One of the early players in the ‘smart wearables’ category, Fitbit quickly gained a reputation for putting out the best fitness tracking gadgets to the point that the name ‘Fitbit’ became synonymous with a health tracking band. However, in the last few years, smartwatches have been on the ascendancy, offering ‘smarter’ features on top of health & fitness tracking. Brands like OnePlus, Noise, Oppo, and Xiaomi have also been successful in bringing smart wearables to the masses with their highly competitive pricing. In January 2021, Google acquired Fitbit for $2.1 billion, opening the door to a range of possibilities. We recently got our hands on the recently launched Fitbit Versa 4 and set out to test whether Fitbit still holds its own in a rapidly developing smartwatch category. After using the Fitbit Versa 4 for over a week, here is our review.
Opening the box, you’ll find the Fitbit device housed in the centre with the charger and additional strap on either side. The box also contains a quick start guide and a product information booklet. The Fitbit Versa 4 does not ship with a power adapter.
Fitbit has provided an additional 209mm strap with the Versa 4 which is longer than the default one (175mm) that the watch comes fitted with. The watch wraps snugly around the wrist, and the strap does not irritate the skin even after hours of use. The square AMOLED dial is bordered by thick bezels on all sides. Fitbit has reintroduced the physical button on the Versa 4 which was missing in its previous iteration.
At the bottom of the watch, you will find the charging point, optical heart rate sensor, red and infrared sensors for SpO2 monitoring, an altimeter, and more. The Versa 4 also houses a microphone, speaker, and vibration motor. Overall, Fitbit has kept things simple with the Versa 4. The design isn’t flashy but is practically suited to a fitness tracker. You can add also customised straps to the Versa 4.
The Fitbit Versa 4 is water resistant up to 50 metres, which means you can easily wear it while swimming. The watch remains unfazed during sweaty workouts as well. While Fitbit hasn’t mentioned the exact specifications for the watch display, it is bright enough to be legible in direct sunlight. Weighing around 40g (with the straps), you can easily wear the Versa 4 all day without feeling any discomfort.
Fitbit Versa 4 review: Performance
Pairing the Fitbit Versa 4 with your smartphone takes no time, irrespective of the platform you are using it with. All you need to do is install the Fitbit app on your smartphone and turn on Bluetooth to scan the watch. After exchanging the painting codes, you are good to go. While many were expecting Fitbit to incorporate Google’s Wear OS for its devices, the company is sticking with its own Fitbit OS.
While we were quite satisfied with Fitbit Versa 4’s design, there were certain aspects of the OS and the general functions that left a little more to be desired. Let’s begin with the good bits – health and fitness tracking.
Having been at the top of the game for fitness tracking, Fitbit wasn’t going to let us down on the Versa 4. This is Fitbit’s home territory, where it sets the benchmark performance for other fitness trackers and smartwatches to follow. The Fitbit Versa 4 follows through on the company’s reputation and delivers rock-solid performance.
The smartwatch can track up to 40 workout routines, covering all sorts of exercises like weightlifting, treadmill and CrossFit to sports like martial arts, tennis, and snowboarding. The automatic workout detection works smoothly as well. What we were impressed by was the altimeter, which was pretty accurate in its readings of the stairs climbed and elevation gained. The heart rate monitor works constantly in the background, providing readings in real-time during workouts and updating every five seconds in regular mode. The fact that Fitbit is able to achieve this without a significant drop in battery levels is quite impressive.
The Versa 4 has a built-in GPS which allows you to leave your phone at home when you go for a walk or a run. The step counter takes a little time to adapt but the readings are close to accurate. The watch also lets you know how many calories you burned during a workout, which is a stat that should be taken with a grain of salt – not just for Versa 4 but for every other smartwatch.
The sleep tracking function on the Fitbit Versa 4 is up there with some of the premium smartwatches in the market. After tracking your sleeping pattern, the Fitbit app assigns you a sleep score, determining the quality of your sleep. You also get access to a full breakdown of your sleep cycle with a chart that tracks REM sleep, light sleep, deep sleep, and the periods you were awake. Along with this, you also get a graph of your blood oxygen level during the sleep period.
