

Following the violence face-off between India and China along the Line of Actual Control in Eastern Ladakh last year, the Army imposed the ban to prevent cyber attacks, illegal accumulation of digital data and leakage of sensitive information. In last few years, several cases of Army personnel were discovered where they were honey-trapped on Facebook resulting in leakage of sensitive information related to the Indian military and the government.

Though the Army had been issuing several directives on the use of Facebook for personal life and WhatsApp for official work, but only in June last year, it made stringent rules for the violations.

The ban has been enforced by seeking undertakings from each soldier and officer across the country, that they have deleted their accounts and they have not installed any of the applications on their phones.

Homegrown digital financial services platform Paytm today announced that its Enterprise Bill Payment System (EBPS), part of Paytm Payouts is set to cross Rs 3,000 crores in transactions by the end of FY’21. EBPS enables businesses to manage and pay all their utility bills generated across a large number of business locations on a single unified platform.

With Paytm Payouts, businesses can make bulk payments to bank accounts, UPI addresses, Paytm wallets, gift vouchers and other employee benefits like food allowance instantly. It provides 24*7 payment options to transfer any amount and hence benefits companies and their finance department to manage their cash flows better and all kinds of payables including rent payments, vendor invoices, customer cashbacks and refunds, channel partner incentives, utility bill payments or employee reimbursements.

EBPS is the only integrated utility bill management service for businesses in India, enabling companies to monitor all the bills of their shops, offices and warehouses. It comes with a hassle-free reconciliation system and automatically fetches new bills as they are generated. It also provides custom reports based on business locations, which can be easily integrated with the enterprise resource planning and financial reporting systems of businesses. It also provides various other options including the capability to set up custom approval workflows to make approvals and follow-ups from various business departments easier and configure bill payment reminders or automatic payment instructions. Paytm Payouts is partnering with major companies in sectors including retail, banking, logistics, among others to expand the service.

Manual processing of bills leads to companies often ending up missing payments. Businesses also must keep a retinue of staff engaged in the payment and reconciliation of bills. EBPS enables businesses to cut down on their administrative costs, increase operational efficiency and save on the bill amounts by avoiding penalties and unlocking early payment discounts. EBPS empowers companies to save on their bill by unlocking remunerations from electricity providers in the form of reward schemes for early and timely payment. The service automatically calculates the amount users must pay as well as the amount of money they save. It enables swift payments by allowing users to easily filter bills depending on the business location, due dates, bill providers etc. Companies can avail the service by submitting their details on the Paytm for Business Enterprise Bill Payments website.

Saloni Malhotra, Vice President – Paytm, said, “We aim to empower companies large and small with 360-degree solutions that help them run their businesses more efficiently. Instead of spending their time and effort on the exercise of managing bill payments, EBPS offers companies the chance to cut costs and focus on their business growth. We expect this service to process Rs 3,000 crore worth of utility bills paid by companies in the current financial year.”

Paytm Payouts is driven by a powerful API that can be integrated with any platform, thereby eliminating the need for companies to invest time and resources to build their platform. Businesses can also deposit money directly from any bank account to process any payment. The feature-rich and simple to use service is enabling several companies to pay salaries, food allowances, incentives, rewards to housekeeping and other contractual staff.

Earlier it was disclosed that the upcoming smartphone of OnePlus will feature cameras with the partnership with Leica, however, the new leaks suggest otherwise!

According to a new leak by a Tech YouTuber Dave Lee, the company has no such partnership with the German Camera company for the upcoming OnePlus 9 Series, in fact, the new live photos of the OnePlus 9 Pro has surfaced and they show a Hasselblad branding on the camera housing!

OnePlus is not the only company to partner with Hasselblad, Motorola actually did a few years ago with the launch of a Moto Z Camera Mod that was made in partnership with the Swedish camera manufacturer.

As per the leaks, the OnePlus 9 Pro is seen in Silver Grey color, with a curved display with a punch hole and a curved glass back that is home to a quad-camera setup. The rear cameras include two large sensors atop each other and two small ones positioned side by side. The camera housing is also home to the LED flash, laser focus system, and a small hole with a grille which we believe has a microphone inside it. The images confirm that the OnePlus 9 Pro will truly not feature a periscope camera lens as all the sensors are round.

There is a USB-C port at the bottom and it is flanked by the SIM tray and speaker grille on each side. The images also show that the OnePlus 9 Pro also has its frame curved around the Alert Slider and power button on the right side.

Some other images show some of the phone’s specifications. The display settings reveal the OnePlus 9 Pro has a QHD+ display with a resolution of 3120 x 1440. Users will be able to choose if they want to set the display resolution to QHD+ or FHD+ (2340 x 1080) or have the phone automatically switch to the appropriate resolution to save battery. We also see that the phone has a 120Hz refresh rate and users can switch between that and the 60Hz standard.

The OnePlus 9 series is expected to launch this quarter. There will be a total of three models – the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro, and a third model called the OnePlus 9 Lite.

Jabra has announced three new features on the Jabra Elite 85t, made available via the Jabra Sound+ app; MyFit, headset renaming and Off-mode to earbud toggle.

The MyFit feature on the Sound+ app allows Elite 85t users to confirm their correct EarGel size and position to optimize their ANC and audio experience.

This is the first software upgrade offered to Elite 85t users following the launch in December 2020, that adds features to the earbud.

The feature works as a fit test where a 6.5 seconds multitone is played to check for sound leakage with the help of the in-ear microphone. Sound leakage detected in either earbud is an indication of a poor fit, and users will be requested to readjust their earbud or change their EarGel size. The process can be repeated until a good fit is achieved.

Through providing this feature, Jabra is ensuring that users of the Elite 85t have the best seal possible, ultimately giving the users an enhanced audio experience, improved active noise cancellation and deeper base.

The next feature being offered to Elite 85t users is related to the sound mode cycles available (controlled via the buttons on the earbuds), which adds to the previously available cycle options; HearThrough and ANC. With this addition, users will now be able to cycle between HearThrough, ANC and off.

Jabra has now expanded the cycle option on the earbud to become the same as the cycle option in the app.

Finally, Elite 85t users will now also have the option to name their headset. This addition will change the name of their headset in both the Sound+ app and the Bluetooth list.
