iPadOS 13: How to Open Multiple Windows of Same Apps on iPad

iPadOS has solved one of the biggest problems of using iPad Pro as the main computer. It now allows you to run multiple versions and windows of the same app. So you can now have two Notes windows side-by-side. Here’s how to use multiple windows of the same apps on iPad.


Run Multiple Windows of Same App on iPad

This is probably the most common usage of the new multi-window feature in iPadOS 13. Using drag and drop, you’ll be able to create another instance of an app from the element that you have dragged out. This will depend on the app you’re using, and if they’ve started supporting this feature yet.

iPadOS 13 Peek
To get started, tap and hold on the element from the app. This can be the title of a note in the Notes app, or an email from a list of emails in the Mail app. Then pick it up, drag it to the edge of the screen till you see the black bar appear. Lift your finger to create another instance of the app. You’ll be able to now use all the usual multitasking features like window resizing, window closing, and so on. To close the window, grab the handlebar from the top of the screen and swipe down.

How to Open Multiple Windows Of The Same App Using Expose
If you merely want to create another instance of the same app, you can go to the new App Expose feature. Swipe up to bring the Dock and then tap on the app icon from there. This will open the new App Expose screen. This is where you’ll find all the instances of all the currently open windows. As you haven’t opened extra windows yet, you’ll only see one open window.

iPadOS App Expose
Find the + button in the top-right corner. Tap on it and you’ll see that iOS creates another instance of the same app for you.

How to Manage Multiple Windows of the Same App
To see all open windows from the same app, go to the Dock when the app is open and tap on the app icon. You’ll now see a list of all the Spaces in which you have the app. To quit a Space or an app, just swipe up on it.

2018 iPad Pro May Go Thinner and Drop the 3.5mm Headphone Jack

It has been several years now since Apple dropped the 3.5mm headphone jack from the iPhone lineup, and it’s always felt like a matter of time before the company would do the same thing for the iPad, too.

The $329 iPad didn’t remove the headphone jack, so it looks like it’s the job of the 2018 iPad Pro lineup to handle the transition. And that is apparently what’s going to happen, based on a new rumor swirling around. To facilitate the change, though, Apple is aiming to reduce the size of the upcoming 10.5-inch iPad Pro (or 11-inch, depending on which rumor you want to lean into today) by a few millimeters.

Apple is rumored to be making the new iPad Pro, the smaller of the two variants, just 5.9mm thick. That would be compared to the 6.1mm thickness of the current 10.5-inch iPad, so it’s not nothing. But, to reach that point (which is probably as thin as we need to make a tablet, honestly), it sounds like Apple has decided this is the year to drop the headphone jack.

This rumor does have some weight to it, as far as rumors are concerned, as it stacks atop a few leaked images of what are believed to be CAD illustrations of the upcoming 11- and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models, which indicates the smaller variant will be 5.86mm thick. Those images were published on SlashLeaks recently. They also indicate that Apple is going to go all-in with USB-C this year, apparently dropping the Lightning port on the tablet.

It’s also likely that the larger 12.9-inch iPad Pro will slim down, too. It would be interesting to see if Apple keeps the headphone jack in the larger model, even though that’s not likely.

At this point, it’s looking more and more likely that Apple is going to host an October event to announce the latest iPad Pro lineup. Competing reports have suggested the devices will measure in at either 10.5 inches and 12.9 inches, or 11 inches and 12.9 inches, with this latest leak leaning towards the two latter variants. It is expected Apple will drastically shrink the bezels on the iPad Pro models, following in line with the iPhone X design, and that the tablets will support Face ID in landscape mode.

So, as the rumor mill starts to spin a bit faster and we start to paint a pretty clear picture of what’s coming down the pipe, are you already planning on making a 2018 iPad Pro model your new tablet?

Our Take

None of these rumors seem outlandish, and it seems like a matter of fact that Apple will drop the headphone jack from this year’s tablet lineup. That’s all well and good. Still, even if the new iPad Pro

offers the same display resolution as the model it’s replacing, with those smaller bezels, Face ID , and more , one has to wonder just how much we’re going to be paying for these things.

Instagram Announces Support for Third-Party Authentication Apps, New Path to Verification, and More

Instagram wants to make sure that there are a variety of different tools in place to help its users feel safe, whether that’s revealing even more information about certain profiles or offering support for third-party apps that can add a layer of security to logging in.

On Tuesday, Instagram officially announced a trio of new features that will begin rolling out this week. The first two are designed to provide even more information about accounts, whether it’s your own or another, while the third is meant to offer up another option for two-factor authentication for a more secure log-on process and security.

