Apple Maps finally gets turn-by-turn navigation and ability to book cab in India

Apple Maps in India after many years into existence is getting turn-by-turn navigation. We found this feature to be working just as intended in Secunderabad area where the maps showed turn-by-turn navigation. The feature shows you directions for driving and walking. Additionally, you can also book a cab through the Uber and Ola right within the Maps app under the ride section. However, the information about public transport options isn’t available yet. Apple despite the ability to collect data and produce better results has been lacking in the competition when compared to Google Maps which is miles ahead. Better late than never, at least now, Apple is taking steps towards implementing a change. The app also displays additional information about the desired destination such as working hours, exact address, contact number, and much more. Either way, it is too soon to say if Apple users in India would switch to Apple Maps, but it is an alternative. Source

WhatsApp beta update hints at fingerprint authentication

WhatsApp for Android is receiving a beta update which brings the version number up to 2.19.3 version. This update hints that the company is said to be working on a new authentication feature which isn't available yet as the feature is currently under development.  WhatsApp is working in order to add this feature and is said to add new improvement in the next update. The company is also rumored to be working on implementing Face ID and Touch ID for iOS. There will be a section in the app where users can enable the fingerprint authentication feature.

Amazon said to be building a cloud gaming service

According to reports, Amazon is said to be planning on bringing game streaming service. The kind of service we are talking about brings the ability to play games without downloading or buying discs. The Amazon's cloud gaming service which could launch as soon as 2020. This new report corroborates with Amazon's job hiring in Seattle and California for engineers to specifically work on “Cloud Games.”Another job posting for a “Lead Cross Platform Game Engineer” which explicitly says that Amazon has a new game business up its sleeves. With Amazon having expertise in cloud computing and has the ability to make cloud gaming a reality, it only makes sense for the company to introduce such service. Microsoft already announced the xCloud cloud gaming service at E3 2017, which might allow you to stream games to a tiny new Xbox, as well as existing consoles, computers, and phones. This isn't the first time we are hearing about Amazon's cloud gaming as the company has been experimenting with cloud gaming for a long time now. If the new report does end up being true, soon we might see a stiff competition between the internet giants for the future of gaming. Source
