Facebook is reportedly testing dark mode in Messenger
Highlights: Facebook testing dark mode in Messenger The feature may roll out in select markets Facebook Messenger is expected to get a dark mode soon as the testing of this mode is reportedly underway in some selected countries. Well-known tipster Jane Manchun Wong has posted a screenshot on Twitter which shows that the social media company putting the “finishing touches” to the feature. In November, Wong had confirmed that the Facebook Messenger was ready to roll out. “Facebook Messenger, seemingly due to prolonged external nagging, has started public testing Dark Mode in certain countries. They have put up a fair warning that Dark Mode isn't everywhere yet so don't complain when some UI burns your eyes off,” she said in a tweet with an image attached to it. This could be a part of UI overhaul in Messenger that the company announced at the F8 conference last year. Last year, Facebook announced the addition of two new modes in the Messenger app's camera and updated the use of AR stickers enabling users to club them with photos and videos as an augmented reality object. Selfie mode and Boomerang videos are the two modes that were added to the app's camera. These modes are already available in Facebook-owned Instagram app and users will now get to use them within Facebook Messenger. In November, Facebook started to roll out the Remove for Everyone feature to its Messenger app on iOS and Android. The feature allows people to edit a message that was sent with a mistake or delete it in case it was mistakenly sent to someone else. Till now, users could only delete the message from their own chats and a copy of the message with the sender would still remain. The features works like WhatsApp’s “Delete for Everyone” feature which deletes the message from the sender and the receiver's chat.

Google Maps new Messages feature enables users to chat with businesses in app
Highlights: Google is testing new Messages feature in its Google Maps app The feature will enable one to chat with businesses Google is testing a new feature that might make it easier for users to connect with businesses on Google Maps. It was first noted by the Redditor u/sanju2cool and we checked to find that the feature also shows up for some businesses on Maps. One will find a ‘Message’ tab for some businesses, alongside the Directions, Call and Save options. Tapping on it brings up a chat window where one can send their queries to the business and hopefully, receive a reply soon. There is also an option to delete the chat or block/report the business chat as spam. When one boots up the Maps app, they might see an option to access all Messages and conversations that had with businesses. This option is nested under the hamburger menu and tapping on it will show all the chats they had with a business listing and it makes it easier for users to revisit the chat without needing to find individual businesses on Maps. We noted that the Message option does not show up when one simply taps on a business listing and only when one swipes up to get more information about it. Google had announced this feature back in November 2018 and said that it will soon roll out for users on Android and iOS. The company didn’t confirm whether the feature will make its way to India but it is seemingly being tested. So, it might be safe to assume that we could soon see a broad rollout of this feature. The feature will work if the establishment has agreed to accept messages and signed up for a Business profile. Businesses that want to accept messages from customers can install the new Google My Business app from Google Play or the App Store to sign up and enable messages.

Windows 10 surpasses Windows 7 in market share for the first time: Report
Key Highlights: Windows 10 has a reported 39.22-percent market share for December 2018 Windows 7 has a reported 36.9-percent market share for December 2018 We know there are still many of you hardcore Windows 7 loyalists out there but December 2018 was a victory for Windows 10 fans. According to a report by NetApplications, Windows 10 saw more installs than Windows 7 in the month of December. From what the report says, we learn that during the month Windows 10 had a 39.22-percent share in the market, while Windows 7 came a close second at 36.9 percent. It’s worth noting that though mainstream support for Windows 7 ended on January 13, 2015, extended support will be available till January 14, 2020. From the report, we also learn that Windows XP comes fourth in the computer operating system market share after MacOS X 10.13 (4.73 percent). The discontinued and unsupported Windows XP commands 4.54 percent. Windows 8.1 is a close fifth at 4.45 percent. Windows 8, on the other hand, has almost vanished from all machines out there; it has a negligible 0.88-percent market share. It’s clear from the report that most of the computers out there run either Windows 10 or Windows 7. Microsoft announced in a blog post in September last year that it would demand a monthly fee on a per-device basis to keep Windows 7 up to date with security updates till January 2023. Its offer, named Extended Security Updates (ESU), is available to all types of Windows 7 licences, including Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Enterprise. Those who opted for volume licencing are eligible for a discount. Microsoft is even throwing in a subscription to Office 365 ProPlus that’s valid till January 2023. Despite the extended support offered to Windows 7 users, Microsoft is visibly keen on getting everybody aboard the Windows 10 bandwagon as soon as possible. Windows 10 was launched on July 29, 2015 and was believed to be the “last version of Windows” from Microsoft because every improvement (and fix) then on would simply be added to Windows 10 continually in the form of a Windows Update. In the last few months, Microsoft has been having trouble getting the October Update across to its Windows 10 users owing to several bugs reported by users, including one that deletes user files after the update installation.
