Facebook is going to shut down its facial recognition system on its social networking platform that is said to be potentially compromising privacy. The features help to identify users in photographs and videos.Meta via a blog post said, “We’re shutting down the Face Recognition system on Facebook. People who’ve opted in will no longer be automatically recognized in photos and videos and we will delete more than a billion people’s individual facial recognition templates.”So now people who have opted into the Face Recognition setting will no longer be automatically recognised in photos and videos and the facial recognition template used to identify them will be deleted as part of this change. According to the company, this change will also have an effect on Automatic Alt Text (AAT) which generates image descriptions for the blind and visually impaired. AAT descriptions will no longer include the names of people recognised in photos after this change but will otherwise function normally. “Making this change required careful consideration because we have seen a number of places where face recognition can be highly valued by people using platforms. For example, our award-winningautomatic alt text system, which uses advanced AI to generate descriptions of images for people who are blind and visually impaired, uses the Face Recognition system to tell them when they or one of their friends is in an image.”Facial recognition tech is used for identity verification, or to prevent fraud and impersonation. However, the many specific instances where facial recognition can be useful must be balanced against growing concerns about the use of this technology in general. Many people are concerned about the role of facial recognition tech in society and regulators are still working to develop a clear set of rules governing its use. In the face of this outgoing uncertainty, the company believes that restricting the use of facial recognition to a limited set of use cases is appropriate. Ending the use of our existing Face Recognition system means the services it enables will be removed over the coming weeks, as will the setting allowing people to opt into the system.

Everyone loves time-lapse. It’s like a stable fast forward video that covers everything and also the size of the video is smaller than the traditional video. Nowadays smartphones come with the timelapse feature as a standard in their camera application. But the problem arises when you have already shot a video and now you want a time-lapse version of it. Well, fret not, here are some simple techniques that you can use to convert any video into a beautiful time-lapse one. Without further ado, let’s get started.
In This Article
Converting in Desktop
It is one of the easiest ways to convert any normal video. The software preferred by us to do this is Microsoft Hyperlapse Pro. It is a versatile application designed by Microsoft to give you an immersive time-lapse experience. Also, the company optimised the application to make the video look a bit natural and smoother. To use it follow the below steps.Step 1 – Download Microsoft Hyperlapse Pro.Step 2 – Launch the application and “New” to select the normal video.Step 3 – Select the portion of the video you want to import.Step 4 – Press Next and then select the speed from speed controls. You can also use the smoothing effect from standard to advance.Step 5 – Sit back and relax until the process is completed.Once completed you will see that timelapse output.Read Also: How to save a Google Docs as a PDF
On Android
Microsoft also made the same application for Android smartphones as well. The procedure is pretty much the same and easy. Here is how you can do it.Step 1 – Download Microsoft Hyperlapse Mobile.Step 2 – Open the application and select from Import or Capture.Step 3 – Choose speed according to the taste.Once the process is completed you will be able to view the converted timelapse natively.
Convert Online
This is a convenient way if you don’t want to install any application on your device. There are many applications that do that for you but our choice for the task is Veed. The interface is very easy and user friendly. Here is how you can use it.Step 1 – Head to Veed.io to change speed.Step 2 – After the video has been uploaded click on the video bar and set the speed to 1.5X.Now press export on the top right corner and you are good to go. You will now have a time-lapse video with you.Read Also: Top 5 speech to text apps for your Android smartphone
Increase Playback speed
If you want to convert regular videos to time-lapse , but don’t care about the quality, just open up any video editing application on any platform. Upload the video on the desired video editing software. Now change the playback speed to 1.5X. This will not create smooth transitions for time-lapse but will show similar effects (Filmora video editing software used for demo images). Users can also shoot Timelapse directly from their smartphones for best results.

Septembers are special, and you don’t need to be a gadget geek or tech freak to have this month marked out on the calendar. Why? It’s that time of the year when Apple introduces the world to a new set of iPhones. We got our hands on the new device and from the get-go, you note two things—it’s one of the costliest smartphones in the Indian market and the iPhone 13 Pro has all the features every iPhone enthusiast wants. But more on that later, let’s first take a closer look at the design.

