iFixit shares teardown of Apple iPad Pro to delve deep into LiDAR Scanner

Apple recently lifted curtains off its most advanced iPad Pro that comes equipped with the A12Z Bionic chip along with ultra-wide camera, studio-quality mics and a breakthrough LiDAR scanner that delivers cutting-edge depth-sensing capabilities, opening up more pro workflows and supporting pro photo and video apps. Now, iFixit has shared a teardown of this device which comes at a price-point of Rs 89,900 to help has delve deep into LiDAR Scanner of iPad Pro.

While posting teardown video of iPad Pro on Youtube, iFixit stated, “We’re in lock down but that’s not going to stop us from tearing down the brand new 12.9-inch iPad Pro. It’s the iPad Apple says could be your next computer. With a new A12Z Bionic chip that Apple claims outperforms most laptop processors, and a new camera system that includes a LiDAR Scanner, there’s plenty of new tech for us to investigate here. iPads have always been a pain to take apart, but with so much time on our hands, what else are we going to do?”

In the teardown video, we could see that iFixit has first separated the display of Apple iPad Pro to further dissect the camera of the device in order to get a glimpse of the new LiDAR Scanner. Even, infrared footages of a cat is shown to further explain how Lidar scanner works and how it is less efficient than FaceID functions to explain that AR capabilities of new iPad Pro is exceptional as against 2018 iPad Pro.

The video also shown iFixit removing and fixing USB-C port, battery and screen, where it was seen that the 12.9-inch iPad Pro carries battery similar to its 2018 predecessor. According to iFixit, the 2020 iPad Pro scores 3 out of 10 as far as reparability is concerned.

However, Apple claims that the LiDAR Scanner enables capabilities never before possible on any mobile device. It measures the distance to surrounding objects up to 5 meters away, works both indoors and outdoors, and operates at the photon level at nano-second speeds. New depth frameworks in iPadOS combine depth points measured by the LiDAR Scanner, data from both cameras and motion sensors, and is enhanced by computer vision algorithms on the A12Z Bionic for a more detailed understanding of a scene.

Moreover, Apple further asserts the LiDAR Scanner improves the Measure app that now comes with Ruler View for more granular measurements and allows users to save a list of all measurements, complete with screenshots for future use.

Further details about the capabilities of LiDAR Scanner of 2020 iPad Pro will be revealed once the device goes on sale in India.

The Best in Home Workout Apps

The Best in Home Workout Apps

Due to recent changes in the world, many of us have found ourselves stuck at home trying to stave off boredom. One way of doing this is to develop a home fitness routine that can help to build physical health, as well as improving morale and optimism in difficult times. Even at the best of times, the regular practice of a home workout with a minimal amount of apparatus can show us that signing up and travelling to a gym isn’t necessary. With an effective home workout app (many also use cbd balm for recovery), we can stay fit, healthy and ready for anything.

For UK businesses creating apps like these in such difficult times, remote IT assistance is a necessity. Finding a London IT consultancy that is reliable and effective will make a big difference in achieving app objectives.

Aaptiv

Rather than displaying a video that you need to watch, Aaptiv guides you through every activity with a suitable soundtrack. When getting started, users can set a goal, such as losing weight or keeping fit, and enter how much equipment is available to use. Workouts can be categorised into stretching or strength training etc., and each has a different difficulty level and duration. The app has more than 3,000 classes, and is priced at £13 per month after a free trial period.

Pear

Pear is another audio-based app that guides users through a wide selection of workouts without the need to keep looking at or adjusting the device. Intensity and fitness levels of each session can be adapted based on performance, and different coaches and packages can be selected. Pear also integrates into other fitness apps and works with a range of fitness devices and trackers. The app has a free plan, but more workouts are available with a premium plan for £5 per month.

Asana Rebel

A yoga app, Asana Rebel also provides tools for improving sleep and general lifestyle habits. This app has a vast array of yoga practices, meditation sessions and guided meditations. Workouts are categorised by focus, such as relieving tension or core work, and each provides a description to help find one that is suitable. The sessions are led by videos which are very well produced, and they are not solely aimed at women. A free plan is available, but for a wider range of classes, the premium service costs £9.89 per month.

