Shockingly, some of them even ask the user to pay a fee to use navigation and then use Google Maps to showcase routes. We should mention that these apps blatantly violate Google’s policy that states that no app can use the search giant’s or any other company’s services as their own and they must have their own proprietary services. It has been stated by Google that if any app violates these policies, they would be taken off the Play Store. Ideally, these apps should have been red-flagged during the screening done by Google itself. It’s even more shocking to know that in spite of Play Project being active in most Android smartphones, these shady apps were not detected by the search giant. However, after they were brought to notice by Stefanko, Google removed some of the malicious navigation apps. We are hoping to see the rest of them being removed from the Play Store soon too. We should mention that earlier this month, as many as 85 malicious apps from adware family were removed from the Google Play Store after they were found by security researchers at Trend Micro.

These apps just open Google Maps or use their API without any additional value for user, except for displaying ads.

15 fake GPS apps with over 50 million downloads found on Google Play Store
Search giant Google may have increased the security on its Play Store in order to combat fake apps, but it’s still far from being able to control the situation. According to the latest report that has surfaced online, a number of adware apps have been found on the Play Store masquerading as Global Positioning System (GPS) and navigation apps. It is worth mentioning that these apps have been installed several millions of times.
To be more precise, 15 such malicious navigation apps with adware have been found on the Google Play Store by ESET’s malware expert Lukas Stefanko, and they collectively, these apps have been downloaded over 50 million times. Stefanko has also posted screenshots of these 15 apps on Twitter.
What is surprising is the fact that these malicious apps don’t even have a proprietary GPS algorithm and instead, they just use Google Maps. As if this isn’t bad enough, some of them go a step ahead and just showcase advertisements on the user’s smartphone screen once they are installed.

As the launch of Samsung Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Lite and Galaxy S10+ draws closer, more and more reports and rumours about the smartphones are surfacing online. The latest one comes from XDA Developers that claims to confirm the presence of an in-display fingerprint scanner on at least one among the three devices.
Reports about Samsung adding an on-screen fingerprint scanner on its smartphone have been circulating online since Galaxy S8’s launch. Speaking about previous reports about Samsung Galaxy S10 smartphones, it has been said that the with the devices, South Korean technology giant will be ditching the iris scanner and will instead opt for an in-display fingerprint sensor. It was also reported that 30% of Samsung Galaxy S10’s screen will act as the fingerprint scanner rather than just one point on the entire screen having the sensor embedded on it.
In 2018, a number of smartphone makers like Oppo, OnePlus, Xiaomi, and Lenovo adopted this trend, the first one among them being Vivo. All signs point towards Samsung getting this feature on its next flagship device.
And now, we finally have a ‘confirmation’ for this by XDA Developers. The website has share two screenshots that are claimed to be from the Samsung app – one from SimpleAuthBottomView class and the second from the OnlinePayMainBaseFragment class. In both the screenshots that the technology website has shared, the app seems to be checking if the smartphone has an in-display fingerprint scanner, and if it does, the app would then “shift the payment flow window at the bottom a bit higher up to make more room.” According to XDA, one among the screenshots also have Samsung Galaxy S10’s codename – Beyond – on it.
However, we should mention that all the variants of Samsung Galaxy S10 have the same code-name, so with just these screenshots, it cannot be determined if all the models will come with an in-display fingerprint scanner or only one or two of the devices will sport the feature.
But then, it has been reported earlier that the Lite variant of the smartphone will come with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, so chances are that either one among the Samsung Galaxy S10 or Galaxy S10+ will come with an in-display fingerprint sensor or both will. We should also mention that it has also been reported that unlike Vivo, Oppo and OnePlus, Samsung will be using an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner on its smartphones.

Google Pixel 3 Lite’s ‘hands-on and review video’ leaks before the smartphone’s official launch
It seems like it’s becoming a tradition for upcoming Google smartphones to show up in videos from Europe even before they are launched. We saw it happening before the launch of Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, and now it’s happening all over again with the company’s upcoming ‘Pixel 3 Lite’ smartphone. A number of reports about the device have surfaced online already and with this video getting circulated, very little has been left to know about the device.
The video, which first appeared on a YouTube channel named Andro News, was later removed. However, until that happened, others re-uploaded it. The upcoming device, which is reportedly codenamed ‘Sargo’ looks very similar to Pixel 3 and comes with thick bezels on top and bottom, defying the current notch trend. However, there’s one key difference between Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 Lite: There’s no secondary selfie camera on the latter.
In the video, the body of the upcoming smartphone seems to be made of plastic and unlike the flagship smartphones, the device has a 3.5mm headphone jack. It has also been reported that the smartphone features a 5.56-inch LCD display, is powered by a Snapdragon 670 processor clubbed with 4GB of RAM and houses a 2,915mAh battery.

And now let’s talk about the highlight of the smartphone: Its cameras. The company has reportedly kept the cameras of Google Pixel 3 Lite similar to the ones seen on the flagship devices that were launched in October last year. So the smartphone sports a 12MP sensor with 1.4-micron pixels along with an optically-stabilized lens with an f/1.8 aperture.
According to Andro News, Google Pixel 3 Lite’s camera can click “the same quality photos as the Pixel 3.” However, we should mention that there were no side-by-side comparison pictures that were provided to support this statement. So as of now, we wouldn’t say whether to expect the same quality cameras or not, but of course, it’s great for photography lovers if this indeed is true.
That being said after such an extensive leak one can fully expect the smartphone to be launched by the company soon. Let’s hope Google notifies us soon!

