macOS High Sierra 10.13.5 Available to Install – New Feature Added to the Update

The fifth major update to the macOS High Sierra operating system is here. The latest update for macOS was released on Friday and it adds a feature that we were waiting for since the last Worldwide Developers Conference that took place one year ago. High Sierra 10.13.5 update introduces support for Messages in iCloud, along with security updates and improved performance. It can be downloaded and installed from the Mac App Store.

Messages in iCloud has been already added in iOS 11.4 and now it will be supported on Macs. This will allow users to store their messages on iCloud and not on their device, so it will basically sync the communications they send and receive through the Messages app across all devices, no matter if they have an iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or a Mac. This will help users save space on their devices, but it’s important to remember that it also requires free storage in iCloud.

After the installation of macOS High Sierra 10.13.5, the activation of this feature has to be done manually and on all the iOS devices. All you need to do in order to enable it is to open Preferences in Messages, then click Accounts and select “Enable Messages in iCloud.” It’s as easy as that.

It’s also good to keep in mind that one of the benefits of Messages in iCloud is that if you delete a message from your Mac, it will be removed from all the devices running the latest software update.

The newly released High Sierra 10.13.5 also comes with several security updates and you may want to know that the update is 2.12 GB. You will have to restart your Mac for this update to be installed and just to be on the safe side, it’s never a bad idea to try to back up your data.

We also expect more details about the following macOS 10.14, a more significant release, at the Worldwide Developers Conference that begins tomorrow.

Pokémon Quest Update – New Release for Nintendo Switch

Just a few days ago Nintendo released Pokémon Quest for Switch and it looks like the game has been already downloaded more than one million times. Unlike other games of the popular series, the process of collecting creatures requires real patience and luck. This game will not demand your total commitment, but instead, it’s best to enjoy it over the shorter time spans.

The starting point of the game is a base camp, where you will have a chance to choose your own pokémons. You can decide to stick to your old friends known from Pokémon: Let’s Go, so Eevee or Pikachu, or opt to befriend others: Charmander, Squirtle or Bulbasaur.

Once you select your three new companions, you’ll be ready to start your expedition. While exploring new levels, you’ll encounter countless wild pokémons, against whom you’ll have to fight. The battles in Pokémon Quest don’t require any special strategy, but they’ll give you a lot of fun. Every creature you own has only two moves available but using the right combination of stones, which you can find on the battlefield, you can turn your pokémon into a real fighter. There is an auto mode in the game, allowing you to advance faster through levels, but of course, you’ll have more fun if you control the battles yourself. Another interesting part of Quest is the fact that you can attract new pokémons by simply cooking in your base. Different types of food will appeal to different creatures and it’s only up to you to figure out the exact way it works.

Since Pokémon Quest is a free-to-play game, there are some limitations included in the gameplay, but you can overcome them by using real cash. Anyway, as mentioned before, this game wasn’t designed to keep you engaged for hours on end, but to give you maximum fun whenever you have some spare time. Soon, you’ll also be able to play Pokémon Quest on your phone, as a mobile release is expected to follow shortly.

The New Era of Jailbreak Is Here: Electra Jailbreak Tool Works On All iPhones and iPads

Jailbreak has been considered dead for quite some time. Apple did everything in its power in order to stop developers from creating new jailbreak tools, and for a while this worked. However, after a long break, the jailbreak community managed to make a comeback.

Recently, CoolStar’s Electra iOS 11.3.1 jailbreak tool was confirmed to support all devices up to iPhone X, as long as they are running the right iOS version. The details were revealed by the developer of the jailbreak tool.

CoolStar tweets

CoolStar took it to Twitter and he shared with us various things about the Electra Jailbreak tool. He started by acknowledging the help he received from others, as he received numerous donations after he put up the donation portal:

He also added that things will be a bit different this time. Back when he worked at the 11.0 – 11.1.2 jailbreak he focused too much on the naggers. According to the developer, this time it will be “drama-free”. He also tweeted that “Some mistakes were made when doing the 11.1.2 jailbreak (first time for everything right), but I’ll be sure to not let it happen twice :)”

Min Zheng, a security researcher for Alibaba also added his confirmation. A working KPP bypass has been pushed into the public domain. This method is important for a jailbreak solution.

This kppless (bypass kpp) method works for all arm64 devices,” along with a link, “Our new Research @bxl1989! iOS 11.3.1 jailbreak internals: Remount rootfs https://www.weibo.com/ttarticle/p/show?id=2309404245794218721506 …. BTW, we will have 2 talks about Apple Security at @defcon , welcome to follow us,” posted Zheng.
