Google Drive gained a new privacy feature for its iPhone and iPad users dubbed Privacy Screen which gives an extra layer of protection with Touch ID or Face ID authentication when launching the app. You can have the new Privacy Screen feature appear at launch or delay it by 10 seconds, 1 minute or 10 minutes. The updated iPhone and iPad versions are already live on the App Store. The new feature is part of the latest 4.2020.18204 build which also brings stability improvements and bug fixes. Google warns you that some aspects like notifications are not completely protected by Privacy Screen. . . . . #techies_page_ios #techies_page_apple #techies_page_googledrive #techies_page_google #techies_page #techies #tech #technology #google #googledrive #drive #ios #apple #appstore #privacy #iphone #ipad #protection #touchid #faceid #feature #bug #australia #austria #hungary #iceland #usa #uk #canada #app https://www.instagram.com/p/B_1eCkqAeKC/?igshid=1p1ht3y34e0jp

iOS 13.5 beta is out with COVID-19 exposure notification API, easier unlocking when wearing a mask. Earlier this month Apple released the first public beta of the upcoming iOS 13.4.5, and today the company has made the third beta available for testing by people who enrolled their devices into the Apple Beta program. Here's the thing, though. It isn't called iOS 13.4.5 anymore, from this point on it shall be known as iOS 13.5. That's because this version includes a beta iteration of the new exposure notification API, which should aid health authorities track the spread of COVID-19. This means developers can now start writing apps that take advantage of this API. There's a user-facing toggle to it as well, which lets you opt in or out of participating in COVID-19 exposure notifications. Because of this new API being added, the new iOS beta is using a different SDK than iOS 13.4, which is why the switch from iOS 13.4.5 to iOS 13.5 became a must. Otherwise, this build includes easier unlocking of your iPhone with a passcode when you're wearing a mask. If the Face ID sensors detect that you're wearing a mask, then the passcode keyboard will instantly pop up, making getting into your handset that much faster. . . . . #techies_page_apple #techies_page_ios #techies_page #techies #tech #technology #ios #apple #covid19 #api #unlocking #unlock #mask #faceunlock #iphones #appleiphone #iphonese #iphone11 #iphone11pro #iphone11promax #iphonexr #iphonexs #iphonex #faceid #ios13 #ios13point5 #beta #usa #uk #australia https://www.instagram.com/p/B_mSU70A_Qt/?igshid=1r7u1n2q0tqvp

An iOS flaw has been discovered, which would allow hackers to crash and reset an iPhone or iPad and gain access to some of the stored data. The vulnerability is in the Mail app and is activated by sending a special email, even a blank one, which causes the device to crash. From there the hacker could gain access to the device's emails and even its entire data by using a kernel exploit. The flaw is zero-click on devices running iOS 13, which means that the user doesn't need to open the email in order to get hacked - it's received in the background and starts wreaking havoc. The flaw was discovered by San Francisco-based private security company ZecOps, during an investigation of a cyber attack against one of its clients. The client in question is a Fortune 500 North American company. ZecOps has apparently found evidence that the flaw was exploited before, once again targeting high-profile business users, although this hasn't been verified. Apple has acknowledged that the flaw exists and that it's working to fix it. A patch has apparently been included in the iOS 13.4.5 beta, which is yet to be released to all devices. . . . . #techies_page_apple #techies_page_ios #techies_page #techies #tech #technology #ios #flaw #hackers #hack #crash #reset #iphone #ipad #data #mail #blank #ios13 #ios13beta #sanfrancisco #private #security #zecops #investigation #cyberattack #clients #evidence #business #apple #fixit https://www.instagram.com/p/B_VWGNFANBf/?igshid=18w07cjdvay19

Apple is cooking up some new software for its mobile devices, as usual. The company has now released the first public betas for iOS 13.4.5 and iPadOS 13.4.5. This comes after developers got their second preview build of the upcoming OS version yesterday. iOS 13.4.5 and iPadOS 13.4.5 are both minor updates, as their naming scheme strongly implies. They're focused primarily on bug fixing, under the hood improvements, and small tweaks and changes. Additionally, there's a new feature in Apple Music, which lets you share songs on Instagram Stories. Tapping the Share button on a song creates a story with the song's title, album name, and an animated background too. It works as intended, except there's no way to get to Apple Music from the shared info on your Story. That's probably more Instagram's fault than Apple's, though, and this is a quick way to share what you're listening to. The new OS version also comes with a fix for an issue with Personal Hotspot that prevents it from working for some people, as well as a fix for a VPN-related vulnerability. You can grab the beta releases by going to the link in bio and enrolling your device - which basically means downloading a special certificate from Apple. After that, the beta builds will start arriving on your iPhone or iPad over-the-air. . . . . #techies_page_apple #techies_page_ios #techies_page_ipados #techies_page #techies #tech #technology #apple #ios #ios13 #ios13beta #ipados #ipados13beta #ipados13 #ipads #usa #unitedstates #uk #unitedkingdom #europe #russia #australia #canada #china #os #applemusic #instagram #bugfix #improvements #tweaks https://www.instagram.com/p/B_KA1hFAyCR/?igshid=upvw4y1f7g63