For fitness-oriented users, the Fitbit app provides detailed health metrics along with all the fitness data that the Versa 4 tracks over the course of a day. Through ‘Active Zone Minutes’ the app lets you know how much time you spent in a heart-pumping activity. These metrics are compared to the ideal benchmarks set by WHO and American Heart Association. For more detailed metrics, you will need to subscribe to Fitbit Premium. The Versa 4 comes with a free 6-month Fitbit Premium package, after which you will be charged Rs 999/year or Rs 99/month.
Moving on to the not-so-impressive parts, we feel that Fitbit needs to step up its software and ‘smart’ functionalities if it wants to go against other smartwatches in this category. Firstly, Fitbit Versa 4 offers no support for third-party apps. This means the only apps you can use with this smartwatch are the native ones like Alarms, Find My Phone, Weather, and a handful of Fitbit’s fitness apps. There is no music player support on the Versa 4, something that every other smartwatch in this budget is equipped with.
While the OS is pretty clean, it feels very limiting in certain scenarios. For example, you cannot view the detailed breakdown of your activities from the watch itself. You will need to switch to the Fitbit app on your phone to go through all the tracked data. Need to change the watch face? You will need to access the app again, as the watch does not let you long press and swap through the available watch faces. And while the Fitbit Versa 4 comes with Alexa support, it lacks Google’s very own voice assistant.
These drawbacks seriously hinder Versa 4’s ‘smart’ capabilities. The experience is much better when it is paired with a smartphone via Bluetooth connection. You can receive calls on the Versa 4 and the call quality is quite satisfactory. You can also go through the notifications and respond to incoming messages by using speech-to-text for replies or choosing from a list of preset auto replies and emojis.
Ending on a positive note, the battery life of the Fitbit Versa 4 is impeccable. The smartwatch easily lasts just over 4 days with moderate to heavy use. Even with ‘Always On Display’ turned on, we got almost two and a half days of battery life. A quick 15-minute charge can last you an entire day and a full charge takes just under 2 hours. Quick charging time and extensive battery life allow you to keep the watch on for a longer period of time, resulting in a better quality of data.
The Fitbit Versa 4 is currently available at a price of Rs 16,999. When it comes to fitness tracking and data evaluation, there aren’t many smartwatches better than the Versa 4. But the OS experience and limited ‘smart’ functions is where the Fitbit Versa 4 falls a step behind its competition in this price category. We’d suggest the Versa 4 to fitness-oriented users that are looking for a comprehensive fitness tracker and don’t mind giving up a few fancier functions.
There’s nothing more annoying than missing an important call because WhatsApp didn’t send you a ringing alert. This is one of the more common issues that people face with WhatsApp, and there isn’t one final fix for it. It can arise due to several network or app-related issues. Sometimes, it may be your iPhone’s accessibility settings that are at fault. Luckily, there are a few fixes that will take care of this situation. In this article, we bring you 12 easy ways to fix the ‘WhatsApp call not ringing when iPhone is locked’ issue.
When enabled, Do Not Disturb prevents calls, texts, or notifications from delivering to your iPhone.

You will only be able to catch up on the messages and calls when you launch the app. Go to Settings>General>Background App Refresh and turn it on. Also, make sure that the toggle bar for WhatsApp is switched on.
Turn off Silent Mode
If your iPhone is in silent mode, it will not make a ringing sound every time you receive a call. To disable silent mode, switch the ringer key on the top-left side of your iPhone. If you can see the orange colour on the switch, it means your iPhone is in silent mode. Flick it the other way to switch to a Loud profile.
Turn off Noise Cancellation
Step 1: Go to Settings and select Accessibility.
Step 2: Scroll down and tap on Audio/Visual.
Step 3: Turn off the toggle switch for Phone Noise Cancellation.
Turn off Low Power Mode
Once your iPhone goes into Low Power Mode, it cuts down on power consumption by sticking to its essential functions. You may not receive WhatsApp notifications once your iPhone switches to Low Power Mode. To turn it off, go to Settings>Battery and switch off the toggle bar for Low Power Mode.
Enable Background Sounds
Step 1: Go to Settings and select Accessibility.
Step 2: Select Audio/Visual.

If the issue is bug-related, WhatsApp may have patched it with an update. In order to update WhatsApp, go to the app store and search for WhatsApp. From the app page, select ‘Update’. Whenever any bug pops up on the app, the developers quickly fix it with an update. This is why it is essential to keep your apps updated at all times.
