The network presents useful content in all fields of knowledge. Google continues to work on new functions to protect children and adolescents from inappropriate content while browsing the Internet.

Parental controls are part of these advances that help control not only the sites that minors consult, but also help improve the use of the network by establishing navigation schedules, blocking notifications during study hours, among others.

Online supervision and security tools for minors are part of the company’s commitment, according to Priscila Couto, Program Leader, Trust and Security for Google Latin America.

The safety of children and adolescents on the Internet is a priority for Google

These tools, such as SafeSearch, are, among others, “to promote respect among minors, empower them to explore and learn, and protect them in the digital world.”

Google has launched a new Family Link design, which facilitates supervision and administration by parents regarding the accounts and devices that children and adolescents manage.

Parents or guardians can see a summary of the use by application, manage a browsing time limit, as well as schedule breaks or approve downloads, in addition to blocking websites that they consider suspicious, harmful, or openly containing adult content.

Parent administrators can restrict malicious applications

Google also offers the new function called School Time “that will help children stay focused during school hours. It allows administrators to limit phone use, silence notifications and restrict applications based on different needs.”

On the other hand, with the Be Awesome on the Internet program, the goal is to provide children with tools that allow them to acquire the necessary skills “to preserve their security and act intelligently in the online world.”

The digital payment platform PayPal announced that 2024 will be its year of foray into artificial intelligence, with the launch of new functions that will optimize services.

According to the platform’s announcement, customers, both commercial and private, will soon enjoy greater speed and efficiency in daily transactions thanks to six new functions supported by AI.

The press release issued last Thursday referred to personalized offers, profiles for brands, cash back, one-click payments, among others.

Alex Chriss, president and CEO of the company, said: “PayPal is on a mission to revolutionize global commerce, and today we are starting the next chapter.” In this sense, he pointed out that they have six new innovations ready that will establish a significant change in the world of payments and commerce.

PayPal’s news in 2024

The platform plans to launch a feature that allows sellers to reach new customers by following their previous purchase history. To do this, they will “organize and analyze data from commercial transactions worth almost half a trillion dollars around the world.”

On the other hand, they have presented a new offer for the cash back system, called CashPass and that “will be added to your payments’ application” to give access to hundreds of personalized cash back offers. AI organizes such offers for users based on their purchasing behaviors.

The list of new functions also includes “Smart Receipts”, which consists of a function that will issue a receipt at the time of purchase, which will be sent to the customer. With this, it will be possible to “track their order and see predictions of what they might want to buy soon.” In parallel, the feature “will allow brands to include personalized recommendations along with a cash back reward offer on the receipt.”

The one-click payment function, called “Fastlane”, is also part of the new customer options. In the tests carried out, it accelerated the payment speed by almost 40 %. PayPal has added that customers will also see improvements in latency during the payment process.

Telegram announced the launch of its Telegram Premium subscription service, a payment option that arrives when the platform has become one of the five most downloaded apps worldwide in 2022 and records more than 700 million active users per month.

The company announced at the end of 2020 that it would begin to monetize its service a year later, after the increase of active users of the platform. Thanks to this change, you can face the maintenance challenges posed by the traffic that users generate.

Now, when it is among the five most downloaded applications worldwide so far this year and with more than 700 million active users per month, the characteristics of its new payment option were announced.

Telegram Premium integrates a series of additional functions that the expert developer in reverse engineering Alessandro Paluzzi has already advanced a few days ago, who shared a screenshot with the new exclusive functions.

On the occasion of the increase in its number of users, the company indicated that it will retain its free access service and offer a new format with additional functions requested by its community since its inception. This will be paid and will “support the continuous development of Telegram”, according to their official blog.

First, the Premium Telegram subscription entails the ability to upload files up to 4 GB, compared to the 2 GB that allows the option without costs. Thanks to this service, users will be able to send videos of up to 4 hours in 1080p or “18 days of audio in high quality”.

Although the option to send large files is only possible for customers of the payment service; however, users of the free option can also download these files, even if they are not Telegram Premium customers.

The popular WhatsApp messaging service, owned by the giant company Meta, could incorporate some novel changes in its application from 2022, in order to improve the experience of its users.

Here are some of the innovations that the courier service promises:

Reels

This is a function that emerged in the social network Instagram, also owned by Meta, to compete mainly against the TikTok platform. Now WhatsApp is expected to allow its users to play Instagram videos. At the moment, Android users have the opportunity to see the Instagram reels shared by their contacts without having to leave the application.

Sign out of a single device

WhatsApp developers continue to work to offer more convenience to their users. Although until now a person could only disconnect from all devices, rumors suggest that in 2022 they will be able to log out of a single device and remain connected in others. This feature has already been tested by users of the WhatsApp beta version.

Delete messages without time limits

Currently, WhatsApp users only have 68 minutes and 16 seconds to completely delete a message sent by mistake. However, it is possible that in new updates to the app they no longer have this limit. This means that any message can be deleted, both in a private conversation and in a group chat, at any time.

This tool is in fact an updated version of archived chats. Allows you to turn off notifications for a specific conversation. It is expected that it will also include the so-called vacation mode that will allow to silence all chats at the same time. The function will be available in the settings menu of the app.

Invisible mode

WhatsApp proposes to eliminate the last hour in which someone connected to the application, but now you can choose who the user does it with. Previously, this option was available; however, it applied to all contacts. With the new updates that will arrive to the application in 2022 this will change, since the messaging service will allow you to hide the last time you were online only to some contacts that you select from your list.

The WhatsApp messaging application is currently working on a new function with which it will allow its users to send images and videos with a higher quality than the current one.

This was filtered in different web portals, which indicated that the function is available in the latest WhatsApp betas for Android mobile devices (2.21.14.6 and 2.21.14.16).

Until now, the images and videos sent through WhatsApp are compressed automatically, so that certain content may lose quality compared to the original file, but thus the delivery is faster.

With the new function, users will be able to choose between three different options in the storage and data settings, on the quality of the videos and photos shared in chats.

The first is the automatic one, the one recommended by the application, while the second allows you to send content with ‘the best quality’ and the last one to activate the ‘data saving’.
