Apple kicked off its 2024 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) with a keynote broadcast live from Apple Park to millions of viewers worldwide. During this keynote, the tech giant revealed some new, ground-breaking features and technologies for the Apple ecosystem. Developers and students attending the week-long event will have exclusive access to Apple professionals and gain knowledge of new tools, frameworks, and features to help them improve their apps and games.

In this year’s Apple keynote, “AI”, Apple Intelligence, was introduced. It is a personal intelligence system that blends the power of generative models with the users’ own personal context with the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, delivering highly relevant and valuable intelligence output. Along with the significant changes for iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, ChatGPT in Siri, and watchOS 11, there are new ways for users to express themselves and customize their devices. Moreover, Apple will do the largest-ever revamp of the Photos app to keep pace with their arch-rivals.

Top 11 Highlights from Apple’s 2024 WWDC Keynote Event

Apple’s 2024 WWDC Keynote Event

  • Apple Intelligence

Apple is harnessing the potential of generative models and how Apple Intelligence might improve its current software. Actions across apps will be possible, such as tasks being completed without interruption on your behalf. The company also unveiled Apple Intelligence privacy safeguards and Private Cloud Compute to give customers more control over their data. 

With capabilities like tone adjustments, rewriting, summary, and editing, Apple Intelligence may also assist you with proofreading and writing your emails and other documents. Additionally, there will be a smart reply option. Emails will also have summaries and a priority message indicator.

  • iOS 18

iOS 18, the upcoming iPhone operating system, will sport a new dark design and enable users to access customization options such as color tinting and more. However,  the most significant update will be to the control center, which is getting a makeover and will be open to outside developers.

Users can resize and modify apps and its positioning on the home screen, change the lock screen’s settings, reprogram the action button, and access additional functions through a new controls gallery. Additional privacy-protecting features in iOS app development include the ability to lock or even hide an app, preventing its contents from appearing elsewhere. Furthermore, you can limit or lock access to contacts and accessories.

Some app changes in iOS 18

Photos — With the biggest redesign ever for the Photos application, Apple is introducing new smart collections, a carousel, organizational features like recent days, and screenshot sorting. Moreover, with Apple Intelligence, you can easily create AI images. 

Map — New topographic maps, hiking routes, and national parks are included on the map.

Wallet — The “Tap to cash” feature, which allows users to share cash without disclosing other private information and event tickets, is getting a new look and additional capabilities.

Messages — Users can schedule messages to be sent later and tap back with any emoji or sticker within conversations. Additional tech formats, like strike-through and italics, may be applied to any text and other messages app options.

  • MacOS Sequoia

The Sequoia operating system also includes several new features. One continuity feature is “iPhone mirroring,” which enables iPhone notifications to appear alongside Mac notifications. However, the iPhone will remain locked, preventing anyone from seeing the replicated content.

Safari updates include profiles and translations. Additionally, Apple is launching Highlights, which uses machine learning to identify and highlight relevant content while surfing. A revamped Reader function that allows video viewing has also been included as their distraction-free alternative. 

Plus, more sophisticated Mac games are on the way. Ubisoft has confirmed the Mac version of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which will be released later this year.

  • iPadOS 18

Many of the improvements for iPad app development will be similar to those revealed for iOS 18, including smart script, modifications to the Freeform app, and finally, the calculator app coming to iPad. Additionally, they unveiled Math Notes, a tool that uses the Apple Pencil to incorporate mathematical operations into written notes, and provide renditions like graphical, etc.

  • WatchOS 11 

With the most recent software update for the Apple Watch, you can expect a revamped watch face, an enhanced smart stack, and additional functions to support your active lifestyle and health tracking.

Additional insights will be available, and you can modify the summary tab and your goals each day of the week. Apple has also released a new Vitals app. Moreover, machine learning can assist you in selecting the ideal photo from your Photos app for your watch face.

  • VisionOS 2

Apple unveiled the first significant software upgrade for the Vision Pro device, Vision OS 2. The updates include train support in travel mode, hand gestures to access notifications on the Mac virtual display or open the home menu, and changes for photos and videos. 

Users can use photos on their camera roll to create a spatial photo and share their panorama experiences with other users. Apple claims to make it easier for users to produce spatial content and record spatial video for its immersive video feature. Additionally, Canon will build a new lens for Vision Pro that makes it possible to record spatial video.

  • Apple’s New Passwords App 

It was more complicated, but you can already use your iCloud account to store and sync passwords across your devices. At the 2024 WWDC Apple event, the company released a new app. One of the improvements is a new column on the left that makes browsing your password collection easier. For example, you may view all of your passwords, even your Wi-Fi passwords (a recent addition), passkeys, and codes that have nothing to do with a website or service.  

