Signal Set to Roll out New Hard Nut Messaging Update for iPhone Users.

-






The US Senate and other governments have for long progressed a crackdown on secure messaging that values the federal governments need to be snooping on messaging applications of device users for ‘National Security’ purposes. Ironically, even with this legislation's currently in place, messaging technologies have attracted more users because of their guarantee to security. iPhone users sending messages to other third party platforms like WhatsApp have something great coming that is worth smiling about.

For WhatsApp’s vulnerability and iPhone’s top priority to security and usability, there is going to be a fine balance and fixes put in place to achieve the latter with Signal.

Signal which is the most renowned secure messaging platform so far is offering the update in iPhone users. Even with the main problem of Signal for iPhone users being unable to transfer messaging logs when you upgrade, Signal has settled this and users will not have to feel the pain of starting over again when upgrading the tool. With iMessage and WhatsApp for iPhone, its users rely on repositories to manage the transfer of their messaging history.

Signal being Signal has gone ahead to make sure that while you transfer you messaging history in the current upgrade, the database from the history transfer in the older tool or phone will be wiped off. No footprints and you’ll be good to go. The only demerit to this approach by Signal is that when you lose your phone, you lose your data. But if you prioritise you security, you won’t shed a tear as you wouldn’t want your message history out of your control.

Currently, WhatsApp too is trying to integrate such a move to giving priority to their users messaging experiences and do away with cloud based storage and traces of messaging when updating or transferring WhatsApp data.

GOOD NEWS: BTC coming to Visa.

                                               credits: alphacard.me Payments giant VISA could soon add Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to its expansive payments network, CEO Alfred Kelly said during an online appearance last week. However, despite the words, Kelly is not entirely convinced of the broader use case of cryptocurrencies so far. The payments veteran said that while Bitcoin was among the most widely used and known cryptocurrencies, its function was more like “digital gold” and that it was “not used as a form of payment in a significant way at this point.” Cryptocurrency services are, so far, allowed only for exchanges and wallet providers who receive fiat from a customer and exchange it to crypto on their end. This means that whenever a customer uses a “crypto card” at a retail merchant, the  actual  crypto itself does not interact with the VIS...

NO RESOLUTION YET? ,YOU NEED TO INVEST IN CRYPTOCURRENCY!

               There has been quite misconstrued versions of stories surrounding cryptocurrency investments, and especially the most renowned one- Bitcoin (BTC). While it is agreeable that hoaxes and scamming has been rampant in the recent past over what con men term to be "bitcoin investment", finding a real and verified cryptocurrency trading platform will ease the hustle of you being a target to cons.            I was introduced to cryptocurrency by a roommate from my days in Campus. I was suspicious of the idea and I therefore "blew" a whooping Kshs. 100 to purchase my first bundle of bitcoins. That was about six years ago. I forgot about the a hundred shillings as they wouldn't be sold at a value worthy enough to satisfy my needs. September 2020, I was fixated! The idea of my crypto-trading account crossed my mind, however I grew numb because I had forgotten the password and had also lost the paper code to help w...

REPORT: Meta AR glasses roadmap shows Zuckerberg pushing hard for 'iPhone moment' by 2024

Meta Platforms ( FB   +0.6% ) used a  February event  to showcase the role of  artificial intelligence in the company's future, with a nod to an eventual release of new eyeglasses tapping augmented reality (AR) - the ability to overlay information on the world a user sees around them. A new look at the company's AR roadmap shows a push to  make a splash with new glasses as soon as 2024 . CEO Mark Zuckerberg has a particular interest in the product, wanting it to be "an iPhone moment," a source tells The Verge, adding "Zuck's ego is intertwined" with the glasses. It's a "holy grail" device that will mark a redefinition of people's relationship with technology, akin to the rollout of smartphones, Zuckerberg says, but the demos so far haven't been based on functioning hardware or software, suggesting the reality of that vision is some years away. The company's roadmap - for "Project Nazare" - suggests employees are racing...
