Blizzard is porting several of its PC titles over to Steam. The company has officially announced that Overwatch 2 will be the first game that will be brought to Steam. It is a free-to-play, always-on, and ever-evolving live game. The recent announcement comes just before Blizzard’s upcoming takeover by Microsoft. Also, its player’s interest is rapidly declining.On August 10, Overwatch 2 will be made available on Steam. Blizzard via its blog post shared the news to bring a number of its PC titles to Steam, starting with Overwatch 2. The Overwatch 2 Steam page is live now and is available to Wishlist.Also Read:Twitter Rebranded: Twitter logo has got a new look, the blue bird logo replaced with an X“It’s our goal at Blizzard to listen to players and try to exceed their expectations in everything we do,” said Mike Ybarra, President of Blizzard Entertainment. “While Battle.net remains a priority for us now and into the future, we’ve heard players want the choice of Steam for a selection of our games, starting with Overwatch 2 on August 10th. We’re happy to work with Valve to make that happen.”Blizzard claims that despite its continued commitment to investing in and supporting Battle.net, the company believes that gaming is no longer just for a select group of people as it was when Battle.net first launched over 20 years ago. Instead, it is for everyone, and Blizzard wants to remove any obstacles that prevent players from finding and enjoying their favourite games anywhere in the world.Reports claim that the majority of Overwatch users have lost interest and aren’t playing anymore, Blizzard’s PvE strategies are said to be one factor in this. One of the main attractions of the upcoming Overwatch game was the free mode, but after numerous delays, the concept was completely shelved, sparking a storm of criticism.Overwatch 2: Invasion is debuting with more brand-new gameplay experiences. These experiences include the first-ever set of PvE Story Missions, a new core PvP game mode with two new maps, and of course, a new hero. For new players, it’s a wonderful chance to take advantage of their introduction to the Overwatch universe.Overwatch 2 is available on Steam in addition to Battle.net, allowing the community that already accesses the game through Battle.net to continue playing without any modifications. Overwatch 2 players on Steam will still need to link their accounts to Battle.net, as we do for all platforms, in order to enable cross-platform play and other features.Blizzard says that while playing Overwatch 2, players who use Steam will have access to features like Steam achievements, their Steam friends list, and the ability to send them in-game invites.

Today, Twitter officially replaced its popular blue bird logo with a plain white X on a dark backdrop. A white X written on a black background was used as the new Twitter logo.
Elon Musk and Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino’s Twitter handle presented the new logo design on Monday in favour of the new revamp. However, the logo has been receiving a lot of criticism and #GoodByeTwitter and #RIPTwitter is currently trending on the microblogging platform.
This news was first shared by Twitter’s chief on Sunday saying, “And soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds.”
For those who are unaware the SpaceX and Tesla CEO has been obsessed with the letter X since the 1990s. He introduced the X.com domain, a forerunner to PayPal, which offered online banking services, in 1999. The X.com domain was repurchased by him in 2017 saying it had a sentimental value. However, the modification is part of a larger branding campaign launched when Elon Musk acquired the platform.
Note that this is not the first time that the Twitter logo has been replaced. In April this year, the popular blue bird was temporarily replaced with Dogecoin’s Shiba Inu dog.
Musk tweeted a photograph of the Twitter headquarters in San Francisco with the X branding projected across it early this morning.
Twitter’s CEO, Linda Yaccarino also tweeted: “It’s an exceptionally rare thing – in life or in business – that you get a second chance to make another big impression. Twitter made one massive impression and changed the way we communicate. Now, X will go further, transforming the global town square.”
She further twitted, “X is the future state of unlimited interactivity – centered in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking – creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities. Powered by AI, X will connect us all in ways we’re just beginning to imagine.”

Laptops are the most essential part of our daily routine especially if you are a working professional. Whether your laptop is old or new, cheap or expensive, its sound quality is dubious and we need to boost laptop audio.

Next, go to Manage Audio Devices. This will open a new window.
Click on the audio device you are using and then click on properties.
In the properties window change the tab to Enhancement, here you will find Headphone Virtualization and Loudness Equalization.
Adjust them according to preferences.
3. Enable Bass Boost from Windows Control Panel
Low or no bass can be a mood killer for audio preferences. However, you can always boost the bass on your laptop. Here’s how:
On your laptop launch Control Panel.
Next, go to Hardware and Sound.
Then go to Manage Audio Devices. This will open a new window.