  • ChatGPT in Siri

With the help of OpenAI’s GPT-4 and other generative AI models, Apple is integrating ChatGPT, its AI-powered chatbot experience, into Siri and other Apple apps. Apple has also made some improvements to Siri for a more interactive experience, including adding specific generative AI features that give Siri a more natural and personalized touch. Additionally, Siri can better able to comprehend context and manage voice stumbles.

  • Apple TV+

For those who subscribe to Apple TV+, InSight is a new feature. It lets viewers learn song titles and actor names as they appear on the screen. What makes InSight unique is its Shazam-like ability to identify the music currently playing in a TV show or movie and allow users to add it to an Apple Music playlist for later listening.

  •  Home and Audio

Improve dialogue and subtitles, elevate cinematic experiences, and improve with new tools like Apple Fitness+, Apple Music, and FaceTime with tvOS 18. With iOS 18, the home app gets features that make home access easy and safe with smart AI assistants and features such as guest access and hands-free unlocking with home keys. 

Updates to the AirPods software will change how users interact with Siri by introducing new gestures, allowing them to make and take calls with friends and family and play their favorite games.

  • Genmoji

Apple intelligence will also help emoji. Natural search language can be used to construct these emojis in communications across various themes, concepts, accessories, locations, and more.

Apart from messaging, the Genmoji will be accessible in the Keynote, Pages, and Freeform applications. An Image Wand will also be accessible in the Notes app’s tool palette. A brand-new app called Image Playground will also be available.

Final Thoughts

At WWDC, Apple introduced 11 exciting updates, significantly enhancing its ecosystem. These updates showcase Apple’s commitment to innovation and improving user experience across all its devices. If you have any next-gen iOS app ideas, consult our iOS app developers to bring your vision to life.

An ISO:9001  NASSCOM recognized IT firm in Noida, We have indulged in the work from home culture for more than a year now. We have put a particular emphasis on its approach to deal with the healthcare-related challenges faced by professionals working with them. We ensured laying off no one when Coronavirus was at its peak and companies were facing financial downfalls.

In this sequence, the free vaccination drive is an initiative taken by us to help everyone associated with them vaccinate themselves and their dependents. We have taken such initiatives in the past as well. For instance, We had launched a Startup Care Fund where we allocated $100K and offered free digital marketing services to help enterprises facing issues in engaging new customers.

In another instance of our proactive & precautionary approach for dealing with healthcare issues, the company made it mandatory for every professional to avail health insurance policy.

We had launched mental fitness activities to keep their professionals mentally fit.

In 2020, we hired 110 new professionals, got 183 new customers, and accomplished 450 projects. Such insight provides us a thought that the company ensured doing every little thing that could keep the spirit of their professionals high.

Our company CEO Vikash Sharma says that the main objective of launching a free vaccination drive is to spread awareness about being vaccinated and keeping everyone associated with them along with their dependents safe and healthy.

A mother is the first teacher of every human being. We learn and grow to become someone we would dream to be. They teach us values, manners and provide us with an understanding of choosing between right and wrong all through our lives. It is one of the best realizations of women’s role in building our society.

From running a company of thousands, playing a crucial role in managing a space mission, performing duties as a working professional to become a country’s constitutional head, women have inspired millions with their charismatic contributions to humankind, something worth being called superwomen.

Sustainable development could only be possible if men and women were given equal opportunities. As a notion, gender equality has been among the most significant topics of discussion on the global scale. By empowering women and cherishing their potential, the world may become a happier place for humankind.

Education is indeed the foremost asset required to build a strong nation. By educating women, we will not only provide them the opportunities they deserve but also step forward to make our society, city, nation, and world more peaceful and progressive.

We at Sparx have always believed in giving equal opportunities to everyone regardless of their genders, castes, creeds, or race. We have always tried to be the strongest pillar in the career of every superwoman contributing their skills and knowledge to our growth.

Women at Sparx are…

  • Helping the organization accomplishing the vision to get the best talent aboard with us.
  • Using their technological expertise to help us create futuristic software solutions.
  • Leading the organization to sustain an identity of a credible service provider using next-level skills i.e. content development, graphic designing, business development & marketing.
  • Conveying our achievement and accreditation to the audience who might be interested in partnering with us.

We are wholeheartedly thankful to each one of them for their efforts and contributions for leading us this far.