Update iOS
An older version of iOS may have a software bug that’s keeping certain apps from pushing their notifications. These bugs are quickly resolved by a software update. If your iPhone is running an older version of iOS, go to Settings>General>Software Update to install the latest version.
Reset Network Settings
It is possible that the issue lies with your iPhone’s network reception and not the WhatsApp app itself. To fix this, reset the network settings on your phone. Here’s how.
Step 1: Go to Settings and select General.
Step 2: Scroll down and select Transfer or reset iPhone.
Step 3: Select Reset followed by Reset Network Settings.

The pictures shot using your iPhone’s camera capture an incredible amount of detail. This also means they carry a decent amount of file size. Sometimes users run into a problem when they need to upload an image to an official document, and the image exceeds the stipulated file size. Luckily, there are several ways you can compress an image and bring its size down to a desirable limit. In this article, we bring you the top 9 methods to reduce the photo file size on an iPhone. Using these methods, you can easily compress any photo on your iPhone.
The easiest way to reduce the file size of a photo is by cropping it ever so slightly in the Photos app on your iPhone. This will alter the image resolution by a tiny amount, but the size of your image will be reduced significantly. To crop an image, open it in the Photos app and select the Edit option at the bottom of the screen. Tap on Crop/Rotate and use the frame to slightly crop the image.
Change the image format in the iPhone Camera settings
Changing the image format from JPEG to HEIF (High-Efficiency Image Format) will help reduce the file size of the resulting image. The JPEG format stores a lot of information, which can lead to a bloated file size. On the other hand, the HEIF format offers a lower file size without compromising the quality of the image. Here’s how you can switch to the HEIF format.
Step 1: Open Settings on your iPhone and select Camera.
Step 2: Tap on Formats.
Step 3: Select ‘High Efficiency’.
Optimise iPhone Storage
Step 1: Go to Settings and select Photos.
Step 2: Tap on Optimize iPhone Storage.
The images on your iPhone will be compressed to save storage space. The optimised images occupy less space and are perfect to be viewed on your iPhone. You won’t notice much difference. If you want to access the full-resolution images, you can download them from iCloud.
Compress a photo using the Files app
Step 1: Go to the Photos app on your iPhone and open the image you want to compress.
Step 2: Hit the Share icon in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Step 3: Select Save to Files.
Step 4: Choose the destination and hit the tick icon.
Step 5: Launch the Files app and go to the image.
Step 6: Long-press the image icon and select Compressed.
Step 7: A compressedversion of the image will appear next to it.
Use a third-party app
There are several third-party apps on the App Store that will help you resize your images. ‘Image Size’ is one of the highly rated apps for this purpose. Once you’ve installed the app on your iPhone, open it and load the image you want to resize. Now you can resize the image by pixels, inches, mm, cm, or any other metric. Save the image once you’re happy with the result. The saved image will have a significantly smaller file size than the original image.
Send the image to yourself on WhatsApp
Instant Messengers like WhatsApp automatically downsize the images you send on the platform. This is done to increase the speed and reduce the storage space. While some may see it as a flaw, it can come in handy if you want to reduce the file size of an image. WhatsApp also recently launched the ‘Message Yourself’ feature. You can use this function to send yourself the images you want to downsize. Simply select your name from the contacts and attach and send the images you want.
Use Apple Mail to compress images
While you may not have a say in downsizing the images when sending them through an instant messenger, Apple Mail lets you choose a particular file size before you attach the image to your mail. This is helpful because it gives you three options for the file size: Small, Medium, and Large. You can mail the image to yourself via the Photo app. All you need to do is tap on the share icon and select ‘Mail’. Once the mail has been sent you can download the resized image from the Mail app.
Use a Shortcut
Step 1:Launch the Shortcuts app on your iPhone and hit the Plus icon.
Step 2: Give your shortcut a name.
Step 3: Select Add Action.
Step 4: Go to Categories and select Media.
Step 5: Under the Images category, select Get Images from Input.
Step 6: Hit the blue icon at the top right corner of the screen and turn on the toggle switch for Show in Share Sheet.
Step 7: Drag the Media page and select Resize Image.
Step 8: Tap on size to set the default metrics or select Ask Each Time.
Step 9: Hit Done.
Step 10: Select the Media page again and tap on Convert Image.
Step 11: Choose the file format for the resized images.
Step 12: Drag the Media page again and tap on Save to Photo Album.
