How to make best use of IOS 8

It’s been 4 months that Apple launched IOS 8 and recently few days back latest update of IOS 8 was IOS 8.1.3 which has some minor fixes and little additional features for the users. You might be using IOS 8 but this below information would help you to make the most excellent use of IOS 8. So, how to make most of IOS 8

BE FAMALIAR WITH YOUR BATTERY

In IOS 8 user can see what percentage of battery is being used by which app. The amount of battery depends on which app you largely use it. Previously it was just showing percentage but now it shows accurate percentage along with the app. 

In my case Facebook and Whatsapp are on top as being addicted to social media. If you find any apps which is shown you can double tap on the home button and close the apps.

Where is it?

Settings è General è Usage è you would see option Button usage.  Tap on it so you would see list of apps under it. 

HANDS-FREE SIRI:

Hold down home button so that Apple’s built-in voice assistant, Siri would be at your service.

Where is it?

Settings è General è Siri è Tap to ON it. Now you can say “Hey Siri” and can ask your questions. So you can do is set your reminder or alarm or search anything on internet. If you are driving you can use this service to make a call.

What can you do more with SIRI?

CATCH THE PLAYED SONG

It has integrated with music-reorganization popular service such as Shazam. It can listen to the playing music and identify which song is being played. To find out the name of the current song played as Siri “What’s Playing”? Siri would listen to music for a while and it would give the name of the song in result along with artist and also a link from iTunes.

ARE YOU SHOPPOHOLIC?

Then Safari has reduced one step while shopping. If you are shopping from safari browser, while you are on payment screen and when it comes to entering credit card info you have option of scan credit card in the safari browser. Don’t worry as camera would not click the picture it would just scan credit card info along with expiration date. Only thing you need to enter is the security code.

DIFFERENT KEYBORAD

With the help of IOS 8 users can get a personalized and customized keyboard.  The in-built future of keyboard is ok as we all have many issues with the auto correct feature.  One of popular app(Which is not free) Swype allows user to type while dragging your finger across the keyboard.

Another app is Swiftkey this is app which helps you in changing look of keyboard form black and white to something trendy as per your personality.

STYLISH CAMERA

In IOS 8 there are advance features of camera also along with one vide feature of time-lapse. In camera feature it has now a self time of 3seconds and 10seconds so for the selfie lover you can make the best out of it. User can now also control the exposure of picture, tap on screen to focus there would be a yellow box along with a line, just move line up to increase the exposure down to decrease it.

Time-lapse video to get this swipe to last in camera app and on right side this is the end option. Keep your hand steady and record the video, when you play you would see the feature of this option.

My tip to get better time-lapse video is to keep your phone on a stable ground and use headphones to start and stop the recording of video.

You must be using IOS 8 since time it has launched but after going through this, I am sure you would make most of it.

Shout this to other Iphone user who use IOS 8 but unaware to make most of it.

Be techy be canny be update

Microsoft Lumia 520 Specs

Launched in February 2013, still it has kept users addicted to its features. Being compact and available with the latest updates Lumia 520 has still kept it's user engaged. Planing to go for Lumia, here is what you cannot miss from 520.

Lumia 520 from Nokia(now Microsoft) which is quite affordable for everyone as its Windows Phone EIGHT !!! Device is available for under 10 k during its launched, currently the market for this 520 is near to 8k. it is cheaper than Nokia Lumia 625. The back cover is easy to remove - you simply use your nails to peel it away in almost all possible angles. The cover itself feels reasonably sturdy, so I don't find it snapping even if you take it on and off a lot.

Impressive Features :

 Exclusive Digital Lense

1 GHz dual core processor

Touchscreen that even works with long fingernails or gloves.

Some Key Specification 

Camera: 

Primary camera with 5 Mega pixel giving you feature of auto focus also. It has 2592 X 1936 to give the best resolution on screen. 

Video:

Geo tagging feature and can record video at 720p at 30fps

Memory and OS;

As continuing with latest trend it also has micro sim, Internal memory of 8 GB and can be extended to 64 GB. For performance it has 512 MB RAM which works quite well with the high end apps and games. Currently it OS 8 and it can be upgraded to 8.1 in upcoming days. For the lightning fast performance and to capture the current market it has Dual-core 1GHz CPU  with Qualcomm MSM8227 as chipset.

Lumia 520 provide great deal as you can store 7 GB of data in Microsoft OneDrive. Talking about design, one can easily find  that its the best looking phone out there not only in its price. The sleek look with bright funky colors along rectangular design all these can easily make it a good looking phone and comfortable for hold.

Pocket friendly Smartphone!!

If you want a phone for your social needs, then  you don't need to look for any other phone. Windows Phones are the best in this category as they have Twitter,  Facebook ,skype integration, and a lot of IM apps to keep you connected wherever you wish.

For Music lovers,  It got a  nice music player. Nokia Music service by nokia completes all multimedia needs. No need of any other app because it allows free music download (free for first 3 months, then subscription can be extended by giving nominal charges), Mix radio plays random music of your interest and sound is very nice too.

Slight a drawback, Photography in this phone gives an average result but one thing you will find good in Camera is that, it has a capability to record 720p HD videos at 30fps yet no Front Camera for Selfie lovers who only uses front camera to capture.  Battery Life is not a problem unless you know how to use smartphone smartly. In this range you will not get any phone with long battery life except this phone.

One consideration is that, its app ecosystem is less compared to android and ios. Well who uses more than 100 apps? so of course A big yes to this device. This phone is best fit for people who want fast operating system keeping budget in Mind.

so, Yes this Device can fit in a Budget.

Its time to Tweet in group and Shoot out videos

After whatsapp it’s twitter time to tweet on expanding features in its app. You can send group message and 30 second video with this new updated feature. With these new features tweeters would be more active in tweeting out their videos and send group tweets frequently.  Engineers have focused to make it easy for the people to shoot and share video.  

What exactly are those new features? How to use them?

1. Group chat
2. Shoot share 30 second video

Group Chat

It does not matter whether you follow people or not but yes you would be updated when you are being added into a group. It would allow multiple users to chat privately in a chat room. Number of users as now is limited upto 20 only, well we can expect it be increased in upcoming update.

Shoot and Share 30 second video

We can say you have 30 seconds to fame, this feature is most important in order to broadcast any news or any incident. Mainly this would be a additional advantage to journalist and advertisers to advertise their brands in less cost to a mass all over world.

Question arise that what about Vine(a video sharing app)?

It is twitter owned video service that allows user to record a six second clip. Twitter’s Jinen Kamdar added words over justifying the use of both things. Vine was purely for entertainment purpose while twitter feature is stronger and healthy as compared to that of vine.

Soon this feature would be rolled out into market and you can shoot out videos and share group messages.

Group Tweet, shoot and Share. New things to be tweeted on twitter.
