In order to deliver unrestricted access to games across every screen, Facebook Gaming has now launched several cloud-streamed games in the Facebook app and on browser that are playable instantly, with no downloads required. However, Facebook revealed that cloud games will not be available on iOS. Therefore, only Android and web players will enjoy integrated cloud games on Facebook as of now.
Mind you! Cloud-streamed games are currently rolling out on Facebook Gaming in two formats:
Full, free-to-play mobile games in a re-launched destination for Play.
Cloud playable ads so people can instantly try out a game on Facebook.
“Even with Apple’s new cloud games policy, we don’t know if launching on the App Store is a viable path. Of course, there is always the open Internet, so mobile browsers may wind up being an option, but there are limitations to what we can offer on Safari. While our iOS path is uncertain, one thing is clear. Apple treats games differently and continues to exert control over a very precious resource. Stay tuned as we work out the best way for people to play games when and how they want, regardless of what device they bought,” said Jason Rubin, VP of Play at Facebook.
Asserting that Cloud gaming announcements are prone to hype, Jason added, “We believe in the long-term future of cloud gaming, but we aren’t going to try to wow you with the wonders of our data centers, compression algorithms, resolutions, or frames per second. Cloud game streaming for the masses still has a way to go, and it’s important to embrace both the advantages and the reality of the technology rather than try to oversell where it’ll be in the future.”
Besides this, Facebook Gaming also notified that is not trying to replace your favorite gaming hardware. It stated that Facebook loves both console and PC gaming. The Mark Zuckerberg- led company believes cloud gaming will increase — not replace — the options to jump into great games.
Cloud gaming is about expanding the types of games Facebook Gaming already offers. Therefore, the company starts with free-to-play games as people love playing that. It also assured masses that the cost of trying our cloud games is $0.
With the launch of the beta for cloud-streamed games on Facebook Gaming, a range of mobile-native games in Android APK formats will be available this week. The list includes Asphalt 9: Legends by Gameloft; Mobile Legends: Adventure by Moonton; PGA TOUR Golf Shootout by Concrete Software, Inc.; Solitaire: Arthur’s Tale by Qublix Games; and WWE SuperCard by 2K. It was further revealed that Facebook Gaming will add Dirt Bike Unchained by Red Bull, and we’ll continue to test new experiences and expand the games library in number, type, and genre.

Acer has been building laptops since ages now and every year they end up surprising us with the latest tech and over the top features, especially in their gaming range. We recently got our hands on the latest from its camp called Acer Nitro 5. This is the 2020 edition of the laptop and here is what we think of the top of the line gaming laptop.
Design and Display
Out of the box, Acer Nitro 5 2020 looks similar to the previous generation with changes on the lid and the rear. The Acer logo can be seen in the middle part of the lid, which has sharp protruding edges. These give the gaming essence to the laptop when seen from afar. Also, the rear exhaust system has been given red accents around it, which again makes it stand out of the crowd.
The overall mix of hard plastic and metal around the body keeps the weight light yet sturdy (2.3Kg). We would have been happier if thicker plastic was used on the lid as right now it is on the flimsier side. This might have been done to keep the weight on the lower side, but one does not mind a few extra grams for protection.
When you open the Acer Nitro 5 2020 you are greeted with a 15.6-inch FHD 144Hz display with regular bezels and a webcam on top. On the bottom part, you get a fairly large RGB light-driven full QWERTY keyboard with Numpad. The off-centre trackpad is right under the keyboard, which on most counts works well. But since this is a gaming laptop, you would hardly be using it. The keys on the keyboard are large and very decent for gaming. However, we must say we have seen better coming from the brand Acer.
The display is very good for gaming and we loved our experience with it, while playing games like DOTA 2 or Counter-Strike: GO. Both ran very well at 120 FPS without breaking a sweat. The speakers on the system are down-firing and at 2W each they bring the movie experience to life, but for gaming, our recommendation is to keep the headphones handy. On the sides, users will find three USB 3.2 gen 2 ports, one 3.5mm audio port, Ethernet jack, USB type-c and an HDMI out port. The charging port is located at the back. Performance
Before we deep dive into how this machine performed overall, let’s quickly tell you about its insides. Available in Intel Core i5 and Core i7 (10th gen) configurations, we reviewed the latter. This one has a clock speed of up to 2.6GHz and is a quad-core CPU. With that, it had 8GB RAM and 128GB of SSD storage along with 1TB HDD space.
For graphics, the Acer Nitro 5 2020 has NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 graphic card, which is its a mid-end graphic card of the series but does a very good job in playing games like PUBG, COD at high settings. The GPU also has 4GB dedicated RAM on it.
Together this makes up for one of the best gaming experiences. Over that, with WiFi 6 onboard and Killer E2600, Acer Nitro 5 2020 makes sure that you do not face any lag during gameplay. The pings stay stable because of the same, no matter which ISP you are on. We tested it with both Act Fibrenet and Airtel WiFi connections and the laptop did not give us any hard time.
When it comes to cooling, this is an aspect that could have been better. When gaming, the laptop does become hot after prolonged use. But it cools down as quickly when you stop gaming. The twin fans do help a lot in keeping the system cool. Switching over to its battery life, we extracted 4.5 hours of backup when not gaming. But when gaming one would want to keep the charger attached since that will supply the right wattage for the graphic card and CPU, so that you can play games at full potential.
Verdict
All in all, Acer Nitro 5 2020 is one of the best gaming machines launched this year. At Rs 1,05,000 (price on the box) this machine does seem to be on the higher side. However, there are a lot of discounts available on it and you can easily get it for Rs 10,000-15,000 cheaper online.
Pros
Excellent gaming experience
Superb display
Latest configuration
Cons
Lid a little flimsy
Gets a bit hot when gaming

