All the games included in the catalogue app must link to an individual App Store product page.” Asserting that the App Store is a safe and trusted place for customers to discover and download apps, and a great opportunity for developers, the official blog post by Apple Developer added, “These guideline changes and clarifications support new features in upcoming OS releases, better protect customers, and help your apps go through the review process as smoothly as possible.” Besides this, Apple’s Developer also stated that the apps that are already on the App Store, bug fixes will no longer be delayed over guideline violations except for those related to legal issues.

Zoom rolls out enhanced Two-Factor Authentication: Here’s everything you must know

0
In order to make it easier for admins and organizations to protect their users and prevent security breaches right from our own platform, Zoom has rolled out enhanced Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). The Two-Factor Authentication identifies online users by requiring them to present two or more pieces of evidence, or credentials, that authenticate their ownership of the account, such as something the user knows (a password or pin), something the user owns (a smart card or mobile device), or something the user has (fingerprints, voice). According to an official blog post, the video-conferencing platform revealed that Zoom’s 2FA within our unified communications platform provides a secure way to validate users and protect against security breaches and provides a number of benefits. This includes:
  1. Reduced risk of identity theft and security breaches
With 2FA, organizations can reduce the risk of identity theft and security breaches by adding an extra layer of security that prevents bad actors from accessing accounts by guessing passwords or gaining access to employees’ or students’ devices.
  1. Enhanced compliance
Implementing 2FA helps organizations meet compliance obligations for sensitive data and customer information.
  1. Reduced costs
For small businesses and schools, it can be expensive to pay for an SSO service. Zoom’s 2FA provides a free and effective way to validate users and protect against security breaches.
  1. Easier credential management
2FA provides an additional level of security that spares users from constant password management. With Zoom’s 2FA, users have the option to use authentication apps that support Time-Based One-Time Password (TOTP) protocol (such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, and FreeOTP), or have Zoom send a code via SMS or phone call, as the second factor of the account authentication process. In order to enable Zoom’s 2FA at the account-level for password-based authentication, account admins should take the following steps:
  1. Sign in to the Zoom Dashboard
  2. In the navigation menu, click Advanced, then Security.
  3. Make sure the Sign in with Two-Factor Authentication option is enabled.
  4. Select one of these options to enable 2FA for:
    • All users in your account: Enable 2FA for all users in the account.
    • Users with specific roles: Enable 2FA for roles with the specified roles.
    • Click Select specified roles, choose the roles, and then click OK.
  5. Users belonging to specific groups: Enable 2FA for users that are in the specified groups. Click the pencil icon, choose the groups, and then click OK.
  6. Click ‘Save’ to confirm your 2FA settings.
The two-factor authentication (2FA) is a two-step sign-in process that requires a one-time code from a mobile app or text message, in addition to the main Zoom sign-in. This provides an additional layer of security since users will need access to their phone to sign in to the Zoom web portal, desktop client, mobile app, or Zoom Room.

Android 11 is now available: Here’s everything you must know

0
Android 11 is now official and is all about helping you manage your conversations, connected devices, privacy, and much more. The 11th version of Android is now available on select Google Pixel, OnePlus, Xiaomi, OPPO, and Realme smartphones, with more partners launching and upgrading devices over the coming months. If one is using a Pixel 2 or above they will get additional features to organize and manage your phone, like app suggestions on the home screen based on the daily routines, and new overview actions that allow you to take a screenshot of an app and select text and images. According to Dave Burke, VP, Android Engineering, at Google, “I often find myself switching between multiple messaging apps to stay connected with people I care about. In Android 11, conversations across messaging apps will be moved to a dedicated space in the notifications section, making it easy to manage your conversations in one spot. You can also prioritize conversations from the key people in your life so you never miss an important message.” Furthermore, it has been revealed that Android 11 is people-centric and expressive as it helps developers build deeper conversational and personal interactions into your apps. It is worth noting that conversation notifications appear in a dedicated section at the top of the shade, with a people-forward design and conversation specific actions, such as opening the conversation as a bubble, creating a conversation shortcut on the home screen, or setting a reminder. Bubbles help users keep conversations in view and accessible while multitasking on their devices. Messaging and chat apps should use the Bubbles API on notifications to enable this in Android 11. Besides this, the consolidated keyboard suggestions in Android 11 allow Autofill apps and Input Method Editors (IMEs) securely offer users context-specific entities and strings directly in an IME’s suggestion strip, where they are most convenient for users. It also offers built-in screen recording using which one can capture and share what’s happening on your phone and no extra app required. Additionally, there are new ways to control the connected devices and media as one can now access all your smart devices in one place, simply by long-pressing the power button. “Control your connected devices like your thermostat or smart lock with a tap, so there’s no need to open multiple apps. Media controls have been redesigned and are more helpful than ever. You can now quickly switch the device your media is playing on, so you can take your music with you from your headphones to your speaker without missing a beat,” added Dave Burke. Apart from the above-listed features, an official blog post has added that Android Auto now works wirelessly for all phones running Android 11 as long as you have a compatible vehicle. This means one can bring the best of the phone on every drive while skipping the cable—get directions with a tap, talk to send a text, play favorite media and get help from Google Assistant. Android 11, also offers more control over your privacy and data. In a blog post, Google stated that one-time permissions will allow you to grant single-use access to your most sensitive permissions: microphone, camera, and location. The next time the app needs access to the sensors, it must ask you for your permission again. Moreover, if you haven’t used an app that you installed on your device in a while, you may not want it to keep accessing your data. Android will now “auto-reset” permissions for your unused apps and notify you accordingly. You can always decide to re-grant the app permissions the next time you use the app. With additional Google Play system update-modules, even more security and privacy fixes can be sent to your phone from Google Play, in the same way, your apps update. So the users will get these fixes as soon as they’re available, without having to wait for a full OS update.

Yes, at the September 15 press event the company hints at launching Apple Watch and iPad Air launch other than its new iPhones. This has been confirmed by Guilherme Rambo has managed to track down the meaning of metadata.

This year, we project the supply to be available a few weeks later.” Yes, we are going to see a few weeks delay to the launch of the company’s new iPhone models this year. The coronavirus pandemic has caused issues to the production and supply of iPhone 12 series, therefore, Apple has to reschedule its release.