Instagram may have started as an image-sharing platform but right now its biggest attraction is bite-sized content in the form of Reels. To enter the world of Reels, all you have to do is tap the play icon at the bottom menu. Unlike YouTube Shorts, you cannot pause a Reel by simply tapping on it once. A single tap mutes the Reel instead of pausing it. The latter can be achieved by tapping and holding the screen. If you’re still not able to pause Instagram Reels and videos, here are some common fixes for the issue.Read Also:Find and Follow Your Instagram Friends on Threads: Top 4 Ways
Clear app cache
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 Instagram
Step 1: Go to Settings.Step 2: Scroll down and select Apps.Step 3: Scroll down and select Instagram.Step 4: Select Force Stop from the bottom menu.
Clean your phone’s screen
In order to pause an Instagram Video or Reel, you need to tap and hold it. This gesture won’t register if there’s something wrong with your phone’s touchscreen. It is common for the touchscreen to malfunction when there’s some moisture or dirt on it. Wipe it clean using a micro fibre cloth and try again. Additionally, make sure your hands aren’t wet as well.
Remove the screen protector
A faulty screen protector can create problems on the touchscreen. Some parts of the screen may become unresponsive. This may lead to Instagram Reels and videos not pausing when you press and hold the touchscreen. Remove the screen protector from your phone and try again.
Increase touch sensitivity
If you don’t want to remove the screen protector, you can simply increase your screen’s touch sensitivity in order to make it work. With heightened sensitivity, your phone’s touchscreen can pick up the faint touches that would otherwise go unnoticed because of the screen protector getting in the way. Go to Settings>Display and switch on the toggle bar for Touch sensitivity.
Restart your phone
Restarting your phone can fix any minor background issues on the OS or any one of the apps. Simply press and hold the side key and volume down key and select ‘Restart’ from the power options. Once your phone has rebooted, launch the Instagram app and check if you are able to pause Reels and videos again.
Update the Instagram app
If you are using an older version of the Instagram app, chances are that the issue you are facing has already been fixed with an update. Simply go to the Google Play Store, search for Instagram, and hit the ‘Update’ option. Once the app has been updated, you will be able to pause the Reels and videos again.
Use Instagram Lite
Instagram Lite is the stripped-down version of the Instagram app that uses considerably less data. If you’re facing issues on the main app, use the Lite app until the developers patch the problem. The browsing experience on Instagram Lite is identical to the main app side from one key difference. The Lite app doesn’t pre-load the Reels. This means every Reel will take a couple of seconds to buffer before loading on the screen.
Why are Instagram Reels and videos not pausing on my phone?
A faulty touchscreen and an older version of the app may be the reason why you are not able to pause the Reels and videos on Instagram.
How do I fix the ‘Reels won’t pause’ issue on Instagram?
Force stop the Instagram app and clear its cache. Additionally, make sure the screen protector isn’t impeding the performance of the touchscreen. Give the touchscreen a good wipe as well.Read Also:Samsung Galaxy M34 Review: Ticks all the essential boxes

