Phones › Top 10 Free Apps To Install On Your New Android Phone by baseg25(op): 4:16pm On Aug 01, 2014 |
When you buy a new Android phone (especially if you’re new to the operating system), what are the best apps to install first? Those apps that will solve your basic needs and make the phone work better, so you can move on to what’s really important, which is having fun with it. Luckily, we’ve worked on providing you with the top 10 free apps to install on your Android phone, so you don’t have to look at all. Does that make things easier or what? This is a list of great apps to start you off on your new Android device, keeping it clean, safe and easy to use. It doesn’t claim to be a list of the best Android apps out there, although many of these apps could easily qualify as such. These are apps that will make sure your phone is in good shape for everyday use and that you’re all set for the most common, everyday life situations. We’ve handpicked these apps so that your life with your new phone is much easier. What’s even nicer is that they’re all free to download and use; in some cases, additional features can be purchased for money, but you can use the apps just fine without that 99% of the time. With all that said, let’s see what our choices are.
1. Avast Mobile Security https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Avast-Mobile-Security-techcribng-175x300.png
It is absolutely necessary to start things off with a security app (Android Device Manager, which allows you to locate your phone, is pre-loaded out of the box).
Our pick is Avast Mobile Security, one of the most comprehensive security suites out there. This software offers a lot of virus protection tools (and, with Android being more and more popular, malware has become a serious concern) and even a firewall, but your phone needs to be rooted to use that feature.
Avast Mobile Security will even scan the websites you visit, telling you if a phishing URL is accessed, for example. All in all, an incredible piece of software. A premium version also exists, but the free one should be more than enough for most users. There’s an anti-theft feature too, which could prove useful.
2 . Clean Master
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Clean-Master2-techcribng.png
What’s Clean Master and why should you have it on your new phone? Well, because it’s THE best cleaner app out there. It will help you clean the junk that apps on your phone leave behind and it will even clean your RAM when your phone is starting to run low on it.
It even has a nice app manager, allowing you to perform operations such as moving said apps to the SD card.
It’s an app that, instead of further cluttering your phone, does something to make things run smoother.
3. SwiftKey
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/SwiftKey-techcribng.png
Even though SwiftKey would be on every Android app list I’d make, it wouldn’t have made this one a couple of months ago. And that’s because it has only become free recently.
SwiftKey is probably the best Android keyboard out there, one that allows you to type in a much faster fashion by sliding your fingers over the letters. Its predictions are sometimes so accurate that it’s downright creepy…
Since you’ll be typing quite a bit on your new phone, you might as well do it fast.
4. Astro File Manager with Cloud https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Astro-File-Manager-cloud-techcribng1-176x300.png
Phones are very much the new computers nowadays and, since every computer works with lots of files, a file management app is a must.
One of the best ones for Android is Astro File Manager with Cloud; not only will you be able to manage files on your phone and your memory card, but you will also get access to what you have stored on your cloud accounts – Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, SkyDrive and even Facebook.
Not to mention files on your local network, which are a few screen taps away.
5. Dropbox https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Dropbox-techcribng.png
Speaking of the cloud, you’ll need to save some files on your phone somewhere you can access them everywhere and I’m also sure you’ll want to get to the music on your Dropbox in an easy fashion.
Luckily, Dropbox has a very good Android app, one that’s extremely easy to use. A great feature is the one that allows you to backup the photos you’re taking automatically to your Dropbox.
I’m not saying anything bad is going to happen to your beautiful new phone, but it can’t hurt to be on the safe side.
6. Kingsoft Office https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Kingsoft-Office-techcribng1-176x300.png
What good is a smartphone if you can’t do some work on it? Well, Kingsoft Office is an app which helps you solve this problem.
It’s a complete Office suite which allows you to open, create and edit a lot of office document formats, including the popular DOC, XLS or PPT. It’s also a PDF viewer, which always comes in handy.
You can then easily share those documents with your friends. Basically, it’s a free app which does what many other paid ones do.
7. MX Player
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/MX-Player-techcribng1.png After all that work, some fun needs to be had. That’s what you need MX Player for; it’s a solid multimedia player, perfect for those moments when you’re commuting or taking a short break.
Other Android players exist, of course, but this one can open almost any format you throw at it and it has a simple, easy to use interface. It also allows you to use subtitles.
8. IM+
[img]http://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IM+-techcribng.png[/img] A phone is, first of all, a means of communication with others. In the current day and age, we all have tons of accounts on various instant messaging services (Facebook, Yahoo! etc) and keeping in touch with all of them can sometimes be annoying.
IM+ is an app which allows you to easily communicate with contacts on Yahoo! Messenger, Windows Live Messenger, Google Talk, AIM, Jabber and many more. Skype is also available through an in-app purchase.
IM+ has a very simple interface, so it’s easy to use all of your accounts at the same time. All in all, instant messaging doesn’t get much better than this on a mobile device.
9. Yahoo! Weather
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Yahoo-Weather-techcribng.png What’s a smartphone without a weather app? Well, it may still be a smartphone, but a good weather app is a definite necessity. And if that weather app can look beautiful while showing you if it’s gonna rain, who are we to argue? Although there are some other very good choices out there, my favorite one has to be Yahoo! Weather. It has a beautiful, clean design and it provides you with all the weather information you could require in an easy to use fashion. More than that, you get crowd-sourced images for each location in order to make things even more good-looking.
10. Pocket https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Pocket2-techcribng.png
The last recommendation is Pocket, because you sometimes want to save the content you’re accessing on your mobile device for later viewing. The app does require a free account; after you’ve set one up, you can easily use Android’s share features to save content to Pocket, where you’ll be able to retrieve it later, be it on your phone or your computer.
Things are really as simple as they sound and, for this reason, Pocket has become one of the first things I install on any new device. Bottom line
These are, of course, my personal choices, but I do think they make up a rather nice starting kit for any user that’s just starting life with his new Android phone. If you think anything needs to be added, go ahead and say it in a comment! for more tech tips visit the source : http://techcribng.com/top-10-free-apps-install-android-phone/ |

