Gmail New Feature Gets Unwanted IDs Block


Google transparently working from the past two months before with the new feature in its Gmail service, now it has unleashed its new features with gmail web and as well as its iOS and Android application.


Gmail New Feature Gets Unwanted IDs Block

On Tuesday Google Gmail has published its working order that how they love their gmail users, with this new feature, users now can block email IDs with only a single functions or even a single click users can unsubscribe those users whom they don’t like to see or get mailed!

With this Gmail update users can Block other IDs as well as they can unblock them at any moment after the block, this subscribing or unsubscribing facility will also be done in the Web version, users can ultimately unblock users from the spam folder, after the block all the blocked IDs will be directly delivered to the spam folder instead of Inbox to face you.



From the Gmail Web version you can select any ID that you want to block and next with that you can mark any actions as “Block” to, Block option will also be displayed, earlier this functions were not available but at earlier stage you can only unsubscribe those unwanted IDs, not you can even Block those IDs, the same process of Blocking Users ID can also be done in Gmail Application both iOS and Android, with just couple of click on the three dots in the top right corner of the application when you opened that mail and you will find the block options as above image shown!

Reporting some of the content means to be a spam but blocking some of the content with the direct mean as spam, there are two differences but saying thoughts were the same, gradually even you are reporting some of the facebook content as spam by the same you can even block that entire person but that’s another way to report spam, but then also that’s not an spam blocking some person in facebook, in this Gmail you can only spam that particular person but eventually at the same time you will also receiving that mailed direct to your mail box, same with the unsubscribing function, if some of the program you are willing to unsubscribe then the internal system will be directly stop sending you mail again, but if you are individually working with some of the people as another individual mail ID then they can sent you mail and after the block that mail will be shown only in spam box not being disturb you that you have got some Spam mail lol.

Six Android 6.0 Marshmallow Features You Should Be Looking Forward To...

The newest version of Android, version 6.0 named Marshmallow, has been available for developers to preview for some time now, with a public release pegged for November 2015. There are a lot of improvements that Google is promising with Android Marshmallow, which give you more control over the phone and improve performance, while also providing new ways to interact with your device.

Here are the 6 features from Android 6.0 Marshmallow that we are most excited about.

1) App permissions
Application permissions have been completely overhauled in Android Marshmallow. Now you will be able to grant apps individual permissions to device functions, instead of the previous model of all or nothing.

What this means is, if an app is trying to access your phones camera or microphone, the system would prompt you saying this app is trying to access camera/ microphone on your device and it will ask, "Would you like to allow this?" It's a big change from the current system where you have to either give an app access to all the services it wants; or not install the app.

Here's another example: If you want to send a voice recording on WhatsApp, the system would give you a prompt telling you that WhatsApp is trying to access the microphone on your phone. This means you don't have to agree to permissions from an app which doesn't make sense to you, such as if you don't want a specific camera app to access your contact list.
Now you can also go into app settings and individually turn on or off app specific permissions at any time. This gives users complete control over an app, and resolves any privacy concerns they might have.

2) Now on Tap
This is one of the most impressive new features to be introduced with Android Marshmallow. Now on Tap takes the concept of the smart assistant Google Now, and spreads it across the entire OS so you can take advantage of it on any screen, regardless of what you are doing. All you need to do, is simply press and hold the home button, and Now on Tap will analyse the information you are looking at, to give you related cards. 

For example, you get an SMS from a friend asking if you would like to go to watch the James Bond Spectre movie over the weekend; long press the home button and Google's Now on Tap will automatically recognise the context of the text based on words like 'movie' and 'James Bond Spectre' and show you useful results, such as screening timings in nearby cinema halls, or ratings from IMDB.

3) Fingerprint support
While we've seen Android phones with fingerprint scanners, the implementation was done by vendors themselves. Android Marshmallow will support fingerprint scanners on phones natively now. The new feature will allow the scanners to be used to not only unlock your device, but also use it authorise payments using Android Pay in the offline world or within Play Store apps.

This is important because it will help standardise the implementation of fingerprint scanners in different Android devices, so app developers can take advantage of this new hardware as well. This will also encourage more phone makers to include fingerprint scanners in their devices.

4) App links
App links, also known as Intents, is a feature where if you click on a link in your email or a text message, it asks you what app you would like to open it with. The same thing happens when you click on - for example - a video file or a Facebook link; you are shown all the app that can open the link and asked to choose the one you want to use. 

This feature always allowed Android users to set their own default apps, but it was also annoying at times with frequent dialogue boxes asking which app you want to use. App links are now being updated in Marshmallow to show greater awareness of what you're clicking on, instead of routinely stopping you to pop up dialogue boxes.

So, in Marshmallow, if you get an email with twitter link, it will launch the Twitter app instead of asking you to choose between that and the Chrome browser.
 
 5) Doze
One of the most common complaints faced by Android users has been unpredictable standby times on their phones. This happens because of apps running in the background, which can affect the standby time and performance.

Google is now looking to improve this with the feature called Doze. This is a new technology that learns over time and detects when your device is motionless and not being used, so it can be sent into a deep sleep mode. Once your phone is set to Doze, it checks for updates from apps less frequently, while still staying responsive for calls, messages, and other similar things. Google claims that internal tests have showed double the battery life on standby mode, when compared to Android 5.0.

6) Automatic backup and restore
A seamless back up feature is something which has been missing from Android for years, and it looks like Google has finally taken notice. With Android 6.0, you can set up automatic backups, which will back up apps and app settings of up to your Google Drive storage. There will be a limit of 25MB per app, and the backups will not count against your Google Drive storage limits, and are encrypted by default. 

These backups happen no more than once a day and run only when the device is idle and is connected to a working Wi-Fi connection to avoid unwanted data charges and battery drain on your device. 

