Major Updates For WhatsApp , Facebook and Instagram.Details Inside


If you are a frequent user of social media you are most definitely on one or all of the mentioned social media platforms. Facebook Inc, the mother company of Instagram and WhatsApp is working hard to ensure its users get the best experience from their platforms by providing some updates that will take effect sometime later. Facebook has now scrapped off the message that prompted its users when they joined your list. Facebook will now use artificial intelligence to see which users hate the alerts. This will be made possible through machine learning.
Instagram, on the other hand, is planning to offer its users the chance to get verified on Twitter. For those not familiar with this, it is the blue tick that you see on major brand accounts on social media and major celebrity's accounts. Twitter also has been cleaning its house by getting rid of fake accounts on their platform. This has caused an uproar in some areas of the world like Kenya where major trendsetters lost most of their followers including the President of Kenya.
Whats App is also a company owned by Facebook and is planning to roll out a new feature that will allow users to identify forwarded messages. This effort was launched in a bid to try and control fake news which has become a menace on Facebook and the internet at large.
Facebook Messenger is also receiving an update that will automatically allow you to chat with people using a foreign language with the conversations instantly translated for you to ease communication between two people who do not speak the same language.

Samsung Builds The Largest Smartphone Factory In India



Samsung has made a major move this year by finally opening the largest smartphone factory in Noida, India. This is especially a very lucrative deal for India since the country has been looking to attract more investors. This initiative has been a major concern for the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi who has been working effortlessly to lure investors to India.

In attendance of the big unveiling was also the President of South Korea President Moon Jae-in. The new plant is supposed to see the doubling of Samsung’s Noida facility’s capacity from 68 million units annually to an estimated 120 million units in a year. The expansion has been in stages with the final touches expected to end in 2020. President Moon Jae-in plans to tap into the 425 million smartphone users in India and a population of 1.3 billion people.



According to International Data Corporation, India’s market grew by 14 per cent in 2017 with an astounding total shipment of 124 Million units that year alone. This is a great opportunity for other smartphone manufacturers like Apple, VIVO, Huawei, Oppo and Xiaomi Corp planning to build three factories in India to meet this ever-growing demand for mobile phones in India. This will increase their market shares over the coming years as it is cheaper to manufacture in India than to import electronic goods in India. This is due to high taxes by the Indian government.

                                                                    
 On the bright side, the many plants will help to improve the lives of the Indian people by providing job opportunities and the myriad of other capabilities that smartphones have gained over the past few years especially in the mobile banking industry. India is on the verge of becoming a global mobile phone export hub. Earlier this year Xiaomi ousted Samsung from the leading smartphone provider in India since the Xiaomi models are cheaper compared to the high-end devices manufactured by Apple and Samsung. The new Noida Plant is focused on providing from low-end mobile handsets to their latest high-end flagship devices since most Indians favor low-end smartphones.

What is Google's ARCore? Details Inside: How Google Measure App Is Using ArCore

Google

Google's AR core is a platform that is used by Android applications' developers to create wonderful interactive augmented reality experiences captured by the mobile phone's camera in real-time. The AR core allows your mobile device to sense its immediate environment and interact with the information found in that environment. This is made possible through the various Application Programming Interfaces used to develop the groundbreaking app.
Google's Measure App uses the AR core to sense objects in its environment and interact with the objects via the phone camera. The app allows the user to take measurements without the use of a physical tape measure. It most definitely will not replace your tape measure but it is convenient for measuring surface distances.
The implementation of this technology is largely dependent on motion tracking technology used by mobile phones to understand their positions in an environment. Environmental understanding is used by the Android operating system to allow the mobile device to understand the objects in its environment just by detecting the sizes and locations of surfaces either vertical, horizontal or angled and lastly, it uses the mobile phones ability to sense appropriate lighting for an environment.
AR Core works by tracking the position of the device in real time as it moves from one locality to another. This helps the phone to understand its environment better.
Google's ARCore is designed to run on Android phones running on Android(Nougat) N and later.
AR stands for Augmented Reality for those wondering what AR stands for and is similar to Apple's ARKIT.
The augmented reality field has various applications in the real world. Archaeologists are currently using Augmented reality to rebuild ancient ruins and to study the ancient civilization lifestyles.AR is also being used by Architects to visualize buildings before they are actually built.The same can be done for mega structures and bridges.It can also give potential clients a taste of how their house will look like after it is completed.
