WhatsApp is now owned by Facebook and they have very efficient and highly specialized Research & Development Team which works 24by7 to give what users want that means new features are constantly introduced.

According to reports, WhatsApp is gonna push an update very soon which will give three new features to WhatsApp, out of three, one feature could prove to be very controversial amongst the users of WhatsApp.

WABetaInfo is a publication renowned for analyzing development and beta builds of WhatsApp in order to gain an insight into forthcoming features. They have confirmed that 3 new features will be added by WhatsApp in the upcoming update.

Here are the three huge new features which are coming to WhatsApp for Android smartphone.

1. Blocked Chat Screenshots

Blocked chat screenshot is the main controversial feature which is coming in next update. This means that the users won't be able to capture screenshots of chats. WhatsApp was seen testing Authentication feature in their previous beta versions also. "Authentication" feature for Android means that it will require the user's fingerprint to be scanned for the app to be opened and that too also lead to blockage of chat screenshots.

WABetaInfo announced this new controversial feature on their Twitter handle and many fans expressed their disappointment in response.

One said: “If someone authenticates it with a fingerprint then why the hell can't they take screenshots?"

Another tweeted: WhatsApp please just focus on the Dark theme, not on this s***** feature.“

A third tweeted: “The wrong choice. I hope they won't enable it."

2. Emojis for Doodle UI

WhatsApp's Doodle User Interface allows users to edit their photos using emojis on the go.

The old Emojis were good and usable but they were not consistent with the rest of the app because the icons present in Doodle UI were different from the characters within chats themselves.

10 Ways to Boost Your Customer Support

If you are a businessperson, that means customer loyalty is a top priority in your mind. This also means you understand and appreciate the impact customer support can have on the success of your business.

It doesn’t make a difference whether your business is new or has been in the trenches for years and years, there is always room to improve customer support.

Just a heads up, it is important not to confuse customer support and customer service. Both customer support and customer service are about helping customers, except customer support is a specific type of customer service, more related to documentation, technical support, and product feedback.

Let’s talk about some simple, but effective ways to boost customer support, and ultimately, build customer loyalty and the strength of your business.

#1 Know Your Product/Service

Whether you are offering customer service or customer support, it is critical that you understand your product or service. In the case of customer support, you won’t be able to dish out much support if you don’t understand how your website or the mobile app works, for instance, can you?

Let’s say a customer is having an issue with navigating an app. Providing you have the right knowledge of your product, you will be better suited to ask the right questions to get them through the appropriate steps as seamlessly as possible.

#2 Be Polite

Whether you are dealing with customers via phone or email or face-to-face, they should be met with warm greetings and a willingness to help them solve their problems.

Customer service focuses on the transactional side of things. Customer support, on the other hand, is all about improving upon the experience.

#3 Setting Expectations

Considering the importance of customer support to your business, it is best not to leave things to chance. Having a level of expectancy helps not only your team but also your customers.

Providing top of the line support to customers can make all the difference for your business. There are actually simple steps you can take to achieve this level of support such as promptly responding to queries. 

#4 Ask for Feedback

Sometimes the simple question goes a long way. Ask customers what they think about your product, and you will be surprised how far this information can go in terms of helping you improve the customer experience. After all, you have to…

#5 Use the Feedback You Receive

Once the information is collected, this is passed on to the Product team. The aim is to review feedback, identify areas for improvement, and make changes to your product or business accordingly. You are essentially using customer feedback to refine the experience customers have used your product.

#6 Chatbots for 24/7 Live Chat

There is no doubt that chatbots are on the rise. Tons of companies are already using this technology to handle menial tasks and reduce the cost of operations as well as streamline the online part of the daily business.

Human agents dealing with customers via live chat is one thing. Chatbots, on the other hand, come with a few benefits that are worth making a note of. For one, human agents need sleep. You know, being human and all. Chatbots, on the other hand, don’t, for obvious reasons, meaning you can offer support to customers regardless of time zones, or any other time-related obstacle that may limit human agents.

#7 Don’t Hide Your Support/Contact page

There are a few things more irritating than scouring a website trying to figure out how on earth a company expects you to get in touch with them. This can result in customers bouncing from your website altogether. Customer support is crucial to your business. If customers have a hard time simply initiating the process, it sends the wrong message.  

#8 Stick to the FAQ’s

Assuming your the business has a website (as it should), including a FAQ section can save you a lot of time as well as customers. It’s likely that people will have tons of questions, and sometimes these questions are the type that your team receives every day.

By gathering as many Frequently Asked Questions as possible, you can help set customers on the right track before they even interact with an agent or rep. Start by asking your team what questions they receive most often.

#9 Clearly, Display Working Hours

In a sense, the customer support process begins before you even engage a customer. That said, it’s important that people know exactly how and when you are available. Clearly display this information on your home page, contact page, or Google listing, etc. 

#10 Have Resources at the Ready

Being caught off guard by queries put in by customers is not a good look. Once customers are facing some kind of difficulty and contact you for help, the ball is in your court. Be prepared. It is recommended that you have resources related to your service/product ready to go.

