Twitter Now Allows All Users to Opt for a ‘Professional Account Twitter, the famous social media platform, has announced that its "Professional Accounts" profile feature is now available to all users. Users have to apply for their account to be transformed into a professional account up until now. Everyone on the site can now choose to become a professional account from their account settings.

A Twitter for Professionals tab can be found by swiping open the sidebar from the app's Home timeline. A "Switch to Professional"

Every day, 7 billion voice communications are sent using WhatsApp.   On Wednesday, WhatsApp announced that its massive messaging app's users spend an average of 7 billion voice messages per day. Voice notes are popular because they allow individuals to "have more expressive discussions," according to the Meta-owned messaging service. Voice notes, like their text counterparts, are safeguarded by end-to-end encryption. "Showing emotion or excitement through voice is more natural than text," said the app's owner, whose service is used by over 2 billion people every day to send over 100 billion messages (at last count, over two years ago) However, the growing popularity of voice messaging — a spectacular and seemingly unprecedented achievement — isn't entirely unexpected. In several emerging markets, for example, we've observed a segment of new smartphone users express a preference for voice-over typing. (WhatsApp does not provide information on how voic

  Meta to bring in mandatory distances between virtual reality avatars After worries that Mark Zuckerberg's ideas for a metaverse will lead to a fresh wave of online harassment, the social media tycoon's virtual reality company is introducing a mandatory barrier between people's digital avatars. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is betting a multimillion-dollar wager on virtual reality as his empire's next source of development, but his strategy has already been hampered by concerns that virtual worlds are riddled with abuse. A user testing Horizon Worlds, a virtual reality software owned by Zuckberg's Meta company, complained of being groped online and requested a protective bubble around their avatar, or digital image of oneself, in December. "Sexual harassment is no laughing matter on the conventional internet, but being in VR adds another dimension that intensifies the experience," the individual explained. On Friday, Meta announced the addition of pers

  Google Maps will be able to ban 100 million harmful updates by 2021 Last year, Google discovered a large attempt by scammers to submit abusive updates to legitimate Google Business Profiles. Over 100 million modifications were prohibited, and over 7 million phony company profiles were erased. The company utilized a combination of AI models and human operators to control aggressive conduct on the network. On the internet, abusive behavior has become common, putting the information you discover on any site under examination. This includes Google Maps reviews, albeit thanks to machine learning, the search giant was able to maintain the content on the service as accurate and relevant. Last year, Google reported that it had rejected over 100 million abusive updates aimed at Google Business Profiles. "Machine learning algorithms boosted our ability to catch bot activity and identify questionable activity patterns," the business added. More than 7 million bogus business profiles w

  TikTok TikTok is experimenting with a new feature that will allow users to find films they've seen before but can't find amid the millions shared. The 'Watch History' function, which was discovered by Twitter user Hammod Oh, appears to be a beta test at the moment and is not available to all users. The ability to see previously watched movies comes under the Content and Activity area of the settings page, according to sources. This has been a long-requested feature, as customers frequently grumble about having to go through video after video on the For You Page in order to discover "the one" they missed the first time around. The new Watch History tab will show a week's worth of previously watched videos, but it can be turned off at any time, just like YouTube's watch history. This is a long-requested feature, as users frequently complain about having to go through movie after video on the For You Page in order to find "the one" they missed

YouTube is experimenting with time-based emoji reactions.   A YouTube video occasionally requires more complex input than a simple comment or a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down." For a select number of viewers, YouTube is experimenting with timed-specific emoji reactions today. When a specific point in a video resonates (or doesn't), viewers can toss out an emoji. Throughout the duration of a video, users can get a sense of how others reacted. In the comment section of each broadcast, a separate reply panel will provide emoji reactions by the moment, similar to features already available on Facebook Live and Twitch. "You can react and see crowd reactions by opening the video's comment section and tapping into the reaction panel if you're watching a video that's part of this experiment." The test will also show you which moments other viewers are reacting to (all reactions will be anonymous – we won't reveal who sent them). Team YouTube's

