iOS 17

HIGHLIGHTS

* Passkey support works anywhere you can use your Apple ID.
* Apple ID is automatically assigning a passkey for login purposes.
* Apple ID passkey support will work on both Apple and non-Apple devices.
* Starting with iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma, users with an Apple ID will automatically be assigned a passkey.
* This passkey can be used to sign in to their Apple ID on the web.
* iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma are currently in the developer’s beta testing phase.

Apple is one of the big tech companies that see passkeys as the future of logging into websites and apps. It has been offering support for passkeys for quite some time and has now expanded the same to Apple ID.

Yes, you read that right. The Cupertino-based tech giant has released passkey support for Apple IDs with the latest iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma beta builds. The good thing is that it will work on both Apple and non-Apple devices.

iOS 17

Apple has announced that starting with iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma, users with an Apple ID will automatically be assigned a passkey. This passkey can be used to sign in to their Apple ID on the web.

Apple says that this change will allow users to sign into any Apple web property using the designated passkey for their Apple ID and it can be used with Sign in with Apple on the web. iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma are currently in the developer’s beta testing phase and a public release is expected to take place next month.

Apple Passkey on iOS 17, iPadOS, and macOS Sonoma

iOS 17

* Users running beta versions of iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma can test it on iCloud.com and appleid.apple.com starting today.
* This will be available for all supported devices running on the latest Apple software later this year.
* Security is one of the major strengths of Apple and this works across all devices, including iPhone, iPad, MacBooks and others as well.
* This Passkey will eliminate the need for a password when signing into various web-based Apple pages.
* Apple users have relied on their Apple ID and password to log in to Apple websites like Apple Store, iCloud and others. 
* This made the accounts vulnerable to threats such as phishing and hacking as passwords are often stolen.
* Users can now replace Passkeys with Face ID or Touch ID to authenticate the login pages of Apple pages as well.

Passkeys are Much More Secure

iOS 17

Passkeys are much more secure compared to passwords, according to Apple. “A passkey is a cryptographic entity that’s not visible to you, and it’s used in place of a password. A passkey consists of a key pair, which—compared to a password—profoundly improves security.

One key is public, registered with the website or app you’re using. The other key is private, held only by your devices,” Apple explained in a post.

There are reports suggesting that Apple Passkey support will be expanded to third-party apps and websites that support the “Sign-in with Apple” feature. The timeline for this is not clear at the moment.

Passkey Support for Apple ID in Beta Testing

iOS 17

Apple has reportedly expanded passkey support to Apple IDs with the current iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonomo beta versions.

It means beta testers of these software builds can now sign into their Apple IDs without entering the password.

iOS 17

It is found to be working on Apple websites like iCloud.com, apple.com, appleid.apple.com, and apple.com/shop/bag.

It is safe to assume by the team Apple releases stable software builds, the feature should work across all websites that offer the option of signing in with Apple ID. As for what is the passkey, Apple ID is said to be generating and assigning it to your account automatically.

What is Passkey?

iOS 17

Per Apple, a passkey consists of a key pair where one key is public and another key is private. The public key is registered with the website/app you are using and the private key is held only by your device.

Since a public key is unique for each website/app and the private key always stays on your device, a passkey is considered to be a more secure way of logging into websites as compared to passwords.

A user does not have to create or remember a passkey which makes it convenient to use as well. You can read our explainer on passkeys to know about them in detail.

How to Use Passkey with Apple ID?

iOS 17

The first step is to ensure that you are running the latest iOS 17 beta or macOS Sonoma beta. Next, you need to visit an Apple website that allows signing in with your Apple ID.

Enter your registered email address and you should see a new “Sign in with iPhone” button alongside the existing option of entering the password.

iOS 17

Click on this new button and you will see a QR code. Scan the code using your iPhone and then authenticate yourself via Face ID or Touch ID.

This way, you will be able to sign in without entering the password. It is important to note that since the feature is currently in beta testing, the user experience may not be smooth and it could actually be a hit or miss based on the device you are using.

Apple IDs now support passkeys — if you’re on the iOS 17 or macOS Sonoma betas

iOS 17

It appears that passkeys are now supported for Apple IDs, but only if you have the first beta for iOS 17 (or iPadOS 17 or macOS Sonoma).