Step 13: Select a destination album for the resized images.
Step 14: Hit the cross icon.
Step 15: To resize an image, open it in the Photos app, hit the Share icon, and select the shortcut from the list.
Use an online tool
There are several online tools you can use to reduce the file size of any image. Img2Go is one of the most popular online compression tools. Here’s how you can use it.
Step 3: Tap on ‘Choose file’ to select the image you want to resize. This image will be uploaded to the website’s servers. Apart from your iPhone’s local storage, you can also choose an image from Google Drive or Dropbox.
Step 4: Choose the image quality you want for the resulting image. If you want to compress the image to the lowest possible size, there will be some loss in quality.
Step 5: Select ‘Start’.
Step 6: Tap on ‘Download’ to save the resized image.
Why should you compress the images on your iPhone?
If you own an entry-level storage variant of the iPhone, you should be all over photo compression. Not only does it help you save precious storage space, but it also makes the images faster to post on social media or send to your friends. After compression, the images do lose some detail, but the differences are negligible if you’re viewing them on a smartphone. And let’s be honest, most of our social media consumption happens on a mobile device.
If you still want to preserve the full-resolution images, optimising your iPhone’s storage is the ideal way to go about it. Using this method, you will be able to access the original images from iCloud while storing the compressed versions on your iPhone. This makes it easier to manage the storage on your device. If you like to take a lot of photos but don’t want to buy additional iCloud storage, we would suggest creating a hard backup of all your images on an external storage device.

Every WhatsApp user knows that the app sometimes does not show the ringing alert for an incoming call. Instead, you get notifications for a bunch of missed calls instead. Sometimes, you may miss an important call because of this issue. Luckily, there are a few ways you can take care of this problem. In this article, we bring you 12 easy methods to fix the ‘WhatsApp calls not ringing when Android phone is locked’ issue on your smartphone.
Disabling background notifications for an app prevents it from sending alerts to your phone. Here’s how you can check if WhatsApp’s background notifications are disabled.
Step 1: Go to Settings and select Apps.
Step 2: Scroll down and select WhatsApp.
Step 3: Tap on Notifications.
Step 4: Make sure that the toggle bar to Show notifications is turned on. Additionally, make sure you have selected Allow sound and vibration under Alerts instead of Deliver quietly.
Make sure Do Not Disturb is turned off
Do Not Disturb does what it implies. Once you turn it on, you will not be ‘disturbed’ by text notifications or call alerts. If someone is calling you on WhatsApp, it won’t show up on your screen. If your WhatsApp calls are not ringing, it is possible that you may have turned on DND but forgotten to turn it off. In order to disable Do Not Disturb, simply drag the drop-down menu and tap on the DND icon.
Check your internet connection
If you’re connected to a weak network, WhatsApp won’t notify you of incoming calls. Instead, you will receive a notification when the caller hangs up. Perform a quick internet speed test to confirm whether the fault lies with your network. Load other web pages to see if the network is acting sluggish on your device. Switch to a stronger network to receive WhatsApp calls again.
Restart your device
Restarting your device refreshes the network and resolves any background glitches that may be causing WhatsApp to malfunction. Long-press the side key and select ‘Restart’ from the power menu. If long-pressing the side key triggers the voice assistant, press it along with the volume-up button to open the power menu.
Clear app cache
Corrupted files in the cache memory can keep an app from carrying out its most basic functions. Here’s how you can clear WhatsApp’s app cache.
Step 1: Go to Settings.
Step 2: Select Apps.
Step 3: Select WhatsApp.
Step 4: Tap on Storage.
Step 5: Select Clear Cache.
Make sure background data is turned on for WhatsApp
When your phone is locked, WhatsApp still keeps working in the background to notify you of any incoming calls or messages. If WhatsApp calls aren’t ringing when your phone is locked, it may be because the app does not have access to background data. Here’s how you can ensure that background mobile data for WhatsApp is turned on.
Step 1: Go to Settings and select Apps.
Step 2: Scroll down and select WhatsApp.
Step 3: Tap on Mobile Data under Usage.
Step 4: Turn the toggle bar on for Allow background data usage and Allow data usage while Data saver is on.
Update WhatsApp
Sometimes an older version of WhatsApp may encounter an issue that is fixed in later updates. This is why it is essential you keep the app updated. In order to update WhatsApp, simply go to the Google Play Store and search for WhatsApp. Open the app page and select ‘Update’.
