1. APPLE - WIFI ASSIST NEW FEATURE
- A smart new setting – on by default on the latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system – which allows the phone to terminate to cellular data when wi-fi isn't avaliable
- A journalist stated: “Since downloading the iOS 9 beta that introduced Wi-Fi Assist, I’ve used around one-third more data a month"
- The whole point of Wi-Fi Assist is that the iPhone will start to use mobile data where it wouldn’t have done before.
- More usefully, setting data-heavy apps such as Netflix to “wifi only” (in this case, found in the iPhone’s settings app) will let you keep your usage low while still benefiting from the feature in daily life.
- A rumour started that Facebook was planning to make its users pay £5.99 [or $5.99 for US users] to keep their status updates private.
- In January 2015 the company announced that it was tweaking its news-feed algorithm to crack down on false and misleading stories.
- Facebook’s privacy settings remain unaltered, with posts and accounts able to be kept private by using the drop-down menu while publishing them, or the general-settings menu.
