iOS 14 update release date, devices and everything you need to know

Tracking the iOS 14 update as news trickles in It may feel like iOS 13 only debuted yesterday, but that came out in September 2019 and we're set to get iOS 14 by the end of this year. The next big update for your iPhone is currently just rumored for now - Apple has yet to specifically confirm the name for the next piece of software - but it's very likely we'll be hearing officially about it soon.

"Diya uses Google's text-to-speech and speech recognition technology to detect if a student is struggling or successfully reading the passage," explains Google engineer Zohair Hyder in a    blog post . "She gives them positive and reinforcing feedback along the way, just as a parent or teacher would," says Hyder. "Children can also tap Diya at any time for help pronouncing a wor

Zoom admits lying about user numbers

Video conferencing service had claimed 300 million daily active users a month Zoom has come under fire after reportedly over-stating the amount of people using its service. The popular video conferencing platform had claimed it had “more than 300 million daily users” in a blog post earlier this month, but quietly changed this figure shortly after. According to The Verge, Zoom later edited this post, deleting the original wording and changing it to “300 million daily Zoom meeting participants” instead. Zoom updates As The Verge notes, the difference between a daily active user (DAU) and “meeting participant” is a big one, and means Zoom could have greatly over-stated the popularity of its service.Zoom appeared to count daily meeting participants multiple times, meaning that if you took part in several Zoom meetings in one day, the company counted you more than once - whereas a DAU is only counted once each per day. Other software providers, including Zoom rivals such