Reinstall WhatsApp
If you’re using the latest version of WhatsApp, uninstall it from your device and reinstall it from the Google Play Store. Tap and hold the icon for WhatsApp from the app drawer on your device. In the pop-up menu, select Uninstall. Now, go to the Google Play Store, search for WhatsApp, and hit Install.
Force Stop WhatsApp
Step 1: Go to Settings and select Apps.
Step 2: Select WhatsApp.
Step 3: Hit Force Stop at the bottom of the screen.
Give WhatsApp the necessary permissions
If the incoming WhatsApp calls on your Android phone aren’t ringing, check the app’s permissions. Make sure it has access to Phone and Microphone.
Step 1: Go to Settings and select Apps.
Step 2: Select WhatsApp.
Step 3: Tap on Permissions.
Step 4: Make sure WhatsApp has access to Phone and Microphone.
Update your phone’s OS
Step 1: Go to Settings and hit Software update.
Step 2: Tap on Download and Install.
Step 3: Once the update has been downloaded, tap on Install Now.
Turn off battery saver mode
When your smartphone’s battery drops below a certain threshold, it automatically turns on the battery-saver mode. When enabled, the battery-saver mode kills a lot of background activity for most of the apps on your phone to preserve the battery. This may be the reason why you are not receiving WhatsApp calls on your phone. You can disable the battery saver mode by simply opening the drop-down menu and deselecting ‘Power Saver’. You can also disable it by going to Settings>Battery and device care>Battery>Power saver.

Ahead of the official launch, OnePlus has disclosed some of the features of its upcoming TWS in India. According to the firm, the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 truly wireless earbuds will be the first wireless earbuds to include Google’s Spatial Audio technology created for Android 13. In addition to this, the device will instantly pair with other Android devices with just a single tap thanks to support for Android’s Fast Pair function.
On February 7, the OnePlus Cloud 11 event will introduce the TWS earphones to the world along with the OnePlus 11 and other products from the brand. According to the company with the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 launch, it will establish a new benchmark for spatial audio stability and compatibility with exciting new capabilities for Android users.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 are the first TWS earbuds to incorporate Google’s renowned spatial audio capability developed for Android 13. This produces a multi-dimensional experience inside a pair of tiny earbuds. Because of this, the sound always emanates from a set location regardless of movement and has the same 3D audio quality as in a movie theatre.
The company has further revealed that the OnePlus Buds Pro 2’s spatial audio has been enhanced by them in collaboration with Google to replicate the immersive, multi-dimensional experience enjoyed in cinemas. The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 elevates the spatial audio capability by utilising OnePlus’ spatial rendering algorithm and IMU sensor, adding stability, compatibility with app expansions, and opening up its technology to other applications.
The Android Fast Pair feature, which enables you to swiftly connect to neighbouring Android devices in one tap, helps the Buds Pro 2 in its pursuit of establishing seamless connections by increasing its effectiveness. The Buds Pro 2 can connect to two Android smartphones at once and seamlessly switch the audio between them based on your actions, all without having to fuss with Bluetooth settings thanks to Android’s audio switching feature.
Furthermore, OnePlus created a bespoke stereo up-mixing algorithm to produce multi-dimensional sound from popular music and video apps, taking into account the compatibility of the majority of audio sources on the market.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 has already been introduced in China on January 4. It comes with an 11mm woofer and a 6mm tweeter. The TWS also supports the MelodyBoost twin driver system that was jointly developed with Dynaudio. It also comes with three Dynaudio-co-tuned equaliser choices Bold, Serenade, and Bass.
The Poco C50 has an initial retail price of Rs 6,499, making it an amazing smartphone for people who are upgrading to a budget 5G mobile. It would be exorbitant to ask for too much of a phone in this price range. However, it should at least be capable of handling all of your regular chores, such as watching movies, sending emails, and using WhatsApp, while also sporing a long battery life. So let’s put everything we just said to the test in this Poco C50 review and decide whether or not this phone is worth purchasing.
In This Article
Poco C50 Review: Design and Display
The smartphone is quite lightweight and comfortable to hold in your hand. The Poco C50 has a very simple design. The material used for its back, polycarbonate, has a matte appearance that resembles leather. The nicest element is that it is resistant to fingerprints and smudges, and it has a pleasant texture. Additionally, there is a fingerprint sensor on the back panel. Although it is an outdated technology, it unlocks the device really quickly and works quite well.