On this international women’s day, we made an attempt to recognize our women professionals’ thoughts and experiences to our social media audience through #SparxSuperWomen campaign. We requested them to record a short video where they could share their experiences, thoughts, opinions, or suggestions on things as working professionals.

We take pride in saying that we received a positive response from all the team members and they shared some of their videos the very next day. We are delighted to share their thoughts with you.

We wish every woman a very happy International Women’s Day!!

Ever since India’s COVID-19 Bluetooth-contact tracing app; Aarogya Setu was launched, it has been breaking records and making headlines around the globe. From becoming the world’s fastest app to reach 50 million downloads in the first two weeks to become the world’s first government product to get open-sourced at this scale, Aarogya Setu has caught the attention of the technology industry.

Being an active contributor to the IT industry from the past 12 years, the Sparx IT Solutions team cannot stop themselves from praising the incredible initiative by the Government of India amid this period of the health crisis.

Since its launch, the Government is receiving reviews regarding the security threat in the app and how the data of 100 million Indians are at stake. Although the developers of the Aarogya Setu app have turned down every accusation with sufficient proofs every time.

Finally, after 40 days, the makers decided to give the top technical brains a chance to inspect the source code and come out with solutions to eliminate the security risks. The source code was released on 26 May on GitHub (an online code repository) for all the developers.

After the Aarogya Setu code got open-sourced, French Security Researcher Elliot Alderson wrote on Twitter, “This is a very positive news and I’m very happy that the Indian government took this direction. Now, we would like to see what is happening on the server side.”

Instead of analyzing the pros and cons of making the source code public, let us celebrate the confidence and determination of the Government of India. With this decision, the makers have stood true to the three principles of Aarogya Setu; transparency, privacy, and security.

Besides being an application with a size of 115 million and support to 11 languages, Aarogya Setu has high-etch functions and applications that are helping India to fight against the COVID attack.

In this blog, you can find out everything about this app as we are going to resolve the following common queries about Aarogya Setu:

  • Why was Aarogya Setu launched?
  • How does the Aarogya Setu app work?
  • What are the features of the Aarogya Setu app?
  • Is Aarogya Setu app Safe?
  • What is the future of the Aarogya Setu App?

Common Queries About Aarogya Setu

A Comprehensive Guide on Aarogya Setu App

Why was the Aarogya Setu app launched?

Before the start of the second countrywide lockdown due to the outbreak of the pandemic, the Aarogya Setu app was launched. The Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi advised the citizens to use this app during his announcement for Lockdown 2.0.

The core motive of the Aarogya Setu app is to spread awareness about COVID-19 among Indians and connect COVID-19 health-related services. It is a contact tracing app that guides the citizens on coronavirus precautions and suspects.

pasted-image

In order to track the coronavirus infection, Bluetooth and GPS features of smartphones are accessed by the app. Both Android and iOS mobile app versions are available for people. It scans the known cases and indicates the risk of new cases in your area with Bluetooth tracing.

How does the Aarogya Setu app work?

As mentioned in the last answer, it uses the Bluetooth feature of the smartphone to identify risks around your area. It identifies them as hotspots and maps them to curb the problem of community transmission.

With the use of geo tagging, this app alerts a user about a suspected case in their proximity. This helps Indians in keeping themselves safe and take necessary precautions according to the risks around their area. In order to understand the complete work process of the app, we are describing the four sections of the app below:

4 sections of Aarogya Setu App

4 sections of-Arogya-Setu App

User Status:

Under this section, the user is informed about the risk of getting COVID-19. The hotspots are identified to notify users about a nearby area where a person is at high risk for the infection. It is traced up to the proximity of 10 km.

Media:

In this section, the latest COVID-19 related videos and articles are shared. This section includes videos under heads: celebrity videos, positive harmonies, learning center, how to boost immunity, advice from a doctor, what will the app do, and trending videos. Apart from these videos, guidelines for Air passengers can also be downloaded from this section.

COVID-19 Updates:

The app gives updates on coronavirus cases in the nation as well as all over the world. Confirmed, recovered, and deceased are the three categories under which the cases are presented. It keeps users informed about the latest number of COVID patients state wise in India.

e-Pass integration:

The e-pass which shows QR code will be available on the app. This e-Pass will only appear in this app if the person has applied for it according to the government rules. Aarogya Setu app does not have a feature for applying for this pass.

The QR code stores information about the user and their nature of work. It also stores other related information like pass validity, company name, etc. With this section, this app has become the primary facilitator for travel across the nation.

What are the features of the Aarogya Setu app?