Phones › Blackberry Announces Acquisition Of Mobile Security Company Secusmart by baseg25(op): 5:14am On Aug 01, 2014 |
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/blackberry-ceo.jpgJust Yesterday, at the BlackBerry Security Summit in New York, BlackBerry announced the acquisition of a security company based in Germany called Secusmart. Above we can see Secusmart CEO Hans-Cristoph Quelle talking about the deal. Secusmart works on mobility security solutions for governments, wireless providers, and enterprise, which is right up BlackBerry’s wheel house. Secusmart’s solution is good enough for German Chancellor Angela Merkelto encrypt her device against the NSA apparently, so it seems like a great purchase for BlackBerry. What do you guys think? Is now a smart time for BlackBerry to investing in new talent? BlackBerry Reinforces Mobile Security Leadership with Acquisition of Secusmart Waterloo, ON – BlackBerry Limited (NASDAQ: BBRY; TSX: BB), a world leader in mobile communications, has entered into an agreement to acquire Secusmart GmbH, a leader in high-security voice and data encryption and anti-eavesdropping solutions for government organizations, enterprises and telecommunications service providers in Germany and internationally. The transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals. “We are always improving our security solutions to keep up with the growing complexity of enterprise mobility, with devices being used for more critical tasks and to store more critical information, and security attacks becoming more sophisticated,” said John Chen, Executive Chairman and CEO, BlackBerry. “The acquisition of Secusmart underscores our focus on addressing growing security costs and threats ranging from individual privacy to national security. This acquisition bolsters our security solutions with leading voice and data encryption and anti-eavesdropping technologies, and furthers BlackBerry’s security leadership in end-to-end mobile solutions.” BlackBerry and Secusmart have previously partnered to offer Secusmart’s innovative technology to customers that have the most demanding security needs.In fact, last year, the SecuSUITE for BlackBerry® 10 solution was selected by Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security for classified communications for the country’s highest public officials. Through this collaboration, the two companies have provided Secusmart-equipped BlackBerry smartphones to a significant number of German government agencies and almost all German government ministries and leaders, including Chancellor Angela Merkel. “This transaction is a fantastic opportunity to accelerate growth in the market for high-end secure communications solutions, driven by the need to combat electronic eavesdropping and data theft,” said Dr. Hans-Christoph Quelle, Managing Director of Secusmart. “Secusmart and BlackBerry’s solution already meets the highest security requirements of the German federal authorities and NATO for restricted communications. We see significant opportunities to introduce Secusmart’s solutions to more of BlackBerry’s government and enterprise customers around the world.” BlackBerry’s acquisition of Secusmart is the latest demonstration of the company’s commitment to being the first name in enterprise mobile security. This commitment is why BlackBerry customers include all G7 governments, 16 of the G20 governments, 10 out of 10 of the largest global enterprises in each of the pharmaceutical, legal and automotive industries, and the five largest oil and gas companies. BlackBerry has more security certifications than any other vendor and is the only mobility solution to receive “Full Operational Capability” (FOC) approval to run on U.S. Department of Defense networks.