Samsung’s M-series is known for its big battery smartphones that can easily last you more than a day. Back in May, we reviewed the Galaxy M14, which proved to be a solid smartphone under Rs 15,000. Now Samsung is back with another addition to the M-series lineup. The Galaxy M34 is slightly pricier than its younger sibling, M14. With a 6,000 mAh battery, this smartphone promises to last for 2 days. But how does it perform in other aspects? Read our Samsung Galaxy M34 review to find out.Read Also:5 Superhero movies you should not miss releasing in the next few months
Samsung Galaxy M34 review: Design and Display
Samsung has brought uniformity to their smartphone releases this year. This isn’t just restricted to the design language of the phones, but also their retail boxes. The Samsung Galaxy M34 ships inside a sleek rectangular box, as opposed to the bulky M Series boxes of the past. While sleek is almost always good, this is certainly one of the exceptions. Upon unboxing the package you will realise that it doesn’t ship with a power adapter. A sad trend which has now found its way to affordable smartphones as well. Nevertheless, inside the box, you get the smartphone, some reading material, a SIM ejector tool, and a USB Type-C charging cable.The Samsung Galaxy M34 retains the all-too-familiar design of the flagship S Series. The plastic back panel horses the vertically arranged triple camera setup. While we like that an affordable smartphone gets the same design as the company’s flagship release, we do miss every smartphone having its own unique personality.The plastic back of this smartphone attracts fingerprints and smudges very easily. Using this smartphone in the thick of the monsoons when humidity levels are at their highest meant constantly wiping the back to get rid of any unwanted smudges. You can also bypass this problem by slapping a case on the phone. The right edge of the curved frame houses the volume rocker and the side button. The side button also doubles as a fingerprint scanner. The hybrid SIM slot has been positioned on the left side of the frame. At the bottom, you get the 3.5mm headphone jack, a USB Type-C port, a primary microphone, and the speaker grille. The secondary microphone has been placed at the top edge of the frame.The highlight of this smartphone is its 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display that has a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz. With a peak brightness of 1,000 nits, this display is perfectly legible under direct sunlight. The touch response is phenomenal, something that we’ve come to expect from Samsung smartphones. We’d suggest splurging some extra cash and going for the M34 over the M14 for this display alone.We played HD content on the M14 across different OTT services. The quality of images relayed on the screen left no room for complaint. If you’re upgrading from a smartphone with an LCD display, you’ll immediately notice the richness in colour that this display produces along with those deep deep blacks. While this smartphone is great for media consumption, the only thing that keeps it from being ideal is the single-speaker grille. If there’s a loud fan running in the background, you will need to plug in a pair of headphones. The single speaker unit simply isn’t powerful enough to overcome the noisy environment.
Samsung Galaxy M34 review: Performance and Cameras
Samsung Galaxy M34 is available in a storage capacity of 128GB with two RAM variants – 6GB and 8GB. Powering this smartphone is Samsung’s in-house Exynos 1280 SoC. OS duties are handled by Android 13 with One UI 5.1 on top. The 6GB RAM variant is priced at Rs 18,000 while the 8GB variant costs Rs 19,000.We used the M34 for a range of tasks and it didn’t display any gaping flaws in its performance. The smartphone managed to handle basic tasks like media playback, instant messaging, social media browsing, and more with absolute ease. We ran a dozen apps in the background, and the smartphone did a good job of optimising their usage without affecting the overall performance. We did not experience any lags or jitters in everyday use.However, the smartphone did get warm and presented a few hiccups while carrying out heavy tasks like video recording and editing, navigation, and rigorous gaming. We played Call of Duty Mobile on this smartphone and were left a bit underwhelmed. Simply put, the Exynos SoC is just not good enough to carry seamless gameplay. Framedrops were a little too common and the experience lacked the ideal level of fluidity. On the Geekbench 6 test, this smartphone got a single-core score of 943 points and a multi-core score of 2,033 points. This isn’t too far from Galaxy M14’s score of 921 and 2,056 points.While the M34’s performance may have left a little more to be desired, it did not let us down on the OS front. You get the full One UI experience on this smartphone, while its younger sibling, M14, has to settle for the Core version of the OS. Another reason to go for the M34 over the M14. You get special features like Secure folder, Knox security, Bixby routine, Link to Windows, Samsung Health, Samsung Pay, and more on the Galaxy M34.The 6,000 mAh battery on this device is one of its major selling points. We were easily able to push the battery backup on this smartphone to two days on moderate usage. This even included watching a couple of hour-long episodes on Netflix and twenty-minute gaming sessions. At the end of the second day, we had about 10% charge left. If you cut down on gaming and media consumption, you can easily push this smartphone to the third day. With 25W charging, the M34 takes a little over 90 minutes to charge.We did not have high hopes for the Galaxy M34 when it came to the camera performance. After all, this smartphone is known for its battery. But the results from the 50MP primary camera left us pleasantly surprised.The images taken in outdoor conditions had the perfect balance of colour richness and saturation. In some cases, we felt the sky was left underexposed when it formed the background of the image, but overall, we were quite happy with the results. The colours truly ‘popped’ in the images and the level of detail was quite impressive.Images taken from the 8MP ultrawide lens are on the softer side, but they still retain the richness in colour. Most smartphones in this price range don’t offer an ultrawide lens at all, so its inclusion in the camera array is good to see. You certainly won’t be ignoring this lens while taking images from the M34.Ultrawide LensUltrawide lensThe camera app on this smartphone also has a Portrait Mode. The M34 does a good job of edge detection and subject separation. Again, the colours in this mode were tuned to near perfection. We also took some shots in Night Mode, but it failed to leave a mark. The phone relies on a good amount of artificial lighting to take passable shots.Portrait ModeNight Mode vs Without Night ModeThe 13MP selfie camera produces decent results. We like that there’s no overt skin tone correction. The selfies we took managed to capture a good amount of detail. The Portrait Mode produced good results for the front camera as well. The ‘Fun’ mode built into the camera lets you play around with different Snapchat filters.Read Also:What is the difference between the Home Screen and Lock Screen on iPhone?

