Well, Samsung Email is definitely one popular app. Even though it works only on devices with Android 7.0 or higher, and most of these devices already have it pre-installed, Samsung Email has still managed to get downloaded one hundred million times since its release in January 2017. Part of the reason for such a high number is probably the fact that the app is updated not via an OTA but through the Play Store. Another reason is the fact that Samsung Email supports IMAP, POP3 and Exchange ActiveSync, which means that it can contain all of your e-mails.Want to check it out? You can download ...

Pokemon Go will now sport real-life weather conditions
Niantic, creators of Pokemon Go, are continuing their unending effort of upgrading their game. New pocket monsters and game modes are well and good, but Niantic obviously feel the need to add something more to their augmented reality, namely dynamic weather conditions. The idea is that the in-game weather will change to that of a real world, naturally separate for every gamer’s region. If there is a mean blizzard outside your window, the world of Pokemon Go will be covered in snow; if it is raining, drops of virtual rain will dot the screen. Weather conditions are also supposed to ...

Bixby is learning Spanish
For an assistant, Bixby has a rocky relationship with languages. Right after release it could only communicate in English and Korean; it took time for it to learn Chinese. Bixby Voice was delayed due to its AI having problems with English grammar and syntax. Thankfully, it now seems that Samsung’s assistant is widening its horizonts with a fourth language, Spanish. Where does this news come from? It is not really official, as Samsung has made no statement about it getting a fourth language. It is just that, for some people, Spanish has appeared in the Bixby language settings menu. We ...

Apple’s statistics show that 59% of its devices now operate under the newest version of the iOS.

There are still lots of people who are using Android 6.0 or even older. When it comes to iOS, though, updating your system is much less of a personal choice and more of a ”Do or GTFO” type of thing. More people would upgrade to iOS 11 already were it not for the plethora of ...
Tizi, new Android virus that used to steal data from popular messenger apps
As is often the case with Android viruses, Tizi spread by infecting popular Google store apps. If you wonder why the past tense, it is because the virus has already been contained, or so does Android claim. Tizi’s immoral activities concentrated on infecting the more popular messenger apps like Facebook and Twitter and scanning them for any personal data available. That is not all it did, though; it could also scan our calendar and GPS, as well as record our voice chats! Versatile little basterd…Android believes that Tizi was using vulnerabilities in older, pre 7.0 Nougat, ...
