Sending messages to the wrong person and sulking in embarrassment might be a thing of the past as Apple has rolled out a new feature that lets users edit and unsend iMessages.

Apple iOS New Update

iOS users have been blessed with a myriad of new features including the one which lets them unsend and edit messages within a spectrum of time.

If you have made a grammatical mistake or even texted the wrong person, you now have 15 minutes to edit what your message says and two minutes to unsend it. However, users can only edit a single message up to 5 times.

“These features are going to make a big difference in how you use iMessages every single day,” Apple’s software engineering SVP Craig Federighi explained.

iMessage’s new feature is a complete game changer for the company and iMessage senders everywhere. The message section will now not only have an edit button but an unsend option as well.

The newest update will also let users mark a message as unread even after it’s been opened.

“With Twitter and Apple now also enabling this feature, it is clear that this is a trend that many mobile users demand from these platforms,” said Lian Jye Su, research director at market research firm ABI Research.

“Since the barrier to switching messaging platforms is near zero, rich and user-friendly features have become a critical competitive advantage.”

How To Use The Feature?

To Edit A Message

To edit a message all you need to do is to go into the thread.
Click, press and hold your finger down on the message you want to edit.
This will bring up the Tapback reactions and the quick action menu. Finally, tap Edit.
The editable text can now be deleted or edited.
Once you have made the desired changes click the blue checkmark button on the right side to save your edits.

To Unsend A Message

To unsend a message you need to launch the Messages app.
Press and hold down on the message you want to unsend, and tap Undo Send.
The message will be removed from the recipients’ thread. However, this doesn’t guarantee that they have not seen the text.
Your thread will show a message stating that your message has been unsent.

Sep 21, 2022

eSim is all the rage nowadays but many of us don’t know what it is. Do you know which networks are offering it in Pakistan? Using local and travel eSIMs is advised to save money because international roaming can be pricey. Moreover, if you purchase a trip eSIM, you can avoid Pakistan’s lengthy lineups and SIM card registration red tape.

What is eSIM?

The eSIM (embedded SIM) was introduced a few years ago. But what is this type of SIM?

To explain it simply, the eSIM eliminates the need to carry about a chain of SIM cards in a wallet or pocket. Users can access cellular networks without using a physical SIM card in their phone. The cellular plans can instead be remotely activated on an eSIM.

Who Is Offering It in Pakistan?

In Pakistan, Jazz and Ufone have currently made eSIM technology available to their customers. Reports suggest that other carriers may soon follow suit. While Ufone began offering eSIM support in February 2021, Jazz first announced its support for eSIM activation in 2019. Among the supported smartphones are the Apple iPhone XS, XS Max, XR, Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL.

How Can You Activate It?

Subscribers can visit any Jazz Business Center to register for the eSIM on their current number. If they want to do it digitally, they can activate the SIM through Wi-Fi. After registering, they will get a coupon with a QR code that must be scanned in the phone’s settings. Customers of Ufone can complete the same method and obtain the eSIM jacket from Ufone Service Center.

QR Code Activation?

On iPhone
1. Connect to the internet via Wi-Fi
2. Go to Settings > Cellular
3. Tap on “Add Cellular Plan”
4. The camera screen will pop-up to scan the QR code.
5. Scan the QR code you received on a voucher.

On Google Pixel
1. Connect to the internet via Wi-Fi
2. Go to Settings > Network & internet > Mobile network > Advanced > Carrier
3. Tap on “Add Carrier/Operator”
4. Scan the QR code you received on a voucher.

Get the eSim today and get with the times. You might be spending a lot of money on other sims and also causing a lot of inconvenience to yourself. Don’t miss out.

What are your thoughts about eSims in Pakistan? Let us know in the comments below.

Is 2022 The Driest Year On Record?

By

-

Sep 21, 2022

This summer has seen extremely high temperatures in parts of China and Europe. Beyond that, there is aridity in Africa that has put millions at risk of famine. Besides that, there is persistently low rainfall in the American West. So, have the last several months been the driest on record? Scientists have also predicted warmer and drier seasons are more likely to become the norm.

How Is This Detected?

The amount of soil moisture, as determined by satellite photography, is one indicator of drought conditions utilised by scientists. To get a sense of how extreme recent weather patterns have been, scientists compared these dry circumstances over the past three months. They wanted to get the average conditions since the turn of the century.

What Have The Droughts Done?