Beta users of Apple’s operating systems then have the ability to sign in anywhere that supports signing in with your Apple ID — covering not only Apple.com and icloud.com, but also anywhere else your Apple account is linked to — sans passwords, using just the biometrics on their iPhone or MacBook and a dream.

It works anywhere that supports signing in with your Apple ID. For example, if I want to sign in to Reddit and look at my favorite John Oliver-themed subreddits, I can tap the “Continue with Apple” button on the sign-in screen, and I’ll be given the option to sign in by scanning a QR code with my iPhone.

The feature appears to work on any Apple device — I was able to use a passkey successfully in Chrome, Safari, and Arc. When trying on a Windows PC in Chrome, the same “Sign in with iPhone” button showed up, but the request timed out when I scanned the QR code. On an Android phone, I didn’t see the button at all.

Once you’ve created the passkey on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, it syncs across all of your Apple devices, letting any of them use the biometric logins set up on that system to sign in with your Apple ID.

Since passkeys aren’t exclusively the domain of Apple, once it’s fully launched, you should be able to generate them on non-Apple devices for passwordless sign-in with your Apple ID, too, using Android or Windows using either the Chrome or Edge browser, which each support passkeys.

iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma Add Passkey Support to Your Apple ID

Starting with iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma, users with an Apple ID will automatically be assigned a passkey, allowing them to sign into their Apple ID with Face ID or Touch ID instead of their password on various Apple sign-in pages, including icloud.com, appleid.apple.com, appstoreconnect.apple.com, and more.

Passkeys are a more secure alternative to passwords. Apple explains:
A passkey is a cryptographic entity that’s not visible to you, and it’s used in place of a password.

A passkey consists of a key pair, which—compared to a password—profoundly improves security.

One key is public, registered with the website or app you’re using. The other key is private, held only by your devices.

Passkey support for Apple IDs will also be available for third-party apps and websites that support the “Sign in with Apple” feature.

Users running beta versions of iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma can test this functionality on supported Apple sign-in pages starting today, but it does not yet appear to be available for everyone.

All users with an Apple ID will be able to sign in with a passkey once the software updates are released to the public later this year.

Passkey support on the Apple ID page was spotted earlier by Twitter user @aaronp613.

Faqs

1) What are passkeys?

Ans) Passkeys can replace traditional passwords with your device’s own authentication methods. That way, you can sign in to Gmail, PayPal, or iCloud just by activating Face ID on your iPhone, your Android phone’s fingerprint sensor, or with Windows Hello on a PC.

Built on WebAuthn (or Web Authentication) tech, two different keys are generated when you create a passkey: one stored by the website or service where your account is and a private key stored on the device you use to verify your identity.

Of course, if passkeys are stored on your device, what happens if it gets broken or lost? Since passkeys work across multiple devices, you may have a backup available. Many services that support passkeys will also reauthenticate to your phone number or email address, or to a hardware security key if you have one.

Meanwhile, other services like Gmail won’t let you completely remove the password from your account yet, just in case. Apple and Google’s password vaults already support them, and so do password managers like 1Password and Dashlane. 1Password has also created an online directory listing services that allow users to sign in using a passkey.

2) Apple ID supports passkeys on iOS 17, iPad OS 17, and macOS Sonoma. Here’s how to test it out?

Ans) Apple is automatically assigning a passkey to users with the latest software updates announced at WWDC 2023.

The iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma updates will enable users to sign into their Apple ID on the web with a passkey instead of a password. Apple has been making moves towards using passkeys as a more secure method of accessing your accounts.

Unlike a traditional password that can be easily stolen or hacked, a passkey is a unique key that’s tethered to your device. Instead of typing in a password, a passkey authenticates your identity through a pin code or biometric scan like Face ID that’s already associated with your device.

Now, instead of trying to remember yet another password, you can sign into Apple web sites with a passkey. Apple ID passkeys also work with any site that is linked to your Apple ID, so you might see this option on other sites that have the option to login with Apple.

The latest software updates are currently in developer beta, which is free to install. But if you don’t want to deal with beta-related bugs, the passkey feature will be available when iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma are publicly released later this year. If you have the developer beta, here’s how to try it out using iOS 17.