Privacy concerns have been on a rise with the introduction of digital technology while children are apparently more vulnerable than adults to privacy online threats as they lack digital skills or awareness of privacy risks. Taking this into account Google has removed three apps from the Play Store that are popular among children. These apps were turned down after a report by the International Digital Accountability Council (IDAC) over privacy violations. The three apps are Princess Salon, Number Coloring, and Cats & Cosplay. All these apps have more than 20 million downloads on Google Play Store.According to a report by International Digital Accountability Council (IDAC) were found to be doing data collection practices by three software development kits (SDKs) used within those apps. The researchers at the non-profit warned Google of potential issues with three SDKs used in those apps – Unity, Umeng, and Appodeal. Taking this issue into account Google itself performed an investigation and immediately removed these apps from Play Store as a corrective action in response.This trio was found to be violating Google’s data collection policies, by hypothetically gaining access to users’ Android ID and AAID (Android Advertising ID) numbers. As per IDAC, SDK versions of Unity, Appodeal, and Umeng used within the three apps were collecting data. While the AAID is the Android’s unique ID used for advertising and, unlike the Android ID (another Android unique identifier), users have the ability to reset their AAID.The AAID is basically the permit for gathering all the user data in one place. For instance, if a company is willing to advertise their brand of potato chips to people who like ice cream, they can contact a platform and pay for their potato chip ad to be shown to users whose AAIDs indicate that they like ice cream. However, when the AAID is linked, or “bridged” with the non-resettable Android ID, it lets companies track users; ID bridging ultimately makes the AAID’s ability to be reset by user’s moot. IDAC’s tests revealed that certain versions of the Unity, Appodeal, and Umeng SDKs were not meeting the requirements with broader Google Play policies around data collection. In addition to this, IDAC’s tests emphasised that certain versions of Unity’s SDK were collecting both the user’s AAID and Android ID at the same time, which may have allowed Unity to bypass privacy controls and track users over time and across devices.

When it comes to testing or video calling WhatsApp is one of the most preferred apps. But other than this you can also use it to make an audio call which for many of us is not so preferred as it cannot record the calls when needed. So addressing this issue we have come up with several methods that will let you record a WhatsApp audio call on your Android device.
How to record WhatsApp audio calls on your Android smartphone?
Technique 1This is the simplest way to record calls on WhatsApp. All you need to do is while having a conversation turn on the speaker of your phone and record the conversation on another mobile phone. This can be done by downloading a third-party app from the Play Store. We recommend you go for the Voice Recorder app as we have also used it and it records and delivers clear audio.If this method doesn’t work for you as you do not have a secondary phone then in this care you can download the Otter.ai app on your laptop. This app works well and automatically transcripts voice calls on a real-time basis. So just hit on the record button and it will start recording the audio call. This app not only helps you recording audio calls but also brings to you a text version of it however it only supports the English language. Technique 2This method works when you do not have any other device such as a handset or a laptop. In that case, there are a couple of call recording apps available on the Google Play Store. Many of them only work for recording normal audio calls so you can try out “Record WhatsApp calls” on the Play Store that will let you record voice calls on WhatsApp. Just like any other call recorder the app automatically records your WhatsApp calls. While all the audio files can be found on Google Drive. Remember that WhatsApp is an end-to-end messaging service so whenever you choose to go for this method to record a call you need to grand access to a third-party app to listen in you better be aware of the risks. How to use “Record WhatsApp calls”?
Download “Record WhatsApp calls” on your Android smartphone
Now grant the app access to your calls, contacts, storage, microphone, and others.
Then enable the “Notification” and “Accessibility” sections in the Settings.
After giving the permissions to the app whenever you get a voice call or you make one using WhatsApp the app will automatically start recording the call.

