Meta brings a new update to Threads, to impose rate limits to combat spam
More than two weeks have passed since Meta introduced Threads, and already the brand-new social media platform has grown immensely popular, challenging Twitter for first place. A major upgrade to Threads is now available, adding significant new features like built-in translation and a new Follows tab.
According to a source, the initial buzz surrounding the Threads app seems to have subsided as the amount of daily active users has significantly decreased due to the platform’s continued lack of key functionality provided by competing platforms.
Since the social network’s introduction earlier this month, Meta has brought Threads its first major update. An update to the iOS app, according to the company’s Cameron Roth, adds a Follows tab to the activity stream, making it simpler to discover who has recently followed you. You’ll find it simpler to follow individuals back. To find out if you’re missing anyone, you can check your list of Instagram followers. Unfollowed users can be subscribed to if you want notifications without having them clog up your timeline.

Additionally, users will get access to a translate button, making it simpler for them to understand content written in languages other than their own. According to Roth, the iOS update contains a few software bug fixes and other enhancements. There are also a few fundamental interface changes, such as reposter labels you can tap. More so while loading or scrolling over your activity stream, the app should be lighter and more fluid.
According to Roth some of the features will not be accessible right away since some of them are server-side activated after the latest Threads update has been installed. However, they ought to be available by the end of the day.
Besides this, citing an upsurge in spam attacks Threads will impose rate limits similar to Twitter. This will automatically cap the number of times a user can connect with a platform within a particular time frame.
Adam Mosseri said, “Spam attacks have picked up so we’re going to have to get tighter on things like rate limits, which is going to mean more unintentionally limiting active people (false positives). If you get caught up in those protections let us know.”

The increasing technological advancements also pose a potential risk of cybercrimes. People are becoming more dependent on technology for their daily needs leading to a stark rise in cybercrimes. As per reports, around 94% of Indians are Android users. Unfortunately, Android users are facing a new threat from cyber criminals. Android users are being tricked into installing malicious bank account apps. Fraudulent mobile applications mimicking legitimate banking apps that are designed to deceive users and steal their sensitive information are known as malicious bank account apps.
Read also: Meta released more tools for creators on Facebook, bringing more improvement to the platform
Although the Google Play store uses protective measures to ensure no user is being tricked into installing malicious apps it still isn’t 100% safe. Malicious apps often pose as legitimate ones and trick Android users into downloading them. Research shows that around 3,00,000 Android users have been tricked into installing malicious bank account apps. These apps have managed to bypass Google security checks.
According to reports by ThreatFabric, Anatsa is the most common form of malware currently which has been active since January. It steals user’s personal information such as usernames and passwords and shares them with hackers. This malware can hack your banking apps, steal financial data and intercept with two-factor authentication as well.
The common characteristics of these malicious bank account apps are as follows:
- Impersonation: These apps look like legitimate apps by using similar logos, colours and interfaces. Impersonation makes it difficult to distinguish between legitimate and malicious ones.
- Data Theft: Malicious banking apps steal users’ sensitive information and use them to cause harm.
- Keylogging and screen recording: Keylogging means capturing keystrokes made by users. Keylogging and screen recording enable attackers to gather the personal information of users.
- Phishing attacks: Malicious bank account apps trick users with pop-up ads or unwanted SMSs and emails. They request users to share their personal information such as PINs, Passwords etc.
Here are 5 best ways for Android users to stay safe and protected:
- Download your banking apps only from trusted sources. Do not download bank account apps from other sites or sources as these may host malicious apps. Always make sure that you are downloading from genuine sources only.
- Before downloading any bank account app check for its reviews and ratings. Always pay special attention towards negative reviews that mention suspicious activities.
- Check for the permissions being requested by the app during installation. If the app asks for any unrelated permission after installation do remove it immediately.
- Android users are advised to regularly update their device’s operating system and installed applications. These updates include security patches and help them protect against vulnerabilities. Always install reputable security software that protects you from viruses and detects harmful applications.
- Always remember that legitimate bank account apps do not request any sensitive information from any links or other related channels. Do not click on any links received via SMS, emails or other instant messaging apps. These links can be from hackers trying to steal your information.

This year, Mivi has released a variety of wireless earbuds under various price ranges and categories. We have been using the brand-new Mivi DuoPods A650, one of its newest releases, for more than two weeks. The TWS earphones have features like ENC, custom-tuned EQ, 13mm electro-dynamic bass drivers, and more, and they cost about Rs 1,500. The device is advertised as having a 55ms low latency and 55 hours of playing. Is the cost of these TWS justified? Check out the Mivi DuoPods A650 review below to find out.
They have four vertically positioned LEDs on the front that light up, along with the Mivi logo, and red and blue LEDs on the earphones that indicate pairing status and battery life, respectively. At the bottom is a USB-C port for powering the charging case. Mivi has provided a USB-C cable within the box.