Install the developer beta

For the first time, Apple has made developer betas free and available to everyone, instead of requiring a $99 membership to the Developer Program. For a quick primer on how to install iOS 17, take a look at this guide.

Passkeys are available to test out on Apple’s cloud storage site iCloud, and the Apple ID site, which lets you access Apple services like Messages, FaceTime, the App Store, and the Apple Store from the web. Click sign in to get started, and enter your Apple ID.

Choose ‘Sign in with iPhone’

Once you’ve entered your Apple ID, you’ll be prompted with an option to enter your password or sign in with your iPhone. As you’ll see here, this option says it requires iOS 17 or later.

Scan the QR code

Choosing this option generates QR code. With the device that has iOS 17 installed, scan the QR code and tap the link that says “Sign in with a passkey.”

Sign in with Face ID

On your iPhone, a window will pop up prompting you to sign in with Face ID. Click continue. Behind the scenes, Apple is generating a unique code that authenticates your device and connects it to your Apple ID. From here, you’ll be signed in without the need to enter a password.

3) iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma automatically generates Apple ID passkeys, now available on Apple․com and iCloud․com

Ans) You can now forgo entering your password on icloud.com and apple.com domains thanks to newly added passkey support. When running iOS 17 on an iPhone, any Apple site on the web can rely instead on Face ID or Touch ID to authenticate your login.
As part of iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma, your Apple ID is automatically assigned a passkey that can be used for iCloud and Apple sites.

If you’re running iOS 17 on your iPhone, you can try it out now. Just go to any sign-in page with an apple.com or icloud.com domain, like appleid.apple.com or www.apple.com/shop/bag, and look for the Sign in with iPhone button after your enter your Apple ID email address.

We’ve tried this from Safari on the Mac, although you can use passkeys on non-Apple devices as well. Once you select Sign in with iPhone, a QR code is presented that you scan with your iPhone. If you scan the QR code from the Camera app, you can tap the yellow link box to invoke Face ID or Touch ID to authenticate your identity on the web without ever entering your password.

Passkey is an industry-wide effort to create a more secure authentication system for our digital lives. Password best practices include using strong, unique passwords for every digital account, but passkeys provide a simpler method that relies on your smartphone to authenticate your account credentials.

“Based on FIDO Alliance and W3C standards, passkeys replace passwords with cryptographic key pairs,” explains Apple. “These key pairs profoundly improve security.”

HIGHLIGHTS

1. Realme Pad 2 might launch very soon.
2. The budget Android tablet has been spotted on the FCC and BIS websites.
3. The device will pack a much bigger battery than the outgoing model.
4. Realme Pad 2 has received BIS certification
5. It has been previously spotted at the Bluetooth SIG certification
6. It may launch in a couple of weeks in India

Realme Pad 2 India launch seems imminent. The reason behind it is that the tablet has received approval from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in India.

Last month, the device was approved by the Bluetooth SIG authority. These certifications suggest that the Realme Pad 2’s launch could be a couple of weeks away.

Realme Pad 2

To recall, Realme entered the tablet market in India by announcing the Helio G80-powered Realme Pad in September 2021. Last year, in April, the company unveiled the Realme Pad Mini with the Unisoc T616 chipset onboard.

In May 2022, the Realme Pad X was made official as the company’s first-ever 5G-enabled tablet. Let’s take a closer look at the limited information available about the upcoming Realme Pad 2, which has been revealed through its BIS and Bluetooth SIG certifications.

Realme Pad 2

Realme is working on the launch of the Pad 2. The upcoming Realme tablet will be a budget offering in various markets. It will debut as a successor to the Realme Pad, which was launched last year in India and some other markets.

Realme has not confirmed any details about the launch date of the tablet. However, it looks like the launch is imminent as the Pad 2 has visited the FCC certification website.

Realme Pad 2

The listing on FCC confirms some key details about the upcoming Android tablet from Realme. It reveals the battery specifications and fast charging details of the budget tablet.

Let’s take a look at the Realme Pad 2 specifications, features and other details revealed ahead of the launch.

Realme Pad 2: FCC Listing Hints at an Imminent Launch

Realme Pad 2

The Realme Pad 2 will take on the upcoming Redmi Pad 2, which is rumoured to launch soon. The Realme tab has visited the FCC website ahead of its launch. According to the listing on FCC, the Pad 2 has the model number RMP2205.