Aarogya Setu app was launched with limited features to curb the spread of COVID-19. But with the passage of time, in the span of one month, many other features with regular updates in the Aarogya Setu app. Here are a few features described in detail:

Self Assessment:

A self-assessment test begins after you download the app. Users are asked for Symptoms like cough, breathing difficulty, fever, etc. After this, symptom checkers ask about ailments like diabetes, heart diseases, lung diseases, etc. Under general information, foreign travel history of the past 14 days and contact with a COVID-19 positive person is also asked.

Things to do next:

This comes under the “your Status” section. Below “your risk of infection”, you can click on “things to do next” button to check the Aarogya Setu app’s advice. Under this head, steps for social distancing are explained along with the PDF files on how to stay safe.

Donate to PM Cares:

The Aarogya Setu App allows users to donate via the PM Cares website. Under your status section, the link is provided for easy access to the website. PM cares is an emergency situation relief fund launched by the Prime Minister of India.

Privacy FAQs:

With the constant accusations of privacy-related concerns of the app, this section was added. It answers the basic questions like, “why does this app collect GPS info?” Or “how long is the info stored on my mobile phone?”. These FAQs help users to trust the app and clear all their doubts related to its privacy.

Helpline number:

On the home screen, the “call helpline” button is provided which can be used by users to ask questions about the COVID-19. Over the call., the users share their inputs and experts’ advice about the next steps.

Useful resources:

IMCR approved labs are listed for COVID-19 testing facilities. It allows users to take quick action in case they have any symptom or travel history of foreign countries’ visit. Under the head of useful resources, FAQs related to Aarogya Setu are also provided to help users with app usage.

Is Aarogya Setu App Safe?

The privacy of the Aarogya Setu app has been questioned again and again. After the app’s launch, French Security expert wrote on social media “I installed the app and I have one hour in front of me, let’s see what I can find”

In the next two hours, he informed app makers that he has access to information. This was later resolved by the developers. But the security concerns and accusations still exist. Following which the government open-sourced its code.

To provide you better clarity, here are some facts about the privacy of Aarogya Setu App:

  • Aarogya Setu does not disclose the health condition or COVID-19 status of a person to other users. It is only used for medical purposes and users’ information is safe in their server.
  • The contact and location information of a user gets permanently deleted from the Aarogya Setu server after 45 days in case the user is not tested positive for COVID and in 60 days if the user gets tested positive for COVID-19.
  • Aarogya Setu server assigns a unique device identification number (DiD) which is used for further interactions.
  • Hence, for further communication, no personal information is used. This keeps the users’ data anonymous.
  • The GPS information is collected to trace the path of an infected person so that authorities can sanitize the area. It is only used for taking measures on time.
  • All the information shared via the Aarogya Setu app is protected under the Advanced Encryption Standard.
  • The end-to-end testing of the app is done by tech audits multiple times to ensure your information is secure.
  • For further confirmation on privacy, the government has released the source code of the app and announced rewards for the one who discovers the security vulnerabilities and fixes them.

What is the future of the Aarogya Setu App?

Since its launch, the Aarogya Setu app has been making news headlines. After 45 days, there is speculation that the government will soon launch a wearable device like a wrist band. This device will be connected to the Aarogya Setu app.

It will help in detecting the symptoms as well as the movements of users. With the constant addition of features in the Aarogya Setu app, it is becoming one of the world’s first and most used COVID contact tracing apps.

In a nutshell

Despite facing security accusations, the Government of India has shown the courage to open-source the Aarogya Setu app code. The motive behind its launch is still served impeccably. Finally, the complete tech industry is invited to make the Aarogya Setu app a robust and secure technology solution for India’s fight against COVID.

Aarogya Setu has become much more than a tool to spread awareness about the coronavirus pandemic among the citizens. Today, traveling, healthcare services, and national integrity is well-supported by this COVID contact tracing app!

Being an IT industry veteran, Sparx IT Solutions is amazed to see the brilliance of tech experts who created this app. The Indian techies have done an extraordinary job and inspired every industry participant including us. Kudos to their hard work!

When the unprecedented pandemic shook industries around the globe, the Sparx IT Solutions team ensured it was working with 100% efficiency immediately after the crisis broke out. The deliveries of our services were as smooth as they were during the pre-COVID-19 period.

We successfully managed to make sure there were no pay cuts or layoffs for our employees during the ongoing economic slowdown. In fact, we strove to support our employees as well as fellow businesses.

We admit that we were busy delivering optimum quality to our clients, supporting other businesses to overcome the challenging period through our Startup Care Fund, and maintaining the usual work process for our employees.