[td_smart_list_end] This may be the real reason behind Apple and Qualcomm’s fallout
Cupertino based technology giant Apple and American chipmaker Qualcomm have been involved in a legal battle over licensing and royalty fees for over two years now and this has led to a complete breakdown of the two companies’ relationship. However, some media reports have emerged indicating that there may be more to what has led to this situation between the two companies.
According to a report, Bloomberg has seen some of the leaked emails that were exchanged between Apple’s Jeff Williams and Qualcomm’s CEO Steve Mollenkopf. The report further says that the two companies may have cut ties with each other because of software access.
While Williams wanted Apple’s association with Qualcomm to continue in spite of their ongoing legal battle, the chipmaker accused the smartphone giant of leaking Qualcomm’s code that was required to customise mobile processors. After this, Williams reportedly offered to “firewall” the engineers in Apple’s team who used the Qualcomm software and also added that nothing valuable was obtained from the code by the company.
The reports have quoted his email saying, “In my wildest imagination of some evil intention of Apple, I have trouble coming up with a real scenario where anything of significant value could be leaked based on this code.”
In return for this, Mollenkopf reportedly told Williams that he wanted to protect Qualcomm’s proprietary information. He also added that when Apple was offered to use software from Qualcomm, the company committed to using chips from Qualcomm in at least 50% of the iPhones produced in the next two years.
Following this, in September 2018, Qualcomm accused Apple of stealing confidential information and trade secrets from the company and passing it on to Intel, which is a rival chipmaker.
According to Bloomberg, the software dispute between the two companies was the primary reason why they cut ties with each other as at first, both appeared to continue working with one another in spite of the legal battle. We should point out that because of this legal battle, iPhone 7, iPhone 8 and iPhone X models have been banned in China and Germany as Qualcomm has won the case in these countries.

Satya Nadella hints that Microsoft 365 subscriptions will be available for consumers soon
Software giant Microsoft initially unveiled its Microsoft 365 bundle for Windows 10 targeted at businesses and schools in 2017. For commercial customers, it made perfect sense to buy Office and Windows licenses. But now, the company is also planning to launch a similar Microsoft 365 bundle for consumers. Earlier this week, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella hinted at a media event that the company is planning to launch Microsoft 365 for consumers.
We should mention that lately; the software giant’s focus has increased towards its business customers. With this becoming more and more evident, Nadella did have to answer certain questions about Microsoft’s consumer focus at the media event.
As mentioned in various press reports, the CEO admitted that Microsoft has “made a bunch of mistakes by just saying let’s just enter every category, just because we’re a software company,”. He also added that going forward, the company will be choosing its battle of business vs consumer more wisely. And needless to say, subscriptions are inevitably a part of this battle for Microsoft.
Nadella also added that “I think about Microsoft 365 as a two-sided market. What we are doing with Office 365 or what we will soon be talking about as Microsoft 365 consumer subscriptions, those would be again completely consumer businesses.”
It has also been reported that the company’s CEO hinted that for consumers, Office 365 will be renamed to Microsoft 365. Prior to the confirmation by the company, it was reported in December last year by ZDNet that Microsoft consumer bundle will be available soon. Although there is no official word from the company on what all the bundle will comprise of, it is being speculated that it will come with Office 365, Skype, Cortana, and Outlook Mobile. However, there is no clarity on if Windows 10 will be a part of the Microsoft 365 for consumers.
Typically, devices with a Windows 10 license are bought by consumers and most people don’t opt for Windows unless they have to build their own PC. So, we are expecting the company to add some benefits to Microsoft 365 within Windows, but then, only time will tell what the company actually has up its sleeve.

Facebook Messenger’s redesigned app has finally started rolling out to the masses
Last year at its developer conference F8, social networking giant Facebook announced a redesign for its Messenger app. And now, the redesigned app has finally started rolling out. The Facebook Messenger listing on Google Play Store as well as App Store has the updated version of the app, and certain media reports suggest that it’s available for both the operating systems. However, we should point out that Facebook’s Messenger team has reportedly said that the update is being rolled out in a phased manner and it may take a while before it is available for everyone.
The main purpose of redesigning the Messenger app is said to be to make it more simple than what it was earlier. After the update, the Messenger app will put your messages front and centre once again. However, the widespread release of the updated app is taking a long time. We should mention that the redesign was announced by Facebook in May 2018 and it initially started rolling out in October.
However, even now, the only guaranteed way to get the revamped app is to buy Facebook’s Portal video-calling device. But finally, months after it was initially announced, the revamped app is rolling out to one and all. But as we mentioned earlier, this too is happening in a phased manner, so don’t be surprised if you don’t get it immediately.
The most highlighted feature of the redesigned Messenger app includes that post the update, its nine tabs will be merged into just three. Besides this, the interface of the app will become a lot cleaner than what it was earlier. It is worth noticing that the Messenger app will still come with the numerous functions that have been stuffed into it over the year including games, bots and reminders. However, users will now be able to access most of these via a new four-dot icon.
While the update doesn’t add too many new features to Messenger, it improves the experience to a great extent and makes the user interface of the app far more simpler than earlier. We feel that this was indeed a much-needed redesign for the Messenger app as it had rather become too overstuffed with the numerous features that have been added to it over the course of the last couple of years.