It reveals many details about the device. For starters, the tablet will pack a beefy 8360mAh battery under the hood. The battery capacity is much more than the original Realme Pad, which packed a 7100mAh cell.

Realme Pad 2

The FCC listing further revealed that the Pad 2 has support for 33W fast charging out of the box. This again will be an upgrade over the outgoing model’s 18W fast charging support.

In addition to the battery specs, the FCC listing reveals that the Pad 2 will support Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity. It also shows a design schematic of the tablet, which has curved corners and a circular cutout at the top left corner for the rear camera setup.

Realme Pad 2

We expect the budget Android tablet to feature a single rear camera.

The Pad 2 has also been spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification website with the model numbers RMP2204 and RMP2205. It does not reveal any specs but hints at an imminent launch of the tablet in India.

The device is likely to get some more upgrades other than the battery and charging tech. We can expect the tablet to sport a slightly taller display and feature an upgraded chip over the outgoing model.

Realme Pad 2

The Realme Pad came with a 10.4-inch LCD with a 2000×1200 resolution and 360 nits of brightness. It featured a MediaTek Helio G80 SoC with up to 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

The Android tablet features an 8MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera. It also offered a quad-speaker setup and came in two variants — Wi-Fi and LTE. It would not be a surprise if the Pad 2 also offers the same connectivity options.

Lastly, we can expect the Pad 2 to boot Android 13 out of the box and have a layer of Realme UI for Pad on top.

The company is likely to announce the launch date of the upcoming Android tablet soon. We will share more details as and when available.

Realme Pad Specifications

Realme Pad 2

The Realme Pad has a 10.41-inch IPS LCD panel that offers a resolution of 1,200 x 2,00 pixels, a 5:3 aspect ratio, and 360 nits of brightness. The Helio G80-powered device comes with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of native storage.

It houses a 7,100mAh battery that supports 18W charging. The tablet is equipped with an 8-megapixel front camera, an 8-megapixel rear camera, and quad speakers.

The Realme Pad was made available in Wi-Fi-only and 4G LTE variants. It was priced at Rs 13,999 at launch.

Realme Pad 2 Tablet Gets Certified: When Is India Launch?

Realme Pad 2

The Realme Pad 2 has been spotted at the Bureau of Indian Standards. The next-generation Android tablet has cleared its certification via BIS with two different model numbers including RMP2204 and RMP2205.

The Realme Pad 2 tablet’s BIS certification listing has been first spotted by TheTechOutlook.

The dual model numbers suggest the company could launch two different versions of the Realme Pad tablet. One could be the sole Wi-Fi-only model, while the other could be the Wi-Fi+ LTE model.

Realme Pad 2

This isn’t the first time we got came across the developments surrounding the Realme Pad 2 tablet. Previously, it cleared certification via Bluetooth SIG. Both RMP2203 and RMP2205 model numbers were listed at the Bluetooth SIG certification website.

The BIS certification listing of the Realme Pad 2 tablet only reveals the model number and not the hardware features. However, the Bluetooth SIG website listing revealed Bluetooth 5.3 wireless network support in addition to the model number.

Realme Pad 2

While the Realme Pad 2 tablet has started getting certified via different mobile authentication websites, there is no exact date announced for its launch.

We only are certain of its upcoming India debut in the coming months. Realme could introduce the Pad 2 tablet by the end of 2022, but this is just anticipation.

Ans) An upcoming Redmi phone with model number 23078RKD5C has been approved by the 3C authority in China. The fast charging capabilities that have been revealed through the certification suggest that it could be the upcoming Redmi K60 Ultra.

Redmi K60 Ultra 3C certification

As per the 3C certification, the Redmi 23078RKD5C phone will possibly ship with an MDY-14-ED charger. The said charger supports up to 120W fast charging.

The “2307” numbers in the model code are a good hint that the device is planned to launch in July in China. Apart from these details, the 3C certification has no other information about its specifications.

Redmi K60 Ultra specifications (rumoured)

The Redmi K60 Ultra reports have revealed that it will be equipped with an OLED panel that offers a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. It will be equipped with the Dimensity 9200 Plus, which also powers the iQOO Neo 8 Pro and the upcoming Vivo X90s.

