WhatsApp will roll out these new features soon: Protect backup, disappearing messages and more

The popular chatting app WhatsApp has recently rolled out the much-awaited Dark mode on its platform for its Android as well as iOS users globally. The dark theme has been under the testing mode for almost a year before it could reach all the users. Besides this, the company is also testing some other new features that will also be rolled out to all the users worldwide soon. These include multiple device support, disappearing messages, dark mode for web and desktop among others.

The Dark Mode feature on WhatsApp has reached both Android as well as iOS users. Personally speaking, this feature has improved the overall look as well as user experience. This feature reduces eye strain under low light environments or when the lights are turned off or in our daily routine. Those who are unknown can enable it in system settings. Users on Android 9 and below can go into WhatsApp Settings > Chats > Theme > select ‘Dark’.

The Facebook-owned social media platform is also testing some more features which will enhance the user experience. Below we have listed some upcoming features that will arrive on the platform very soon.

Protect Backup 

The company is working on this feature, which will allow the user to encrypt their backup file with a password so that neither WhatsApp nor Google will be allowed to see its content. The user might not be able to restore his chat history if he loses the password used to encrypt the database. Moreover, they will get an option to turn on and off the feature. This feature is currently unavailable as it is in an alpha stage of development.

Dark Mode for web and desktop

WhatsApp was also spotted testing the dark theme web and desktop. According to a leak, the new feature will bring a completely new look to the interface. This is under development and it will take some time as the company has just started working on the platform to be implemented correctly. 

Multiple device support

Multiple device support features on WhatsApp will allow the users to use one single account on multiple platforms. This means the users will be able to use one account enabled on multiple devices and the users do not require to sign out of their previous account. This feature has also been under testing for quite a long time now.

Face unlock support

Currently, the chatting app allows its user to prevent their privacy with fingerprint lock support. It allows them to unlock the app using a user fingerprint. Now the company is testing another authentication feature called Face Unlock for Android users. After the rollout, the users can set these features for the app to prevent their chatting messages from being read by someone without consent. This works exactly how your device’s face unlocking works for the biometrics.

Disappearing messages

This feature is also under development and it’s been almost a year since it has been put on testing. The disappearing messages work exactly like the Snapchat feature, which automatically gets vanished after 24 hours. But here you get an option to set a time frame. Setting this will automatically delete the message after the set time.

Coronavirus impact: Online sellers increased the price of the hand sanitizers charging Rs 999 for 30ml

Coronavirus scare is spreading rapidly and keeping good hygiene and hands clean is recommended by health experts to reduce the risk of contracting the virus. This has led to the shortage of hand sanitizers at online and offline pharmacies to which people have resorted to making their own. Even the local Kirana shops are reportedly clearing out shelves of hand sanitizers. Some leading online retailers such as Flipkart are quoting a 30 ml bottle of hand sanitizer 16 times the MRP when it is needed the most.

The shortage of hand sanitizers in the country has started creating panic among the people with the arrival of Coronavirus. The stock is running out while the online retailer has started charging to a greater extent. Even other ether there is a shortage of other disinfectant liquids and masks in the market. Some online retailers such as Flipkart are selling it for unreasonable. A seller named SuperRetails has listed a 30Ml bottle of Himalaya PureHands at Rs 999, which is too high. To this, the consumers have taken this issue on to Twitter, to express their protest with regards to the sky-high prices of hand sanitizers and other products on the online medium.

To this Himalaya Drug Company promised to take action against those who are responsible for this. The sellers are charging too much after the outbreak of Coronavirus in India. The company on this made a clarification tweet and ensured them that they have not increased the price of the PureHands Hand Sanitizers. According to them the price of the sanitizers has been increased illegally by unauthorized third-party sellers while denying any association with the unscrupulous sellers in any way. The company said, “These are illegal practices and must be dealt with firmly in accordance with the law.”

The shortage and the steeping prices have spurred people to begin making their own hand sanitizer. Many social media platforms and blogs such as Twitter, Pinterest and many more are sharing the recipes for homemade sanitizers. According to health experts, cleaning your hands with hand sanitizer is not the most effective way, it is recommended to wash your hands with disinfectant liquid soap or a normal soap using water. 

 

It is recommended to wash your hands with disinfectant liquid soap or a normal soap using water. 
It is recommended to wash your hands with disinfectant liquid soap or a normal soap using water.

This practice is the most recommended and effective way of removing certain kinds of germs such as Coronavirus. Secondly just because there are homemade recipes for hand sanitizers does mean you should follow them as these don’t actually work because some of you might not get the concentration right. Experts have warned this practice which is not at all effective and also the results are too harsh If you don’t get the right ratio of ingredients. 

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “Alcohol-based hand sanitizers can quickly reduce the number of microbes on hands in some situations, but sanitizers do not eliminate all types of germs.” It is recommended to use if soap and water are not available, using a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol can help you avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others.

Coronavirus prevention tips: Your smartphone is filthier than a toilet seat, learn how to disinfect it

Yes, you read it right your smartphone is dirtier than your toilet seat. It carries more germs than a toilet seat because you touch everything transferring viruses as well as bacteria. So even if you wash or sanitize your hands properly and wear a mask to prevent the deadly Coronavirus your phone might not be clean enough and have several germs on its surface.

Keeping your device clean might prevent you from catching an infection from your dirty phone. According to a report, your mobile phone is home to more bacterias than a toilet seat. Once contaminated hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there these viruses enter your body and can make you sick

According to WHO, your hands touch many surfaces that pick up viruses. The Coronavirus stays on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days (depending on the type of surface). 

