  Meta Platforms Inc, Microsoft Corp, X Corp, and Match Group Inc have jointly urged a federal judge to dismiss Apple's proposed plan to open its App Store to external payment options. In an unusual collective filing, the companies argued that Apple's proposal fails to align with the 2021 ruling, which found the iPhone manufacturer in violation of California unfair competition laws. The ruling mandated Apple to permit app developers to direct users to their own payment systems. Citing similarities with arguments put forth by Epic Games Inc in its ongoing antitrust battle against Apple, the companies asserted that Apple's plan imposes new constraints on app developers, hindering the competition that the injunction aimed to foster. The joint filing represents the latest development in the ongoing dispute over Apple's stringent control of its app marketplace, which stands as one of the world's predominant platforms alongside Alphabet Inc.'s Google Play. Last year, ...

  iPhone alert issued! Apple users being targeted by phishing attack with fake password change requests In a concerning development, Apple users have become the latest targets of an advanced phishing attack.

  Clearing the cache can be beneficial in some cases. If your Android phone has started feeling a bit sluggish lately, there's a quick fix you can try before resorting to more drastic measures like factory resets. We're talking about clearing the cached data that builds up from your apps over time. It's an easy process that can breathe new life into a lagging device. What is cached storage? Cached data, or cache files, are like little notes your apps jot down temporarily to quickly retrieve stuff you use often. For example, Twitter/X might cache a few posts so that it doesn’t launch into an empty feed when the network is flaky. Or Netflix can cache movie posters so that it doesn’t have to load them again the next time you re-launch the app. The idea is, instead of starting from scratch every single time, apps store commonly accessed pieces locally as cache files. Without cached data, your apps would be rebuilding stuff from the ground up constantly. A little local storage s...

  Afactory reset, also referred to as a hard reset or master reset, is a procedure that erases all data and settings from your iPhone, restoring it to its original, factory-default state. This can be beneficial if your iPhone is experiencing persistent issues, if you wish to start anew, or if you plan to sell or give away the device. It's important to note that a factory reset permanently deletes all data and cannot be undone, so it's essential to create a backup of your important data before proceeding with the reset. Back up your data before proceeding with the factory reset. This can be done through iCloud or iTunes (on a computer). After the reset, you can use this backup to restore your data and settings. To back up using iCloud, go to “Settings” > [Your Name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup, then press “Back Up Now.” To back up your iPhone using iTunes, connect it to your computer, select iTunes, pick your device and then click “Back Up Now.” Sign out from iCloud and iT...

  The Google I/O is less than a month away and with the event date approaching, speculations around what we might get to see from the tech giant are surfacing. Last year, the Google I/O event was dominated by AI, with new Bing search as well as Gemini being introduced to the world. This year too, AI is expected to take the centerstage at the event but that is not all. There is also speculation that we might get a peak at the Google Pixel 8a. Now, the Google I/O isn't the sort of event that focuses much on hardware products, which is why, apart from the Google Pixel 8a, not much is expected to be unveiled in terms of gadgets. The date for the event was unveiled a couple of days back. This year, the Google I/O is happening on May 14. Google announced the event date in a fun way, inviting users to solve a series of puzzles to unveil it. However, for those not keen on puzzles, there was also a simpler option to just check out the announcement directly. The event kicks off at 10:30 pm...

  Truecaller is getting a new AI-powered tool that helps detect and block more spam. Called 'Max', the feature is currently available on the Android version of the app and works by blocking calls that are not from your list of approved contacts. According to TechCrunch, if a number is not in Truecaller's database, it will use AI to determine if the call is spam or not. Until now, the app used its database, which contains millions of phone numbers to match and detect if a call was spam. However, it also has the potential to block calls from unknown numbers and non-spammers. The new AI-powered tool is currently limited to Truecaller Premium subscribers who use an Android device. This is because, unlike Google, Apple does not allow caller ID services like Truecaller to check and block a spam call. It looks like the company is trying ways to increase spam call protection without the user having to fiddle with the in-app settings. To enable the new feature and protect yourself a...