Another plastic component is the side frames. A dedicated micro SD card (up to 512 GB) and a SIM tray slot, which can hold two nano SIM cards each, are located on the left side of the device, while the volume rocker and power buttons are located on the right. A speaker grille and a micro USB port for charging are located on the top and bottom frame, respectively.
A selfie camera is located in a teardrop-shaped notch on the front. The Poco C50 has a 6.52-inch HD+ display with a 1,600 x 700-pixel resolution. The touch sampling rate on the screen is 120 Hz. Although the phone’s glass is protected by Panda Glass, it is still highly advised that you put a cover on it to shield the front and rear.
The text and graphics are incredibly sharp and clear even though the quality is not full HD. Impressive colour reproduction is another feature. Watching movies and videos is wonderful. The YouTube videos’ maximum resolution is FHD, yet some 60 frames per second films lag. We experienced minor frame drops while watching FHD 30 fps videos. Because the phone doesn’t support Widevine L1, OTT apps like Netflix and others will only support a maximum resolution of 540p. Not surprising; it is a budget phone, but the content is still crisp and very watchable.
Reels scrolling on Instagram and Facebook feeds is very fluid, too. You won’t be disappointed by this display, for sure.
The Poco C50 has a single top-firing speaker, therefore the audio quality is above average. On the plus side, the speaker is not obscured when holding the phone. On the other hand, holding the phone in landscape mode runs the risk of accidentally covering the speaker. The sound actually sounds extremely amazing and is clear and loud.
Poco C50 Review: Performance and Cameras
The Poco C50 is powered by a MediaTek Helio A22 SoC with eight cores and up to 3GB of LPDDR4X RAM. The model we now have has 32 GB of storage, 22 GB of which are usable, and 3 GB of RAM. Which, in our opinion, is adequate to install all necessary programmes. Although this smartphone’s app launch speed is not the fastest, it is remarkably reliable.
The phone’s overall performance is really good considering the price it is being sold for. It only supports one band of WiFi (2.4 GHz), which is more than sufficient to stream videos and use all of your social media apps. However, due to the 32GB of capacity, there is a lengthy wait when downloading large apps and games.
In terms of the operating system, the Poco C50 runs Android 12 Go Edition, which is a toned-down version of the original Android OS. Absolutely no bloatware is present. Even while it isn’t the smoothest, it is often extremely responsive.
Now, we’re assuming that the majority of your daily duties will be accomplished on this phone if you decide to purchase it. In fact, you can even engage in the majority of the basic games, such as Subway Surfer. However, we advise you to search elsewhere if you intend to play graphically intensive games like COD Mobile.
The device also includes an FM radio. Use your wired earphones to listen to music while travelling. But keep in mind that in order for the radio to function, the earphone cable must be plugged in.
The Poco C50’s dual rear camera system, which features an 8-megapixel primary sensor, adds AI capability. The front of the gadget has a 5-megapixel sensor for selfies and video calls.
Regular daylight shot
Although the camera’s performance is somewhat basic, HDR, it manages to take some fairly decent shots. Also favourable is the dynamic range. Since you get to see real colours, you really can’t complain. However, selfies with and without portraits perform brilliantly in well-lit settings.
Portrait shot
Additionally, you can capture Full HD videos, which while not the best, nevertheless serve their purpose.
The battery is really powerful. A very effective 5,000 mAh battery is included with the device, which works well with the processor. With moderate usage, the battery lasts for roughly two days. The main drawback is the slow (10W) charger, which needs more than three hours to fully charge. The manufacturer might have included this smartphone with an 18-watt charger and a USB Type-C port.
Verdict
Okay, final remarks. The price is perhaps really important, and you can get a really excellent display for roughly Rs 6,499. Additionally, it provides a pure Android experience. Also cool are the design and the back panel that looks like leather. Moreover excellent are the 5,000 mAh battery and general performance.
Although we are aware that this is a low-cost smartphone, a Micro USB port and a 10W charger are so antique in 2023. Definitely, Poco ought to have improved this. We should have expected a minimum of a USB Type C port and an 18W charger from every phone in 2023. Basically, it’s the perfect phone for newbies, the elderly, and even your young teenagers that you want to stay in touch with.