While fiddling with your iPhone’s appearance and customisation, you may have come across different wallpaper settings for the home screen and the lock screen. You can choose to set different wallpapers for the two screens or just settle with one wallpaper to maintain uniformity. But what exactly do the two screens mean? And what is the difference between them? Let’s take a closer look.Read Also:How to Monitor an iPhone: Top 5 iPhone Monitoring Apps
iPhone Home Screen vs Lock Screen: Key Differences
Your iPhone’s home screen is like the front page of your device. This is where you’ll find all your installed apps and the system widgets. The home screen has different pages that can be accessed using right and left swipes. You can choose to rearrange the apps and even group them together in a folder. You can add new pages to the home screen and dedicate them to a set of apps. Unlike Android, iOS does not have an ‘app drawer’. Instead, it has an App Library, which is always the last page of the home screen. This is where you’ll find all the installed apps on your iPhone. Once you remove an app from the home screen, it can still be accessed from the App Library.The lock screen is what you’re greeted with when you wake up your iPhone. As the name suggests, the lock screen keeps the contents of your iPhone locked until it is provided with the password, Face ID, or the appropriate fingerprint. While its functionality can be pretty limited, there is a lot of stuff you can do on the lock screen. You can check your phone’s notifications, check the time, play the next song, and play around with other widgets on the lock screen. You can even use your iPhone’s camera directly from the lock screen without unlocking the device. You will be able to take pictures and check out the previews, but the camera app will prevent you from viewing the entire media library until your iPhone has been unlocked.When you’re customising your iPhone, you can add different wallpapers and widgets to both screens in order to make your device more unique. While settings single wallpaper for the two screens is easy, it can get pretty boring really quickly. Read this article to find out how you can set a different wallpaper for the home screen and lock screen on iOS 16. While customising the lock screen, you should remember to add the widgets that cut down your reliance on the home screen. For example, you don’t always need to unlock your phone to check the weather, battery status, and time. Add these widgets to the lock screen to make things smoother.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between the home screen and the lock screen on iPhone?
The home screen is the main page of your iPhone while the lock screen is the page you are greeted with when you wake up the phone. In order to access the home screen you have to enter the device password on the lock screen.
Can I set different wallpapers for the lock screen and home screen on iPhone?
Yes, your iPhone allows you to set different passwords for the home screen and lock screen. Go to Settings>Wallpaper to browse and set wallpapers.

Artificial Intelligence has taken the world by storm. Every company is in a race to build its own Generative AI Framework to stay ahead of the competition. After Snapchat’s AI, Meta’s Llama 2, Apple Inc is also about to enter the AI market by launching its own generative AI framework that can be known as Apple GPT. Artificial Intelligence refers to human intelligence in a machine. Artificial Intelligence is built with the help of machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, computer vision and robotics.

What to know about Apple GPT
Apple’s Generative AI Framework is still in the development stages and is not ready to be launched anytime soon. Apple is currently building its own Generative AI that will be competing with Open AI’s Chat GPT, Google Bard and Microsoft Bing’s AI. Reports suggest that Apple has generated its own AI framework known as Ajax that will be creating large language models for the organisation. Ajax runs on Google Cloud and was built with the help of Google JAX. According to a report by Mark Gurman in Bloomberg News, Apple is testing its chatbot within the organization and will be rolling it out in 2024. The chatbot is developed by skilled engineers and is being widely used within the organisation but only for selected employees. This may not be the first instance that Apple will be experimenting with AI. Before this, in 2023 Apple introduced iOS 17 which comes packed with AI-infused elements. Apple has already incorporated Artificial Intelligence in its devices ranging from FaceTime to the all-new Personal Voice feature in which you train the AI to replicate your voice on iPhone. Apple’s main Artificial Intelligence product Siri was an instant hit when first launched. Later this year, Apple will also be launching the much-awaited Apple Watch which will be having several AI-based health elements. However, Apple has still not joined the AI chatbot race yet. In a recent interview, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook stated that AI chatbot technology might e having potential but there are several issues that need to be addressed. He also said that Apple will be incorporating AI in its products but that will be done on a very thoughtful basis. Reports suggest that Apple is soon going to launch a new health coaching service that uses Artificial intelligence to personalise plans by collecting data from Apple Watch