Nike Training Club

It is easy to sign up to the Nike Training Club, and then submit personal information on fitness levels. Workout of different durations will then be suggested to meet your needs. Workouts can also be browsed by specific focus, such as activity or muscle group, or duration. The app provides videos, which are high in quality, and offer the option of working out to music. The app makes it easy to project videos on larger screens, but each lesson needs to be downloaded before use. Nike Training Club is completely free to use.

Les Mills

Les Mills is a New Zealand company that started a popular range of live group fitness classes. They also provide Les Mills On Demand, a library of different types of classes, including yoga, dance and boxing, that can be accessed from any location. There are more than 800 classes to take part in, varying in length from 15 to 55 minutes. Les Mills is available throughout the world and is priced at £9.95 per month in the UK. A free trial period is also available.

FitOn

With a wide range of exercise videos, FitOn is a suitable app for those that prefer visual guidance. Each video has a different objective and training methods, and featured classes include HIIT, pilates or dance, with different targets and durations. The videos also feature fitness training celebrities, such as Katie Dunlop from Love Sweat Fitness and Cassey Ho from Blogilates. FitOn was formerly a premium subscription service but is now entirely free.

Seven

From Perigee, Seven is a workout app that sets the target for users of doing a seven-minute workout every day for a period of seven months. It also includes a tracker through which users can monitor their progress. This is a great app for those that like to set objectives and follow a specific programme. Different users are able to connect through the app, and there are visual guides to help with each exercise. The app is free, but there is also a paid plan for £8.50 that gives more personalised training and access to more workouts.

Each of these apps offers a different mix of exercises, set of objectives and format of presentation. They will be differently suited to each individual, so users should be encouraged to take advantage of the trial periods for those that have subscription services. Trying out several fitness apps is a good idea before settling on the most suitable for you.

The Best Mobile Workstations 2020

It suddenly seems working from home is an attractive prospect for more people, or perhaps even the only option. This is how things currently stand, and we are left to make the most of the resources available to us. Thankfully, delivery is still possible in most cases, so an upgrade on your workstation could be the perfect way to set up your home office and stay safe.

Your business may well require some extra support during these difficult times. Some of this can be arranged remotely, such as consultancy or cloud services. For British businesses that are trying hard to keep things remote, a company offering IT support in London is on hand to meet your requirements within the new restrictions.

HP ZBook Studio x360 G5

This is an excellent 2-in-1 workstation that has a powerful 2.9GHz Intel processor, an Nvidia Quadro P1000 GPU, up to 32GB RAM and a 256GB SSD storage drive. This state-of-the-art laptop also has the ZBook Pen with 4,096 pressure sensitivity levels, and tilt controls with three buttons for customisation. Along with a 4K touch screen and a battery that lasts for more than 9 hours, this is a workstation that has it all.

Dell Precision 7730

The Precision 7730 from Dell has a 17.3-inch 4K, sRGB display that is one of the best among all workstations available. It also has an Intel Core i5 processor with speeds of 2.9GHz, and an Nvidia Quadro P5200 GPU with 16GB VRAM, which means it’s great for running graphically intense programmes. It is not the most portable of workstations in terms of size and weight, and the battery only extends to four hours, but it is otherwise fast and visually fantastic.

Lenovo ThinkPad P53

This is another powerful workstation that has a 2.8GHz Intel Xeon processor, up to 128GB RAM and an impressive 1TB of SSD storage. With the game-changing Nvidia Quadro RTX 5000 GPU and the highly-rated ThinkPad keyboard, this is a serious workstation to be working on. However, the battery is not as long-lasting as other models, and the laptop is slightly heavy and relatively expensive.

MSI WS65

The company may be better known for gaming, but MSI also has a line of ‘WS’ workstations. The WS65 has a 17-inch screen, an Intel Core i9 processor and an Nvidia Quadro RTX 3000 GPU. It also has 32GB memory, 1TB in SSD storage and decent battery life. However, the build quality is not up to the usual standard of MSI, and there is only one Thunderbolt 3 port. It is also not the most affordable workstations.

Apple 15-inch MacBook Pro

Apple is a reliable producer of high-level workstations, and this model also comes with the option of an innovative touch bar to make tasks easier and faster. It has an Intel i9 processor with turbo-boosted speeds up to 5GHz and a Radeon Pro 560 graphics card. It also has a 10-hour battery life, 32GB RAM and an incredible 4TB of SSD storage. Add to this all of the superb features of the design and effortless functionality that MacBooks are known for, and you have a superlative workstation.

