Many of us have those kinds of relatives who are extremely dedicated to sharing and forwarding an endless stream of Good Mornings, Good Evenings, and others in WhatsApp groups. And while it is incredibly annoying, simply leaving the WhatsApp group would make for an awkward confrontation. Fortunately, WhatsApp has your back, and now it has brough forth a solution to this problem. The Meta-owned messaging platform has announced several new privacy features intended to give users more control over their WhatsApp experience and tools to preserve their privacy. Among these features is a way to exit a WhatsApp group silently without alerting the numerous other members of the group. “New privacy features coming to WhatsApp: exit group chats without notifying everyone, control who can see when you’re online, and prevent screenshots on view once messages. We’ll keep building new ways to protect your messages and keep them as private and secure as face-to-face conversations,” said Mark Zuckerber

  By: Asekun Fatai Just because your phone is broken doesn't mean your data's out of reach. Man, I had one hell of a streak. All these years — approximately 7,967 since I first started using and writing about Android — and somehow, rather miraculously, I’d never outright broken a phone. Impressive I know. But don't let yourself get wrapped in awe yet, my fellow drop-dreading denizen: My streak of impeccable Android phone protection has officially come to a crashing halt. Now, I didn’t technically  drop  my phone, mind you. And I didn’t technically break it myself, either. But it was definitely broken. And it happened on my watch. While the experience isn't one I'd recommend to anyone, it provided a powerful reminder that even the most obsessively cautious Android-appreciating animals among us are bound to slip up and run into an unfortunate situation like this sooner or later. (For some Android phone owners — hi, honey! — these sorts of butter-fingered mishaps seem

  Airtel earlier re-appointed Gopal Vittal as the managing director and CEO with effect from February 2018 for a period of 5 years. By fabelt | Updated: 13 August 2022  Over 97 percent of total votes polled were in favour of the resolution Bharti Airtel's shareholders have approved the re-appointment of Gopal Vittal as managing director of the company for a period of five years with effect from February 1, 2023. Over 97 percent of total votes polled were in favour of the resolution, and the same "has been passed with requisite majority",  Airtel  said in a regulatory filing on the outcome of its Annual General Meeting (AGM). The shareholders also approved a special resolution related to payment of remuneration to Vittal as managing director and CEO of the company, with 89.57 percent votes in favour and 10.42 percent against the proposal. "Therefore the above resolution has been passed with requisite majority," the filing said. The AGM of the company was held on

The mobile defender is known for going above and beyond for his squad, but this might be overkill. Every Apex Legends season is distinct in its own way, but the game's seasons always bring new content to the game in the form of battle passes, new legends, and map changes. However, new bugs often sneak in with major seasonal updates as well as new content. Most bugs are incredibly frustrating, but every once in a while, one appears that gives players an advantage (and a good deal of amusement), as is the case with a new bug that allows Newcastle players to go flying down hillsides at record speed while reviving a downed squadmate. The bug--which, as one Redditor aptly noted, effectively turns the mobile defender into a full-blown ambulance--is the result of one of the recent buffs Newcastle received in the Season 14 update. The buff in question increased the speed at which Newcastle drags a downed teammate while utilizing his passive ability, Retrieve The Wounded. While the game'

Google Assistant can do some really useful stuff with location, if you know what to ask. I don't know if you've noticed, but our favorite virtual helper is losing some of its location-sensing smarts. Yes, oh yes: For reasons unknown, Google's in the midst of quietly pulling back Assistant's ability to handle reminders based on your physical location — y'know, the "remind me to do something when I get to this place" sorts of commands that have long been possible on Android. It's part of a broader  confusion campaign   realignment   of Google features  that seems to be placing more emphasis on the company's Tasks service and its integration with other Google apps. Blah, blah, blah — yadda, yadda, yadda. We can yammer on all day about the silliness of this shift and the comedic gold of Google's never-ending flip-flop habit. And let's be honest: We almost certainly will, one of these days. But not today, gersh dern it. Today, I want to turn our
