Customer satisfaction is very important when it comes to mobile apps and according to a recent study by DotNek, this satisfaction has fallen in recent years. There are some apps that are loved by customers and some that are absolutely hated. Many factors contribute to these feelings like user interface and frequency and number of ads. Experts at Electronics Hub decided to study how much apps were liked or disliked around the world. The team analysed more than three million geotagged tweets related to different dating, mobile games, social media, and money transferring and social media apps. Their analysis showed that mobile games got relatively fewer negative reviews. However, Roblox emerged as the most-hated app in 21 countries. The most hated app on the planet turned out to be the dating app Hinge with 34.4% of tweets talking about their negative experience with the app. Dating apps, in general, were found to be the most hated category of applications. Some countries were fo...

A Tesla in its self-driving mode can be seen running over a child mannequin multiple times during a test drive by a safety campaign group. The "deeply disturbing" video shows how Tesla was unable to detect the dummy in front of it and ran over it at an average speed of 25mph. The Dawn Project, which carried out the experiment, claimed that it was executed under "controlled conditions" on a test track. MailOnline reached out to billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk for his comments but have not received a response yet. MailOnline reported that the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) was investigating Tesla's Autopilot active driver assistance system. In the self-driving mode, cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and radar are supposed to see and sense the surroundings of the car. "The deeply disturbing results of our safety test of Tesla full self-driving should be a rallying cry to action," said Dan O'Dowd, founder of The Dawn Pr...

The meta-owned instant messaging app, WhatsApp, Wednesday shared multiple layers of security to protect privacy. In a thread shared on its official Twitter handle, the instant messaging app shared that end-to-end encryption is the foundation for all privacy features. “Every personal message sent on WhatsApp is automatically encrypted, protected and private,” it said, adding that only the person sending the message and the person you're messaging can see what is sent and not even WhatsApp can read your personal messages. Among new features is to leave groups silent. Under this new feature if the user leaves a group only the group admin will be notified unlike previously when notifications were received by all members of the group. “This means you can decide when to make a quiet exit — without everyone knowing,” it said. Moreover, the Meta-owned app is planning to roll out two new features, which include: Online presence puts you in control of who can and can't see when y...

Feature is launching at time when social media companies have been criticised over lack protection for kids. Parents can also confidentially report any concerning accounts. Snap, owner of the popular messaging app Snapchat, rolled out its first parental control tools on Tuesday, which will allow parents to see who their teens are talking to, but not the substance of their conversations. The new feature called Family Centre is launching at a time when social media companies have been criticised over a lack protection for kids. In October, Snap and its tech peers TikTok and YouTube testified before US lawmakers accusing the companies of exposing young users to bullying or steering them toward harmful content. Instagram also testified in a Senate hearing in December over children’s online safety, after a Facebook whistleblower leaked internal documents that she said showed the app harmed some teens’ mental health and body image. Parents can invite their teens to join Family Centre ...

Researchers from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem say they found a group of molecules that repair damaged cells which degenerate over time. The discovery is also linked to a new pill that prevents age-related diseases like Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s. To conduct the study, the researchers developed a drug to protect human cells from damage, which allows a person’s tissues to retain their function for a longer period.  “Mitochondria, the cell’s ‘power plants,’ are responsible for energy production. They can be compared to tiny electric batteries that help cells function properly. "Although these ‘batteries’ wear out constantly, our cells have a sophisticated mechanism that removes defective mitochondria and replaces them with new ones,” Professor Einav Gross explained in a media release. However, the mechanism breaks down as people grow older, which can lead to cell dysfunction and diseases like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and heart failure. The team is hopeful that their oral...

Facebook's QVC-like Livestream feature, live shopping, that let creators showcase and sell their products to their audience, is shutting down on October 1. The company intends to divert its focus to Reels instead. TechCrunch explained that though the shopping feature would be disappearing from Facebook, it would still be available on Instagram. The company said, "As consumers’ viewing behaviors are shifting to short-form video, we are shifting our focus to Reels on Facebook and Instagram, Meta’s short-form video product." Initially rolled out in Thailand in 2018, and globally by 2020, the shopping feature had let influencers host their own shopping session by broadcasting their products and putting them up for purchase. The feature was greatly successful in China but failed in the rest of the world. Last month TikTok announced that it was pulling back on its shopping tab feature in Europe and US, due to slow response. Facebook is dedicated to improving on its Reels, ...

The James Webb Telescope has taken a new image of the most distant star, nearly 28 billion light years away, and has captured it in stunning detail. Researchers were able to spot galaxies and had a glimpse of a star called Earendel using the telescope. Earendel means 'morning or rising star' and is situated in a galaxy called Sunrise Arc. The star is aligned with the galaxy cluster providing maximum magnification. Dan Coe at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Maryland said, “Nobody’s ever seen a star this highly magnified, not to mention a galaxy.” Since light takes time to travel, the pictures of the star Earendel are the way it was 900 million years ago, soon after the Big Bang. JWST is expected to have its next round of observation in December which will reveal what Earendel and Sunrise Arc are composed of. Coe says, "We’re all made of starstuff, but that stuff wasn’t around in the early universe. This is a rare opportunity to see if the heavy elements were...

France, Italy and Spain are stepping up pressure on the European Commission to come up with legislation that ensures Big Tech firms partly finance telecoms infrastructure in the bloc, a document showed on Monday. This was the first time the three governments have expressed their joint position on the issue. EU regulators said in May they were analysing the question of whether tech giants Alphabet's Google, Meta and Netflix should shoulder some of the costs of upgrading telecoms networks. In a joint paper, a copy of which was seen by Reuters, the three governments said the six largest content providers accounted for 55% of internet traffic. "This generates specific costs for European telecom operators in terms of capacity, at a time they are already hugely investing in the most costly parts of the networks with 5G and Fiber-To-The-Home," the document said. It urged that European telecom networks and large online content providers pay fair shares of network costs. ...

UCL researchers found that using smartphones can actually boost memory skills, debunking the popular myth that overuse of technology leads to memory loss. Surprisingly, the study shows that using smartphones helps people remember both information that is saved and also not saved on the device.  “We found that when people were allowed to use external memory, the device helped them to remember the information they had saved into it. This was hardly surprising, but we also found that the device improved people’s memory for unsaved information as well,” said senior author Dr Sam Gilbert (UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience), in a media release. To conduct the study, researchers developed a memory task played on a digital device by 158 participants between the ages of 18 and 71. The volunteers were shown up to 12 numbered circles on-screen and were told to remember to drag the circles either to the left or right. One side was considered “high value” and would earn participants...