“About This Account” is a new feature that will let users see even more context about specific accounts. When this feature rolls out in the coming weeks, users will be able to visit a profile, select the “…”, and then tap the “About This Account” option. The next screen will show you the country of origin for the account your own, if its has undergone any username changes, when the account joined Instagram, and more.

“Our community has told us that it’s important to them to have a deeper understanding of accounts that reach many people on Instagram, particularly when those accounts are sharing information related to current events, political or social causes, for example. If you do see an account on Instagram you believe violates our Community Guidelines, you can report it.”

Getting verified on a social network like Instagram typically means the account has been vetted in some way or another, making accounts with large following numbers a bit more official. And now Instagram is making a form within the app that account owners can access and use to request verification from the Facebook-owned social network directly.

“To access the verification request form, go to your profile, tap the menu icon, select “Settings” at the bottom and then choose “Request Verification.” You will need to provide your account username, your full name and a copy of your legal or business identification. This information will not be shared publicly.”

Instagram makes sure to point out that just because an account sends the form to the social network to request verification doesn’t necessarily mean the account will earn it.

Finally, support for third-party authentication apps. This means that you can have another option for two-step verification, adding another layer of security for your sign-in on the platform:

“To use a third-party app to log into your Instagram account, go to your profile, tap the menu icon, select “Settings” at the bottom and then choose “Two-Factor Authentication.” Select “Authentication App” as your preferred form of authentication. If you already have an authentication app installed, we will automatically find the app and send a login code to it.

Go to the app, retrieve the code and enter it on Instagram, and two-factor authentication will turn on automatically. If you don’t have one installed yet, we will send you to the App Store or Google Play Store to download the authenticator app of your choice. Once you’ve installed it, return to Instagram to continue setting up your two-factor authentication.”
These new additions will be rolling out over the coming weeks.

Our Take

These changes are a nice boost to the platform. That direct request for verification will hopefully make sifting through accounts that “deserve” it or not a bit more straightforward for the folks at the social network working behind-the-scenes. The best new addition is support for third-party authentication apps like Authy, though.

Leak shows the new iPad Pro’s most mysterious component

Apple is expected to launch two new iPad Pro models later this year, both of them sporting a revamped design inspired by the iPhone X. While the iPad Pros aren’t expected to feature notch bezels, they should support Face ID authentication, which will replace the iconic home button. As a result, the 2018 iPad Pros will have slimmer bezels than their predecessors.

Distinct reports from credible sources have revealed these details about the incoming iPad Pro models in the past. But a brand new leak, which seems to corroborate a previous rumor, indicates that the new iOS tablets will also pack a mysterious feature.

If that looks familiar, that’s because 2018 iPad Pro CAD schematics that leaked a few weeks ago showed the same design peculiarity.

As MacRumors explains, the purpose of the opening is unclear. Before, we heard that the iPad Pro will feature a Smart Connector where that bottom cutout is placed, which would let users dock the tablet in portrait mode rather than landscape. Those reports said that Face ID only works in portrait mode on the tablet, contradicting previous rumors that said Apple is upgrading Face ID to also work in landscape mode.

One other purpose of that rear-facing pill would be to deliver Touch ID functionality. Apple, however, has never placed a fingerprint sensor on the back of devices. Last year, Apple seemed to make it clear that it doesn’t want to combine the two features.

However, a rear-facing fingerprint sensor would make sense on a tablet, especially if Face ID only works in portrait mode. Touch ID could be used when the tablet is docked in landscape mode. Before you ask, yes, the case has cutouts that indicate docking the tablet in landscape mode will be supported.

Apple should unveil the new iPad Pros this September.

Your Smartphone Is Likely Tracking Your Location

A new lawsuit accusing Google of tracking people’s locations against their will has served as a reminder that every movement of most smartphone users is being recorded, often without their knowledge.

The California man who filed the suit claims that the tech behemoth continued to track the whereabouts of Android smartphone users even after they turned off “location history”.

But the history of geolocation and the privacy issues it raises are as old as the mobile phone itself.

Early days

Before smartphones arrived more than a decade ago, it was still possible to use geolocation. Mobile phones constantly connect to local antenna towers, and by triangulating the signals the user can be found — as Jeff Goldblum illustrated in the 1996 movie “Independence Day”.

However smartphones brought about a far simpler way to track people: GPS.

GPS revolution

After the release of the first iPhone revolutionised the industry in 2007, GPS — Global Positioning System using satellites — became prevalent, and it is now included on all smartphones.

Most apps now use location tracking, and not just for obvious purposes like maps and transport. It’s also used for dating, food delivery and gaming, such as Pokemon Go, which became hugely if briefly popular across the world in 2016.