Olucheye: I Went through the said list and I couldn't but wonder why TECNO is leading the pack. Yes TECNO of all smartphone's that technology allowed to have graced 2014. I'm not a hater on the TECNO brand but, whenever a spade is seen, it's shouldn't be called anything short of a Spade. TECNO is a capital NO!
I'm pretty certain the front camera of my S4 will perform better than that TECNO R7 or whatever you call it. Nevertherless, I must applaud the coy in charge of TECNO's production. Over the course of the years, the improvement on their devices has been seen to have provided a near perfect substitute for people who don't seem to be in the technological rave or people who can't afford the staggering prices of the Samsung's, Sony's or Apple phones.
Take it or leave it, NOKIA's LUMIA 1020 Is The King Of Mobile Photograhy. (Argue in Your Space Please). The design, megapixel is just apt and stunning. Have you seen a video on a LUMIA 1020?? If Not, kindly look for someone to borrow from and check it out. The rest on my list in no particular order will be,
iPhone 5s - Apple Needs No Introduction. Take it or leave it the camera is clearer that early morning water from the stream!
Sony Xperia Z2 - No words
LG G3 - Equipped with a laser-focus 13 Megapixel. That's all you need to convince you if you're no dolt.
Samsung Galaxy S5 - I personally own an S4 and believe me, pictures on S4 is nothing short of amazing.. S5 blew me out on seeing it.
HTC One M8 - you just doff your hat for this piece of tech. you may be ryt abt tecno you have forgotten there is something you dont knw |

AsSabirin: I disagree. Try a lumia in low light and see. you may be right.. While performance can be a little slow and shutter-lag times aren't comparable to more expensive digital cameras, the Nokia 1020 nonetheless excels compared to other camera phones. Used in good light oversampled 5MP images display huge amounts of fine detail that you wouldn't be able to capture using other cameraphones. Low light performance is also class-leading compared to other smartphone cameras, with higher sensitivity settings such as ISO 800 and ISO 1600 both surprising usable. Throw in a number of useful features, including high-speed and 1080p Full HD video recording and the Nokia 1020 is just about the best cameraphone in the market. So nokia lumia is best for Resolution while Htc one m8 is best for low light photography. |

7. Best for Low-light PhotographyHTC One M8 https://i1.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article3266673.ece/alternates/s615/HTC-One-M8.jpg £535 (16GB, expandable) While other manufacturers have been keen to boost the megapixel counts of their cameraphones, HTC has gone in the opposite direction; decreasing overall resolution in a bid to enlarge the individual light-gathering pixels that populate the sensor. HTC calls these Ultrapixels and the basic premise is that, because they are larger, the M8's camera is better equipped to capture superior images in low light without being plagued by noise. The downside to this approach, as has been well documented, is that the M8's overall resolution is limited to just 4MP. While this doesn't manifest itself on the M8's 5-inch screen, blow your images up any larger and you will quickly notice the lack of fine detail. Ultrapixels isn't the only novel approach taken by the HTC One M8 either. HTC has also taken the step of fitting the M8 with a separate depth sensor just above the main camera sensor. The main purpose behind this is that it allows the user to create selective blurring effects after an image has been taken. HTC calls this U-Focus, and it's capable of producing quite good results when used in the right context (but also poor results when used in certain situations). Elsewhere, other highlights of the M8 include blisteringly fast performance, a glut of built-in digital filter effects, one-touch Panorama and HDR image creation and, last but not least, 1080p Full HD video capture. Overall, if you're more interested in low-light photography than overall resolution, then the HTC One M8 is undoubtedly the smartphone camera for you. |

