News & Reviews:   iOS

If there's anything we learn from MCO last year, is that the government would probably extend another two weeks. This has forced many businesses to adapt to the situation and so do schools. With that in mind, the Agency of the Ministry of Education Malaysia (KPM) and Perbadanan Kota Buku (PKB) have developed an app called KPM eTextbook Reader for the students at home.

Apart from the new iOS 14.3 software update, Apple also released iOS 12.5 for older iPhone models that don't support iOS 14. Why are they still doing that for out of date devices? Well, turns out that the iOS 12.5 includes COVID-19 exposure notification support. 

Today, Apple has released another iOS update patch and it's a good one for iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max owners. In iOS 14.3, the new software upgrade includes support for Apple ProRAW for the iPhone 12 Pro variants, as well as AirPods Max and Apple Fitness+. 

If there's one silver lining to what has mostly been a disastrous 2020, it would be the many new ways people have found to work together online. Many companies have been bringing us new updates or platforms to collaborate, and for Facebook one of it is the new Collab app.

If you talk about music apps, Spotify is easily one of the most well-known around. Leaving aside the company's strange decision to test a Stories-like feature, most of what it has in development can be considered useful. In fact, it's said that the app could soon be able to play files locally.

WhatsApp have rolled out a new feature to users, where you can set different wallpapers to different chats or contacts. This feature can also work as a visual indicator that helps you to avoid sending messages to the wrong chatroom. 

The mobile game industry is huge these days. While some major publishers don't have a lot of mobile games, Square Enix has ported or made a lot of new games for mobile gamers. Now, the company has released a teaser for Tomb Raider Reloaded.

As we continue to be restricted by the extended CMCO, more of us avoid going out for takeouts and order delivery instead. If that's the case for you, you may have heard of Hungry, a local food delivery platform that is now partnering with Honor Malaysia.

While most of us are stuck at home these days, some people still need to get out on the roads. For them, Waze is constantly adding new features to improve the user's experience. In the latest update, Waze added a new alert feature for when you're crossing railroads.

Have any of you played the old Castlevania games? It's a well-known action-adventure series that brought Koji Igarashi to prominence as a video game producer. The man left Konami a few years ago to produce a spiritual successor to the series called Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night and it's coming to mobile soon.