The K60 Ultra is said to house a larger battery and an impressive main camera. There is a possibility that the device could be equipped with a 108-megapixel or a 200-megapixel camera. Hopefully, the rumour mill will shed more light on its specifications in the coming days.

The K60 Ultra will be the fourth and probably last K60 series phone. The lineup already includes other models, such as the Redmi K60, K60e, and K60 Pro.

2) Redmi K60 Ultra gets listed on 3C certification, revealing the 120W fast charging.Details?

Redmi K60 Ultra might feature MediaTek Dimensity 9200 and an OLED display with whopping 144 Hz refresh rate.

Faqs

1) How To Use The Yoga App On The Apple Watch To Track Your Practice?

Ans) Yoga is an ancient Indian exercise that can offer profound positive effects on the physical and mental aspects of the human.
In a fast-paced world, it has become hard for people to maintain a balance of mind and body positivity. Here, Yoga can help people get over stress and fatigue.

People need not have to go to physical classes to do Yoga, as there are several mobile and watch apps to do them, but very few are good.

So, as we mark the International Day of Yoga (June 21), we have tips on how to make good use of the Apple Watch to do Yoga and perform meditation for mental wellness, the right way.

Apple Watch comes with an in-built feature to track Yoga and also with the Mindfulness feature, he/she can perform breathing exercises too.

Under the “Workout App”, users can select Yoga as an activity while performing their workout. It can track all types of yoga sessions from restorative to power vinyasa flow.

“In the present world, where everyone is losing touch with reality and grounding, Yoga plays an important role in synchronising the mind, body and breath and externally synchronising us with mother nature. The watch’s yoga and workout tracking capabilities have allowed me to monitor my progress and provide personalised feedback to my students. The watch’s reminders to stand and move have also been a helpful reminder to keep my body active throughout the day,” said Samiksha Shetty, Co-Founder, The Moon Village Wellness.

“One of the features I love the most is the mindfulness app that encourages breathing exercises and meditation. It has helped me to manage my stress levels and stay grounded in my own practice. Overall, the Apple Watch has enhanced my personal practice and allowed me to be a better teacher and motivator for my students. I highly recommend it to any fitness enthusiast or instructor looking to track and improve their daily practice, ” added Samiksha Shetty.

2) How the Garmin Fenix 6 Can Improve Your Yoga Practice—And Rest Days.Details?

Ans) We all know what calmness feels like: That sense of peace and relaxation that often comes after a yoga class or quiet meditation. But there hasn’t been a clear way to quantify exactly how much calmer an hour of asana or mindful quiet can help you feel—until you try the Garmin Fenix 6 Pro.

A supercomputer on your wrist, the watch can tell you exactly how much more calm you are after your yoga practice by giving you a stress level score, respiration rate, and heart rate data—valuable information that can improve your quality of life.

The watch also tracks other health data to help you feel your best. It measures daily resting heart rate so you can gain understanding of what’s normal. Using this number as a baseline, it sends abnormal heart rate alerts, and tracks your stress levels. If these measurements suggest that you’re feeling overwhelmed, the watch sends you relaxation reminders and a breathing timer to help you come back down to baseline. The Garmin Fenix 6 Pro also has a sleep score and insights feature which tells you exactly how rested, replenished, and recharged you are (or aren’t) when you wake up from a nap, sleep, or a deep meditative state.

Your heart rate variability, stress level, sleep quality, and activity data are all gathered into a feature called the Body Battery. Like a gas gauge on a car, your battery level tells you how much reserve energy is in your tank, from 0 to 100. The more energy you have, the better you’ll likely feel.

Further, if you have plans to go to somewhere at a higher altitude than where you live, the built-in pulse oximeter senses how well your body is absorbing oxygen and how acclimatized you are to the elevation.

Using the Garmin Fenix 6 to get the most out of your practice
You know how practicing yoga can make you feel 10 years younger? The fun fitness age feature built into the Garmin Fenix 6 Pro can actually substantiates your claims. Based on how well your body responds to exercise—and yoga is a trackable activity like running, swimming, and golf—it gives you an idea of how your fitness compares with a person of the same sex, using information like age, body mass index (BMI), resting heart rate data, and vigorous activity history.

