These are the hidden features of Truecaller, you will not know about them, here's how they work

Truecaller is a very useful mobile app. There are a lot of features on this platform which are well known to all. But today in this news we will tell you about the secret feature of Truecaller which you do not know about.

Technology News: At this time we all use Truecaller to detect spam calls and unknown numbers. This platform has a lot of features, which are very useful for the users. But there are many such features, about which very few users are aware. We are going to tell you about the same features of Truecaller here, which you will not even be aware of. Let's know in detail...

Inbox Cleaner

Smartphones have a lot of storage, so we do not delete SMS. Inbox Cleaner helps you delete old, unwanted messages in a matter of seconds. Truecaller users will not have to personally select the messages to be deleted. By tapping on Inbox Cleaner from the menu you will be able to see how many OTP and Spam messages you have collected and by tapping on it again you will be able to delete old SMS without affecting important data.

Spam Statistics

Keeping in mind the spam calls and SMS, Truecaller has added Spam Statistics feature on its platform. With the help of this feature, you have developed a special way to know about them by looking at the name and statistics. Can understand whether you should raise this number or not. This includes information about the number of spam calls this number has made recently, what times these calls usually come in, and the upward and downward trends in spam markings.

Block Number Series

Most of us get unlimited calls throughout the day. These include spam calls and wrong numbers. Because of this we sometimes get very upset. In this case, we can use advanced call-blocking of Truecaller. Truecaller updates spam list everyday. So don't forget to update it too (for premium users this happens automatically). If you get calls from a particular country or number series and you have never been to those places, go to Truecaller settings and you block them all by tapping the $ sign. This advanced option is available free of cost to all users.

Smart SMS

Generally, 80 percent of the SMS received by an individual are from businesses. That's why SMS apps need to be smart enough to filter spam and categorize useful information. Truecaller uses the same powerful algorithm to identify spam callers in SMS as well. The app has SMS intelligence and can work offline locally on your device. Hence nothing goes out of your phone including OTP, Bank SMS and financial information. Smart SMS has been developed by making the SMS engine more powerful, which filters out spam, categorizes useful information, reminds you of payments and makes your SMS inbox a very organized space.

Call Reason

Has your important phone ever been ignored by peers, friends or family? If the person is busy, he or she should know how important the call is and stop and answer it. Call region feature can be used for this. It is available for iOS and Android users. Users can enter a reason before each call or choose one of the pre-defined reasons. This greatly increases the chances of your call being picked up.

How to see other people’s WhatsApp status without letting them know? Here is the trick

 People’s WhatsApp status are like Instagram/Facebook stories. If people check your WhatsApp Status you'll get to know when you check the list. But there's how to see others’ status without letting them know.

Technology News: WhatsApp status’ work a bit like Facebook and Instagram stories. They stay for twenty-four hours and you'll add multiple status updates a bit like it's with stories on the other two Facebook-owned platforms.

But like on Instagram you'll make a group of close friends and share stories that just they will see, incase you would like to keep some content away from those who follow you there, WhatsApp doesn't have that option. All contact on WhatsApp can see your status if you post one.

There are instances where you would possibly want to see someone’s status and not allow them to know - just as it'd happen on Facebook or Instagram. And there's an easy way to do it.

• How to see other people’s WhatsApp status without letting them know? Here is the trick

And it involves the ‘Read’ receipt.

All you need to do to keep your profile from popping up on someone’s status checked-list os by turning off the Read receipt.

Go to Settings, click on ‘Privacy’ and turn off the Read receipts.

Now if you check someone’s status, he/she won't be able to see your name on the list of individuals . Easy.

Like it is with turning off Read receipts that removes the double blue tick from your messages, it also disappears for all of your chats and you don’t get to know if others have read your messages or now - an equivalent also happens for the WhatsApp status.

If you switch Read receipts off, you'll also not be able to see who all have checked your status.

So you would like to make a decision what’s important to you then take the plunge. in fact it’s as easy to undo it as it is to do it. you'll always return into your settings and turn on Read receipts for things to return to normal.

A real sneaky ebay to do things would be to toggle the Read receipts off whenever you would like to see someone’s status and not allow them to know then turn it on after 24 hours. But this whole process looks like way an excessive amount of work for far too little. People have been known to go to fascinating lengths though.

Japan's 'flying car' gets off ground, with a person aboard

 Japan's SkyDrive Inc., among the myriads of "flying car" projects round the world, has done a successful though modest test flight with one person aboard.

The decades-old dream of zipping around within the sky as simply as driving on highways could also be becoming less illusory.

Japan’s SkyDrive Inc., among the myriads of “flying car” projects round the world, has carried out a successful though modest test flight with one person aboard.

In a video shown to reporters on Friday, a contraption that seemed like a slick motorcycle with propellers lifted several feet (1-2 meters) off the bottom , and hovered during a netted area for four minutes.

Tomohiro Fukuzawa, who heads the SkyDrive effort, said he hopes “the flying car” are often made into a real-life product by 2023, but he acknowledged that creating it safe was critical.

“Of the world’s more than 100 flying car projects, only a handful has succeeded with a person on board,” he told The Associated Press.

“I hope many people will want to ride it and feel safe.” The machine thus far can fly for just five to 10 minutes but if which will become half-hour , it'll have more potential, including exports to places like China, Fukuzawa said.

Unlike airplanes and helicopters, eVTOL, or electric vertical takeoff and landing, vehicles offer quick point-to-point personal travel, a minimum of in theory .

They could do away with the effort of airports and traffic jams and therefore the cost of hiring pilots, they might fly automatically.

Battery sizes, traffic control and other infrastructure issues are among the various potential challenges to commercializing them.

“Many things have to happen,” said Sanjiv Singh, professor at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, who co-founded Near Earth Autonomy, near Pittsburgh, which is additionally performing on an eVTOL aircraft.

“If they cost $10 million, no one is going to buy them. If they fly for 5 minutes, no one is going to buy them. If they fall out of the sky every so often, no one is going to buy them,” Singh said during a interview .

The SkyDrive project began humbly as a volunteer project called Cartivator in 2012, with funding by top Japanese companies including automaker Toyota Motor Corp., company Panasonic Corp. and video-game developer Bandai Namco.

A demonstration flight three years ago went poorly. But it's improved and therefore the project recently received another round of funding, of 3.9 billion yen ($37 million), including from the event Bank of Japan.

The Japanese government is bullish on “the Jetsons” vision, with a “road map” for business services by 2023, and expanded commercial use by the 2030s, stressing its potential for connecting remote areas and providing lifelines in disasters.

Experts compare the excitement over flying cars to the times when the aviation industry got started with the Wright Brothers and therefore the auto industry with the Ford Model T .

Lilium of Germany, Joby Aviation in California and Wisk, a venture between Boeing Co. and Kitty Hawk Corp., also are performing on eVTOL projects.

Sebastian Thrun, chief executive of Kitty Hawk, said it took time for airplanes, cell phones and self-driving cars to win acceptance.

“But the time between technology and social adoption might be more compressed for eVTOL vehicles,” he said.
