WhatsApp proposes a quicker method for transferring conversations between devices

 The new approach does not use Google Drive backup and restore anymore.

A new feature that lets you transport your WhatsApp conversations across devices without storing them in the cloud has been introduced by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

You may now scan a QR code on one phone to start a straight transfer to another running the same OS as opposed to backing up and restoring your conversations via Google Drive. In essence, this implies that users will be able to transfer chats with this upgrade without the data ever leaving the two smartphones – or even leaving WhatsApp.

According to Meta, this approach is not only faster when it comes to the transfer of massive media but also more private than cloud services. The new technique ensures that nothing is lost in the move by covering both conversations and media history. Data is completely encrypted throughout the procedure.

How to utilise the new direct conversation transfer feature in WhatsApp

1. Before anything else, ensure sure both of your devices are present, linked to Wi-Fi, and location-enabled.

2. Next, scan the QR code on your previous phone by going to Settings > Chats > Chat transfer.

3. The transfer will start immediately.

There may be another planet lurking at the fringe of our solar system, according to scientists.

According to research, there may be a ninth planet in our solar system after all, but it may be hidden at the farthest regions of the Sun's influence.

There are eight planets in our solar system. Pluto is no longer considered to be a planet, therefore it used to be nine. A pre-print research piece that has not yet undergone peer review, however, puts up the theory that the Sun has "trapped" another planet that may be lurking in the "Oort cloud," far, far away.

According to NASA, the solar system's furthest region is the Oort Cloud. It is thought to be home to billions or trillions of ice space objects, some of which may be as huge as mountains. The Kuiper belt, which currently spans about 50 astronomical units, is estimated to be far closer than this object. The separation between the stars is one astronomical unit.

An multinational team of scientists discovers a possibility that our solar system could have a planet that is hidden away at its farthest corner in a recent pre-print (yet to be peer-reviewed) study. However, how does that operate?

How the camera on Apple's iPhone has changed over the past 16 years

Since the release of the first iPhone in 2007 up until the iPhone 14 Pro Max, Apple has dominated the smartphone camera market.

Millions of people all around the world rely only on their smartphones as their only camera. This has made the iPhone the most widely used consumer camera over the years due to its dominance in the market. The iPhone is adaptable, small enough to put in the pocket, and takes high-quality films that used to need an expensive camera. These days, they are also equipped with "computational photography" capabilities, enabling the iPhone to capture beautiful images, particularly in low light. We examine the advancement of iPhone cameras over time as Cupertino prepares to introduce the new iPhone 15 series later this year.

2G iPhone (2007)

When Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone live in 2007, it revolutionised the smartphone industry and simplified how a contemporary phone camera should be designed. Before the iPhone, taking pictures was a pastime. The iPhone and Apple were responsible for putting cameras in everyone's pockets. The 2-megapixel camera on the iPhone was rudimentary and lacked an integrated flash, zoom, or editing function. Perhaps a lot of you scoff at the photos taken with the first iPhone, yet that one gadget gave millions of people access to photography.

With Zoom's Intelligent Director function, there is no longer any need to remain in the background.

Zoom's Intelligent Director function will make sure you are heard and seen from wherever you are sitting or standing. Find out here how this functionality functions.

Video conferencing applications that were successful during the epidemic are looking to adapt as the business world transitions to hybrid and in-office work patterns. The Intelligent Director feature from Zoom enables everyone in a conference room to be seen up close and personal, regardless of their position or visibility.

The function, which is made for medium- to large-sized rooms, ensures that everyone in a meeting has an equal chance to be heard and seen. Each participant's face is the main focus of the programme, which tracks them intelligently as they move and determines their optimal perspective so that they always appear on the screen.

"Clarity and transparency may suffer as a result of the conventional conference room experience. If someone isn't in the office, they can get left out or get lost in the back of the room. We need to create ways to convey knowledge in real-time, no matter where people are, because meaningful interactions cannot be mutually exclusive with a physical place, according to Zoom.