Razer Blade 15 Studio Edition

Razer Blade laptops are usually for gamers, but the 15 Studio Edition is a workstation aimed at creative professionals. For that extra aesthetic appeal, it boasts a powerful Nvidia Quadro graphics card and a flawless 4K display. It also has an Intel Core i7 processor, 32GB RAM and 1TB of SSD storage. This is a laptop that puts on an impressive show, but the price also reflects this.

Asus ZenBook Pro 15

High-end laptops from Asus are usually in the gaming category, but the ZenBook Pro 15 is an exception to the rule. It is a capable workstation, with an eighth-generation Intel i9 CPU that can deliver turbo speeds up to 4.8GHz, 16GB RAM and 1TB of SSD storage. It doesn’t have an Nvidia Quadro GPU so it is not the best for running graphics software, but in all other areas, it excels. It also has a strong battery life and a range of ports.

Dell Precision 5530

Another business-class workstation, the Precision 5530 has a 15-inch screen and is also thin and light, making it a highly portable option. It has an Intel Xeon processor with speeds of 2.7GHz, 32GB RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. It also boasts an Nvidia Quadro P1000 GPU and a UHD display with touch capabilities and excellent colours and brightness. However, it only has one Thunderbolt 3 port.

While most of us are finding our living and working lives seriously restricted right now, it is also important for us to stay positive and be resourceful. An excellent workstation can be the best way to achieve more without needing to leave the house, so be sure to review carefully and make the right choice.

The Best Cases for the Galaxy S9

The Best Cases for the Galaxy S9

At this time during a health crisis, it is essential that we keep our phones clean and safeguarded from any chance of transferring bacteria. This should be no different under normal circumstances, but now we have extra reasons to avoid all risks. In most parts of the world, delivery is the best option for buying products like smartphone covers, but this can be easily managed. For those of us lucky enough to have a Galaxy S9 or S9+, a high-quality case is an excellent complement to the phone.

In uncertain times, we all need to plan and prepare for the ways our businesses could be affected. With the help of an IT consultancy located in London, UK businesses can develop a strategy to keep operations running remotely, or temporarily scaled back.

Speck Presidio Grip

This is a popular phone that sticks to its original design. On the back are diagonal rubber grooves on a hard plastic base, with a cutout for the camera. This gives the phone a reassuring grip (hence the name), along with shock-absorbing layers on the corners that give the phone extra protection. The case is available in black, grey, purple or blue.

Incipio Carnaby Esquire

With a name that suggests a touch of class, this is a high quality, eye-catching case. It has a smooth fabric exterior that breaks from the plastics that we are often used to, but it also offers enough protection to withstand a fall of 1.8 metres. This is both a solid and good-looking case that enables wireless charging and is available in blue or grey.

Skech Polo Book Case

For those that like to keep all their valuables together, a wallet case may be the best choice. This is made from polyurethane but has the style of a leather finish, and it can also hold cards and banknotes. A magnetic clasp holds everything in place, and this can also be used as a stand. The case is available in black.

Samsung Alcantara Case

Made from luxurious Alcantara material that is light, soft and strong, and is a mix of polyester and polyurethane. This material is comfortable and with a good grip, though it can pick up dust. There is good access to ports, camera and fingerprint sensor, and the corners have extra protection. However, the case is otherwise light and doesn’t offer a great deal of protection. It is available in black, blue and red.

Griffin Survivor Strong

This is a slim, light and simple case, yet it is also sturdy and protective. The back is smooth to avoid collecting dust, with a simple line design. It is grippable, and it has an excellent drop protection of up to 2.1 metres. The case is available in black, grey/white, grey/pink or transparent.

Patchworks Level ITG

This is a simple phone case that has a solid, dual-layer design for extra protection. The buttons work well with the phone and give a reassuring click sound. Though much of the case is very smooth, there is a side bump for extra grip. The case is available in either black or red.

Caseology Parallax Series

A stylish case with a range of textures, this case also offers a good amount of protection. It has a dual-layer design with button covers and cutouts for camera and fingerprint sensor. There is a slope into the fingerprint sensor that is handy, and bumper and raised lips for extra protection. The case is also available in a variety of colour combinations.

X-Doria Defence Shield

For those that are serious about protecting their phones, the Defence Shield from x-Doria has an aluminium frame to keep the phone safe from damage. It is also made of polycarbonate and soft rubber to maximise the defences. It has an attractive military-style design and is available in black, red or even an iridescent finish that will draw attention to your mobile.

