WhatsApp Plus vs. GBWhatsApp – Which One Should You Choose?

WhatsApp is definitely the top choice when it comes to messaging apps. It allows you to message anyone for free, and you just need your phone number in order to sign up. You can use it to send anything, from text messages, videos and pictures to documents and voice messages. WhatsApp has so many users because it offers plenty of features and it makes sure that the privacy of its users is secure.

While WhatsApp is great should know that there are other alternatives available. Two of them are WhatsApp Plus and GBWhatsApp. It is recommended that you use the original version, but if you want to customise your UI and have extra features you might want to try out these two.

WhatsApp Plus

One of the biggest advantages of WhatsApp Plus is that it comes with multiple themes. There are more than 700 available and you can choose anyone you want. It is also possible to raise the limit sharing. This means that you can send files u to 50 MB. You also have the option to maintain the original quality of the images and videos that you are sending. One disadvantage of WhatsApp Plus is that it isn’t as secure as WhatsApp.

GBWhatsApp

 

If you enjoy themes, you should know that GBWhatsApp has them as well. You can download them or you can come up with your own. With GBWhatsApp it is also possible to lock a chat thread so that others can’t access it, and you are able to disable voice calls. However, one thing that you should know about GBWhatsApp is that you won’t have automatic updates for it. This means that you should keep an eye out for new versions and install them yourself.

Clash Royale November Update Download Available With New Improvements

Expect a new update for Clash Royale. The November update comes with several changes and additions and Supercell has already confirmed some of them. The update will come on November 5th you have some time to find out what it brings.

Balance Update

A video posted on YouTube titled “Clash Royale: Balance Update Coming!” presents all the changes that will occur for the troops. Supercell aims to make the game fair, and a couple of adjustments have been made. For some troops the damage has been changed, while for others speed was adjusted:

  • Royal Ghost: Hitpoints -9%
  • Royal Hogs: Damage -6%
  • Inferno Tower: Hitpoints +3%
  • Skeleton Barrel: Death Damage +62%
  • Mega Knight: Hit Speed faster 1.8sec -> 1.7sec
  • Tombstone: Spawn Speed slower 2.9sec -> 3.1sec.
  • When destroyed, spawned skeletons reduced (-1)
  • Giant: Hitpoints -2%
  • Magic Archer: First attack slower
  • Cannon Cart: Hit Speed slower 1.2sec -> 1.3sec
  • Dart Goblin: Damage +4%

These aren’t major changes, but they will definitely improve the quality of the game. It was a known fact that the Royal Ghost and Royal Hogs were extremely powerful, and this was a disadvantage for many players.

There are some improvements as well. For example, the Mega Knight and the Skeleton Barrel will be stronger during battles, and the Skeleton Barrel received a major boost (Death Damage +62%). The Tombstone also had to be controlled a little bit, since it had a low price and it offered multiple advantages.

Other updates

We are pretty certain that this update is just the first one, and an additional one should come at the end of the month, or in December. We can prepare for an update that will bring bigger changes, such as new game modes, new troops or new challenges for the players.

Apple CEO Tim Cook Said That iPad Pro 2018 Offers Xbox One S-like Graphics Capabilities

It has become fashionable among mobile device manufacturers to compare their new products with game consoles. Huawei compared its Mate 20 X with the Nintendo Switch video game console, and now Apple itself has referred to Xbox One S in the presentation of the new iPad Pro 2018 that boasts more power and graphics capability than the previous models.

Tim Cook, the Apple CEO, went on the stage yesterday to announce the new iPad Pro 2018 models and, after showing its ultra-thin appearance that virtually eliminates the device’s bezels and its design without a Home Button, referred to the handset’s power and functionality as a gaming platform.

“The iPad Pro delivers Xbox One S-style graphics performance in a product that is 94% smaller,” Tim Cook said to the millions of viewers who follow each Apple keynote live. “And it doesn’t need an AC cable,” he added regarding the new iPad Pro 2018.

Apple CEO Tim Cook Said That iPad Pro 2018 Offers Xbox One S-like Graphics Capabilities

Tim Cook, the Apple CEO, proved his statements true during yesterday’s Apple event, although it has always been difficult to compare performance between gaming-dedicated hardware such as Xbox One S and a multi-function device, as the former one is directly optimized for running video games, while the latter is multi-functional.

What Cook didn’t say is that the 2018 iPad Pro 2018 comes in two variant, on of 11 inches and the second one of 12.9 inches.

But Tim Cook’s statement that iPad Pro 2018 models are offering Xbox One S-like graphics capabilities did not disturb Microsoft, whose battle with Apple is on other areas. Phil Spencer, head of video games at the company, replied on Twitter that he liked the reference and turned it into a proposal to encourage cross-play between the two devices. This device will probably be one of the favorites when xCloud is put into use when it is released in 2019.

uTorrent vs. BitTorrent – Best Speed and User Interface Comparison

Using a torrent client can be very convenient for the times when you want to access certain files for free. There are numerous options available, but two of the best torrent clients remain BitTorrent and uTorrent. They are both popular, but which one is best? Today we will compare these two to see their advantages and disadvantages.

Speed

Speed is very important for any torrent user. If we analyse the speed of both BitTorrent and uTorrent, we can see that BitTorrent is faster. That is because BitTorrent does not have any ads, and therefore it is faster. The downloading speed for uTorrent is less than 10kb/s while the BitTorrent one is more than 70kb/s. Here BitTorrent is the clear winner.

Ads

Most users consider ads annoying and they try to avoid them. If you are one of those persons, you will prefer BitTorrent, since it is ad-free. UTorrent comes with ads unless you upgrade to the ad-free version which will cost you $4.95/year. You can also choose the Pro version with comes with other features as well, and costs $19.95/year.

User interface

It is important to choose a program that has a simple UI, which is easy to use. Here, both BitTorrent and uTorrrent are pretty similar. In fact, the UI is almost the same. You can see all the torrent options and suggestions in the menu that shows up on the left side. Additionally, that is also where the upgrade options show up.

Then at the bottom you can see an overview for the torrent files that you have added. All the information you need is available there, including things such as speed, trackers, info and files.

Languages

Language support can also be important. Here uTorrent wins, as it is available in 67 languages, while BitTorrent is available in 66 languages.

iOS 12.1 Beta 5 Is Download Available With Group FaceTime Video Calls

Back on October 22, Apple released iOS 12.1 beta 5 for developers. The public received the beta a few hours later. Just a week before that, they made the fourth beta available for both developers and public testers.

iOS 12.1 update is expected to bring some noticeable changes. However, beta 5 did not come with anything major. If you plan to install it you should expect some minor security improvements as well as bug fixes.

How to get the update as a developer?

As a developer, you will be the first one to get the new updates. Nonetheless, you can only receive them if you are registered as a developer and you have a configuration profile that is valid.

You can also enable “Automatic Updates” so that all updates will be installed automatically. If you want to do it yourself, you will have to go to the Settings app, head over to General and then choose Software Update. Tap Download and Install and follow the instructions that show up on screen.

iOS 12.1 Beta 5

The fifth iOS 12.1 beta is probably the last one, which means that it is very likely to get the final version this week. Public Beta 5 did not come with any release notes, which means that we do not have that many details.

One important feature that we will get with iOS 12.1 is the launch of Group FaceTime video calls. Initially, we were supposed to receive this with iOS 12, but Apple decided that it will push it back. Nonetheless, it appears that numerous users won’t get it. According to the user guide for iOS 12.1 released by Apple, this feature won’t be available for iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air, iPad Mini 2, iPad Mini 3, iPad Mini 4 and 6th generation iPod Touch.