Apart from all this, we also admit that we missed out on something highly crucial. With the experience of more than 12 years, we have understood that everyone who joins us during our journey becomes an indispensable part of our family.

It took time for us to act on these realizations. In the course of our struggle to keep moving when the global trade came to a standstill and a major slump in cash flows were being observed, we forgot to check on our family which is no longer connected with us under formal contracts.

Our extended family; the contributors to Sparx IT Solutions in the past, “Ex-Sparxians” deserve the equal efforts of care and support amid these challenging times. Hence, we decided to come forward and stand by Ex-Sparxians who are facing the worst impacts of the downturn in the global economy.

Being industry veterans, we realized our potential and strength amid this crisis. We have achieved an incredible amount of wealth in terms of experience, affinity, and reliability through this industry. It is time to return and share our resources with the industry members and contribute our part to the business ecosystem.

We did our best for the Startups and small businesses with the Startup Care Fund. Today, we promise to do our best to make Ex-Sparxians believe that even if we are not related through corporate papers; we are related through our past and hard work.

In the midst of the ongoing COVID crisis, whether ex-Sparxians have been laid off from the last company or suffering losses in their own business; we assure to extend our support to all of them.

We will leave no stone unturned to either find a full-time or temporary contractual opportunity for them with Sparx IT Solutions until their struggles in contemporary situations are reduced. Moreover, we assure you to extend our support by finding suitable work opportunities through our network of companies that are growing strong year by year.

If you are an ex-employee of Sparx IT Solutions and struggling to survive in this crisis then contact us through this form. In this form, we have asked simple and important details about your tenure with Sparx IT Solutions and the journey after leaving us. You can indicate your preferred work relation with us to ease your struggles.

Dear ex-Sparxian, You.Are.Our.Family! Sparx IT Solutions is not going to leave you stranded in these toughest times. We are here for you like we always were.

We, as a team, pledge – “No Sparx IT solutions family member will suffer in silence”.

Along with a major impact on the health sector, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought with it a coronavirus-induced recession. The abrupt decline in international trade, sink in tourism and a slump in commodity prices have mired the global economy severely. The global recession seems inevitable right now.

As the crisis is deepening, the stock exchange indexes are witnessing a steady fall for the past four months of 2020. Nikkei, Dow Jones, and FTSE; the stock average of three major economies of the world; Japan, London, and the USA respectively; can be seen getting plunged in the graph below.

The world economy was already at stake for a long time. The IMF warning in October, last year, against a synchronized economic slowdown in 90% of countries seems to get worse this year amid the corona crisis.

The degree of impact varies for different industries. There might be chances that by the time we come out of our houses, we will not see the small businesses like restaurants, gyms, salons operating like before.

According to the surveys, during the corona crisis, 24% of small businesses have shut down temporarily and 40% are likely to get closed in the USA. In a nutshell, 70% of the small businesses have got closed or can get closed in the upcoming weeks.

These stats send chills down the entrepreneurs’ spine. Government programs might not be enough to revive these endangered businesses. Not only as a humanitarian but also as an economically aware person, we all know that we do need small businesses.

The millions of Startups were not meant to get shut just because a virus went viral around the globe! If you are a Startup owner or an employee at startup; then know that the world needs you to operate. We need you to continue in between and after the COVID crisis goes away.

The good news for us is that the avenues of digital marketing are still functional. We can explore the potential of social media and search engine branding strategies amid the corona crisis. This will need digital marketing experts’ assistance but do not worry, we are not suggesting you hire them.

Since these are the most challenging times for Startups, Sparx IT Solutions has launched a pandemic relief worth $100K under the name; “Startup Care Fund”, to provide these services. You must be thinking about the cost of these services. We wanted to do something which is beyond the scope of monetary help. So, these are completely free of cost.

Our digital marketing services will help to restore the value, functionality, and growth of your startups. In our services, we are including social media marketing, search engine optimization, content marketing, web development, etc. You can avail of these services if you were using digital marketing services prior to the corona crisis and unable to establish the continuity.

Our motive is not to donate anything. We are aiming to increase our family size by giving what we know the best amid the worldwide economic crisis. Moreover, there is no point in donating money when you have services. If you or any of your acquaintances are interested in availing our Startup Care Fund then please make sure to apply through this form

We welcome every applicant which/who has been severely affected by the Corona crisis. For any queries reach out to us through the comments section. Also, share about this initiative as much as possible because this may or may not be helpful for you but it can create a great deal of difference in the life of someone else. Let’s save every Startup that is on the verge of getting closed. Pray and act promptly!