This way you can change phones or just reset your phone and when you re-install your apps the previous data will be restored conveniently. This feature works even with apps which have been side-loaded or purchased through other app stores.

These six features are some of the highlights, in our view. Overall, Google is bringing some much needed polish and great new features to the OS in Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and we can't wait to try it on the final release.

15 iOS 9 Features That Make Your iPhone and iPad Better Than Ever

There are several great features in iOS 9 that bridge the gap between the OS and its apps. This deeper integration is bound to please people who use the platform as everyday tasks are now much faster on iOS. Apart from that, Apple has also promised improved performance and battery life on older iOS devices. Here are the best new features of iOS 9.

1) Smoother performance on old iOS devices
This is our favourite feature as it breathes new life into old iOS devices. As we reported earlier, iOS 9 brings smoother switching between apps, quicker load times and less lag on devices such as iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and iPad 3. 

2) Faster app switcher
Switching between apps is much faster on iOS thanks to a new interface. You can double-tap the home button to pull up the new interface, in which each app takes up less space on screen. You can also swipe upwards with four fingers on the iPad to pull up the new app switcher. 

 3) Better, faster Siri
Apple's virtual assistant Siri now does a much better job understanding Indian accents than ever before. We've also seen that it responds more quickly to queries. Siri can also respond to more contextual queries, such as: "Show me photos taken in Delhi".


 4) Proactive assistance
This is one of the most useful features of iOS 9. Based on your usage, the OS will try to provide helpful suggestions. For instance when you plug in headphones, iOS 9 will suggest that you resume the podcast you had paused. Or, if an unknown number calls, iOS 9 will check your emails, to try and show you the contact's name. Proactive search also shows you nearby points of interest in some regions - such as places to visit for shopping, food, and more.

5) Better Spotlight search
Spotlight search can now search within apps as well. Type anything into the search bar and you will see results from within apps that have been updated to add support for this feature. iOS 9 will show apps you open or contacts you reach out to at any given time of the day. In some regions, people will also be shown interesting places to visit nearby and news based on what they've been reading on the Apple News app. 

 6) Battery optimisations
Apple's iOS 9 comes with a new low-power mode that automatically cuts data use and triggers other settings to extend your device's battery life. This can be found under Settings > Battery. With iOS 9, the iPhone's screen won't be switched on if the device is lying face down on any surface. Apple claims that these tweaks will improve your iOS device's battery life by one hour, with low power mode extending it even further.

7) Better security
The four-digit passcode can now be replaced with a six-digit code that is much harder to crack. While a four-digit code means there are only around 10,000 possible combinations, the new six-digit code takes that number up to 1 million. 

8) iPad-only features
Apple's renewed focus on the iPad shows in the number of software tweaks exclusively available for the company's tablet line. The Notification Centre on the iPad show up in a neat two-column view - one for Today view and the other for notifications. The iPad also gets new features such as SlideOver (check another app while using the current one), Picture-in-Picture mode (watch a video while using other apps) and split-screen multitasking. SlideOver and Picture-in-Picture are available on the iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, iPad Air, iPad Air 2 and iPad Pro; split-view is only for the iPad Air 2 and iPad Pro. 

 9) Improved keyboard
The default QuickType keyboard app on iOS 9 comes with a shortcut bar that lets you add attachments, copy or paste quickly, and even has undo and redo buttons. iPad users can swipe on the keyboard with two fingers to access the trackpad mode. This makes selecting and editing text a lot easier. If you connect a physical keyboard to the iPad, you can use several keyboard shortcuts such as command-tab to switch between apps, making the experience more laptop-like.


10) App thinning

This feature saves a lot of space on your iOS device. Your device will only download the resources needed for the app to run on your device, as opposed to downloading those needed for the app to run on all iOS devices. Game developers can let users download certain levels when players reach them rather than downloading all levels during installation.

11) Improved Notes app
You can now save attachments directly to the Notes app, via an extension. This is useful if you need to save links, maps, or documents. The Notes app also has an attachments browser that organises everything you save to the app. It also automatically turns lists into checklists and lets you add photos or even doodle.

 12) Content blockers
Apple's Safari browser on iOS 9 supports content blocker extensions. These let you block ads and other elements on webpages. This will significantly reduce load times for websites, thereby reducing data usage and improving your device's battery life. This is restricted to iOS devices running 64-bit chips, which means it'll work only on iPhone 5s or newer, iPad Air or newer, and iPod touch 6th generation.

13) Quick replies
If you get a text notification, you can pull it down and reply without opening the Messages app. This has been possible since iOS 8. With iOS 9, third-party app developers can implement this feature. So, for example, when a notification pops up that someone has left a comment on your photo, you could quickly 'like' their comment or reply to it without interrupting your work - should Facebook decide to implement this feature. 

14) iCloud Drive 
There's a new iCloud Drive app on iOS 9. This will let you browse the contents of your iCloud Drive, while earlier you were limited to seeing your iCloud documents from within the apps where you had created them. 

 15) Return to apps quickly
When you open a Twitter link from the Mail app, you can now quickly return to Mail by tapping the Back to Mail link on the top left. This feature works with many other apps too, making switching between them a lot faster and simpler. This also eliminates the need for many iOS apps to design an in-built browser. You could click a link in the show notes in your podcast app, read it in Safari and return to the podcast app quickly by tapping the Back to Podcasts link.


Bonus: Apple News
Apple's own Flipboard-like News app lets you read articles from various news sources in a beautiful interface. Unfortunately this feature will initially be available only in the US, UK and Australia. Another change is that the old Newsstand app has been removed. All the magazines you subscribe to will now show up just like apps on your home screen instead of inside the Newsstand app.
