Microsoft Edge New Update Left Users in Shock

What would be your response if an app gets automatically installed on your PC? I am sure it is going to irritate you. Microsoft is doing the same with its users. Also, it is force-feeding its users with the new updates. Moreover, the new updates automatically install Microsoft Edge and even you are not able to stop it. This is causing damage to Microsoft’s reputation.

What happened to Microsoft Edge?

Well, there was an automatic update of this browser. But the irony is the users could not even close it. Consequently, the users have a lot some of their data as well as unsaved work.

Moreover, when the users restarted their Windows 10, the Microsoft edge launched itself. There were temptations to migrate from existing browser to edge. However, during the course, users were unable to stop or abort the process. After the updates and installation, it pinned to desktop and taskbar itself.

Moreover, when the users restarted the browser, it did not ask whether you want to use Edge as a default browser or some other. Hence it was a huge privacy lapse.

What was the impact on users?

The users did not take it pleasantly. However, they took social media and other platform and trolled Microsoft. Some users said that we can’t imagine that Microsoft would shoot itself in the foot by stooping so low. They said that we have seen such an instance from spyware and ransomware. However, these tactics by Microsoft is shocking.

Moreover, people said that it is a part of the forced Windows updates. While justification by Microsoft would be that they have replaced the old browser with a new one. Many users complained that they have lost their important data also. While Microsoft has lost its trust with this forced update.

Microsft Edge lost trust and goodwill?

This incident can make people ignore the browser Edge easily and go for others. Microsft has now lost its goodwill and credibility. Because experts are seeing it as the user’s privacy breach. Moreover, it hs halted the motto of MS “First Run Excercise” as well as “we care about your privacy” Hence MS is going to lose its potential users.

Android and iOS are two great rivals in the world of smartphone operating systems. Both try their best to be a step forward from the others. There was an airdrop feature in Apple iPhone to share the files. Now Google has announced Nearby Sharing feature for its android users to compete with the iOS. Though Google has launched its a beta-test version yet full version has not come into the business. However, it is said to be a great step by the android.

Difference between Apple Airdrops and Android Airdrop

Well, Apple was first to introduce its airdrop back in 2013. Moreover. it was very useful to share the files between iPhones and laptops. However, after seven years, Google has now announced its own native file-sharing system Nearby Sharing. Moreover, with Apple airdrop, users can share the file from contacts to images between any type of iPhones. While with Nearby Sharing, users can share anything from images, videos, links to tweets.

Nearby ShareIt is also fair to say that Google has stolen this idea from iPhone and developed it in an advanced manner.

How to use Nearby Sharing?

As I have mentioned earlier that Google has released its beta-test version yet. Therefore, it might be available for some devices and for others not. To use this feature, you will have to sign up as a beta tester for Google Play Services. Moreover, to do this, you will have to simply log in to Google play store and go and check the beta listing.

Nearby Sharing Beta test

So, there you can spot this amazing feature. It is also with mentioning that it will not share the files to unknown devices like Bluetooth. However, if you keep your visibility on then you would be able to share data with any android device.

After that, also check either the Google Play service is updated or not. If it is not updated then you will have to do it. Moreover, then click on the android share button and use the Nearby Sharing option

Well, when Google will launch its complete version with full support then it would be worth using. Finally, Google has taken this step which is highly appreciated.

So what’s the real answer to the question is PUBG Mobile a Chinese app or not?

Well, later on, the mobile game’s trend was picking up on and the growing mobile esports company was gaining the traction so the Korean Developer Bluehole thought to bring the game to the mobile gaming community.

Bluehole partnered with the world’s largest gaming company, which is Tencent, to distribute the game only in China.

Tencent Games is a part of Tencent Holdings, which is a Chinese multinational conglomerate.

Later on, when the game became popular in China they decided to release the game worldwide.

To enter the Chinese market, Bluehole Corporation hired Tencent Games to Develop a mobile version of PUBG.

Where Tencent still remains the Developer and Publisher of PUBGMobile yet, Bluehole Corporation still holds the Major Ownership in the game.

So, it is finally clear that it is not a Chinese app rather than a South Korean App and the Indian government has no plans on banning it in the near future.

PUBG Mobile is available to download and play on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