The activity trackers can also help you understand your practice on an entirely different level. While you practice, your watch is silently taking note of your heart rate zones so you can see how hard your body is working over the course of your practice. You may start in zone 1 at 50-60 percent of your maximum heart rate, spend 5 minutes in zone 3 at 70-80 percent of your maximum heart rate while holding a peak posture, and then come all the way back down to zone 1 again while you lie in Savasana.

You can even follow along to animated workouts directly on the watch face. With over 40 available workouts, including yoga and Pilates, you can get over 40 classes with the touch of a button.

And whether you have a home practice or commute to the studio, the Garmin Fenix 6 Pro can store over 2,000 songs and sync with bluetooth-compatible headphones so you can listen to music as you flow, no phone required.

Take it outside

If you prefer walking meditations to seated ones, the Garmin Fenix 6 Pro can help make them safer. You can download maps to your watch which guides you as you stroll, plus it offers breadcrumb tracking so if you happen to get off-trail for any reason, you can follow your footsteps to get you back on track.

This watch can even save your life. As long as you have cell service, if the device senses an accident such as a fall, it will automatically send a message to your emergency contacts through the Garmin Connect app on your phone to get you the help you need.
In a nutshell, the Garmin Fenix 6 Pro is one of the most powerful smartwatches on the market. Think of any sport or activity and this watch can help you perform at your best. Whether you prefer slower, more restorative yoga classes or you’re a triathlete that enjoys supplementing your training with vinyasa flows, this watch can help you rest, train, and recover to the max.

SNAPCHAT’S RESEARCH UNEARTHS INDIA’S TOP NICKNAMES AND UNVEILS TWO UNIQUE AUGMENTED REALITY LENSES

Snapchat+

Highlights

● Two out of three people believe nicknames are integral to being Indian
● Sonu, Babu, Macha, Shona, and Pinky are amongst India’s most popular nicknames
● 96% of Indians have had at least one nickname in their lives

Snapchat, the visual messaging app for friends and family, has today released a new research in partnership with YouGov on Indian nickname culture, uncovering a national fascination with nicknames.

The research reveals some of the most popular nicknames in the country which are Sonu, Babu, Macha, Shona, and Pinky, in addition to unearthing some interesting insights into the unique subculture of nicknaming.

SNAPCHAT'S

This study also inspired two new Nickname-themed Augmented Reality (AR) Lens on Snapchat – ‘India’s Top Nicknames’ and ‘My Nickname’.
This first interactive AR Lens called ‘India’s Top Nicknames’ includes five bespoke designs featuring India’s favourite nicknames. Not only that, for the first time Indians can customize the ‘My Nickname’ lens to create their very own nickname.

From Guddu, Sunny and Tinku to Angel and Baby, the new custom nickname AR experience has been purpose-built by Snapchat to allow users to celebrate their nicknames proudly and share it with their loved ones.

The survey revealed that the majority of Indian Gen Zs and young Millennials love to use their nicknames online. The reasons for this, besides keeping names snappy, are to seem cool, to safeguard their privacy and because nicknames can be easier to remember. Unsurprisingly, data shows that over 96% of Indians have used a nickname at some point in their lives.

Nicknames – intrinsic to the Indian identity

SNAPCHAT'S

In India, nicknames go beyond mere labels; and play a significant role in defining individual identities. Often known as pet names, ghar ka naam or daak naam – nicknames are etched deep within our cultural fabric.

The survey outlined that the five most common nicknames in India are Sonu, Babu, Chotu, Annu, and Chintu. But on a regional level, other nicknames are popular. In North India, Golu and Sunny reign, while Ammu and Macha are widely popular in the southern region.

The East embraces Shona and Mishti, while the West favours Pinky and Dada.
But popularity aside, it’s worth noting how these endearing monikers have had a significant impact on the way Indians perceive themselves and interact with others.

More than half of the respondents said that they have had three or more nicknames at some stage in their lives. Contrary to popular belief, nicknames are also a matter of pride, as only 15% say they are embarrassed to use their nicknames publicly.

SNAPCHAT'S

Kanishk Khanna, Director Media Partnerships – APAC,  Snap Inc said, “Nicknames are such an integral part of Indian lives and given to us by our real connections – friends or family. We wanted to share some fun findings on Indian nicknames – from the weird and wacky to the oddball, romantic and downright hilarious, this custom nickname AR experience will help bring users closer to their inner circle and enable the fun and joy of sharing nicknames.”

