Motorola Razr foldable smartphone's for 2019 features revealed

You've probably heard about Motorola's plans to resurrect the Razr brand by giving it a more 2019 vibe - a flexible display. Essentially, it's going to be a flip phone with a high-tech twist. We've seen some schematics of what it might look like and now we have more details about the software features.

The guys over at XDA Developers have obtained info on some of the features and were kind enough to share them with the rest of us. For starters, the second display placed on the back. It doesn't give full access to all Android features. Only a couple of apps will be allowed to access the second display like Moto Display, Moto Actions and Moto Camera.

When unfolded, the secondary display can act as a trackpad to scroll webpages in Chrome. Engineers plan to support to other apps as well. The screen also shows up to 6 quick settings, but they remain unnamed at this point.

The main camera can be used for taking selfies as the secondary display can act as a viewfinder while the main one will take the photo with a single tap or a swipe. The external display also shows the clock, pulsing notifications and has media controls. You can set a different wallpaper for the second display too.

That's plenty of information to get us excited about the future of Razr phones and we can't wait for an official announcement.

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. If you open up your iPhone’s settings, iOS 12 public beta 10 (developer beta 12) is now available to download. Once you do, the obnoxious, constant alert — about an update that didn’t even exist — will go away. GuilhermeRamo managed to pinpoint what went wrong with the last iOS 12 beta. The build thought it was about to expire, thus setting off the string of notifications and mass frustration: This annoying hiccup...

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. The new feature, which has been in anticipation since October last year - when the new authentication addition was reported for the first time, works similarly to how you can lock Outlook or Signal on your iPhone. It essentially applies biometric authentication to open WhatsApp. However, the feature doesn't add the additional security to your individual WhatsApp conversations. WhatsApp for Android is also in the rumours to bring a similar form of authentication layer in the coming future. With the la...
