<p dir="ltr">A PUBG Mobile streamer has posted a video on YouTube claiming that an update has broken the sound of the game. He says that the game now has a “weird” sound, making it unplayable for some. Interestingly, the streamer hasn’t specified which update broke the sound of the game, and given that the developers roll out updates frequently, it is hard to pinpoint the exact package that brought the sound issue. He has appealed to the developers of the game to release a fix for the same.</p> <p>“Something changed with the sound, boys. I can’t hear anything anymore. There is no directional sound anymore, it’s just noise. They broke the sound in PUBG Mobile in one of these recent updates. It sounds like I’m playing underwater,” The person speaking in the new video from Powerbang Gaming said, claiming that earlier he could identify enemy directions but now he cannot do that.</p> <p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0eoyCLe6hWs" width="100%"></iframe></p> <p>In the video, we can also see the person tinkering with the game’s sound settings but nothing happened. He also says that the PUBG team keeps on adding features and content while the gameplay continues to suffer. Recently, PUBG Mobile released the 0.12.0 beta update fixing multiple bugs to deliver a smoother gaming experience, however, we do not know for sure if the sound issue has been resolved.</p> <p>Meanwhile, the beta update brings along several new features. Players can now take their pet companions such as eagles as pet companions into the game, which will be visible only to them and their teammates. The aim is to let users earn XP in some undisclosed way. These companions need 10,000 XP to level up and unlock new animations, and XP can be bought in the form of food where each piece of food grants 100XP to the pet.</p> <p>Additionally, there’s a new “Survive Until the Rescue arrives” event where users need to “survive till extraction.” In this mode, players will be placed at a random area on the Erangel map, and they will need to survive till they are extracted. Currently, the event is called 'Zombie: Darkest Night' mode. The move is aimed at keeping the players engaged to the game at a time when there are reports of potential competitors cropping up.</p> <p>Related Read:</p> <p>Exclusive: Call of Duty: Mobile coming to India in November</p>

<p dir="ltr">Netflix has pulled the AirPlay support from the iOS app, a media report has said. SlashGear reports that there have been a lot of instances where users have complained that the AirPlay was no longer working for them on their iPhones and iPads. The development was first spotted by a streamer on the video streaming platform’s support page.</p> <p>“We want to make sure our members have a great Netflix experience on any device they use. With AirPlay support rolling out to third-party devices, there isn’t a way for us to distinguish between devices (what is an Apple TV vs. what isn’t) or certify these experiences. Therefore, we have decided to discontinue Netflix AirPlay support to ensure our standard of quality for viewing is being met. Members can continue to access Netflix on the built-in app across Apple TV and other devices,” Netflix reportedly said.</p> <p>AirPlay on iOS and Mac devices is a feature that allows users to send audio, video, images and screenshots between Apple devices that share a similar network. Using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, AirPlay lets users to play the same song on the multiple HomePod speakers in a house. Moreover, as several smart TV manufacturers add support for the feature, it also lets content from an iOS or Mac device to be viewable on smart TVs.</p> <p>Netflix’s iOS app has supported AirPlay since 2013, but now the users are stating that when they tried to use AirPlay in the Netflix app, a pop-up error message appeared that said, “Cannot play title. Please try again later.” Even if the AirPlay support is pulled, iOS users can stream videos on smart TVs because the Netflix app usually comes installed them. The one edge that AirPlay users on iOS had was the ability to stream content from their own account on a smart TV without punching in their Netflix login credentials.</p> <p>Recently, Apple launched its own premium video streaming service Apple TV+ that comes with the iPhone-maker’s original programming in a redesigned Apple TV app. The Apple TV app will also be available across a range of smart TVs and platforms, including Sony, LG, Samsung and even on Amazon FireTV stick as well as on Roku devices.</p> <p>Related Read:</p> Apple Arcade is a game subscription service for iOS, Apple TV and Mac 