Conclusion
Generative Artificial Intelligence tools are used to create essays, images and even videos based on prompts. Apple might have progressed in Artificial Intelligence but it is yet to enter the race of generative AI framework. There are only speculations regarding this matter that Apple has been using self-developed generative AI internally but confirmation is yet awaited regarding the same. Stay tuned to Gadget Bridge as we will bring you more developments happening in the field within the next few weeks.

iPhones are known for their state-of-the-art security features but it does not mean they are impenetrable. Once a monitoring app has been installed on an iPhone, it can silently collect data in stealth mode and report back to the person that installed it. While this is highly unethical, some parents prefer these apps to keep tabs on their kids. Here are the top 5 monitoring apps for iPhone that you can download right now.Read Also:Redmi Watch 3 Active India launch to take place on August 1
mSpy
One of the most powerful phone monitoring apps around, mSpy gives you complete access to an iPhone once it is installed on it. The best part is that it does not require jailbreaking your phone. Through mSpy, you can monitor an iPhone’s call history, texts, social media usage, location history, and more. mSpy also lets you record the target device’s screen. If you can’t access ephemeral messages, simply record the iPhone’s screen when they are being sent.
uMobix
Like mSpy, uMobix does not require jailbreak access to work on an iPhone. Once it has been installed on an iPhone, you can use it to view call and message history along with monitoring the social media usage and app activity on the device. uMobix has a couple of unique features that parents will find helpful. The app alerts you whenever the name of a contact is changed on the target device. It also allows you to block any app and restrict access to certain features. If you want to keep tabs on your kids’ smartphone activity, uMobix is a good entry-level app.
FlexiSpy
Unlike other apps so far, FlexiSpy only works on iPhones that have been jailbroken. You may be able to use the basic features of the app on regular iPhones, but the advanced features require jailbreak access. Once installed, this app gives you absolute control over an iPhone. Some functions of the app certainly lie in the unethical category, but if the situation absolutely demands it, this app will carry out the task for you. Apart from basic monitoring features, FlexiSpy lets you listen to live calls and trigger the camera or microphone at any given time.
Cocospy
Cocospy can carry out the basic monitoring tasks that every other spy app can, but it also has the added feature of tracking Discord activity. Most monitoring apps fail to log Discord activity, creating a blind spot for the user. The app goes undetected in the target iPhone and silently does all the work. The only downside is that it requires jailbreak access to work on an iPhone. Prices for Cocospy start at $10.83 per month.

Google is looking into utilising artificial intelligence capabilities to write news articles. Reportedly the tech giant has recently demonstrated the AI technology to new organisations like The New York Times, and The Washington Post owned by The Wall Street Journal to support journalists generate news pieces using the AI tool while saving time.According to a report, Google’s new AI tool for generating new articles is internally known as “Genesis”. The tools are capable of gathering data and producing news content.“The tool, known internally by the working title Genesis, can take in information — details of current events, for example — and generate news content, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the product,” the stated NY Times.Google believes that this tech tool will responsibly help steer the publishing industry away from the pitfalls of generative AI. The company also thought it could act as a sort of personal assistant for journalists, automating some tasks to free up time for others.Google has spoken with a number of publications, including The New York Times, The Washington Post and News Corp, which owns The Wall Street Journal. As per the report by NY Times, a few company executives who looked at Google’s offer described it as alarming, asking not to be identified discussing a confidential matter. While two people said it seemed to take for granted the effort that went into producing accurate and artful news stories.Google’s spokeswoman Jenn Crider stated, “in partnership with news publishers, especially smaller publishers, we’re in the earliest stages of exploring ideas to potentially provide A.I.-enabled tools to help their journalists with their work.”She further added, “Quite simply, these tools are not intended to, and cannot, replace the essential role journalists have in reporting, creating and fact-checking their articles.” On the contrary, they might offer alternatives for headlines and other writing ese.While some organisations are already using AI to generate news stories, Google’s new AI tool for creating new articles will probably raise concerns because articles produced by AI that haven’t been meticulously fact-checked or corrected have the potential for spreading false information. Also, it will be difficult for readers to distinguish between content created by humans and AI tech.

