Photos of a new Xbox controller have leaked online, showing off new features like a redesigned D-pad, textured triggers, and new share button. The packaging indicates compatibility with the previously-announced Xbox Series X and a new, unannounced Xbox Series S, which is widely believed to be the cheaper variant. The upcoming watchOS 7 update includes new watch faces, the ability to download custom layouts from the web and the biggest addition yet – sleep tracking. Apple added more fitness tracking features with watchOS 7, including metrics for dance workouts, functional strength training, core training, and cooldown activities. The Maps app is adding support for cycling directions, and Apple’s smartwatch will now automatically detect when you’re washing your hands and provide a 20-second timer. Google is testing “people cards”, a new user-created public profile system, which will let users create their own profile that will appear directly in Google search results. To set up a new people card, simply search the phrase “add me to search” while logged in to your Google account. From there, Google will bring you to a new page that lets you create the card. The only mandatory fields are name, occupation, location, and an “about” bio. Unfortunately, the new cards system is only being tested in India in English and will roll out in India this week. Hopefully, this gets a worldwide release soon! WhatsApp might be getting a new feature that will help users avoid the embarrassment of accidentally sending a message to the wrong group. There has been a new update to WhatsApp’s TestFlight beta showing new features, including one that will allow users to set custom backgrounds for each of their chats, so they can see straight away which group or individual contact they’re speaking to. Additionally, the new feature will also enable users to choose different backgrounds for different system themes, so you can have one custom design for use with light mode and another for dark mode.

Canon’s new full-frame mirrorless cameras were announced to great fanfare earlier in July, but with reviews and tests being done, it seems there are huge thermal performance issues with the two cameras. Granted, Canon themselves did mention that the cameras are limited by the thermals when shooting 8K or oversampled 4K videos, but tests from DPReview have actually shown that the cameras heat up from any sort of usage, even setting up still shots, thus cutting into the amount of time you’ll have for video recording. A user on the Canon Rumours website even mentioned that his R5 shut down after just taking still photos at a motocross event, without even shooting any video. Hopefully, Canon comes out with a solution, but for now, there have been interesting suggestions involving thermal pads and external fans! Samsung has announced a whole host of products at their August Unpacked, including the flagship Note20 and Note20 Ultra smartphones, the updated Galaxy Z Fold2, Galaxy Watch3, Tab S7 series and Galaxy Buds Live. This year’s signature colour is Mystic Bronze, and all the new products will be available in this beautiful copper colour in addition to the other standard colour offerings. With general availability starting on 21 August, you’ll want to check out our quick roundup of the specs and features before you make your decision on what to get. Whatsapp users will know that due to the fact that WhatsApp is linked to your phone number, it is only possible to use the app on one device at a time. This usually means using Whatsapp’s web or desktop version to chat is possible only if one activates Whatsapp with your phone. The option to run Whatsapp on more than one device might be available soon, with rumours the feature is currently undergoing development, and it might soon be possible to use the same WhatsApp account on up to four devices. Apple has removed 29,800 apps from its Chinese app store, including more than 26,000 games. Games affected by the sweep included titles from Zynga and Supercell. This takedown comes amid a crackdown on unlicensed games by Chinese authorities. Earlier this year, Apple gave game publishers an end-of-June deadline to submit a government-issued licence number enabling users to make in-app purchases. The approval process for games looking to enable in-app purchases is long and complicated, hurting all but the largest game developers. Snapchat’s new feature allows users to add music to the videos they record, making it the latest social app to take on TikTok by offering the ability to embed popular songs. The new feature is designed in such a way that when one swipes up on a video, the song’s title and artist will appear, plus a link to listen to the track on your streaming platform of choice. The feature is launching with “a robust and curated catalogue of music” from Warner Music Group, Universal Music Publishing Group, Merlin, and more. Snapchat announced that this new feature would first launch to English-language users, rolling out first in New Zealand and Australia. With President Donald Trump’s executive order to ban TikTok if it’s not owned by a US-based company by 15 September, Microsoft has publicly announced that they’re in talks with parent company ByteDance to acquire and operate TikTok in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. If the deal goes through, American users will most likely still be able to use the popular app in their home country. Otherwise, though, TikTok might have to say goodbye to their estimated 80 million monthly active users in the US. A recent Bosch Home Applications survey involving 2,000 Singaporeans finds that price is no longer the leading consideration when buying home appliances and most consumers are willing to spend more on those with effective hygiene functions. Hygiene and maintaining a clean home has become top priorities for Singaporeans amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, that caused a striking shift in priorities and mindsets when it comes to hygiene, health and safety. The survey shows that 86% of Singaporeans say they will be willing to spend more on home appliances with strong hygiene functions while 2 out of 3 Singaporeans are aware of how effective home appliances are in sterilising clothes and cookware in order to maintain a hygienic and clean environment.

Plenty of news this week with a 20 million user data leak, new Facebook emojis and more, so let’s get to it. Google will be launching a new section catered specifically for young minds – a Kids section on the Google Play Store. These apps are strictly made to make them appropriate for children, following high standard guidelines and approved by educators. The Kids section was originally scheduled to launch later on this year, however, with the COVID-19 pandemic ongoing, Google pushed up its launch as children are spending more time at home. The Kids section will be released first in the US before an international rollout in the next few months. Facebook has launched a new ‘care’ emoji reaction in hopes of encouraging users to show extra care and support for each other during the COVID-19 pandemic although they are apart. The new emoji reaction is an emoji face hugging a heart and it will be available next week on the Main App. Facebook Messenger will have a different version of this new initiative in the form of a pulsating heart reaction. Facebook has also released its Messenger App specially catered for young minds in Singapore. The app offers parental supervision to create a safe yet fun environment for children with kid-friendly GIFs, stickers and even drawing tools. The app is available on Apple App Store and will be released on Google Play Store by the end of the week. If you like, comment or share a hoax about COVID19, Facebook will automatically direct you to the World Health Organization’s Myth Busters Page created to debunk common coronavirus myths. The initiative is aimed to direct users that have encountered inaccurate information about the virus to seek the truth from certified sources in case they see or hear these claims off Facebook. The new feature is definitely a significant step forward to stem the spread of misinformation related to COVID19, and will be available in the upcoming weeks. A hacker has leaked 20 million user credentials of a third-party Android app store called Aptoide. The leak includes users email, passwords, names, dates of birth and more. Aptoide has since announced that it will suspend all sign-ups on the app store and advised all users to change their passwords. Installing third-party apps that are not downloaded directly from Google Playstore increases risks of exposure to malicious software, so do take extra precautions. Netflix is one of the few companies thriving in the global pandemic, with 15.8 million new subscribers in the first quarter alone. Netflix’s spike in subscribers started around mid-March, with more people forced to stay at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Netflix worries that the sudden increase might lead to a pull-forward effect that results in slower growth after the pandemic dies down and people are no longer required to stay at home. On the other hand, Netflix is positive about the new content they are releasing despite the global production halt. As long as Netflix keeps audiences engaged amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and they can continue releasing content, the company’s future certainly looks positive.