<p>Face Unlock is now a feature that can be found in phones priced above Rs 1 lakh to those price under Rs 10,000. However, despite its meteoric rise to become a convenient way of unlocking your phone, it could never replace the fingerprint sensor in terms of reliability. It has been established that a fingerprint sensor on a smartphone is far more secure while face recognition systems has been proven to be fooled. However, the new breed of in-display fingerprint sensor is also not free of vulnerabilities.</p> <p>A video that recently surfaced online shows the Samsung Galaxy S10’s ultrasonic fingerprint sensor easily fooled by a 3D-printed fingerprint pattern. Samsung relies on Qualcomm’s ultrasonic solution that creates a 3D map to authenticate the fingerprint. Qualcomm claimed the solution is more secure than the optical fingerprint sensor OEMs like OnePlus uses where a 2D map is used to authenticate.</p> <p>However, in the video, the user 3D printed a fingerprint pattern on a transparent strip and put it on the Galaxy S10’s display right above the fingerprint sensor. After a slight readjustment of the position, the Galaxy S10 was unlocked. To create the 3D map, the user took a photograph of his fingerprint from a wine glass with a smartphone, and then used software to calculate the depth information. The data was then used to 3D print the fingerprint pattern on a transparent strip.</p> <p>The user in the video states a DSLR can be used to get an even clearer photo of the fingerprint sensor. What’s scary is that the Galaxy S10 was unlocked every time the 3D printed fingerprint map was placed rightly on the screen.</p> <p>Related Read:</p> <p>Samsung Galaxy S10 ultrasonic fingerprint sensor can survive screen scratches but not damages: JerryRigEverything</p> 
<p>Twitter is working on a feature that will make it easy for users to join conversations as well as let other know about the creator of the tweet, the one who is mentioned in it as well as those who are following the person who posted the original tweet. The company announced this development on its official Twitter handle. It seems that only a limited number of people will be able to see the update.</p> <p>“We want it to be easy to follow and join conversations on Twitter. We’re testing out labels on replies: author mentioned and following. If you see them, let us know what you think!” The company said in a tweet. The feature is not found in the latest version of Twitter in the Google Play Store (v7.89) that was released on April 1, which means that it could be a server-side update. There is no information if the iOS users will also be getting the feature when it is released for the masses.</p> <p>The “author” label is likely to be applied to the replies tweeted by the person who posted the original message in a thread as well as to see if a particular response in a thread came from the creator of the tweet. The “mentioned” label is likely to be applied to a reply from a Twitter user whose “handle” is mentioned in the thread's original tweet. The “following” label is likely to appear on a reply tweeted by a Twitter user who follows the author.</p> <p>The latest development seems to be in lines with Twitter’s initiative to make tweets “easier to read, understand, and join conversations”, which it announced earlier this year. The company even launched a new beta app “twttr” designed to let people (those who enroll in the programme) to test upcoming Twitter features.</p> <p>Recently, Twitter made it easier for users to capture photos and videos and share them quickly in a fresh tweet. Twitter announced the rollout of the new feature in a tweet and this camera-focussed feature is expected to released for both Android and iOS users. There were also reports about the “Subscribe to conversation” feature that lets users stay notified about tweets you’re interested in - or follow them without having to like or comment on them.</p> <p>Related Read:</p> <p>Twitter app updated with darker 'Lights out' colour scheme</p> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">We want it to be easy to follow and join conversations on Twitter.

<p>The line between iOS and Android have significantly blurred in the past few years with gesture navigation, digital well-being and more features now common across the two platform. If a report by 9to5Google is to be believed, the line is going to become even blurrier with the introduction of Android’s version of 3D Touch, called “Deep Press”.</p> <p>The feature was discovered while testing the latest developer build of Android Q. Information present in documentation related to “MotionEvent” function of Android Q have revealed there will be something called “Deep Press” in the upcoming Android OS.</p> <p>The documentation states that presently, users intentionally press harder on the screen when long-pressing. Deep Press should be “used to accelerate the long press behaviour.” Essentially, deep press will be a feature where an action can be triggered when the user presses down on the display harder than usual.</p> <p>The feature sounds quite familiar to Force Touch or 3D Touch, a pressure-sensitive navigation feature which debuted in the first Apple Watch in 2014. \</p> <p>However, just because there’s support for Deep Press in Android Q doesn’t mean it can be used. It needs specialised hardware for it to work. However, if Android Q does support it, OEMs can be encourage to install components to enable the feature.</p> <p>The Deep Press feature will possibly debut with Google Pixel 4 which is expected to launch in October, a few months after Android Q rolls out to the masses.</p> <p>Related Read:</p> <p>Android Q may bring system-wide Dark Mode: Report</p> <p>Google I/O 2019 schedule goes live, covers Android Q, Stadia, Google Assistant</p>
