Facebook is testing the encryption of audio and video secret calls as a way to increase privacy in the app

Earlier this year, the company was found to be paying people up to $20 a month in exchange for gaining comprehensive access to their phones.

Consequently, in recent months, the company has begun to take steps towards providing a more private platform environment. And according to app researcher Jane Manchun Wong, Facebook has now begun testing another privacy-focused feature.

Currently, the mode of secret conversations embedded within Facebook Messenger encrypts only text messages and does not support the same for audio or video calls. Other unsupported features are group messaging, GIFs and online payments. But now, according to Wong, Facebook has begun testing encryption for audio and video calls in secret conversations.

Testing encoded audio and video calls on Facebook in this particular way does not mean that regular audio and video calls through the platform will also be encrypted.

One microphone analyzes ambient noise while the other is used to capture unwanted noise. Apple says 200 tests per second are performed. One such technology is provided by Beats.A bout battery life Apple says they stay for 5 hours but when noise-canceling technology is not active. Otherwise the lifespan drops to 4.5 hours.

Huawei’s Foldable Phone Finally Has a Debut Date

Mate X is a phone with a Kirin 980 processor and 5G Balong 5000 modem. The phone has a massive 4,500 mAh battery and can be charged at 85% in an half hour through 55W charging.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

When opened the screen has an 8-inch diagonal size, closed a 6.6-inch front screen and an 6.38-inch rear screen.

Unlike the Galaxy Fold that opens like a book, the Mate X‘s screen folds out. As a result it’s a more conventional phone than the Galaxy Fold but the plastic-coated screen will question its longevity.

The phone will go on sale from November 15 for $2,400 for the 8GB RAM and 512GB of memory. Currently the phone will be sold only in China while a global launch is being reviewed.

Huawei said it has sold 200 million smartphones since the beginning of the year to date, reaching the target 64 days before it did last year.

Tests shows that "Dark Mode" makes a difference to the iPhone battery with OLED screens

Tests shows that “Dark Mode” makes a difference to the iPhone battery with OLED screens

Dark Mode is one of the key features of iOS 13 but can it really increase battery life? If it’s an OLED model, the answer is a strong “YES” according to PhoneBuff testing.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

The PhoneBuff team used robotic devices to perform tests on two iPhone XS models, one with dark mode enabled and one not. Testing included watching videos on YouTube, using Twitter, navigating Google Maps and chatting on the Messenger app.

At the end of the test the iPhone XS without dark mode enabled was dead, while the other dark mode still had 30% battery life. This result should be enough to make you use dark mode especially if you use the phone intensely.

Keep in mind that these are not official tests. Also the phones were at 200nits brightness and you can get different results according to the screen brightness levels. Also testing included applications with dark mode. The latter gives a much higher impact on OLED models than LCDs since OLED pixels turn off individually when the view is black.

Several reports are emerging in which Motorola is sending invitations to a November 13 event in Los Angeles, hinting at a “long-awaited discovery of a recreated icon”.