Trackers on 75% of apps

As the popularity of apps using geolocations grows, so does their money-making potential.

For example, when tourists use their phone to explore, they can be targeted with advertising not just from the country they are in but also the city and even the street they are standing on.

A 2014 study by CNIL, the French government’s techonology consumer protection body, showed that between a quarter to a third of apps had access to the phone’s location.

By 2017, a study by Yale University found that three-quarters of Android apps contained trackers — usually containing advertising.

The CNIL study also found that some apps tracked the phone’s location more than a million times over a three-month period — accessing the information about once per minute.

Even flashlight apps

The new Google lawsuit is far from the first time privacy concerns have been raised over geolocation. In 2011 fellow tech giant Apple faced a lawsuit over location tracking on its ubiquitous iPhones and iPads.

And there are also national security concerns.

In July of this year, researchers found that the fitness app Polar had revealed sensitive data on military and intelligence personnel from 69 countries. The app later disabled the function.

Just months before another health app, Strava, was found to have showed potentially sensitive information about US and allied forces around the world.

But the problem includes apps that don’t even need to track the users’ location.

Some simple flashlight apps have been discovered to have been secretly sharing location information.

Greetings

Our God is a mighty God
He is the God of each year
God over weeks and God over year
This March, He will make everything work for you ,He will surprise you and give you the best of Happiness. Happy New month.

3 Apps For The Next Generation Of Entrepreneurs

Apps and other technologies will change the way young entrepreneurs create their businesses.

The opinions expressed here by Inc.com columnists are their own, not those of Inc.com.
As the 21st century is well on its way, motivated individuals and freethinking employees are embracing the entrepreneurial spirit in ever-increasing numbers.
Mainstream consumers are open to new and innovative ideas, and there is no shortage of bright minds to satiate their needs.
However, even the most cunning and business-savvy professional can use a helping hand from time to time.
There's plenty of assistance to be found online and in the numerous software options available today, but it can be difficult to find the exact utilities you need to start a new business or launch a project.
Here are three apps that we wouldn't be surprised to see the next generation of entrepreneurs using to kick start their startups.
1. Stash
In some cases, investors simply don't know where to put their money.
This is often seen with those who are novice entrepreneurs as well as those who haven't diversified in their past endeavors. If their chosen field begins to struggle or wane, those who have put all their eggs into one basket are bound to suffer a loss.
This is exactly where Stash comes in. By providing quick access to a countless number of investment opportunities, the company makes it easy for everyone - including someone with no previous investment knowledge or portfolio to build on - to make their entrepreneurial dreams a reality.
Stash accomplishes this by offering Exchange Traded Funds, or ETFs, which are similar to stocks.
The company combs through the list of available opportunities and curates them to provide their customers with the best possible prospects.
A number of factors, including overall performance, risk and any applicable fees, are all considered before promoting one initiative or another.
2. Gust
While some investors are at a loss when it comes to locating worthwhile causes, many startup companies and entrepreneurs are finding it difficult to secure the necessary funding in the first place.
Gust, a recently launched solution of its own, hopes to bridge this gap by connecting startup enterprises with potential investors and partners. The company has already facilitated nearly $2 billion in investments to date.
Gust offers several different avenues of service, depending on your exact needs. Entrepreneurs are already using the site to build their online profiles and attract new investors.
Conversely, established investors are enjoying the integrated deal-flow management functionality and the high level of security of Gust's service.
Their site even gives users the ability to narrow the field down using location- or industry-specific searches, thus making it easier to forge new connections and cultivate business partnerships. More than 1,000 prolific investment groups are actively using Gust to seek out new opportunities.
3. Upwork
Comparable to next-gen classified ads, Upwork makes it easy for employers and entrepreneurs to locate top talent for their projects.
Whether you're in need of full-time help or temporary assistance, the Upwork platform makes it easy to create a job posting, connect with qualified professionals and share any project details. You can even handle all the payment details through its secure site.
Employers and entrepreneurs are able to choose from three different pricing tiers, Upwork, Upwork Pro and Upwork Enterprise, which guarantees the exact level of service needed.
This solution has even been used by some of the largest brands on the internet today, including Dropbox, Airbnb, Zendesk and many more.
Utilizing Technology to its Fullest Extent
With the modern consumer embracing IT more than ever before, there are plenty of opportunities for entrepreneurs to introduce new functionality into the common household.
The most successful startups are able to provide a new or easier solution to a regular problem, but the people behind these innovations faced their share of challenges, too.
Although overnight success isn't a possibility for most, the current state of technology provides next-gen entrepreneurs with the next best thing.
