Facebook is working on a video dating app

These days, whenever we talk about social media platforms, most of them are covered and supported by Facebook, the giant billionaire company. All the top social platforms like – Whatsapp, Instagram, and Facebook are under just one company. 

After the social chat and feeding photos media platform, they are now thinking of going wider by including more other application features. In other words, Facebook is working on building a video dating application. 

As per the announcement, the new speed dating application, namely – Sparked, is developing by Facebook’s NPE internal team. This team created NPE apps that are just experiments on the products to change the primary subject.

Facebook claimed that their new dating app is different from every other present dating application in the market. The homepage of the Sparked dating app says that it is a video dating application. The app is absolutely free to use, and there will be no DMs, swiping, and public profiles in the app.

As per one of the reports by Verge, it is stated that the Sparked application apparently filters people through active video dates within the last four minutes. At this moment, it is not clear that per person how many dates they can attend per event. However, the app’s documentation says that if both daters have a great time together, both he and she can reschedule the 10-minutes date.

And now the best part comes. When both daters feel okay for each other after the second date, the application automatically suggests both users exchange their contact and personal information to actively keep in touch and to move forward with their relationship.

Procedure for creating an account on Sparked

Shockingly, the report also added the information that relatively, it is not easy to create an account for all users. Facebook chooses the unique way to create an account on Sparked.

After submitting the response, the system will be reviewed, and then the only user will get permission to enter in the speed dating application.

New WhatsApp security one should know

Today, privacy is one of the most crucial things to get secure in this world, especially when we have to believe someone else by sharing all our personal details.

Social media platforms like Whatsapp, Instagram, and Facebook play a major role, where almost everybody trusts blindly while sharing such a piece of crucial information. These all billionaires’ companies keep changing their privacy policy, disclaimer, and terms and conditions; however, no user using this platform reads that.

That’s why we here to tell you, all you have to. Whatsapp is the only platform in the world currently, where all users blindly do every personal and professional kind of stuff, and that makes hackers to do attacks on it to retrieve all user’s information.

What’s the security issue?

Therefore, Whatsapp recently changed its security to make its platform more secure. There is a new issue, or can say, the bug in Whatsapp by which anyone with the “Poor Hacking Skills” and with your mobile number can easily delete your account without knowing you and without your confirmation.

What can a hacker gain?

With this bug, of course, the attacker won’t acquire any of the user information and access to the user’s WhatsApp data, but you will definitely lose your account and end up losing all your chat data. And next time when you try to open WhatsApp, you have to create a new one.

As per the one report of Forbes, it is stated that security researchers Ernesto Canales and Luis Márquez Carpintero found that it is quite easy to block a user’s WhatsApp account by entering multiple times 2FA (Two Factor Authentication) code.

When the attacker attempts multiple times 2FA code, then automatically Whatsapp blocks the account for 12 hours. Then the attacker takes advantage by registering a new email id and requests Whatsapp to change their email address by giving the reason for the phone being stolen.

In this case, the Whatsapp support team, without any other verification from users, deletes the user account.

Sounds scary, right! But don’t worry, it is not that easy in real life. Because every time a user tries to enable two-factor authentication, it requires the OTP sent by Whatsapp. This particular means that the attacker must have access to your device to get that 2FA OTP. So the second step might sound easy for you, but the first one is not.

So to actually make this attack workable, the attacker has to know you and has the trust of you to access your device to get the OTP. Of course, you probably think that a remote attack is also a possible option for an attacker. But, no attacker chooses a remote attack just to delete someone’s WhatsApp account as it is very painful and risky.

Whatsapp adds a new two-factor authentication to safeguard that lets you know whenever someone is trying to open your account on another device to improve security. That’s why you can see continuous and not removable notifications by Whatsapp while using Desktop Whatsapp.

Almost every web application and mobile application mentioned in their terms and conditions that they will not use customer’s data for another purpose. Indeed, they do. Yes, they do it from the beginning. 