According to the EU’s Copernicus environmental programme, the drought that has affected Europe this summer may be the worst the continent has seen in 500 years. This is big news because it shows how far we are when it comes to climate change. The “soil moisture deficit” affected over half of Europe at the height of the dry period in late August. This also extends to other regions. For example, according to China’s Meteorological Administration, this summer’s lengthy spell of high temperatures in China lasted for more than two months and was the longest since records began in the 1960s.

UN’s Reporting

The UN has also issued a warning that 22 million people may be in danger of famine due to drought conditions in eastern Ethiopia, northern Kenya, and Somalia. According to Oxfam, the region of the continent is “currently in the third year of very little rainfall paired with high temperatures.” The UN is directly working on gathering data on these regions and countries for whom drought has had terrible consequences.

The heatwave in the UK, this time around, was especially shocking as the temperatures were soaring. They went higher than expectations too. Let’s be real about this as well. The reason why this is such a huge cause of concern for western countries is also that the people there can not handle these high temperatures. They are simply not used to it.

Here’s How 10-Year-Olds Are Losing One Night Of Sleep Every Week

By

-

Sep 21, 2022

A recent study has discussed the dreadful effects of social media on children’s routines as it concluded that almost 70% of children are losing sleep equivalent to one night every week.

The study conducted at De Montfort University Leicester in the U.K. suggests that 12.5% of 10-year-olds are losing about one night of sleep per week because they’re waking up in the middle of the night to check notifications.

Social Media Engagement & Sleep

Psychology lecturer John Shaw, who headed the study, said that children were supposed to sleep for between nine to 11 hours a night, per NHS guidelines, but those surveyed reported sleeping an average of 8.7 hours nightly.

The study involved 60 students, age 10, from schools within Leicester. The study groups reported the use of social media for “more than four hours a day, with two-thirds saying they were using it in the hours before bedtime.”

“The fear of missing out, which is driven by social media, is directly affecting their sleep. They want to know what their friends are doing, and if you’re not online when something is happening, it means you’re not taking part in it,” Shaw shared at the British Science Festival last week.

“And it can be a feedback loop. If you are anxious, you are more likely to be on social media; you are more anxious as a result of that. And you’re looking at something that’s stimulating and delaying sleep.”

Apps With The Most Engagement

Among the social media apps TikTok received the most engagement from children, with 90% of those surveyed saying they used the app. Followed by Snapchat with 84%, while just over half of those surveyed said they used Instagram.

According to researchers, this is the first study of its kind to look in depth at how social media sites such as TikTok and Instagram may be affecting the sleep and emotions of pre-teens.

“I suppose it is that knock-on effect on sleep and what that means for the children in terms of their cognitive development and really their social development as well because if they are always online, what does that mean for them with their in-person socialisation.” Said Shaw.

“Sleep is very important for emotion processing and memory consolidation, creativity and problem-solving among children. When they are not getting enough sleep, those processes don’t get a chance to occur,” he added.

“When it comes to biological processes during sleep, when we enter slow-wave sleep, our body rests, recovers releases growth hormone. They’re still growing, that’s why younger people tend to get more sleep than adults because they are going through biological changes.”

Original Perfumes Vs Impressions: Here's What You Need To Know1 — Image Source: Freepik

In these times of inflation, investing in high-end perfumes and breaking your pocket is a little difficult to cope with. But that shouldn’t refrain you from smelling like a dream and making a strong first impression. Hence comes the perfume impressions. The impressions are fragrances created using extracts from the plants and herbs used to create perfumes, colognes, and other scented products.

While perfume impressions don’t smell exactly like the original perfumes they still are a great way to customize an odor and create a signature scent from scratch. The kind of scent you customize can differ from mild to strong.

Find out more about perfume impressions and how you can create one for yourself.

How Perfume Impressions Are Made?

Perfume comes at varying prices, likewise, not two scents smell the same. Some perfumes are said to be heavy while others are described as light. However, they are generally classified by concentration or by their scent profile (i.e., fresh, floral, oriental).

The difference between concentrations is how long they usually last on the skin. The perfume impressions on the other hand are something you can experiment with. What works best for you might be the key to decoding a signature scent of your personal preference.

The most common ingredients used in impressions include base oils (almond, jojoba, olive) and essential oils (lavender, rose, chamomile, etc). The quantity of each essential oil differs depending on how strong you want the particular scent. A decent concoction offers a mixture of 20% base notes, 50% heart notes, and 30% top notes since they blend easily. The technique is often used in perfumes so the notes don’t dominate over the others.

