Microsoft rolls out limited preview of its Family Safety app on iOS and Android

In order to ensure safety of those spending maximum time to learn or work from home or remain connected with the loved ones, Microsoft Family Safety app’s limited preview is now available on iOS and Android devices.

In a blog post, the tech giant revealed “Microsoft Family Safety helps you to facilitate a dialogue with your kids about the time they are spending on their devices and type of content they are viewing. The app provides transparency on where everyone is spending time online and allows you to create flexible schedules to carve out more time for things like online learning. Additionally, it helps you stay connected even when you’re apart with location sharing.”

Moreover, with Microsoft Family Safety app, family members can manage their data and information and who it is shared with. Microsoft asserted that it works around the clock to help protect the users’ information and does not sell their data.

As a part of Microsoft Family Safety app, this email summary for each week will help facilitate a dialogue on healthy digital choices and begin developing good habits from a young age.

Screen time limits in Microsoft Family Safety app

The app enables users to set screen time limits across Windows and Xbox devices. According to Microsoft, “Now when you say only one hour of a certain game, that really means one hour of that game—whether that’s being played on a Windows PC, Xbox, or Android phone. And if they run out of screen time, they can ask for more. You have the choice to add more time or not based on what is right for your family.”

Content controls in Microsoft Family Safety app

Now create a safe space for your kids to explore online by setting up healthy boundaries with web and search filters to block mature content and set browsing to kid-friendly websites on Microsoft Edge.

Interestingly, parents can get notified when your children want to download a more mature app or game from the Microsoft Stores with age limits. Microsoft Family Safety app provides you with the tools to begin talking about the type of content that is right for your kids.

Location sharing in Microsoft Family Safety app

With stay-at-home orders and restrictions on mobility currently in place, it is important to know where your loved ones are when they are not at home—for example if your teenager got side-tracked while running to the grocery store and ended up at a friend’s house. Isn’t the app seems to be very helpful to keep a track on your loved one?

Microsoft has invited iOS and Android users to join the preview so that it can collect the feedback and continue to enhance the experience before launching Microsoft Family Security app in the coming months. Once launched, the app will be available to download for free in the app stores.

An ephemeral per-meeting symmetric key, which will be generated by the meeting host, will now be distributed between clients, enveloped with the asymmetric keypairs and rotated when there are significant changes to the list of attendees.

In addition to this, Zoom informed that the cryptographic secrets will be under the control of the host, and the host’s client software will decide what devices are allowed to receive meeting keys, and thereby join the meeting. Zoom is also probing mechanisms that would allow enterprise users to provide additional levels of authentication.

However, the app further notified that these end-to-end encrypted meetings will not support phone bridges, cloud recording, or non-Zoom conference room systems. Zoom Rooms and Zoom Phone participants will be able to attend if explicitly allowed by the host. Encryption keys will be tightly controlled by the host, who will admit attendees. We believe this will provide equivalent or better security than existing consumer end-to-end encrypted messaging platforms, but with the video quality and scale that has made Zoom the choice of over 300 million daily meeting participants, including those at some of the world’s largest enterprises.

Besides this, Zoom is aware of its goal to prevent the use of its products to cause harm. For this, Zoom will continue to work with users to enhance the reporting mechanisms available to meeting hosts to report unwanted and disruptive attendees. This cloud-enabled video meeting app does not and will not proactively monitor meeting contents, but our trust and safety team will continue to use automated tools to look for evidence of abusive users based upon other available data.

Moreover, Zoom has asserted that it has not and will not build a mechanism to decrypt live meetings for lawful intercept purposes. “We also do not have a means to insert our employees or others into meetings without being reflected in the participant list. We will not build any cryptographic backdoors to allow for the secret monitoring of meetings,” the company said in a blog post.

Emphasising on its commitment to remain transparent and open as it build the end-to-end encryption offering, Zoom revealed, “We plan to publish a detailed draft cryptographic design on Friday, May 22. We will then host discussion sections with civil society, cryptographic experts, and customers to share more details and solicit feedback. Once we have assessed this feedback for integration into a final design, we will announce our engineering milestones and goals for deploying to Zoom users.”

Our Take

Both the smartphones come with quad rear camera setup and both include a 108megapixel camera sensor but the S20 Ultra comes with a better camera set up than Xiaomi. Also, the Samsung smartphone features a 40-megapixel selfie camera whereas Mi 10 has a 20-megapixel selfie snapper. So S20 Ultra takes a lead in terms of camera capability. Samsung offers a longer battery life as it is supported by a 5000mAh battery with  45W fast charging support whereas Mi 10 5G is supported by a 4,780mAh battery with 30W fast charging support.

In terms of specifications, it’s tough to decide which amongst both phones is the best. On one hand where Galaxy S20 ultra comes loaded with great features along with better camera quality whereas on the other hand Mi 10 comes with all the necessary features and is also less expensive. We recommend you to go for S20 ultra if budget is not an issue but if you are on a tight budget then Mi 10 5G will be a smart choice at is might cost you half the price of what you will be paying for Galaxy S20 Ultra.

Twitter’s ‘limited experiment on iOS’ warns users before posting hated replies

In order to transform Twitter into a much safer platform for its users, the social media company is now testing out a limited experiment with iOS users that will warn them before they send across a hated response to a tweet.

As per a message from the official Twitter Support channel, “When things get heated, you may say things you don’t mean. To let you rethink a reply, we’re running a limited experiment on iOS with a prompt that gives you the option to revise your reply before it’s published if it uses language that could be harmful.”

In what seems to be a Facebook-inspired experiment, Twitter focusses on motivating Twitterati to stay away from indulging in any response that involves usage of offensive language as it will only result in further escalation of tension. However, Twitter remains tight-lipped on when it will be officially rolling out this feature on its social media handle.

According to Twitter’s Hateful conduct policy, A user “may not promote violence against or directly attack or threaten other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease. We also do not allow accounts whose primary purpose is inciting harm towards others on the basis of these categories.”

Twitter’s Hateful conduct policy further states that its user may not use hateful images or symbols in your profile image or profile header. You also may not use your username, display name, or profile bio to engage in abusive behaviour, such as targeted harassment or expressing hate towards a person, group, or protected category.’

In another blog post on its official website, Twitter mentioned that its mission is to give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information, and to express their opinions and beliefs without barriers. Stressing that free expression is a human right, Twitter further added that it believes everyone has a voice and the right to use it.

“We recognise that if people experience abuse on Twitter, it can jeopardize their ability to express themselves. Research has shown that some groups of people are disproportionately targeted with abuse online. This includes; women, people of colour, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual individuals, marginalized and historically underrepresented communities,” added Twitter.

“Our partnership with Benow is part of our broader online-to-offline (O2O) strategy and is aimed to provide benefits of both offline and online platforms to the consumer. With this new platform, our consumers will be able to browse, select, order, pay and receive their Galaxy smartphone from the comfort of their homes.

Once the details are shared, the dealers get a link on their mobile numbers that helps them to register for the platform and download the Benow App.

In a blog post, Samsung stated: “On the Benow app, the dealer can make an online catalogue of best-selling Galaxy smartphones. This catalogue can be edited to add newer models. Once the catalogue is ready, the dealer shares the link with customers via email, SMS and WhatsApp. The dealer can also share the link on his/her Social Media channels.”

Samsung further added that the consumer can browse the entire catalogue of Galaxy smartphones through the link shared by a particular dealer. If they wish to purchase a new phone, all the consumer needs to do is place a request via the online link. The dealer gets a notification once the order is placed.
