Instagram's camera is suspected to have been hijacked due to a bug

 Users have complained of unnatural activity on the Instagram app in the beta mode of iOS 14. Even while scrolling through the feed without taking photos and videos, there are complaints that the green indicator of the camera is visible on Instagram.

A spokesman for Instagram said the situation was caused by a bug and that the company had fixed it. Access to the camera can be obtained from Instagram's Create Mode feature. When you get access like this, the camera indicator turns on. That is why the problem may have arisen.

Such an error can be seen by running the app's camera by swiping from the feed. ‘We only have access to your camera if you allow it. For example, when you swipe from feed to camera, we get access.

Due to the bug in the iOS 14 beta, the user was afraid that his camera would be hijacked even if he did not use it. We've repaired it now, "he said." We haven't used your camera and we haven't recorded any content. "

The 'Read Letter' feature is coming to the desktop version of the Chrome browser

Popular web browser Chrome is targeting desktop users to save any content and is preparing to bring a read letter feature at their convenience. Chrome is about to add a new menu on the desktop so that you can save any tab and read it later.

According to a report released by the bug tracker 'Chromium Gerrit', this feature can be used on Chrome operating system as well as Mac OS, Windows and Linux operating systems. The feature, which was unveiled to iOS users three years ago, is still in its infancy, Gerrit said.

It is said that there will be no change in the user interface of this feature which is being tested. If you are wondering when to use this type of feature on Android, there is good news for you. You can even use this download feature to recreate functionality.

Click the three dot menu at the top right of Chrome and click the download icon in it. To view saved pages, go to your Downloads section and view the saved websites.

Theoretically you can also go to the download route to save the page on the desktop but it downloads the website as an HTML file. So this is not a suitable solution for Android.

Changing iPhone? Before that, take care of these things.

Changing iPhone? Before that, take care of these things

Until a decade ago, losing data inside a phone was not a big deal. But now even the most sensitive information in daily life is in your phone.

So now that you lose any data inside your phone, personal information is also public. For the same reason, many people are afraid to change their phone. Is the data on the old phone lost when the phone is switched on? Will chats be deleted? Many are afraid of that.

If you want to upgrade to a new iPhone, you can do so without losing any data. There's a way you can safely move your photos, contact numbers, videos, message history, music, calendars, email accounts, and other apps from the old device to the new one.

Select iPhone from the list of devices. From there, select iCloud Backup. Now turn on with the help of Toggle and click on Backup Now.

Then let your phone be backed up for a while with a WiFi connection. Making your iPhone automatically backed up on a daily basis is even more beneficial.

But remember, no more than five GB of data can be stored for free in the cloud. To backup iPhone from Mac computer, connect your phone to MacBook or iMac and open Finder.

You can then see your device after the location on the left. There you will see all your saved data including music, podcasts, photos and files. But if you have saved your photos from iCloud, it will not be visible until you turn off the feature.

Now go to General tab and select Backup Now. Select the Encrypt Your Backup option to save health and activity. Otherwise it will not be saved. Data encryption is the default privacy feature of iCloud.

Connect your iPhone to a desktop or laptop via USB to backup iPhone from a computer with Windows 10 operating system. Click on the iPhone button at the top right. From there, summarize and go to the backup boat.

Encrypt your backup by clicking Encrypt Local Backup and set the password. Encryption also allows you to back up your health and activity data.

Click Edit Now to find your backup. Then go through preferences and devices.

2. Turn off the old phone

Once the phone is fully backed up, turn off the old phone. If you want to use the old SIM card, put it in the new phone.

3. Turn on the new device

Turn on the new phone. Then follow the on-screen commands. Follow the instructions on the screen to connect to the WiFi network.

4. Restore backup

After switching to WiFi, you can back up data like this:

Continue through the setup process until you reach the app and data screen to back up your iPhone or iPad. Once there, tap Restore from the iCloud Backup option. Sign in with your Apple ID.

There select the data you want to backup. Time is also kept in the backup data. If you are constantly backing up your phone, you can select the correct data by looking at the time and size there.

If the computer has your data, connect the phone to the computer. If you are using a Mac running Catalyst 10.15, open Finder and select the device.

If your Mac is using an older operating system or you have a personal computer, open iTunes. In Windows, select where the iPhone appears. Click Restore Backup on the General tab and select the correct date.

5. WiFi connection should be kept stable

Do not disconnect the WiFi connection until the backup is complete. If it is disconnected, the backup process will stop.

TikTok makers will now get money, the company is opening a fund of Rs 24 billion

TikTok makers will now get money, the company is opening a fund of Rs 24 billion

There is good news for ticket users. The popular Chinese video platform for short videos is now paying its users.

Tiktak, which was established in a short time, has announced such a feature especially targeting popular users and new users. In a statement on Thursday, the company said it was building a fund of about 24 billion rupees ( 200 million) for its new announcement.

This feature will help users who are looking for opportunities to progress through creative content. According to Tiktak, cash distribution from the fund will start by the end of this year.

In the past, ticket users could only earn money through live and brand partnerships. Tiktak's new announcement is expected to continue to attract users as it forms the basis for revenue.

According to Tiktak's criteria, such amount will be used only for original content above 18 years of age and self-created. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.

Although it is not clear how the ticket users will get the amount, a spokesperson of the company said that the amount of the fund will continue to increase and make it competitive in the market. The most popular ticket in the world has been getting into trouble lately.

India has imposed a ban on tickets due to a border dispute between China and India, and there is a possibility of a ban due to the growing distance with the United States.

To reduce this potential, TICT has recently unveiled a new plan to create 10,000 jobs in the United States. Tickets are equally popular among Nepali users.