Why You Should Get Perfume Impressions?

While creating perfume impressions can be fun, more importantly, you can use perfume impressions to get an idea of a certain scent before investing in a high-end product. These perfume impressions are also a great option to gift someone since they hold sentimental value.

A perfume impression is a quick way of getting yourself to smell like your favorite perfume without breaking the bank. Students and youngsters can benefit from the art of making homemade scents without having to invest much.

Perfume Impressions In Pakistan

The business of perfume impressions has been gaining momentum in Pakistan as of late. While many brands have come out with their collections in an attempt to replicate the high-end scents – many small brands also have been decoding the essence of impressions.

A Bumpy Start For iPhone 14 Users? Apple Confirms New Problems — Image Source: Mobilemall

New iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max users are running into a variety of issues. Some of these problems are actual bugs and others are a matter of people getting used to iOS 16 and their new iPhones.

iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max users are complaining about Bluetooth problems, Wi-Fi issues, and performance issues. Meanwhile, Apple has also confirmed that iMessage and FaceTime might not complete the activation on iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro”. The company has acknowledged that issues may still occur, even after updating to iOS 16.0.1.

Apple Documents Problems With iPhone and iOS

In a memo seen by MacRumors, Apple says that “there is a known issue for iOS 16 that may impact device activations on open Wi-Fi networks.” To resolve the issue, Apple says customers should select connect to Mac or to a PC with iTunes in the initial iOS onboarding process when prompted to connect to a Wi-Fi network and then return to the previous screen and try again on Wi-Fi until the activation goes through successfully.

Apple noted in the memo there are no current official fixes and that support staff must not create a repair for the issue. Unfortunately, the bug is untimely, as customers worldwide begin receiving their iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, and ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ Max pre-orders.

For new ‌iPhone 14‌ customers, there is an available iOS 16.0.1 update that fixes an issue with activation and migration during setup. If you’re facing issues activating your ‌iPhone 14‌ out of the box, you may need to restore it with a Mac or PC to iOS 16.0.1 to fix the bug and fully activate your new iPhone.

In a support document, Apple tells new ‌iPhone 14‌ and ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ customers that “iMessage and FaceTime might not complete activation” until they’ve updated their new iPhones to iOS 16.0.1.

How To Solve The Problem

Experts have advised owners of older iPhones to opt for iOS 15.7 rather than iOS 16. Meanwhile, Apple is suggesting backup steps if you’re having issues after updating. You can go through the following steps to solve the problem.

In the Settings app, tap ‘Cellular’.
Make sure that your phone line is turned on. If you use multiple SIMs, make sure that the phone number you want to use is selected and turned on.
In the Settings app, tap ‘Messages’. Then tap ‘Send & Receive’.Tap the phone number that you want to use with Messages.
Go back in the Settings app, and tap ‘FaceTime’.
Tap the phone number that you want to use with FaceTime.

10 Quick And Easy Snacks That Can Help You Lose Weight

quick snacks weight loss — Image Source: Easy Snack

Not all snacks need to be avoided while someone is trying to lose weight. We’ve all been there when eating once a day seemed like the best solution. However, contrary to popular opinion, trying to lose weight does not need a person to restrict their diet or only eat at meals. These are all the snacks you can have and still lose weight!

1. Hummus and Vegetables

A 2016 study conducted by doctors found that hummus has a number of advantages. Protein and fibre in hummus are both good sources and both can hasten the feeling of fullness. People who eat hummus with veggies are receiving both the nutritional benefits of the hummus and any additional nutrients from the vegetables.

2. Nut Butter and Fruits

A healthy snack that fits into a diet is apples and peanut butter. Have peanut butter with any fruit! One medium apple, or one of the required two cups of fruit per day, contains 20% of the dietary fibre that an individual needs.

3. Nuts

Nuts offer healthy fats and protein. You can munch on them all day long. Just don’t have the additional salt ones. A person should also stay away from nuts that have been flavor-cooked because the flavors frequently contain salt or sugar.

4. Eggs

An excellent source of protein. Due to worries about cholesterol, however, many people traditionally believed that eggs were unhealthy. However, not only are they filling but also help with weight loss.

5. Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt is low in fat and calories, high in calcium and protein. To enhance the flavor and nutritional content of Greek yogurt, it is safe to add fresh fruit or nuts. Go strawberries!