Tencent Gaming Buddy Settings Explained for Low End PC | LAG FREE Game

PUBG Mobile is one of the world’s most trending games which feature 100 players playing at the same time in one match. Player’s Unknown Battleground Mobile version was launched on 9th February 2018. The game has many updates and till the time it has completed 4 complete seasons while the current season is running and season 6 will start from 19th March 2019.

Tencent officially has announced its emulator Gaming Buddy through which you can play PUBG Mobile on your PC. Tencent’s Gaming Buddy has some decent system requirements which can be easily found for many PC users but for some users who don’t exactly have those minimum requirements to run Tencent’s Gaming Buddy can also play PUBG Mobile on PC.

Tencent’s Gaming Buddy Minimum System Requirements

CPU: Dual-core from Intel or AMD with a clock speed 1.8 GHz.
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 8600/9600GT, ATI/AMD Radeon HD2600/3600.
Memory: 3GB RAM at least (4 GB recommended)
OS: Windows 7, 8,10
DirectX: Version 9.0c
Storage: 2.5 GB minimum

The game is full with a lot of features and since it is for mobile it is tremendously great but there are some reasons because of which you are unable to play PUBG Mobile on your PC. Tencent’s Gaming Buddy settings are more important when playing in low-end PC because they come up with default settings which may not suit your PC. Here are the settings explained in depth so that you can play PUBG Mobile using Tencent’s Gaming Buddy.

Rendering

There are five options for rendering, and every option has a different rendering engine. Rendering options basically depend upon the operating system you use. OpenGL and OpenGL+ (recommended) are basically for Linux users and DirectX and DirectX+ is used in Windows. So, if you use Windows operating system then you must select DirectX or DirectX+ and if you use Linux operating system then you should select OpenGL or OpenGL+. But OpenGL is considered to be more powerful when is used in either Linux or in Windows. So if you are using Windows then you must switch between OpenGL and DirectX+.

Smart Mode selects automatically according to your PC but it’s better than you only select the one which is suitable for your PC. Smart Mode is sometimes responsible for the lag of your game because switching between modes in low-end PC requires more memory that’s why it’s recommended not to use Smart Mode.

Rendering Cache must be checked as cashed data rendering reduces your internet data usage but this option can also cause some sort of shuttering so you must try both checking and un-checking the option as this depends completely upon your hardware.

Prioritize Dedicated GPU

This option must be checked only if you have a decent Graphics Card that is it must be at least Geforce GTX series and Radeon RX series. If you have HD Gaming Graphic card then only you should select this option else un-check this option. Prioritizing Dedicated GPU can load up your graphics card with a bundle of graphics which it may not handle. I recommend to un-check this option to achieve no lag situation.

Anti Aliasing

Anti-aliasing obviously makes graphics look smooth and mixes the edge to diminish the sharpened area. Anti-aliasing reduces the graphics to appear suddenly like those trees far behind the scene can appear once in a sudden or can smoothly appear. So, the smooth appearing is done by anti-aliasing. Turning it off will lower the burden on your graphics card which eventually will enhance the game performance.

If you have less than 2GB graphics card then it is strictly recommended to close anti-aliasing both from Tencent Gaming Buddy and the in-game settings.
And if you have graphics card around 4GB or greater then you can select Balanced or Ultimate but for low-end PC you just have to close anti-aliasing.

Processor

If you have Intel i3 or Pentium then you must always select 2 processors and for PC having Intel i5 you can set it to auto because auto mode will adjust processors itself. The main login is to set the processors to half the logical processors in your PC. But if you want your processor to be at maximum usage you can set it to 4 processors for Intel i3. But at max 2 processor setting is recommended for any lag issues.

DPI –Dots per Inch

This is the unit for mouse sensitivity in Tencent Gaming Buddy. Maximum it’s density the better sensitive your mouse is. DPI can also cause lag to the game because it requires those little mouse sensitivity measurements which at sometimes requires more calculations and ultimately can cause an unwanted lag in your game. If you have a gaming mouse then you might be aware of its DPI at which it can run.

And if you are using any normal mouse like me then you select 160 or 240 DPI which is less in comparison with gaming mouse.

Now coming to Game Settings

Gaming Resolution 

For Low-End PCs it is recommended to put your resolution to SD 720p resolution until you are carrying at least 4 GB good graphics card and if your monitor support so.
As it is recommended by Tencent, you can select 1080p HD graphics for GTX 660 and 2K HD graphics for GTX 1060.

Display Quality

This is the key point which is the major issue for game lag. The default display quality is set to ‘balanced’ but this most of times creates an issue as less automation in low-end PC generates smooth results. So we will keep this setting to ‘Smooth’ which will obviously make your game more smooth and less laggy.

As these settings are perfect to make your game smooth on very low-end PC which sometimes doesn’t meet up the basic PC requirements but I have one more free advice to you. [5 Things to make your PUBG Mobile free from Lag]