The world’s biggest photo-sharing platform, Instagram, is also preferred by many as their primary Instant Messaging app. While it may not be as popular as IM heavyweights like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, Instagram still enjoys massive popularity among its audience. Instagram DMs are also routinely updated to add new features like ‘Vanish Mode’ and ‘Quiet Mode’, in order to offer something more than its peers. Even with all the cutting-edge features, it is not uncommon for the app to face certain issues from time to time. In this article, we bring you the 11 best working methods to fix the ‘Instagram direct messages not working’ issue on your smartphone.
The most likely reason your messages aren’t getting through on Instagram is a faulty connection. Make sure you are connected to an active Wi-Fi network. If not, turn on your mobile data to ensure internet connectivity. Open a web page on Chrome to ensure your internet is working. To further test the signal strength, run a speed test on your phone. If there are no connection issues on your end, the problem likely lies with the app or Instagram servers.
Clear the app cache
Once the cache memory builds up, the temporary files stored in it may get corrupted. This can lead to certain malfunctions within the app. In order to fix this issue, quickly clear the Instagram app cache from your phone’s settings. Here’s how.
Step 1: Go to Settings and select Apps.
Step 2: Scroll down and select Instagram.
Step 3: Tap on Storage.
Step 4: Select ‘Clear Cache’ from the bottom of the screen.
Force stop the app
If clearing the app cache doesn’t work, try forcefully stopping the app. This will suspend any background activity and shut down the app entirely. A forced stop helps in performing a complete reboot of the app. Once you’ve force stopped the Instagram app, tap on its icon in the app drawer to relaunch it. Here’s how you can force-stop Instagram on your smartphone.
Step 1: Go to Settings and select Apps.
Step 2: Scroll down and select Instagram.
Step 3: Select ‘Force Stop’ from the bottom of the screen and confirm your selection in the following popup box.
Update the Instagram app
Instagram rolls out frequent updates to fix any recent bugs and glitches. If your DMs aren’t getting through because of a bug, you will need to update the app to fix it. If you are using a very old version of the Instagram app, chances are that it has been phased out. You will have to update the app in this case as well. In order to update the app, simply go to Google Play Store, search for Instagram, go to the app page and tap on ‘Update’.
Uninstall and reinstall the app
Sometimes, installation issues can cause an app to malfunction on your phone. If you just installed the Instagram app and can’t get it to work, uninstall and reinstall it again on your device. You can use the Google Play Store or your OEM’s exclusive app marketplace for this task.
Sign out and sign back in
It is also possible that the problem may be specifically related to your account. To reset any account-related glitches, sign out of the Instagram app and sign back in. To sign out of Instagram, go to your profile, tap on the hamburger menu, select Settings, scroll down and select ‘log out’. Once you’re logged out, enter your login credentials (Instagram username and password) to sign back in.
Use Instagram Web
It is possible that the problem may lie with Instagram’s mobile app and not the DM service itself. In this case, Instagram’s Web Interface should work just fine. Go to Instagram’s official website and log in using your username and password. Select ‘Messages’ from the side menu to access Instagram DMs.
Use Instagram Lite
If you’re not a fan of Instagram Web, use the Instagram Lite app instead. This lightweight app uses less data and loads faster than the regular Instagram app. The issues plaguing the regular app may not persist on the Lite version. If your Instagram DMs are not working, the Lite app is worth giving a shot.
Your Instagram account may be restricted
Instagram can impose restrictions on your account if you violate the Terms of Service. This includes posting objectionable content or spamming messages to different users. If you sent a huge volume of messages to multiple users in a short duration of time, Instagram may have flagged your account as a bot and restricted your ability to send DMs. You can report this issue to Instagram and wait until the ban is reverted.
Check if the user has deactivated their account
If your Instagram direct messages aren’t working for one contact in particular, it is likely because they have deactivated their Instagram account. Your conversation with them still shows up in your DMs after they have deactivated their account. You may be able to view their profile for a while before Instagram finally takes it down. Once the profile has been deactivated, the username says ‘Instagram Account’. Instagram allows you to send DMs to a deactivated account, they just won’t go through.
Check if Instagram’s servers are down
It is not uncommon for Instagram’s servers to experience an outage. When the servers are down, all app activity is ceased until the servers are back up and running. You have no other option than to wait it out. To check if Instagram’s servers are down, visit the DownDetector website and search for Instagram.