6 Best Camera Smartphones to Shot Fine PicturesA smartphone is a mobile phone with more advanced computing capability and connectivity than basic feature phones.Early Smartphones typically combined the features of a mobile phone with those of another popular consumer device, such as a personal digital assistant (PDA), a media player, a digital camera, and/or a GPS navigation unit. These days, smartphones include all of those plus the features of a touch screen computer, including web browsing, Wi-Fi, NFC, and 3rd-party apps. Although, much has been written about the demise of the camera at the hands of the smartphone. As we all know that photographers knows, a good camera offers superior image quality, variable lens focal lengths, faster operation and more creative control, to name but a few benefits. With all these, smartphones are getting better and better every day. Now, Smartphones cameras now offer innovative features that most cameras can only dream of, and With the image quality, it has now reached the stage where in good light conditions only a skilled eye can spot the difference between the images from a phone and a basic compact.The Samsung Galaxy S4 and iPhone 4 could be regarded as the generation that gave rise to sophistication of cameras in smartphones. https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Camera-Phones-TECHCRIBNG-300x177.jpgSo I'm going to share with you the Best and Top rated Camera Phones in 2014.

Tecno R7 https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/tecno-r7-techcribng.jpg Tecno, surely deserves a place here. Few years ago, it was ejected by elites in some parts of Africa. In recent years, the Chinese phone company has given the likes of Samsung, Apple and HTC a run for their money. The Tecno R7 was released not too long after the S5 was launched. Yes there were comparisons with the S5. In truth, the S5 is a beast of a machine. However, Tecno R7 has scored some points with its impressive ram, storage and most importantly: Camera – it ships with an in-built 13 Mega Pixel that is a beauty and a front camera of 5-Mega Pixel, which is just amazing for taking selfies. It is a complete huge leap from the previous generation Tecno m7 that had just 8mega pixel camera. Back in the day, people were crazy about its camera. It only gets better with Tecno

There is nothing wrong in encouraging users to opt for the Messenger App. Personally, I use it for chat in my android.

Phones › Linkedin Makes Mobile Profiles More Tantalizing by baseg25(op): 5:53pm On Jul 30, 2014 |
LinkedIn is making introductions a little more personable via mobile with amped up profiles that it promises will make you “look ridiculously good.” The new profile styles tells your story to anyone who searches for you on their Smartphone or iPad. And, if there are some holes in your profile, LinkedIn will let you know what’s missing and tell you how you can add it. The new profile includes professional and personal details as well as “in common” and endorsements sections. “What if, minutes before you met me for the first time, someone whispered in your ear and reminded you not only where I work (LinkedIn) and what I do (product management), but also who we both know in common, whether we overlapped any years in school, or if we worked at the same company?” LinkedIn mobile product manager Charlton Soesanto said in a blog post. “If you knew what we had in common or any of my interests (say biking or Latin poetry), chances are that we’ll probably have a pretty great first conversation.” The new profile, Soesanto said, is a “great ice breaker” because you can actually learn a bit about a colleague before meeting him or her for the first time — meaning you can “talk about something other than the weather.” The new profile experience is coming to mobile first, accommodating the 43 percent of members using their Smartphones to access the professional social network. It is available to English speaking Android and iPhone users and across all languages for iPad users source: http://techcribng.com/linkedin-mobile-profiles-tantalizing/ source : sitepronews |

Facebook to Axe Mobile App Messaging, Push Messenger Apphttps://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Facebook-Messenger-techcribng.pngFacebook is moving ahead with its plans this week to eliminate messaging from its mobile app in favor of Facebook Messenger. https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Facebook-Messenger-169x300-techcribng-21.jpg The social network first tested the change on its European users beginning in April. The test rendered “positive results” in engagement, Facebook told Tech Crunch. As a result, the firm is now implementing the change for all users. Facebook’s chief motivation in yanking chat from its main app is the hope it will give usage of its standalone Messenger app a much-needed boost. “In the next few days, we’re continuing to notify more people that if they want to send and receive Facebook messages, they’ll need to download the Messenger app,” Facebook said in an e-mailed statement to Tech Crunch. “As we’ve said, our goal is to focus development efforts on making Messenger the best mobile messaging experience possible and avoid the confusion of having separate Facebook mobile messaging experiences. Messenger is used by more than 200 million people every month, and we’ll keep working to make it an even more engaging way to connect with people.” Once the change is implemented, when users tap the messages button, they will immediately be sent to Messenger. Once messaging is disabled, those attempting to use it who have yet to download Messenger will be encouraged to do so.
Users of Android phones with low memory and Windows phones and tablets will escape the change — for now. Facebook news app Paper will also keep in-app messaging.
The social media firm has been pushing Messenger for some time now. what do you think?.... for more tech news visit source : http://techcribng.com/facebook-wants-you-to-use-messenger-app-for-mobile-chat/ |