Catalyst Impact Protection

Catalyst has been creating quality iPhone cases for some time, but this is the first case for a Samsung phone. It is made of rubber and graspable, which means dropping it can be avoided. However, if it does happen to slip from your hand, the case can withstand a fall of an impressive 3 metres. The case is available in a range of colour combinations.

Supcase Unicorn Beetle

Another case for heavy-duty protection, the Unicorn Beetle takes a rugged, industrial design. It has dual-layer coverage as well as a built-in screen protector. It has ridged sides for better grip and comes with a holster and belt clip. It has comfortable button covers and port covers, and it has drop protection of 1.2 metres. It is available in black, blue, pink or white.

There is no end of cases for the Galaxy S9, so consumers are truly spoiled for choice. Though it may be better to see them physically in a store, right now delivery is the safest option. Let’s hope things improve in the near future.

Tekya Malware infects Google Play Store: Check Point Research

Tekya Malware infects Google Play Store: Check Point Research

As the Coronavirus outbreak continues to take a devastating toll on lives and communities across the globe, tech giant Google has implemented strict measures to safeguard the Play Store by curbing malicious activities. However, Check Point’s researchers have found a new malware family ‘Tekya’ that was operating in 56 applications and downloaded almost 1 million times worldwide.

Tekya Malware, which aims at committing mobile ad fraud, imitates the user’s actions to click ads and banners from agencies like Google’s AdMob, AppLovin’, Facebook, and Unity, the team at Check Point Research has revealed.

The Check Point’s researchers have identified that 24 of the infected apps ranged from puzzles to racing games for children while other were utility apps like cooking apps, calculators, downloaders, translators, and so on.

The research states that the Tekya malware family was not detected by VirusTotal and Google Play Protect. This is how it made way in 56 applications that could have been downloaded through Google Play store.

Under this attack by Tekya malware, legitimate popular applications were cloned to gain an audience, where in it mostly targeted children’s games. Now the respite is that these infected applications have all been removed from Google Play.

However, Android users need to be more vigilant while downloading app via Google Play as the platform can still host malicious apps. Mind you! Check Point’s researchers have stated, “There are nearly 3 million apps available from the store, with hundreds of new apps being uploaded daily – making it difficult to check that every single app is safe. Thus, users cannot rely on Google Play’s security measures alone to ensure their devices are protected.”

Meanwhile, Google is also identifying vulnerabilities and protecting its users from phishing. Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG) works to counter targeted and government-backed hacking against Google and the people who use its products.

“Upon reviewing phishing attempts since the beginning of this year, we’ve seen a rising number of attackers, including those from Iran and North Korea, impersonating news outlets or journalists. For example, attackers impersonate a journalist to seed false stories with other reporters to spread disinformation. In other cases, attackers will send several benign emails to build a rapport with a journalist or foreign policy expert before sending a malicious attachment in a follow up email. Government-backed attackers regularly target foreign policy experts for their research, access to the organizations they work with, and connection to fellow researchers or policymakers for subsequent attacks,” said Toni Gidwani, Security Engineering Manager at Google’s Threat Analysis Group.

Asserting that Google’s Threat Analyst Group will continue to identify bad actors and share relevant information with others in the industry, the search-engine giant said that its goal is to bring awareness to these issues to protect the users and fight bad actors to prevent future attacks.

Google rolling out a new account switcher and gestures show up on the Play Store app

Last year the software technology giant at I/O announced a new account switcher. Now Google is rolling out revamped account switcher to its apps to manage multiple accounts.

From now onwards the profile picture will show up on the top right corner beside the search bar. On tapping it will prompt open into a full menu that will allow the users to view all the accounts they have signed-in as well as their account settings. The voice search icon has been moved to the left. According to 9To5Google, the microphone is hidden when you first open the app to make way for the Google Play animation. 

According to the report, “That navigation prevents the app from being fully Material as settings and account information is only accessible here. The next redesign hopefully moves all these items to the account switcher menu, like in the Home app and Google Maps.”

The update comes with version 19.3 and 19.4 of the Play Store. To enable it, you need to visit Google Play Store’s App info page, then go to “Storage and cache,” and tap on “Clear storage.” Now open the app and then close it again from the system Recents/multitasking menu. After this step, the new account switcher will appear.