WhatsApp may let you send 2GB files   According to reports, WhatsApp is testing an update that would allow users to send and receive files up to 2GB in size. According to regular WhatsApp code miners WABetaInfo, this increase in file size is currently being tested in Argentina in a limited beta test. If the testing goes well, this might be a significant upgrade for Meta's messaging service. WhatsApp currently has a file transmission limit of 100MB. That was previously a large number of megabytes, but high-resolution images and movies, among other things, have caused files to grow in size in recent years. By increasing the file size limit to 2GB, WhatsApp users will be able to transfer far larger files, such as 4K video clips or a gallery of high-resolution photographs, such as those captured by the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 108MP camera. Larger file size limitations could also improve WhatsApp's utility as a collaboration tool, allowing users to send huge documents with images t

Instagram may allow users to respond to Stories with voice messages.   Following the addition of private likes to Instagram Stories, developer Alessandro Paluzzi says the company is working on a feature that allows users to respond to Stories using audio notes. Alessandro Paluzzi is a developer who reverse engineers programmes to look for signs of upcoming additions. He shared a screenshot of the new UI feature that will be shown on the screen via Twitter. However, many of the features that corporations develop behind the scenes are never made public. Instagram stated when it launched private Story likes that it sought to reduce mailbox congestion for users, thus this anticipated addition will be in direct opposition to their intentions. Instagram has yet to comment on the rumoured new function.

Google Issues Emergency Fix for Chrome Zero-Day   Google has released an emergency security fix for Chrome 99 to address a vulnerability that has already been publicly exploited. The security flaw, dubbed CVE-2022-1096 and rated as high-severity, is described as a Type Confusion fault in the V8 JavaScript and WebAssembly engine. The bug was reported by an anonymous researcher, according to Google, and the business has yet to calculate the bug bounty amount for this issue. "Google is aware that an exploit for CVE-2022-1096 has been discovered in the wild," the company says in its alert, without going into detail about the vulnerability or the exploitation it discovered. Chrome 99.0.4844.84 includes a fix for this problem, which is currently available for Windows, Mac, and Linux users. Google has fixed CVE-2022-1096, the second Chrome zero-day this year. The first Chrome zero-day, identified as CVE-2022-0609 and fixed in February, was used by at least two North Korean threat ac

Instagram  Instagram has made its well-known algorithm-free chronological feed option available to all users. As previously stated, Instagram will be introducing a whole new filtering tool for the feed, allowing users to easily scroll through all of their favorite accounts. While the capabilities were first shown in a restricted testing series last month in January, they are now apparently being sent out to the app's global user base beginning today. Experts consider this to be one of their quickest rollouts in comparison to the usual. Users of both iOS and Android will be able to use the new feed options. They will not be available for usage on Integrum's web version, though. Instagram users will soon be able to choose between two different and new display options on their feed. This is said to control how their major content is displayed: Favorites: This option displays the most recent postings from accounts that have been added to a user's 'Favorites' list. As a

  Google Algorithm Google releases the March 2022 product review algorithm update, which adds additional criteria to the previous year's revisions. Google has released a third product review algorithm update in search results, which builds on the previous product review algorithm changes. In April 2021, the first product review algorithm upgrade went live, with the goal of rewarding content based on first-hand research. In December, there was a second product review update. Google's efforts to surface higher-quality product evaluations in search results are continuing with today's update. " Today, we're releasing a new update that builds on that effort to improve our ability to recognize high-quality product evaluations." This will make it easier for us to bring sound purchasing advice in front of people, as well as to reward authors who are genuinely interested in assisting them. " The modification will take several weeks to roll out, according to Google

