iPhone heart rate tracker coming courtesy Google Fit! No Internet required; here is how to - Hindustan Times

Just by using its camera, Google Fit will enable iPhone heart rate tracker to function. iPhone breathing rate tracker is there too.

More good news for iPhone users. It has been reported that just by using the iPhone camera, Google Fit will help users to track and measure their heart rate and more. Users will just have to place their finger on the rear camera lens and apply light pressure to measure their heart rate. Notably, users do not need an active internet connection to use this feature. So, when can we expect these features? Well, iPhone heart rate tracker and breathing rate tracker will be coming soon. 

So, how to check your heart rate on an iPhone? 

Well, Google Fit heart rate tracker was first introduced to the Pixel phones. And now the iOS users will also be able access this feature. Users will have to place their finger on the iPhone camera and turn on the flash to allow the Google Fit app to measure their heart rate. Turning on the flash would reportedly measure more accurately.

The app would take nearly 30 seconds to measure your heart rate when you place your finger on the rear camera, hence, keep your finger there for a bit longer than that. Once removed, you will be able to see the preview graph and BPM on the screen. You can either do away with the details or save them for future references.

Additionally, Google Fit for iOS has also received another update that will allow users to keep track of the number of breaths. Through the Google Fit breathing rate tracker, users will be required to face the front camera of their iPhone. One must keep their phone on a stable surface so that their head and upper torso is visible and unobstructed. Once done, the app will guide you about the steps to follow next. Upon revealing your head and upper torso, the app calculates your respiratory rate from subtle chest movements.

Google has earlier introduced the features for Android users only. Later on, the health and respiratory features were rolled out to the Pixel phones and now it will be available for iOS users as well. However, Google Fit is yet to update its app page on Apple’s App Store and hence the users will have to wait for some more time.

Though these features will help users to track their heart and breathing rate but one must note that it cannot be used for purpose of medical diagnosis.

Apple May Ditch SIM Card Slot Next on iPhones After Removing Headphone Jack - News18

Another report recently claimed that iPhone 15 would reportedly have a periscope-shaped lens that already appears on select flagship Android phones.

Apple will reportedly ditch the SIM card slot on iPhones in 2023. According to a Brazilian blog BlogDoiPhone, the iPhone 15 Pro (or another version of iPhone) will drop the SIM card slot and bring support for dual e-SIMs. Apple has been allowing e-SIMs support in some models for a while, but the new detail adds fuel to old speculation of Apple‘s ‘port-less’ phone vision. The company was heavily criticised in 2016 for removing the headphone jack that didn’t feature in any of the flagship iPhones. The 3.5mm audio jack does not feature in the 2020 version of the iPhone SE. However, many companies now ditch the audio port from their smartphones to push the sales of their TWS earbuds.

The report does not specify anything about the regular iPhone 15; however, it cautions to take this as a rumour. Since there’s still time for 2023, Apple may also decide to make changes and test other designs. Interestingly, another report recently claimed that iPhone 15 would reportedly have a periscope-shaped lens that already appears on select flagship Android phones. It will aim to offer an increased optical zoom while maintaining a compact design appropriate for smartphones.

Similarly, other leaks are already pointing out developments on iPhone 14 series that may launch in September 2022. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently speculated that iPhone 14 Pro models might get a 48-megapixel camera alongside 12-megapixel snappers. The primary camera will reportedly record 8K video recording, up from 4K recording in the current models. The 8K video recording is also said to help users view content on Apple’s rumoured AR/VR headset - expected launch in 2022. Naturally, this feature could be limited to high-storage models as 8K videos will take up too much storage. As always, Apple is yet to confirm these developments, and readers must take information with a pinch of salt.

New Motorola Razr in the works, will use advanced foldable screen - India Today

With foldable smartphones becoming a thing, Motorola is now working on a new foldable Razr phone. Motorola was one of the first companies to introduce foldable phones to the market. The Lenovo-owned company had launched the original Razr in 2019, followed by a 5G version of the device in 2020. Now, with so many companies jumping into the foldable market space, Motorola is also gearing up to launch a successor to the Razr 2020.

A Lenovo executive had posted on Weibo about the upcoming Razr phone. He revealed that the new Razr will be more powerful and advanced. The phones will be launched with many upgrades over the previous Razr. It will house powerful interiors and will come with an improved UI. The design is expected to be futuristic too.

Motorola is expected to first launch the foldable device in the Chinese market. But considering both its predecessors were made official in the global markets, we can expect the new Razr to hit the Indian market as well as other important markets.

Currently, we have the Moto Razr 5G and the Moto Razr 2019 available in the market. Moto Razr 5G is available in India for Rs 89,999 for the 8GB+256GB variant.

The Razr 5G is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor coupled with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB built-in storage, which can be expandable using a microSD card.

Motorola Razr 5G features a 48-megapixel quad pixel camera on the rear. For selfies, there is a 20-megapixel camera with an F2.2 aperture. However, the 48-megapixel shooter can be used as a rear camera when the phone is unfolded, and it can be used as a front camera when the phone is unfolded.

A 2800mAh battery with support for 15W TurboPower Charger is placed under the Razr 5G hood. The smartphone runs on Android 10 out of the box but it can be upgraded to Android 11. When folded the Moto Razr 5G measures at 72.6 x 91.7 x 16 whereas when you unfold the smartphone, it measures at 72.6 x 169.2 x 7.9. The smartphone weighs at 192g.

BGMI gamers alert! Krafton will now ban devices of users cheating in game - Zee News

New Delhi: Krafton has revealed that the developer will start banning devices used by gamers cheating in one of its popular battle royale games in India - Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI). The developer has clearly stated in its new policy that gamers using software to cheat in BGMI will ban their devices permanently. 

Previously, Krafton used to sanction the offending accounts, instead of banning them permanently. The Korean-based developer made the new policy official via a blog post on BGMI’s website. 

“If the use of illegal programs is detected with a mobile device by the newly applied security logic, the device will be permanently banned from using BGMI,” Krafton had announced on its website.

Krafton also pointed that previously the gaming developer only banned the accounts of the gamers found cheating. However, from now on, BGMI will now ban the devices of such users. 

“Up until now sanctions were given only to the accounts, but now the mobile devices will be banned as well, making fair gameplay far more effective,” Krafton said on its official website. 

Moreover, the Korean company also revealed that so far, approximately one lakh BGMI accounts have been banned permanently for cheating in a six-day time frame. With the new policy, the gaming developer must be expecting that the number of cheating cases will come down. 

The updated policy on cheating users will indeed make it difficult for gamers, using illegal methods to win in the game, to make a comeback after their device gets banned. They will now need to buy a new device and make a new account to play BGMI again by bypassing the new rules. But that will be more difficult and will cost gamers more money. Also Read: PM Kisan 10th instalment: THESE farmers could get Rs 4000 on Jan 1, check if you’re eligible

While Krafton hasn’t revealed how it will enforce the new policy, it’s expected that the gaming developer will either use the device ID or the IP address of the device to enforce the ban. Also Read: Russian court fines Google and Meta Platforms millions of dollars
