Awesome protection feature for Google drive ios app. —Sunilkumar Choudari


GoogleDrive for iPhone and iPad, that has added a new Privacy Screen feature that lets users enable Face ID or passcode authentication whenever the app is opened on their device, irrespective of the system's global security settings.




Similar features have been added to other third-party iOS apps containing particularly sensitive content, like password managers for instance. The idea is that even if you leave your device unlocked, anyone who tries to launch the Google Drive app still has to get past Face ID or Touch ID to gain access to your storage cloud-based files.




Google Drive includes options to activate Privacy Screen immediately whenever the app is opened or returned to upon switching to another app, or to delay the request for 10, seconds, one minute, or 10 minutes, depending on your threat model.




You can enable the feature in the app by tapping the hamburger icon in the top left corner of the screen and selecting Privacy Screen. Toggle the switch and the Delay options are revealed

Why fear about Whatsapp privacy policy.?

Many YouTubers have created insane fears that "WhatsApp will not work, do not use WhatsApp" to increase views. This is to give a little courage to those who are afraid to look at them. WhatsApp's new privacy policy states that "your phone number, details of payments you make through WhatsApp Payments, your IP address at the time of the transaction, and your device model will be collected and shared with third-party Facebook hosted services as needed." In fact Facebook is not selling that information to unknown third party companies. Everyone knows that WhatsApp business. This allows restaurants, shopping malls, and small business owners to provide catalog details of items available to customers through WhatsApp, and then withdraw money from us through WhatsApp Payments and deliver the items to us. WhatsApp is making such a complete system available. Actually this is going to happen ... Suppose you went to a shopping mall. While shopping and billing t...

Facebook wants to stop people from abusing its system, so it's creating a world of bots that can mimic them. To test the platform, the company's researchers released a paper on "Web Enabled Simulation" (WES) - basically a shadow Facebook where users who don't have a human eye want to share, or friend (or harass, abuse and scam). Facebook describes building a scaled-down, wall-off simulation of its platform, with fake users modeling different types of real behavior. For example, a "scammer" bot can be trained to connect with "target" bots that display similar behaviors to real-life Facebook scam victims. Other bots may be trained to attack fake users' privacy or search for "bad" content that violates Facebook rules. It helps to detect Facebook bugs. Researchers can build WES users, whose sole purpose is to steal information from other bots, and keep them loose in the system. If they suddenly find ways to access mor...

Google play To be bring a new section for kids, 'Teacher approved apps".

Image
Google is launching a new Kids section for the Google Play Store, which will offer a selection of so-called “ Teacher Approved ” apps. The search giant says these are apps that meet its quality standards and are highly rated by teachers. Each approved app includes a list of reasons why teachers like it, including age-appropriateness, and what it’s trying to teach children. According to Google, it had originally planned to launch the new section later this year, but it brought the launch forward since so many children are now spending so much of their time at home in front of screens. The reason for this is, of course, the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced schools to temporarily close around the world, shifting much of the responsibility onto parents. Google says that this early launch means that the section will launch with some apps missing but that it’s working to review more “as quickly as possible.” The new Kids section is rolling out over the next few days in t...