6. Cottage Cheese and Fruit

One cup of cottage cheese contains 24 grammes of satisfying protein. Cottage cheese and fruit make for a sweet, creamy, and satisfying snack since the cottage cheese’s protein and fat complement the fruit’s fiber.

7. Almonds and Dark Chocolate

Almonds and dark chocolate make a delicious combination. A potent flavor and health pairing is the rich chocolate flavor and the crunchy almonds.

8. Mozzarella and Cherry Tomatoes

Tomatoes with mozzarella cheese are a delicious and healthy way to increase your intake of vegetables.

For a snack that is high in protein, fiber, and healthy fats, combine tomatoes with mozzarella, balsamic vinegar, and a dab of extra virgin olive oil. You won’t forget this one!

9. Oatmeal

Our grandparents eat it for a reason. It is a wonderfully adaptable snack, oatmeal can be eaten hot or cold, at home or on the go. Simply prepare a portion of oats that is a little bit smaller than you would for a meal.

10. Popcorn

Consider air-popped popcorn instead of the butter and salt-covered variety from the movie theatre. A hearty 3-cup serving of popcorn has fewer than 100 calories and provides satisfying fibre.

For instance, as opposed to before, you’ll see that the Like Count and the Thumbs Up/Down are now combined in a single container. Moreover, the app’s most used commands have also received a similar treatment when it comes to change. There are buttons for downloading, creating, sharing, and other things now. Even new stuff has been created.

For instance, the carousel that is present on mobile devices will now be displayed beneath a channel’s data. The details will be available directly after the title, post date, hashtags, and total views of the item.

The Ambient Mode

Reports suggest this new interface is worth to watch out for because of the Ambient Mode. Here, the explanation has a chance to blend in with the bottom of the movie and the system bar. It overall provides a more immersive experience. Additionally, you may easily activate or deactivate it by going to your overflow menu.

Increased Engagement Tactics

The appearance of the top comment is yet another significant screen feature that passionate app enthusiasts care for. This will now be located in a more noticeable area. Youtube has aimed to give people the feel of popularity. Thus, they’re targeting increased engagement.

YouTube’s desktop version will be even better. Here, visual descriptions are given more visual emphasis. The software obviously believes that this will be advantageous to the designers. So how excited are you to use the new Youtube soon?

Among these initiatives, OPPO’s self-developed Battery Health Engine (BHE) helps smartphone batteries maintain more than 80% of their original capacity after as many as 1,600 charge-discharge cycles, which is twice the industry average.

Youth Empowerment: OPPO Renovators Emerging Artists Program has been launched for four consecutive years to encourage young creators to unleash their creativity and imagine the future of technology through art.

Digital Inclusion: OPPO believes in the virtue of technology and is committed to improving the product design for accessibility and the elders, to cater to the diverse needs of different groups.

Health and Wellbeing: Launched by OPPO Health Lab, OPPO Health Research Kit includes a full suite of tools to help healthcare professionals collect and analyze data, making health research easier. OPPO also cares about the mental health of our users and introduces the O Relax application, which includes a series of relaxation sounds and games to help users relax in a fun way.

Earlier this year, OPPO also launched the OPPO Research Institute Innovation Accelerator to empower technology professionals and entrepreneurs to bring their innovations to life. With the theme of ‘Virtuous Innovation’, the program sought proposals related to the two subjects of Accessible Technology and Digital Health. This year, OPPO has received 536 proposals from 39 countries and regions, and the top 10 winning proposals were awarded grants of around USD $46,000 each, as well as further opportunities for investment, technological support, research, commercial partnerships, and global promotion from OPPO and its partners.

Looking to the future with “Inspiration Ahead”, OPPO will continue to evolve its brand and business to deliver more value for both consumers and society. On the business side, OPPO will focus on the four key future directions of smart learning, smart productivity, smart entertainment, and smart healthcare, as it continues to develop user-centric innovations and create a more intelligent living for its users worldwide. At the same time, OPPO will continue to invest in its sustainable development, empowering global users with greater confidence and optimism while working to build a better future for all.

For example, there is a realm where socks are never lost and aliens don’t kidnap you. They entertain you! Moreover, every logo leads to a unique media channel.

According to Vandita Pandey, CMO of PepsiCo, “We are very delighted to now create a new universe of our own. It literally lets us demonstrate the pleasure and optimism that comes from thinking about life in an alternate way.” She added that, “It’s uncommon that you get to claim you’re happy to be developing an other universe. A universe that particularly transforms something as famous as every Pepsi can and logo into a way to visit it.” However, Pepsi is changing it all. Even the creation process for the universe’s content is very different from anything you’ve ever seen from the brand itself.