  WhatsApp WhatsApp is one of the most widely used instant messaging (IM) applications in the world. Despite its slower growth than some of its competitors, like Telegram, the company nevertheless manages to be the leading messenger in some locations. The multi-device feature, for example, has been in the works for years on the Meta-owned platform. It is, however, still problematic and does not provide cloud storage for instant, continuous backups. Message reactions are the most recent feature of this IM service. This feature is similar to that of iMessage for those who are unfamiliar. Users can choose an emoji as a reaction while holding on to communication. It's best to respond to a received message without requiring texting "ok" or a thumbs-up emoji. On the beta channel of the app, the Message Reactions functionality is now rolling out to some Android users. WABetaInfo revealed some fresh details about the WhatsApp Message Reactions feature last month. The functionalit

android user   Google has finally begun pushing out new important features for its mobile app that it promised during the I/O conference in 2021. One of the new features for Android users is the ability to remove the last 15 minutes of their Google mobile app search history. The feature is currently only available for Android users on the Google app, but it will be made available to everyone in the coming weeks. In July 2021, this feature was already available on iOS. However, Google's Android release date was pushed back due to a missed deadline. Mishaal Rahman of XDA Developers was the first to notice the new Google feature, claiming that he received a tip about it. It's still unclear whether Google will introduce this feature to desktop computers. Meanwhile, Google has a number of tools that will delete data from your search history that is three, 18, or 36 months old. What is the mechanism behind it? Open the Google app on your phone to see if your Android phone has the new

iPadAir   For the past few years, the iPad family has had a stable lineup of five versions. There are three that stand out: The low-cost iPad ($330 starting price) has no adjectives. The iPad Mini ($500) is a smaller version of the iPad. The iPad Pro 13-inch ($1100) is the largest and most powerful model. It's simple to decide if you want the cheapest, smallest, or largest iPad. However, deciding between the 11-inch iPad Pro and 10.9-inch iPad Air in the center — where most people's wants, desires, and finances reside — is not that simple. For starters, they're practically identical in size. What I'm referring to as the "13-inch" iPad Pro is actually 12.9 inches. I've never understood why Apple insists on calling it "13 inches." Examine a ruler: a tenth of an inch (2.5mm) is nothing. However, I see why Apple chose to label the iPad Air's display size 10.9 inches rather than rounding it up to an even 11: when compared to the iPad Pro, the iPad

Russian anti-virus software   The German cyber-security body has advised against using Kaspersky anti-virus software, which is based in Russia. In light of the war in Ukraine, the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) published a statement. According to the report, Russian information-technology companies could be spied on or pushed to commit cyber-attacks. The warning was "made on political grounds," according to Kaspersky, and it had no ties to the Russian government. Offensive operations' is a term used to describe military operations: The BSI made no claims about current issues with Kaspersky's products, but it did say that the situation in Ukraine and Russian threats against the European Union, NATO, and Germany increased the risk of cyber-attacks. "A Russian IT manufacturer can conduct offensive operations on its own, be forced to attack target systems against its will, or be spied on as a victim of a cyber operation without its knowledge or as a to

  WhatsApp Following the release of the worldwide voice note player for WhatsApp web/desktop and iOS, the Meta-owned messaging service is now bringing the capability to Android users as well. So, what makes this feature unique? When users went to a separate WhatsApp chat, a voice note would end. However, users will now be able to browse between multiple chats within WhatsApp to send or view another message while a voice note plays in the background. "To see if the function is available for your WhatsApp account, play a voice message and then return to your chats list: if you see a new player bar, it signifies the feature is activated," writes the WhatsApp news tracker. Furthermore, the feature isn't only for voice notes; it also works with incoming and outgoing audio files. The functionality has only been rolled out to a select group of beta testers, so if you don't see it on your Android version, it implies you haven't yet received the update.

  Apple Face ID Apple's latest iOS 15.4 update is now available for all customers, and the most notable addition is the support for masks when using Face ID to unlock your iPhone. Face ID did not work when users tried to unlock the iPhone while wearing a mask, therefore the update will alleviate a major annoyance for users. In such instances, customers will inevitably have to type their iPhone passcode each time. Face ID may also be used to autofill passwords and verify App Store transactions. Wearing a mask previously had a detrimental impact on these alternatives once again. With the current version, this issue is also resolved. Users who rely on this functionality will have to re-enable Face ID after installing the upgrade on their device. We'll show you how to unlock your iPhone while wearing a face mask. Which devices are compatible with Face ID mask unlocking? Face ID unlocking using masks is only enabled on iPhone 12 and newer, according to Apple. This includes the Apple