Health › Re: Sex, Kissing, Shared Needles Can Give You Ebola. by baseg25(op): 1:36pm On Jul 29, 2014 |
share unsterilised needles with infected person. Akinduro adds that sharp objects such as blades may also not be shared. He even says since no one knows his Ebola status, it is advisable to never share sharp objects, even among family members. “It doesn’t cost much to own a razor blade and use it personally, if only to prevent possible infection should someone close to you be infected with Ebola and you aren’t aware,” he says.

Health › Sex, Kissing, Shared Needles Can Give You Ebola. by baseg25(op): 1:34pm On Jul 29, 2014 |
https://www.punchng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Feature-Pix1.jpgThat Ebola virus is currently on the rampage in West Africa is no longer news. What is rather news — and very scary for that matter — is that the World Health Organisation has just confirmed a case of the infection in Lagos State, Nigeria’s commercial capital and one of the most populous. Though the patient has passed away, there are fears that many people he had come in contact with as he journeyed from Liberia to Nigeria may have been infected; while the medical workers that attended to him during his brief stay in the hospital also need to be examined! The reasons are not far-fetched: Ebola virus is virulent — it is extremely dangerous and deadly, and usually spreads very quickly. The WHO estimates that the death rate is a whopping 90 per cent. Indeed, the united States-based Centres for Disease Control warns that death through the virus can take place anytime between two to 21 days of infection, usually due to multiple organ failure, loss of blood or shock. Mode of contact Experts say Ebola is introduced into the human population through close contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected animals. And once it enters an individual, s/he becomes a high risk to everyone s/he comes into contact with. And that’s why you can’t afford to be careless with the way you relate with people, especially when it comes to intimate relationships such as kissing, necking and sexual intercourse. The Lagos State Commissioner of Health, Dr. Jide Idris, warns that infection occurs from direct contact — through broken skin or mucous membranes — with the blood, or other bodily fluids or secretions such as poops, urine, saliva and semen of infected people. The WHO corroborates this claim. Sex and the virus How can Ebola in the semen infect you, whether it is outside or inside of the body? Experts proffer an answer. The WHO states that people are infectious as long as their blood and secretions contain the virus. All you need do to get infected is to have any form of contact with the infected semen and you are done! A gynaecologist, Dr. Damilola Akinduro, adds that in normal sexual process, sperm ejaculated into a woman’s vagina can live in her cervical mucus or upper genital tract for three to five days, making fertilisation possible. He also says sperm ejaculated outside the body might survive in semen — the fluid released during ejaculation — up to a few hours. So, even if you try to play safe by having a man ejaculate outside of your body in the name of coitus interruptus or through anal and MouthAction, you may still be infected within the few hours that the sperm and the virus are still alive. Scary, isn’t it? And as terrible as the situation is, WHO discloses that even men who have recovered from the (Ebola) illness can still spread the virus to their partner through their semen for up to seven weeks after recovery. “For this reason, it is important for men to avoid sexual intercourse for at least seven weeks after recovery or to wear condoms if having sexual intercourse during seven weeks after recovery,” WHO counsels. Wet dreams Akinduro says that since most people may be ignorant of their Ebola status, parents should advise their male adolescents who may have wet dreams to wash their beddings and other clothing materials that may have been soiled in the process. Indeed, experts at the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control assure that Ebola virus is easily killed by soap, bleach, sunlight or drying. “Machine washing clothes that have been contaminated with fluids will destroy Ebola,” they say; adding that “Ebola virus survives only a short time on surfaces that are in the sun or have dried.” Akinduro also urges careful handling and safe disposal of used condoms, so that people don’t come into contact with them. Signs and symptoms As for knowing whether or not you have the virus, the WHO says if you have sudden onset of fever, intense weakness, muscle pain, headache and sore throat, don’t delay. Rather, visit the hospital and have a medical test. “It may make a difference between dying and staying alive,” Akinduro suggests. The WHO also suggests that the aforementioned typical signs and symptoms are usually followed by vomiting, diarrhoea, rash, impaired kidney and liver function, and in some cases, both internal and external bleeding. You don’t want to go through this painful experience; so, see the doctor without delay. Drug addicts at risk Experts note that needle-sharing among people who inject drugs is a very common phenomenon; and blood transfer is common as a result. It is common knowledge that drug addicts who share needles risk a lot of infectious diseases ranging from HIV to Hepatitis B & C; but physicians are now warning that drug addicts are also at risk of contacting Ebola virus if they |