A New Way For Beverages?

This could eb the gateway for other beverage brands to also leverage their identity and build a representative entertainment channel. Coke already has a store and is always working with events. What they do is Pepsi’s competition however, it’s safe to say Pepsi has taken it above and beyond with this.

Taking their beverage brand to a new Nania-esque portal is an incredible initiative that is bound to attract more people.

Pakistanis are just as talented and exceptional at making content as any other person from a different nationality. However, we were facing a disconnect and challenge in monetizing this skill because well, Instagram hadn’t listed Pakistan as an applicable country. But it all changes now with a new update! Read about it here:

What Happened?

Pakistan has now become eligible for Instagram monetization! This means video producers can start making large sums of money similar to what is done on YouTube. Pakistan has now officially become one of the nations where individuals can profit from businesses, deals, advertising, and quality content on Instagram. This is a huge initiative for Pakistani content creators because they can now start their careers on the website. It is a hard time for the country, this gives people a lot of opportunities.

Instagram and Pakistanis

There is no doubt that Instagram is utilized by millions of individuals in Pakistan. It has a larger influencer community than Youtube even. Actors and artists also have an upper hand because they already have a huge following.

But it’s also not that simple. You have to comply with monetization rules if you want to earn from Instagram. Simply go to settings in your Instagram app. Go to Access Status under Account > Branded Content. Over there, you will be able to see the requirements for monetization. If you meet the standards, you are qualified to receive compensation. If not, get working on setting up the profile! This has nothing to do with the updating of the app.

Producing Quality Content

Although it is difficult, producing quality material is not impossible. We have the creativity, we just need to be more business savvy. For instance, it is not profitable for someone to create a static video with a still image. You need to keep up with the trends around the world.

Moreover, the visual slideshows, looping movies, text montages, integrated adverts, and polls elevate the experience of the audience. The content that distributes false information or is dangerous will be punished. Your monetization can get blocked.

Smartphones are incredibly useful and vital to many of us. But when should your children have their own smartphones? How do you decide?

When there is so much technology in our lives, it isn’t easy to figure out when and how to let your kids start using it. Do you go early and give them devices from a young age? Or do you hold off and teach them about responsibility first?

For most, it’s somewhere in the middle, but it begs the question: at what age should your kids get a smartphone?

According to experts several key factors can be considered when deciding if your child is ready for a smartphone – and what you should do once they own one.

When Children Should Get Smartphones?

There is no set age that parents agree upon when it comes to giving a child their first smartphone. There isn’t much clear information from the tech industry either, though there are plenty of studies, opinions, and insights from tech leaders, educators, government offices, and much more.

Famously, Bill Gates said none of his children were allowed a smartphone until age 14. Likewise, Madonna has shared on an occasion that she regrets giving her older children phones at age 13, and wouldn’t do it again.

Data from UK’s communications regulator, Ofcom show that the vast majority of children in the UK own a smartphone by the age of 11. Meanwhile, the ownership rises from 44% at age nine to 91% at age 11. In the US, 37% of parents of nine- to 11-year-olds say their child has their own smartphone.

European studies across 19 countries show that 80% of children aged nine to 16 reported using a smartphone daily.

“By the time we get to older teens, over 90% of kids have a phone,” says Candice Odgers, professor of psychological science at the University of California, Irvine, in the US.

Study Analysis

Odgers did an analysis of the link between digital technology use and child and adolescent mental health. As well as other large-scale studies and daily diary studies. She found no consistent link between adolescents’ technology use and their well-being.

“The majority of studies find no association between social media use and mental health,” says Odgers. In the studies where an association was found, the effect was small both positive and negative.

“The biggest finding really was a disconnect between what people believe, including adolescents themselves, and what the evidence actually says,” she says.

Amy Orben, an experimental psychologist at the University of Cambridge, UK, also found the evidence inconclusive. While there was a small negative correlation, on average, across the studies included, Orben concluded it was impossible to know whether technology has a direct relationship with poor well-being or vice versa. It was also difficult to highlight which factors were influencing both. Much of the research in this area is not enough to deliver meaningful results, she concluded.

“There’s an inherent large variation around that impact [on wellbeing] that has been found in the scientific literature,” says Orben. The experience of individual teenagers will depend on their own personal circumstances.

“The only person who really can judge that is often the people who are closest to them,” she adds.