Rendering to a research done by the antivirus firm Avast 21 adware gaming apps on Google’s Play Store. After taking this into account the researcher has reported Google reportedly Google is still investigating and out of the 21 apps 19 are still available on the Play Store. As per the firm, the adware is part of the HiddenAds family that is pretending to be Trojan malware.The Cybersecurity firm Avast says that this adware displays intrusive ads and tempting users into downloading the adware by posing as gaming apps. The apps promise to virtually “let your car fly across the road, trees, hills”, to shoot criminals from a helicopter, or, for household enthusiasts, allow players to virtually iron their clothes. While a mobile apps marketing intelligence and insights company SensorTower estimates that these so far, these masked apps have been downloaded about eight million times.On the other hand, many of the reviews on the Google Play Store indicates that these apps misled users on the Play Store via advertisements on YouTube, promising a different game than what the app ultimately offered. Following the download, advertisements started flooding their phones.Jakub Vávra, Threat Analyst at Avast said, “Developers of adware are increasingly using social media channels as regular marketers would. This time, users reported they were targeted with ads promoting the games on YouTube. In September we saw adware spread via TikTok. The popularity of these social networks makes them an attractive advertising platform, also for cybercriminals, to target a younger audience.” He further added, While Google is doing everything possible to prevent HiddenAds from entering its Play Store, the malicious apps keep finding new ways to disguise their true purpose, thus slipping through to the platform and then to users’ phones. Users need to be vigilant when downloading applications to their phones and are advised to check the applications’ profile, reviews and to be mindful of extensive device permission requests.”As stated by Avast these gaming apps are a part of HiddenAds family is aTrojan disguised as a safe and useful application but instead serves intrusive ads outside of the app. Here is the list of HiddenAds applications on Google Play Store:

The overall mix of hard plastic and metal around the body keeps the weight light yet sturdy (2.3Kg). We would have been happier if thicker plastic was used on the lid as right now it is on the flimsier side. This might have been done to keep the weight on the lower side, but one does not mind a few extra grams for protection.
When you open the Acer Nitro 5 2020 you are greeted with a 15.6-inch FHD 144Hz display with regular bezels and a webcam on top. On the bottom part, you get a fairly large RGB light-driven full QWERTY keyboard with Numpad. The off-centre trackpad is right under the keyboard, which on most counts works well. But since this is a gaming laptop, you would hardly be using it. The keys on the keyboard are large and very decent for gaming. However, we must say we have seen better coming from the brand Acer.

The display is very good for gaming and we loved our experience with it, while playing games like DOTA 2 or Counter-Strike: GO. Both ran very well at 120 FPS without breaking a sweat. The speakers on the system are down-firing and at 2W each they bring the movie experience to life, but for gaming, our recommendation is to keep the headphones handy. On the sides, users will find three USB 3.2 gen 2 ports, one 3.5mm audio port, Ethernet jack, USB type-c and an HDMI out port. The charging port is located at the back. 
Performance
Before we deep dive into how this machine performed overall, let’s quickly tell you about its insides. Available in Intel Core i5 and Core i7 (10th gen) configurations, we reviewed the latter. This one has a clock speed of up to 2.6GHz and is a quad-core CPU. With that, it had 8GB RAM and 128GB of SSD storage along with 1TB HDD space.
For graphics, the Acer Nitro 5 2020 has NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 graphic card, which is its a mid-end graphic card of the series but does a very good job in playing games like PUBG, COD at high settings. The GPU also has 4GB dedicated RAM on it.
Together this makes up for one of the best gaming experiences. Over that, with WiFi 6 onboard and Killer E2600, Acer Nitro 5 2020 makes sure that you do not face any lag during gameplay. The pings stay stable because of the same, no matter which ISP you are on. We tested it with both Act Fibrenet and Airtel WiFi connections and the laptop did not give us any hard time.
When it comes to cooling, this is an aspect that could have been better. When gaming, the laptop does become hot after prolonged use. But it cools down as quickly when you stop gaming. The twin fans do help a lot in keeping the system cool. Switching over to its battery life, we extracted 4.5 hours of backup when not gaming. But when gaming one would want to keep the charger attached since that will supply the right wattage for the graphic card and CPU, so that you can play games at full potential.
Verdict
All in all, Acer Nitro 5 2020 is one of the best gaming machines launched this year. At Rs 1,05,000 (price on the box) this machine does seem to be on the higher side. However, there are a lot of discounts available on it and you can easily get it for Rs 10,000-15,000 cheaper online.
Pros
Excellent gaming experience
Superb display
Latest configuration
Cons
Lid a little flimsy
Gets a bit hot when gaming