Nsonaso: iOS8 really pack some interesting features and I've never liked Apple iPhone and iPad before but after watching iOS8 features on Apple WWDC 2014 I decide to give iPhone a try by October when iPhone 6 and iOS8 will be released.... But for iPad no way Yes you are ryt. Apple spent a significant amount of its WWDC 2014 keynote focusing on iOS 8, which takes the flat iOS 7design and only rounds it out with new features. |
Phones › Big Changes Coming To Iphone Messaging by baseg25(op): 5:33pm On Jul 28, 2014 |
If you’re an Apple user, this is a big deal. Messages is the most frequently used app in iOS, and is how most users share texts, photos and videos with each other. With iOS 8, coming this fall, Apple is borrowing features from popular messaging platforms like Snapchat and WhatsApp while unveiling some new tricks of its own. https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/images-ios-8-techcribng.jpg Here’s a quick look at the new messaging features announced at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference. We’ll find out in a few months whether they catch on with users. Audio and video messages The text window in the next version of iMessage will contain a little microphone button. Users hold a finger down on the button, record a short audio or video message, and send it with the swipe of a finger — all without leaving the app. In this way, Apple is taking a page from WhatsApp, which also allows audio and video messages. Facebook bought that startup, which has a huge user base overseas, in February for $19 billion. Audio files will appear in your Messages stream as jagged lines. Simply tap on them to listen to the message. Apple did not say Monday whether there will be a limit on the length of the messages. Self-destructing messages Photo and video messages that disappear after a few seconds have been popularized by Snapchat, the mobile messaging app that reportedly spurned multibillion takeover offers from Facebook and Google last year. This ephemeral format has been especially popular with teens and young adults who like to exchange silly or racy messages without fear they’ll be haunted by them later. Now Apple is getting into the game. Audio and video messages within iOS 8 will automatically vanish within a few minutes (Apple didn’t say how many) unless you adjust your settings. “You don’t want to have to clean these up. Audio and video messages can take up space,” said Greg Joswiak, head of iOS product marketing. “So they’re set to self-destruct unless you choose to keep them.” Do not disturb Sure, group messaging threads among friends can be fun. But sometimes all the back-and-forth chatter gets out of hand. This feature lets you mute a thread for a while while reserving the option to rejoin the conversation later. [color=maroon]“If you’ve ever been on one of those noisy threads that just keeps buzzing in your pocket … you can choose when to leave,” said Apple Senior Vice President Craig Federighi, to applause from the audience.[/color] Lock-screen functions If you’re in a hurry, responding to a message on an iPhone can be a little cumbersome: You have to punch in your passcode and then hit the Messages icon just to get started. With iOS 8, users can listen and respond to audio messages without leaving the lock screen — just by holding the phone to their ear. The phone detects when it’s next to your face, plays the message and lets you record a brief response. Lower the phone, and the message is sent automatically. “It’s super easy,” said Joswiak. “You can send a message … just by raising it (the phone) to your ear.” This feature seems convenient but potentially glitchy if users send accidental messages just by speaking near their phone. There was no word from Apple on how to avoid this potential problem. Other stuff If your contacts choose to share them, their locations will pop up in group-messaging threads. For the first time, users will be able to add or delete someone in the middle of a group-messaging thread. And message attachments — images and videos, mostly — will be collected in one place so you don’t have to scroll back through longstanding threads to find them. What do you think?

Richiy: Twitter is no threat to Whatsapp at all. It is only a competition. Whatsapp has made a comfortable niche in instant messaging while Twitter created its niche in mini-blogging platform. They can both coexist but cannot override each other. you are ryt.. Looking at Nigeria here, Not everybody uses twitter compare to whatsapp. |
