We had already covered various rumors regarding TikTok supposedly stealing your personal data. Now, a new report has revealed that the platform also harvests your personal data through the in app keyboard as well.
The news arrives from InAppBrowser.com(Via PhoneArena) that stated that the in app keyboard on popular social media platforms are capable of stealing data based on what is being typed.

Notably, out of all of these social media applications, the one company that does not offer users the option to use your default QWERTY keyboard is TikTok.

This has also the reason why the brand came under first by another US presidential administration that was concerned about national security.In its defense, TikTok took to Twitter to share a tweet that stated that “The report’s conclusions about TikTok are incorrect and misleading. Contrary to its claims, we do not collect keystroke or text inputs through this code, which is solely used for debugging, troubleshooting and performance monitoring.”
Although, separate reports have also claimed that its in app browser is also quite dangerous since the company can basically track every keystroke on third party websites through this browser. FCC commissioner Brendan Carr said that this app is a “sophisticated surveillance tool that harvests extensive amounts of personal and sensitive data.”

A few days back, we reported that Samsung had started pushing a new software update for the Galaxy S8 series. The same update isnowavailable for two more old smartphones, namely Galaxy S5 Neo, Galaxy S7 series, and Galaxy Note 8. Let’s check out what is it all about.
Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo
Galaxy S5 Neo, Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Edge, and Galaxy Note 8 are not eligible for software support, just like the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus. Despite this, all of these old flagship series handsets are being treated with a new software update.
The latest firmware for these phones neither brings new features nor bumps up the security patch level. Instead, it arrives with a fix related to GPS. As per GalaxyClub, Samsung is preparing to release this update for multiple older devices.
Looks like the issue is critical as even the 7-year-old Galaxy J7 received the same update recently. Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy S9, and Galaxy S9 Plus are expected to be the next in line to get this GPS fix update.
If you are still using any of the aforementioned smartphones, then head over to Settings to download and install the update. If you don’t see the update yet, then try later as it may take some time to reach all regional variants.
It’s good to see Samsung issuing software updates for out-of-support handsets. Currently, the company is also ahead of the competition by promising 4 Android updates and 5 years of security updates for select devices.
What are your thoughts on Samsung’s software update policy for its phones? Do let us know in the comment section below.

Although, some others said that this did not work for them.
As of right now, there has been no official word from the Search Engine giant regarding this particular bug. So its unclear when an official fix will roll out officially. But stick around for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding this matter.

As we enter the second half of this year, we edge closer to the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series. And now, a tipster has revealed some interesting information regarding the top end Galaxy S23 Ultra model.
The size of the Galaxy S23 Ultra is almost unchanged from that of the S22 Ultra, with only an increase of 0.1~0.2mm, 5000mAh, 8.9mm thickness, and still a 6.8-inch 3088×1440 screen. As long as the Snapdragon 8Gen2 + One UI 5.1 is excellent, the appearance can remain the same.
Then news arrives from known tipster Ice Universe who shared the news on Twitter. Ice Universe stated that the size of the Galaxy S23 Ultra will be almost the same as the Galaxy S22 Ultra. Apparently, the size difference between the two top end models will be around 0.1 to 0.2mm.

According to the tipster, the upcoming flagship smartphone with the smallest appearance change in Samsung’s history. Although, Ice Universe did add that there will likely be some changes in design like a new camera module.

The Nothing Phone (1) was just recently announced for the global market. The new highly anticipated device ran on Android 12 OS, but with the Android 13 update being around the corner there have been questions regarding the major upgrade. But it appears that this update might be a while away.
When asking about the Android 13 update, the company’s founder shared a rather pointless response on Twitter. His exact words were “A product is more than just its specs, features, and version numbers.” While this might appear like a smart response, it is basically the marketing term for ‘the Android 13 update is not yet ready’ and it seems that likely don’t have the update coming out any time soon either.
Although, its not all bad news since even if the Android 13 update for the Phone (1) isn’t around the corner, the brand is likely working on it at the moment. This is confirmed because the company promised three years of OS updates for the new smartphone. However, even a simple press release or silent announcement would’ve been better than such a dry response, which served no purpose.
A product is more than just its specs, features, and version numbers
Since its launch, there have been users who’ve felt that the software aspect of the Nothing Phone (1) was still lacking. So, a major update might bring more robust software feature to the handset. Unfortunately, this is still just speculation at the moment, so stick around for more updates regarding this matter.

The official landing page of the Infinix Note 12 Pro has gone live on Flipkart under the upcoming launches section where the company has revealed some of the key specs of the smartphone. So, let’s check out what we know about the device so far.
Infinix Note 12 4G specs

Up front, the device is confirmed to come with a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution, 60Hz refresh rate, and a dew-drop notch.
This will be the first device in India to come with the MediaTek Helio G99 chipset. For those unaware, the Helio G99 is basically an upgraded Helio G96 chipset, which is now based on a 6nm node rather than a 12nm node. The chipset will be complemented by 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage.

A sizable 5,000mAh battery with support for 33W rapid charging will power it. The phone will utilize Android 12 under an XOS 10.6 overlay.
Pricing (expected)
Considering that Infinix is targeting the budget segment with this smartphone, it won’t be a surprise if the Note 12 4G launches with a price tag of under Rs. 15,000. Its 5G counterpart dubbed the Infinix Note 12 5G launched with a starting price of Rs. 17,999 in India.
Seamless connectivity across platforms brings connectivity to users. It is the reason why Apple has such a loyal fanbase because the iOS, macOS, and iPadOS operating systems are all seamlessly integrated together within Apple’s ecosystem. The Apple ecosystem provides its users the convenience and benefit of sharing media and files between their iPhones, iPads, and Macbooks at the same place, at the same time.
Thus, it comes as no surprise when Android manufacturers want to emulate the experience to provide Android users a seamlessly integrated experience as well. Case and point, Huawei has managed to create their own ecosystem with their smartphones, tablets, Huawei Matebook laptops, as well as their smart TVs, with their own in-house self-developed HarmonyOS.
And in 2022, it looks like another player will be joining the smart ecosystem competition as well, and it is none other the biggest brand of the BBK consumers electronics group – Oppo.

At more than 42 million acres, the Pantanal is the largest tropical wetland and one of the most pristine in the world. To put its size into perspective, put the Pantanal over Europe, and it would be larger than at least nine countries, including England, Austria, Hungary, Greece, and Ireland.
It sprawls across three South American countries—Bolivia, Brazil and Paraguay—and supports millions of people there, as well as communities in the lower Rio de la Plata Basin. Another fun fact of this massive wetland is that it has the largest concentration of crocodiles in the world, with approximately 10 million caimans.
According sources within China, the Pantanal smart cross-platform ecosystem is one of the 3 most important releases for Oppo this year, alongside Oppo’s Marisilicon X imaging silicon announced earlier this year, and another unknown release that Oppo is saving for the end of the year.