They actively sell customer’s private data such as Name, Phone number, Email id, Address, Gender, and many other to sales companies to earn high margin revenue.

The leaked data includes user information like – full name, Facebook id, current and past location, date of birth, the status of a relationship, and the entire bio. 

The security team has researched that the data may be used for criminal activities or imitating a personal fraud. They also mentioned that the data might be a few years old. 

The threat may be extracted from the user’s data from a Facebook bug in the “Add Friend” section, solved by the FB team back in 2019. However, they did not release data at that time and continued to circulate it until yesterday.

Are you worried about your data?

From the morning, almost every guy worried about whether their data was leaked or not? Are they composed in the 6 million lists? What should they do?

Don’t worry! To check whether you are exposed or not, there is a way. 

A service, “Have I Been Pwned?” is run by the famous security specialist Troy Hunt. The program was created to help let people check whether they pwned or not by themselves. 

If you also want to check your details, go to the website, and type your email id (whichever is registered with Facebook) in the given field. Click the button Pwned? And the system shows you are actually exposed or not? Here, the entire breached list is filtered by the user’s email id. 

Luckily, if you are not exposed, then you will see the green signal. Except you will see the red signal. 

In both cases, they advise all website visitors to secure their accounts and show the three methods for that.

Moreover, to update the service, the owner tweeted on his account that he will improve it as a user can also search whether they are exposed or not by entering their mobile number.

Realme GT Neo: The Gaming Beast

The announcement of the Realme GT already had customers amped up with the promise of a next-generation gaming phone. However, the announcement of Realme GT Neo is probably the icing on the top. With a new IMEI number being spotted in the Indian IMEI database, it is just a matter of time before Realme announces the Realme GT Neo for release in India.

Why The Excitement?

Realme’s recent announcement featured the launch of the first flagship Realme GT. The Realme GT Neo will be the second flagship phone and promises a top-end set of equipment.

Though many rumours are surrounding Realme GT Neo there is one thing we know for sure, that is, this phone will combine the best gaming experience with the best camera quality. Realme had announced that will primarily focus on camera quality so it is obvious that the Realme GT Neo will come with a cutting-edge camera setup.

Realme GT Neo Power & Looks

It is rumoured to come with a triple camera setup and not much is known about the sensors though it may probably use the latest sensors choosing between the Samsung 108 MP ISOCELL HM3 or the Sony IMX686

Much like the camera setup, the looks on the Realme GT Neo are mysterious too and maybe similar to its sibling the Realme GT but we still have a few features that seem logically correct. The Realme GT Neo will be Realme’s first phone with curved edges. 

It is expected to come with a 6.55-inch AMOLED display with a punch-hole cutout on the top left corner for a selfie snapper and a 120 Hz refresh to provide a lag-free experience. The Realme GT Neo is well set to become one of Realme’s most elegant phones.

GT NEO Specification

The Realme GT Neo will have a processor that will blow you away. The talk of the town is the processor that the Realme GT Neo will pack under its hood.

Freshly out of the production houses, MediaTek’s latest innovation, the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 processor an octa-core processor with a top speed of 3 GHz, this processor will offer you the smoothest experience you can find. 

The Realme GT Neo will be one of the first phones to use this processor and this is arguably the best feature in the Realme GT Neo.

What More Does It Offer?

The Realme GT Neo comes in two variants probably with 6 GB RAM or 8 GB RAM. The Realme UI 2.0 built on top of Android 11 will power it. The only letdown in the Realme GT Neo is a smaller 4400 mAh battery that many would have expected to be a little heavier. The phone will support fast charging. However, it hasn’t been confirmed whether it will be 30W fast charging or 65W fast charging.

With many rumours surrounding the Realme GT Neo and also the possibility that the new mysterious IMEI added to the Indian IMEI database may not at all be the Realme GT Neo, the only relief is the pain-staking wait won’t last for long and soon we might have the Realme GT Neo up for grabs at our fingertips.