Whereas the navigation drawer size has also been reduced. At the moment the new design has reached select users and is expected to be available to more devices very soon.

Another report suggests that there is going to be a new white splash screen. On tapping the avatar the users will get a familiar white pop-up with their different accounts, privacy policy, terms of service, and some options to manage your Google account or add another. According to AndroidPolice the swipe gesture that was implemented on some of the apps such as Maps, Drive, Contacts, Gmail, Keep and Search is now available on the Play Store. You can swipe up or else swipe down on your avatar that will automatically switch to your other identity. This feature will be helpful to those who have multiple accounts tied to different countries or jobs

Several leaks have revealed that the upcoming handset will be known as the OnePlus 8 Lite. However, now news is rife that the device could be called OnePlus Z.

According to popular tipster Max Weinbach, “I was told that @oneplus is revamping the OnePlus X under a new series…The source referred to it as “OnePlus Z” and said the hardware matched the previous OnePlus 8 Lite render.” This means the OnePlus Z will be a modified model of OnePlus X that lived for a short while.

Earlier leaks have revealed that OnePlus 8 Lite or as the new name suggests OnePlus Z smartphone could come fitted with the MediaTek Dimensity 1000 chipset along with what likely can be a 6.5-inch AMOLED display with a screen refreshing rate of 90Hz. Moving on to camera front, we could likely see a 48MP primary lens, a 16MP secondary lens along with a 12MP selfie snapper fitted at the back of the device. As far as price is concerned, popular OnePlus tipster Ishan Agrawal has hinted that the OnePlus 8 Lite smartphone could be available at price-point as low as £400 (approx. Rs 37,500) in the UK.

Tipster Roland Quandt has tweeted what he claims to be OnePlus 8 official renders revealing that OnePlus Z or the 8 Lite could come in “Crazy new “Glow” color, fancy new Green color, standard Black looking pretty nice, too.” We are yet to find out when this new device will see the light of the day amid the lockdown the world is witnessing due to the Coronavirus outbreak. However, if news reports are to be believed the device might be launched next month in China.

Meanwhile, OnePlus has set up a special team to provide uninterrupted after-sales service to its customers by adjusting existing policies and operations to best maintain continuity and support.

Initially, the back-up device program will be in the pilot stage available for Europe and North America with limited stock. It has also added an FAQ page to answer some of the common questions regarding warranty adjustments and its service continuity plan in India, Europe and North America.

COVID-19: WhatsApp reduces video status limit to 15 seconds in India

Amid the COVID-19 outbreak, there has been a surge in WhatsApp usage across India in order to help people stay connected while they are practising social distancing. Now news is rife that WhatsApp has rolled out a new feature for India in order to bring down video status limit from 30 seconds to 15 seconds under an initiative to reduce the traffic on the server infrastructures.

A tweet by WABetaInfo has revealed WhatsApp has put a bar on time limit for videos posted under the ‘Status’ section of the Facebook-owned instant messaging app. According to the tweet by WABetaInfo, “You can no longer send videos to WhatsApp Status if they are longer than 16 seconds: only videos having a duration of 15 seconds will be allowed. This is happening in India and it’s probably an initiative to reduce the traffic on the server infrastructures.”

However, it further added that some users might be still able to post videos having a longer duration as it will take a little while for the change to be introduced pan-India. While there is a cap on the duration of videos to be uploaded under WhatApp status section, there is no limit of the number of videos a user can upload as of now. Mind you, we are yet to receive an official announcement about WhatsApp status video limit.

In these uncertain times, reliable communication is critical owing to which WhatsApp has almost doubled its server capacity and continue to see strong reliability as people place more voice and video calls around the world. Besides this, WhatsApp also introduced an information hub with tips on how healthcare workers, educators and local businesses can stay connected using this instant-messaging app. It has also donated $1 million to the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) to expand the presence of local fact-checkers on WhatsApp.

Meanwhile, WhatsApp is helping World Health Organization (WHO) to spread its Health Alert to the users of this instant-messaging app by answering common questions about COVID-19. It provides timely, reliable information about how to prevent the spread of the coronavirus as well as travel advice, coronavirus myth debunking and more.

All one needs to do to contact the WHO Health Alert, save the number +41 79 893 1892 in your phone contacts and then text the word ‘Hi’ in a WhatsApp message to get started. The service has been rolled out in English but will be available in all six United Nations languages (English, Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish) soon.

