As promised, however, the company started rolling out November 2018 Android security patch for these two phones on November 15.

Additionally, in a reply to a user, Realme India's support page said that ColorOS 5.2 will come to the Realme 2 in the end of December 2018. The company also recently confirmed it would be releasing an Android Pie update for the Realme 1 and Realme 2 smartphones 'soon'.

Apple releases new iOS 12 beta, putting a stop to infuriating update notification

A new iOS update is now available (for real) “A new iOS update is now available. Please update from the iOS 12 beta.” If you’ve been running the latest version of Apple’s beta software for OS 12, you’ve likely been pestered by this notification a whole lot over the last 24 hours. Dozens of times? Potentially hundreds? Yesterday, it started showing up every time an iOS device was unlocked — or even if you just pulled down the notification tray a little bit. Thankfully, just as we enter Labor Day weekend, Apple has shipped another iOS 12 update to restore sanity.

WhatsApp for iPhone Gets Face ID, Touch ID Biometric Authentication

HIGHLIGHTS WhatsApp for iPhone has a Screen Lock option to enable the new feature The feature can be enabled immediately or after an interval Outlook and Signal are offering a similar experience for some time WhatsApp for iPhone has received an important update through build version 2.19.20. The latest update brings the anticipated biometric authentication that allows users to lock the WhatsApp on their iPhone models by deploying the native Face ID or Touch ID.