If you don’t want to remove the screen protector, you can simply increase your screen’s touch sensitivity in order to make it work. With heightened sensitivity, your phone’s touchscreen can pick up the faint touches that would otherwise go unnoticed because of the screen protector getting in the way. Go to Settings>Display and switch on the toggle bar for Touch sensitivity.
Restarting your phone can fix any minor background issues on the OS or any one of the apps. Simply press and hold the side key and volume down key and select ‘Restart’ from the power options. Once your phone has rebooted, launch the Instagram app and check if you are able to pause Reels and videos again.

The Samsung Galaxy M34 retains the all-too-familiar design of the flagship S Series. The plastic back panel horses the vertically arranged triple camera setup. While we like that an affordable smartphone gets the same design as the company’s flagship release, we do miss every smartphone having its own unique personality.
The plastic back of this smartphone attracts fingerprints and smudges very easily. Using this smartphone in the thick of the monsoons when humidity levels are at their highest meant constantly wiping the back to get rid of any unwanted smudges. You can also bypass this problem by slapping a case on the phone. The right edge of the curved frame houses the volume rocker and the side button. The side button also doubles as a fingerprint scanner. The hybrid SIM slot has been positioned on the left side of the frame. At the bottom, you get the 3.5mm headphone jack, a USB Type-C port, a primary microphone, and the speaker grille. The secondary microphone has been placed at the top edge of the frame.
The highlight of this smartphone is its 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display that has a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz. With a peak brightness of 1,000 nits, this display is perfectly legible under direct sunlight. The touch response is phenomenal, something that we’ve come to expect from Samsung smartphones. We’d suggest splurging some extra cash and going for the M34 over the M14 for this display alone.
We played HD content on the M14 across different OTT services. The quality of images relayed on the screen left no room for complaint. If you’re upgrading from a smartphone with an LCD display, you’ll immediately notice the richness in colour that this display produces along with those deep deep blacks. While this smartphone is great for media consumption, the only thing that keeps it from being ideal is the single-speaker grille. If there’s a loud fan running in the background, you will need to plug in a pair of headphones. The single speaker unit simply isn’t powerful enough to overcome the noisy environment.
We used the M34 for a range of tasks and it didn’t display any gaping flaws in its performance. The smartphone managed to handle basic tasks like media playback, instant messaging, social media browsing, and more with absolute ease. We ran a dozen apps in the background, and the smartphone did a good job of optimising their usage without affecting the overall performance. We did not experience any lags or jitters in everyday use.
However, the smartphone did get warm and presented a few hiccups while carrying out heavy tasks like video recording and editing, navigation, and rigorous gaming. We played Call of Duty Mobile on this smartphone and were left a bit underwhelmed. Simply put, the Exynos SoC is just not good enough to carry seamless gameplay. Framedrops were a little too common and the experience lacked the ideal level of fluidity. On the Geekbench 6 test, this smartphone got a single-core score of 943 points and a multi-core score of 2,033 points. This isn’t too far from Galaxy M14’s score of 921 and 2,056 points.
While the M34’s performance may have left a little more to be desired, it did not let us down on the OS front. You get the full One UI experience on this smartphone, while its younger sibling, M14, has to settle for the Core version of the OS. Another reason to go for the M34 over the M14. You get special features like Secure folder, Knox security, Bixby routine, Link to Windows, Samsung Health, Samsung Pay, and more on the Galaxy M34.
The 6,000 mAh battery on this device is one of its major selling points. We were easily able to push the battery backup on this smartphone to two days on moderate usage. This even included watching a couple of hour-long episodes on Netflix and twenty-minute gaming sessions. At the end of the second day, we had about 10% charge left. If you cut down on gaming and media consumption, you can easily push this smartphone to the third day. With 25W charging, the M34 takes a little over 90 minutes to charge.
We did not have high hopes for the Galaxy M34 when it came to the camera performance. After all, this smartphone is known for its battery. But the results from the 50MP primary camera left us pleasantly surprised.
The images taken in outdoor conditions had the perfect balance of colour richness and saturation. In some cases, we felt the sky was left underexposed when it formed the background of the image, but overall, we were quite happy with the results. The colours truly ‘popped’ in the images and the level of detail was quite impressive.
Images taken from the 8MP ultrawide lens are on the softer side, but they still retain the richness in colour. Most smartphones in this price range don’t offer an ultrawide lens at all, so its inclusion in the camera array is good to see. You certainly won’t be ignoring this lens while taking images from the M34.

