iOS 8 will add a new feature allowing apps to pick up passwords and login credentials directly from Safari's AutoFill feature and iCloud Keychain. This will, in turn, make the business of logging into apps much more streamlined, allowing you to sign in with a simple tap.
It is largely reckoned that Apple will be rolling out two significantly larger iPhone 6 models later on this year - a 4.7-inch version and a more sizeable edition packing a 5.5-inch display. It has been mentioned on several occasions that the bigger iPhone 6 will cost $100 more, and a new analyst report has corroborated this notion while also adding that consumers are more than willing to bear the additional cost for the corresponding bump in display real estate.
The football World Cup is undeniably the biggest sporting event of this year, with thousands of fans descending on Brazil while hundreds of millions tune in at home, work, and just about anywhere with a connection or TV signal. But the football itself is just the tip of the iceberg - the spectacle, the carnival atmosphere, the fanfare - the World Cup well and truly takes over lives, and in the spirit of things, one app developer has thrown out its immensely popular football app for free!
Brazil and Croatia kicked off this summer's World Cup with what can only be described as a controversial 90 minutes of action, but with three matches scheduled for today and more to follow, football's most celebrated tournament is about to get into full swing. To mark the occasion, ESPN has teamed up with Google to provide official match highlights as search results, so if you miss anything, just Google it!
Facebook has today updated it's Facebook Messenger app, the app that saw the social network break its instant messaging feature out into a completely separate app on mobile.
We never miss out on a good deal on an app going free for iOS or Android. And today, we’ve stumbled across a brilliant productivity app for iOS, and a word puzzle game for Android, both of which have gone free for a very limited time, and you should waste no time in downloading them before the developers bring it back to their original prices!
iOS 8 beta is officially out in the wild, and as the tech world continues to dissect the new features, many have chosen to hold off and wait for the official, end user release. Given that beta software is, by its very nature, generally buggy - there's also that $99 annual fee for a Developer pass to contend with - and when you weigh up these caveats, it's easy to see why some have chosen to pass on the unfinished builds. But if you're holding off for purpose of preserving your jailbreak, you can actually enjoy an iOS 8-like experience thanks to the abundance of facilitating tweaks already available, and although it's not quite like the real thing, it's the next best thing for the time being.
Scarcely a year has gone by since the social network's inception that at least one privacy-motivated backlash hasn't beset Facebook, and given that the Menlo Park firm is now selling your search history to help advertisers better target you with specific products, you have to say that the adverse reaction in some quarters of the tech community is self imposed by Zuck and his firm this time around. But while this is almost entirely bad news for some concerned Facebook users, there is a silver lining in that you can opt out should you so wish, and here, we're going to show you how.
Updates to the Cydia app aren't especially frequent, but the substantial length of time between releases allows its developers to pile on the optimizations. Today's Cydia update - the first major bump since the Evad3rs team finally breached iOS 7 a few months back - packs the usual spate of bug fixes along with a shiny new icon in-keeping with the overall aesthetic of iOS 7, and you can grab the new release via your Cydia app right now.
Facebook has just rolled out version 11 of its official app for those in ownership of an iOS device, and version 10 for those on Android, and although the run-down of features isn't as noteworthy as the version number would suggest, it still packs its fair share of socially-inclined quirks. The original changelog only mentioned rudimentary bug fixes and performance enhancements, but in actual fact, there's a lot more to it than that. Check out the key details after the fold.
