Huawei's next mobile phone is set to pre-install 70 popular apps

Image
Huawei seems to be ready to adapt to the backdrop of the US ban on Huawei, which has forced Huawei to market its devices without Google services. It is reported that Huawei phones will be pre-installed with more than 70 popular Android apps, which will be included before the handset is available. The list of apps will vary depending on the market for the particular mobile phone and the top charts of the Play Store. However, Huawei is still not able to pre-install apps like Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp on its devices. The Huawei P40 series is expected to be released with these changes. The new facility comes with the newly formed Global Developer Service Alliance (GDSA), and the company is reportedly preparing to launch an app to port apps to Huawei, Oppo Xiaomi, and Vivo. As we already reported to you that Huawei has already left Google Maps and is working with TomTom on a new Map service, it is clear that Huawei has already be...

Google decides to block file download as HTTP through Chrome HTTPS websites

Image
Remember, we warned you before about how to show websites that don't have HTTPS in Google Chrome as Not Secure. Now, Google is planning to go further in this step by blocking the ability to download files from Chrome websites, such as https://www.software.com/ http://www.php-content-programme.html. The ability to download files in this way means that hackers can send files with a different virus instead of the user, which is a threat to Chrome users' security. Chrome - 82 version Files like .exe and .apk display a warning for executable files Chrome - 83 version Downloading executable files completely Displaying a warning for archive files such as .zip and .iso Chrome - 84 version Download Archive files completely Displaying a warning for document files such as .doc and .pdf Chrome - 85 version Blocking the download of document files completely Displaying a warning for images, audio, video, text files such as .png and .mp3 Chrome - 86 version ...

EU decides to make USB-C port mandatory for all mobile phones

Image
With the introduction of the USB-C standard in 2015, most Android phones have adapted to this, but micro-USB and other ports are still on the market. Specifically, Apple uses its proprietary port, Lightning Ports, to maintain its monopoly. However, the European Commission has now proposed that the USB-C port should be made mandatory for all phones, tablets, e-book readers and all portable devices. The main reason for this is that E-waste, or electronic waste, can be minimized and enabled to charge any cell phone using the same cable. The proposal has now been drafted and will require the manufacturer to add a USB-C port to their phones if they want to sell their phones in European countries. The same applies to Apple phones, which require Apple to add a USB-C port to their upcoming iPhone instead of their Lightning port. It is reported that they intend to legislate between July and September this year. You can use the European Parliament's offic...

Apple is working on a new mobile website for iCloud.com

Image
Apple is currently working on updating its iCloud.com mobile website, which is great news for users using their iCloud account via a web browser on Android or iOS. You may remember that the site is loaded from a mobile browser, but it is loaded from a full desktop site. However, Apple has taken steps to make this new mobile site look like a normal iOS-related service. This is especially useful for those who have access to their iCloud account using an Android device, and services such as Notes, Photos, Reminders and Find My iPhone can be easily accessed via an Android device. However, with this new mobile UI, only Notes, Photos, Reminders, and Find My iPhone services are available, and other apps like Contacts, Calendar, and iWork Suite are expected to be added to the mobile website. To find out more about this, use The Verge website and 9to5mac.

Twitter is planning to introduce a feature that limits its ability to respond to Twitter

Image
The CES, Consumer Electronics Show 2020 event was held this week in Las Vegas, USA and Twitter were also in attendance. Yesterday, Twitter chief Susan Shih posted some of the features Twitter can offer, including the ability to limit the number of people who can reply to tweets. A tweet we post, for example, is only allowed to reply to those who are tagged in a tweet or only those who like it. However, with this new feature, there are four options: global, group, committee and statement. When the global option is selected, anyone can reply to the relevant tweet. (That is a typical tweet.) Team - Select this option so that tagged users and their followers can reply. Panel - When this option is selected, only the relevant tweet tags can be answered. Declaration - If this option is selected no one can reply to the relevant tweet and it will be declared as a statement. The facility has already been launched and will be available to all Twitter u...