Your iPhone’s home screen is like the front page of your device. This is where you’ll find all your installed apps and the system widgets. The home screen has different pages that can be accessed using right and left swipes. You can choose to rearrange the apps and even group them together in a folder. You can add new pages to the home screen and dedicate them to a set of apps. Unlike Android, iOS does not have an ‘app drawer’. Instead, it has an App Library, which is always the last page of the home screen. This is where you’ll find all the installed apps on your iPhone. Once you remove an app from the home screen, it can still be accessed from the App Library.
The lock screen is what you’re greeted with when you wake up your iPhone. As the name suggests, the lock screen keeps the contents of your iPhone locked until it is provided with the password, Face ID, or the appropriate fingerprint. While its functionality can be pretty limited, there is a lot of stuff you can do on the lock screen. You can check your phone’s notifications, check the time, play the next song, and play around with other widgets on the lock screen. You can even use your iPhone’s camera directly from the lock screen without unlocking the device. You will be able to take pictures and check out the previews, but the camera app will prevent you from viewing the entire media library until your iPhone has been unlocked.
When you’re customising your iPhone, you can add different wallpapers and widgets to both screens in order to make your device more unique. While settings single wallpaper for the two screens is easy, it can get pretty boring really quickly. Read this article to find out how you can set a different wallpaper for the home screen and lock screen on iOS 16. While customising the lock screen, you should remember to add the widgets that cut down your reliance on the home screen. For example, you don’t always need to unlock your phone to check the weather, battery status, and time. Add these widgets to the lock screen to make things smoother.

The chatbot is developed by skilled engineers and is being widely used within the organisation but only for selected employees. This may not be the first instance that Apple will be experimenting with AI. Before this, in 2023 Apple introduced iOS 17 which comes packed with AI-infused elements.
Apple has already incorporated Artificial Intelligence in its devices ranging from FaceTime to the all-new Personal Voice feature in which you train the AI to replicate your voice on iPhone. Apple’s main Artificial Intelligence product Siri was an instant hit when first launched. Later this year, Apple will also be launching the much-awaited Apple Watch which will be having several AI-based health elements. However, Apple has still not joined the AI chatbot race yet.
In a recent interview, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook stated that AI chatbot technology might e having potential but there are several issues that need to be addressed. He also said that Apple will be incorporating AI in its products but that will be done on a very thoughtful basis. Reports suggest that Apple is soon going to launch a new health coaching service that uses Artificial intelligence to personalise plans by collecting data from Apple Watch

One of the most powerful phone monitoring apps around, mSpy gives you complete access to an iPhone once it is installed on it. The best part is that it does not require jailbreaking your phone. Through mSpy, you can monitor an iPhone’s call history, texts, social media usage, location history, and more. mSpy also lets you record the target device’s screen. If you can’t access ephemeral messages, simply record the iPhone’s screen when they are being sent.
Like mSpy, uMobix does not require jailbreak access to work on an iPhone. Once it has been installed on an iPhone, you can use it to view call and message history along with monitoring the social media usage and app activity on the device. uMobix has a couple of unique features that parents will find helpful. The app alerts you whenever the name of a contact is changed on the target device. It also allows you to block any app and restrict access to certain features. If you want to keep tabs on your kids’ smartphone activity, uMobix is a good entry-level app.
Unlike other apps so far, FlexiSpy only works on iPhones that have been jailbroken. You may be able to use the basic features of the app on regular iPhones, but the advanced features require jailbreak access. Once installed, this app gives you absolute control over an iPhone. Some functions of the app certainly lie in the unethical category, but if the situation absolutely demands it, this app will carry out the task for you. Apart from basic monitoring features, FlexiSpy lets you listen to live calls and trigger the camera or microphone at any given time.
Cocospy can carry out the basic monitoring tasks that every other spy app can, but it also has the added feature of tracking Discord activity. Most monitoring apps fail to log Discord activity, creating a blind spot for the user. The app goes undetected in the target iPhone and silently does all the work. The only downside is that it requires jailbreak access to work on an iPhone. Prices for Cocospy start at $10.83 per month.
Spyic does not require a jailbreak to work on an iPhone. The app has a very helpful geofencing feature, which lets you know when the target device has entered a restricted area. You can also program this feature to carry out certain tasks whenever the device reaches the marked area. Apart from that, Spyic carries out all the important monitoring tasks. You can view the messages, social media activity, call history of the user, and more with absolute ease. Prices for Spyic start at $9.99 per month.