The case is very luggable thanks to its lightweight. There are no buttons on the charging case for the Mivi DuoPods A650 earbuds. It starts looking for a device to pair with as soon as the case is opened.
You can see that the earphones are securely fit into the correct slots when you lift the case’s lid. To keep the earbuds in place, the casing has built-in magnets. Out of the box, the earphones are incredibly lightweight and stem-like appearance.
In terms of comfort and fit, the earbuds are slightly hard to wear while you are sleeping, so if you use them for an extended period, you may get ear irritation and pain. If you enjoy listening to music while you sleep, this product is not for you.
You can select between songs, accept or turn down phone calls, and enable the voice assistant with the touch sensors in both earbuds. We discovered that there is a delay when pausing or resuming it and that the touch response is slow.
The voices irritating and pinching at high volumes, we identified certain difficulties. The sound was also significantly louder than other gadgets we’ve recently tried. Because the music sounds a little distorted when the volume is set all the way up, it is advised to maintain it at 80% or lower.
Additionally, Mivi provides ENC (Enviromental Noice Cancellation) with the Duopods A650, which is effective at blocking out background noise while making phone calls. The Duopods A650’s lack of app support is another frustrating feature, in addition to its distorted loud volume. Sadly, Mivi does not yet have an app for its TWS products.
The Duopods A650’s battery life, however, is exceptional. These Mivi earphones’ 500mAh battery offers 55+ hours of nonstop use (claimed by the company). The case provides around 9 hours of talk time and may recharge the earbuds five times. A quick 10-minute charge might give the battery backup a 10-hour runtime. More than an hour is needed to fully charge both the buds and the charging capsule.
Mivi DuoPods A650 review: Design
Let’s begin by talking about how it looks. The Mivi Duopods A650’s body is shaped like a pebble. Although the device comes in a variety of colours, we have the blue version. Even though the earphones’ housing is made of plastic, it is sturdy enough to endure accidental falls. Furthermore, a lot of scratches are drawn to the shiny sheen.
They have four vertically positioned LEDs on the front that light up, along with the Mivi logo, and red and blue LEDs on the earphones that indicate pairing status and battery life, respectively. At the bottom is a USB-C port for powering the charging case. Mivi has provided a USB-C cable within the box.

Mivi DuoPods A650 review: Performance
The Mivi Duopods A650 have an IPX4 rating, so you can use them whenever you want, in the gym or while working out in the rain. After initial setup, you only need to remove the earbuds from the charging case, connect them to your device, and they will instantly pair. The Bluetooth 5.1 version is supported by the Mivi Duopods A650 earphones, which also have a wireless range of about 10 metres. Also Read: Google Pixel 7a Review: Is it an all-rounder phone at Rs 44,000? The 13mm electroplated bass drivers in the Duopods have a frequency response of 20Hz to 20KHz. The earbuds sound okay in terms of audio quality and are acceptable for casual use but do not provide professional-grade audio quality. An overly deep bass response is heard.
The voices irritating and pinching at high volumes, we identified certain difficulties. The sound was also significantly louder than other gadgets we’ve recently tried. Because the music sounds a little distorted when the volume is set all the way up, it is advised to maintain it at 80% or lower.

More than an hour is needed to fully charge both the buds and the charging capsule.
Verdict
The Duopods A650’s battery life is excellent and allows for continuous use for up to 9–10 hours. Loud and clear audio can be heard through the microphone. However, because it is extremely loud and the bass is over-boosted, and the sound quality is not particularly impressive. The connectivity strength is excellent, and the entire design is good too. Yes, these are suitable for gaming because of its low latency. As a whole, this product is good except for how painful and uncomfortable the earphones are to wear for longer durations due to its design and thickness. Mivi DuoPods A650 Pros- Good for gaming
- The entire design is good too
- Excellent battery life
- Too loud
- Earbuds are uncomfortable when worn for longer durations
- No app support

Tip 2: Boggle your mind with different word games
Wordle skills, like any other skill, get better with practice. Don’t limit yourself, hone your wit with other games like Scrabble, Boggle, and Bananagrams. Wordle skills are not unique to it, so might as well play other crossword games with your friends, family, or your computer. Play other puzzle video games like Portal 2 to sharpen your brain. Outboard your opponents in Chess. Any puzzle game that can exercise your brain will work as a catalyst in the guessing game of Wordle.Tip 3: Play Wordle daily
Discipline. Yes, you read it right. Play it every day. It’s a cure for boredom and is a good brain tonic. In today’s age of mindlessly scrolling through Instagram reels and Tik Toks, this might be considered a productive endeavour. It also helps us to communicate better, not going overboard here, but it widens our vocabulary. We have learnt so many good and weird words on Wordle that mindfully stumbling upon them would have had a probability close to zero. For instance, one time it was “Sissy.” Three S’s in one word, it was a task to get this one right.Tip 4: Wordle Only Uses US Spellings
This seemingly minor detail sometimes put the British spellers under a spell. An American reader might not put much thought to it but Wordle might play with this little oversight. For example, the word might be “COLOR” but one could lose their streak if they overlooked the American factor in it.Tip 5: Keep a Check on Your Statistics
Keep an eye on your Wordle statistics to track your score and guess performance. Whether you use the same starting word each time or change it up, analysing your guess data is vital to determining the effectiveness of your strategy and making adjustments.
Accessing your up-to-date statistics is a breeze through your account, allowing you to stay informed and adjust your approach in real-time.