Every TWS user will tell you that their biggest pet peeve is how often their wireless headset gets misplaced. Since they are not attached to a wire, TWS earbuds have a tendency to slide under places where it can get pretty hard to replace them. When you’re outdoors, the earbuds can also slip out of your ear and fall down and you may not realise it right away. Luckily, most manufacturers are aware of this issue and equip their TWS products with the necessary tracking features. In this article, we show you how to easily find your lost Samsung Galaxy Buds.
Use the ‘Find my Earbuds’ feature from the Galaxy Wearable app
As we mentioned earlier, earbuds have a tendency to slip into places where you cannot see them. The ‘Find my Earbuds’ feature provided by Samsung rings the earbuds in order to help you locate them. This method can only be used when your Galaxy Buds are connected to your smartphone.
Step 1: Open the Galaxy Wearable app on your smartphone.
Step 2: Select ‘Find my Earbuds’.
Step 3: Tap on the search icon to locate your earbuds. Once your press this icon, your earbuds will start beeping.
Step 4: Locate the source of the beeps. Once you’ve found your earbuds, tap on the ‘Stop’ icon to halt the ringing.
You can also mute one of the earbuds once you find it and keep the other one ringing until you locate it.
How to find the location of your Samsung Galaxy Buds
If your Galaxy Buds are out of Bluetooth pairing range, you can still trace their last paired location. Here’s how.
Step 1: Open the Galaxy Wearable app on your smartphone.
Step 2: Select ‘Find my Earbuds’.
Step 3: Tap on ‘Navigate’. You will be guided to the last paired location using Google Maps.
Step 4: Once you reach the destination where your Galaxy Buds were last paired to your device, select ‘Search nearby’. The Galaxy Wearable app will scan for the Buds and notify you if it finds them.
These are the 2 quick ways you can find your lost Samsung Galaxy Buds. To add an extra layer of security, you can use the Galaxy Wearable app to notify you every time you leave a location with your Galaxy Buds left behind. Certain locations where you commonly leave your earbuds behind, like your home or workplace, can be added to the ‘safe places’ list so as to not receive redundant notifications.

The January Update for New State Mobile is now available on Android and iOS. Players can now get Survivor Pass, a new shooting gallery and siege patterns, and Team Deathmatch Mode on the Arena map. According to the developer the game’s meta is intended to be altered by this month’s update, which includes several balancing adjustments to a number of weapons, vehicles, and the Drone Store.
The popular battle royale game on iOS and Android, New State Mobile, has received its January Update from Krafton. The January update also adds Team Deathmatch Mode (TDM) to the Arena map, new patterns for the Shooting Gallery and Siege Mode, a new Survivor Pass, and other things in addition to the balancing adjustments.
Below is a list of every key feature that was included in the New State Mobile January Update.
To provide players with a more dynamic experience, balancing adjustments have been made to weapons and vehicles in response to player feedback. First, to make previously unpopular weapons more accessible, long-range damage for SMGs, ARs, and LMGs has been reduced. Second, modifications have been made to cars to better reflect their features. The durability of vehicles like the Vrion, Electron, and UAZ has improved, while the speed of cars has grown and the stability of motorcycles has improved for smoother handling. Finally, the cooldown of the Drone Store has been lowered, the delivery speed has risen, and the item prices have been drastically changed. According to Krafton with these efforts, players should be able to engage in a variety of situational confrontations with a greater arsenal and enjoy their matches more.
Moreover, Arena, which previously only permitted Round Deathmatch Mode, now allows players to play TDM (RDM). In TDM, the match is won by the team that reaches 30 eliminations first. Players that are eliminated will respawn at a random spot near their base. However, keep in mind that in TDM, care package goods won’t show up in the map’s centre.
The Shooting Gallery has been changed, and the additional points for SR have been decreased from 800 to 500 in the January Update for New State Mobile. With the update from last month, NEW STATE Labs included a new mode called Siege, which has since undergone significant pattern and difficulty modifications as well as a ranking reset.
The keeper from the Dream Runner faction debuts in Survivor Pass Vol. 15! From the story quests in the Pass, players can learn about Keeper’s origin story. Players will get Keeper’s facial appearance after completing all missions.