Apple iPhone 13 Pro review: Subtle but Sophisticated
One of the chief charges that Apple faced with this launch was that it has become a little stagnant when it comes to the design of the iPhones. To a certain extent, all companies have become design stagnant. However, when it comes to the iPhone 13 Pro, while it does look a little like the 11th and the 12th versions, the trained eye will notice subtle differences. Apple enthusiasts should look at it as a challenge, how well do you know the brand to notice these changes.
For starters, the square frame with rounded curves for the exterior shell feels familiar, but it looks a lot more premium than before. (At least in the golden variant that we are testing, this becomes apparent easily.) The camera module at the back has changed slightly, and the notch on the front of the device, which we were hoping would be done away with, this time has thankfully become smaller. A new sierra blue colour variant has been added to the line-up, which stands out for being bold and brilliant.
The Display
The Apple iPhone 13 Pro sports a 6.1-inch super Retina XDR OLED HDR10 ready display that supports a 120Hz refresh rate. What does that imply? It means everything on the screen will be faster. The scrolling experience will buttery smooth. The one place and you will feel the difference is when you will scroll through Instagram posts, Facebook feeds or other social media platforms.
The colours on Apple iPhone 13 Pro seem brighter, the text on the screen is sharper and our experience with platforms such as Netflix and Prime videos was great. This is something that none of the Android smartphones provides. Moreover, if like me you love to play games, the touchscreen of the Apple iPhone 13 Pro is by far the best in the current gen of phones.
Apple iPhone 13 Pro review: Performance Parameters
Under the hood, Apple has put the latest Bionic A15 chipset that is the latest and the fastest from the company. This is coupled with up to 1 TB of storage, so all those who were bickering about the brand, not including a memory card slot in the iPhone can simply buy a larger storage driven iPhone 13 Pro. The RAM and battery size have been bumped up and together with the latest CPU from Apple, the smartphone can open the most intense of games and apps in a blink of an eye. Battery life has become better in the Apple iPhone 13 Pro, too. You will get a few additional hours of playtime if you compare it to the previous version. Also, iPhone 13 Pro is water and dust resistant and comes with an iOS 15 operating system out of the box.
Finger Clicking Good
The Apple iPhone 13 Pro has triple 12 MP cameras that take care of ultra-wide, wide, and telephoto shooting experience. There is a TOF 3D LiDAR sensor included, which is great for adding depth to images. This has become better and the depth in shots is far superior when compared to its previous gen.
Low light shot
Not to forget, the imagery has become much better from all three camera sensors. In our test, we got to see exceptional results in the day and at night. There was hardly a time of the day that we could not adjust the settings and get the shot we wanted from the phone. A new cinematic video mode has been added in the native camera app that will adjust the subject focus automatically. If there are two subjects in the video and one looks away from the camera the focus will automatically move on to the other person. Which by the way can be shot in 4K at 60FPS (frames per second).
Macro photography has also been added to the new iPhone, which clicks very good up close and personal images. The front camera is also powered by a 12MP sensor and can take wide-angle shots. We loved the selfie experience of the Apple iPhone 13 Pro. We got fabulous Instagram-share worthy shots during the day and at night. The camera does perfect justice to your skin tone and adjusts according to the ambient light.
Apple iPhone 13 Pro review: Verdict
It boils down to this: at Rs 1,49,000 (512GB model) it the Apple iPhone 13 Pro worth buying? Yes, if you are looking for the best cameras in a smartphone. Yes, if you want brilliant performance and display. Yes, if you like to game a lot. However, there is just one ‘no’. If you don’t fall into any of the above categories and are using an iPhone 12 Pro version, then you might want to skip this gen and pick the next one. But if you are using iPhone 11 variants or lower, the Apple iPhone 13 Pro is the perfect upgrade for you.
Pros:
Excellent Display
Brilliant performance
Premium built
Cons:
Notch still there
Seen looks

Apple gives support to all their devices for many years, but after a period of time, it leaves it. Support includes iOS updates and security updates. Recently debarred was the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Apple officially announced that it is leaving support for both phones while the iPhone 6S is still hanging by a thread. It’s appreciated that the company is still supporting a 6 years old phone. With the updates stopped on the older iPhone the latest features are not included in the software. One of the most trending features is Dark mode, which was introduced in iOS 13 so obviously, iPhone 6 didn’t get it. But do you still want to get a dark mode like experience? Here are tricks you can use.

Invert Colours
The best way through which you can achieve a dark mode like experience is by using inverted colours. To enable it to follow the below steps.Read Also: Samsung launches new range of Air conditioners in IndiaStep 1 – Open Settings on your iPhoneStep 2 – Head to General.Step 3 – Tap on Display Accommodations.Step 4 – Turn on Invert colours.In the same option, you will be having two options
Smart Invert – Will give a more dark mode like experience while not inverting all the colours
Classic Invert – This will completely reverse all the colours.
The “other” method
Though this is never recommended especially with older phones as if things went wrong you will be left with an expensive paperweight. Try rooting your iPhone, we advise you not to try it if you don’t have any experience with it and doing so will void the warranty(which would have been already finished by the time). If your iPhone is already rooted try using Cydia. In the application head to Sources>Add>Packix APT. In Packix search for carbon dark mode. Click install and confirm. After the installation is finished you can see system-wide dark mode just like the newer iPhones.

The first mode is the safest and the Dark mode for the Ui at least can be achieved by the smart invert option.

AirDrop mainly relies on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to transfer files. The first check during this process should be to ensure that your Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled for you to have an effortless experience. On the Mac, the menu bar clicks on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth one by one to enable it. The prompt will be shown in the AirDrop menu as well.