Apple could launch AR glasses by 2022, would look similar to Facebook’s Oculus Quest: Report

According to a report by the premium smartphone company, Apple is working on its augmented reality glasses that might get launched by 2022. For a very long time, some of the rumours have suggested that the AR glasses are under development. 

According to a report, the company is developing two headsets including a combination AR/VR headset that could be released by 2022 and a full-fledged AR glasses by 2023. Apple is also in talks with third-party developers to build apps for the hardware.

“Taiwan-based optical component suppliers are engaged in the development of Apple’s augmented reality smart glasses, which may be commercialized by 2022,” the report stated.

Apple’s headset is said to look similar to Facebook’s Oculus Quest. But it would be featuring a much sleeker design and the company will be making use of fabrics as well as lightweight materials to ensure the device is comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. It is suggested to offer a high-resolution display that will allow the user to read even small words and let them see other people standing in front of and behind virtual objects. Subsequently, the company will bring augmented reality glasses. As per the report, the company will be designing the AR glasses in such a way that it could be worn all day. Additionally, the glasses would look similar to high-priced sunglasses with thick frames that house the battery and chips.

Another report suggests that a leaked code inside iOS 14 has been spotted that confirms that the company is working on the development of its AR headset. 

The report stated that “Leaked code from an internal version of iOS 14 shows some of the ways Apple is testing their AR headset. A geolocated bowling game, which can be triggered at an intersection near the Apple office “Mathilda 3” at 555 N Mathilda Ave in Sunnyvale, California, is being tested which allows users to play bowling using the crosswalk as a lane. This office is only a few miles from Apple Park and could be one of the locations used for developing the AR headset.”

Official images and specifications of the upcoming OnePlus 8 Pro leaked on the internet

Recently, we came across the full specification of the much-awaited OnePlus 8 series. Since very long time rumours, leaks and reports are pouring in as the launch of the series is coming closer. According to some previous reports, this time, the company is going to unveil the smartphones a little earlier hopefully next month. Now a new leak suggests that OnePlus 8 Pro is going to come in a different colour variant. 

Yes, leaked render of the upcoming OnePlus 8 Pro has now surfaced on the web showing a new mint colour variant. A tipster on its Twitter account with handle name @onleaks has now shared the official images of the pro model of the OnePlus device along with key specifications. 

According to the tipster, OnePlus 8 Pro is going to feature a curved 6.78-inch AMOLED display. The company has adopted a 16-megapixel hole-punch selfie camera on the top left corner instead of a pop-up camera, like the one we have on the OnePlus 7 series.

Houseparty? What is this app all about? And why is it quickly becoming the new rage?

To contain the coronavirus spread many countries across the world have implemented lockdown. In India, the Prime Minister also announced nationwide lockdown as COVID 19 pandemic is spreading in the country like a wildfire. The current situation seems very chaotic. In this time of social distancing people, you can still stay connected to your loved ones and enjoy the time just by staying at home. 

Now Houseparty is another app that is gaining more popularity during the lockdown period. There are a couple of video conferencing apps that have helped a lot and are more bearable to stay at home while being connected with your friends and family. But Houseparty is different from them as the name suggests to allow people to play games with your friends altogether.

To recall, the social video app Houseparty was launched in the year 2016. But it has become more popular due to coronavirus and people are forced to stay indoors to contain the spread of the virus. The app is available for download on both Android and iOS. The app is owned by Epic Games the developers of popular game Fortnite. The company acquired the face-to-face social platform in the year 2019. To connect with your friend one needs to drop into a ‘room’ if your friends are online instead of hitting a call button. It works similarly to Yahoo Chat Groups to which one can connect with their friends by joining the “room”. 

Now you must be wondering how the app works. For instance, you are chatting with your sister and then your brother logs and sees that you are chatting with your sister in a room then he can join that room without any hassle. But if you don’t want any relatives or even parents then you can simply lock the room. Houseparty also offers a couple of games such as Heads Up, Trivia and Quick Draw which can be played with your friends and family even when you are on a chat. Up to eight people can join the chat to avoid overcrowding. The smiley button on the top lets you view friends and notification settings. 

Your friends can also invite their friends to join in but the app will warn you when someone not known drops in. You can also link Houseparty to your other social media apps such as Snapchat and Facebook to connect with more friends. The app works best when used on a laptop or a tablet.