Nicknames help in forging connections

SNAPCHAT'S

The survey further revealed that Indians use nicknames to build deeper connections and validate relationships. 67% of Indians revealed that they use nicknames to feel closer to someone. This reiterates the emotional connection and cultural attachment associated with the concept of nicknaming in India.

Among the people who have ever had a nickname, 60% confirm that they received their nicknames either during childhood or their school years. However, the nickname received before school is the one that most still go with, highlighting the lasting impact of early connections to one’s identity.

Nicknames create a distinct sense of belonging. 61% mentioned that they go by a different name at home and almost 60% have experienced situations where people remembered their nickname and not their actual name. The survey results corroborate what we’ve always known deep down—nicknames are the heart and soul of our identity and signify the strongest connections we hold dear.

The two Nickname Lenses will be available on Snapchat in India from June 21. Just search for ‘IN’s Top Nicknames’ and ‘My Nickname IN’ in the lens carousel and simply point your phone to your face to get in on the fun.

Survey Background

SNAPCHAT'S

Survey research commissioned via YouGov in India, interviewed 2500 respondents aged 16 to 30 years, across 10 cities (New Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Lucknow, Indore, and Ahmedabad) in India, via a detailed questionnaire.

The sample was asked a range of questions to assess the cultural nuance of nicknaming in India, including popular nicknames, the number of nicknames every respondent has had, life stage when these nicknames were assigned, attitudes towards nicknames, details of the genesis of the nicknames, nickname usage on social media etc.

The results determined the top nicknames from different cities and regions which were further computed to showcase the top nicknames in India and other cultural nuances of nickname usage in India.

How to use the ‘IN’s Top Nicknames’ and ‘My Nickname IN’ lense

SNAPCHAT'S

Snapchatters and visitors on site will be able to trigger the two Lenses from 21 June 2023 by following the steps below:

1. Open the Snapchat application.
2. Launch the ‘IN’s Top Nicknames’ or ‘My Nickname IN’ Lens, available in the carousel.
3. Point your smartphone at your face or something around you, positioning it within the Lens design.
4. Share with your close friends via Snap, post on your Story, or on Spotlight.

Faqs on Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

1) What is Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra price in India & availability?

Ans) *The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra’s new Light Blue and Red colours will be available exclusively via the Samsung website and offline stores.
* Amazon, Flipkart and other stores will continue to have just the Phantom Black, Green and Cream colour options.
* The Galaxy S23 Ultra’s price in India starts at Rs 1,24,999 in India for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. While the 12GB + 512GB and 12GB + 1TB options are priced at Rs 34,999 and Rs 1,54,999, respectively.

2) Samsung’s new epic Galaxy S23 Ultra colors will make you go “Wow!”.Details?

Ans) The Galaxy S23 Ultra will get two new epic colors that will make you go “Wooow!” That is, according to a recent teaser tweet by Samsung India, which urges fans to stay tuned for more information. These two new “epic shades” appear to be burgundy and navy blue or derivatives.

Samsung hasn’t revealed the names of these two upcoming Galaxy S23 color options, but the 10-second animation attached to the teaser tweet hints at some form of burgundy or copper and some shade of navy blue. They can’t be red and sky blue, as these Galaxy S23 Ultra colors already exist under the Special Edition umbrella and can be purchased online in India and other markets.

Galaxy S23 Ultra is becoming one of the most colorful Ultra phones yet

As of this writing, the Galaxy S23 Ultra in India is available in seven color options. Three are standard colors (green, phantom black, and cream), while the remaining four are Special Edition colors (graphite, sky blue, lime, and red).

With the addition of two new flavors, regardless of whether they’ll be called burgundy and navy blue or something else, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is slowly becoming the most colorful Ultra flagship. It’s just one more quality the Galaxy S23 Ultra has over its rivals and even previous Ultra models. As if the phone wasn’t already epic enough.

It’s unclear if Samsung will release these two new color options exclusively in India or if the epic shades will make their way into online stores in more markets. And speaking of which, the two new shades may or may not be Special Edition online-only options. Release dates are always missing, so all in all, this is a bit of a colorful mystery, and Samsung is trying to keep it that way to generate some hype.