First things first you should wear a mask and always practice hand hygiene. Here are some measure you can take to keep your smartphone clean without damaging it and prevent the spread of Coronavirus:

  • First of all switch off your mobile phone and if you’re using a back cover or a protective case also remove it.
  • Wash your hands first and keep them dry using a paper towel. Do not use your hand’s dryer to dry your hands as it also transfers germs and viruses.
  • Now make sure your phone has a screen guard on it.
  • Then take a clean lint-free microfiber cloth or you can also use the one you get to wipe your spectacle lenses. Now moisten it using some rubbing alcohol or a hand sanitizer. Or you can use pre-moistened lens cleaning wipes which are available at a drugstore, opticians or you can also buy them online.
  • Now carefully wipe your phone’s display screen, also do not forget to wipe the side of your phone.
  • Now take a cotton swab or bud and moisten it using the rubbing alcohol. Then clean your charging port and headphone jack. Also, remove the microSD slot or SIM slot and wipe it using the buds.
  • The plastic cover can be washed using soap and warm water. 
  • The leather covers can be wiped clean using the wipes.
  • Before fitting the covers let them dry completely.
  • After this put them back together and turn on your phone.
  • Also, wipe your earphones or headphones and try using them as much as you can to make a call so that the Coronavirus does not transfer from your face to other parts of the body.

In addition to this, try keeping sanitizing hand rub dispensers in prominent places around your workplace or at home to make sure you clean your hands regularly and this habit prevents the spread of COVID-19. Keep surfaces clean such as desks, tables and objects like telephones, phones, laptops, keyboards, and mouse wipe them with disinfectant regularly because simple precautions can make a big difference and also prevent the spreading of Coronavirus.

To recall Xiaomi launched Mi 10 series in China in mid of February.

Motorola Edge+ leaked renders show a waterfall display 

Motorola has done quite well in the low budget and mid-range segments by launching Moto G series and Motorola One series as well as E series in the market. Last year the Lenovo owned company made a comeback in the flagship market with the launch of its foldable smartphone Moto Razr. Now this year the company is planning to launch another flagship phone that is Motorola Edge+. The smartphone has been in the news for a very long time now and another leak has landed on the internet. 

In a new development, CAD-based renders of the Motorola Edge+ have been leaked on the internet which displays the phone from the angle. The leaked renders revealed that story behind the naming of the smartphone. As the name suggests this time the company will be offing the flagship smartphone with a waterfall display that falls perfectly around the edges. 

Waterfall display

Moreover, the front display features a small hole-punch on the top left corner to equip a selfie camera. While the rear panel will be seen flaunting triple cameras placed inside a pill-shaped camera module on the top left corner of the phone. Just beside the camera setup, there is an LED flash and in the center, you can notice a Motorola Logo. There is no rear fingerprint sensor so it confirms that the phone will include an in-display fingerprint scanner.

On the bottom of the device, there is a SIM card slot, USB-C port and a speaker grill and however, we could not find the 3.5mm headphone jack this might be on the top. While on the side panel the device has a power button and volume rocker unlike other devices with waterfall displays. 

Moto Edge+

Previously it was reported that the phone might offer a 6.67-inches display with a 2340 x 1080 pixel resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. The device is likely to be powered by Snapdragon 865 for the 5G connectivity paired with 8 or 12GB of RAM.

Xiaomi, Poco and Realme: Fighting each other Hammer and Tongs

Xiaomi, Poco and Realme: Fighting each other Hammer and Tongs

Xiaomi and Realme are two very popular Chinese brands in India. And every now and then they both are into a duel on so many reasons whether they launch a new smartphone or when the rep says something. Both brands are always involved in a tug of war on Twitter. 

To recall, Xiaomi, as well as Realme representatives, were seen attacking each other when Poco India general manager Chandolu Manmohan slammed Realme by calling it a “real copycat brand.” To this Realme’s Chief Madhav Sheth replied by telling him to behave. The Poco’s executive has now been blocked by both @realmemobiles and Madhav Sheth.

This war of words does not stop here, yesterday Realme launched its new smartphone series in the country while introducing the phone Madhav Sheth said: “We do not want to compare with anyone else”. To this again C Manmohan attacked Realme by accusing him of copying. His tweet reads, “We do not want to compare with anyone else” The brand that spent its entire life copying from others and comparing with others is now preaching morality.”

The recently launched Realme X50 5G seems like another copy of Xiaomi’s Smartphone. Yes, you guessed right, we are talking about Redmi K30 5G. Both have a 120Hz LCD display, dual selfie camera, side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a 64megapixel quad-camera setup, however, the processor is different but offers 5G connectivity

Furthermore, Realme has aped Xiaomi in terms of design aspects, marketing as well as pricing. The company launched Realme Buds Air Pro which is a copy of Xiaomi’s Truly wireless earbuds and again Xiaomi copied this from Apple’s AirPods. Yesterday Realme launched a low price fitness band in India that is another copy of Xiaomi’s Mi Band. Keeping up with the trends now Realme is preparing to launch a Realme TV very soon in India. 

We think rather than copying other brands and mocking each other the company should concentrate on their business as otherwise, this will only lead to negative marketing, which is not a good sign. Both the companies are at a position where these things do not suit them. And blocking each other is not the solution, healthy competition is.
