Google Launches Triangle App That Will Help You Earn And Save Mobile Data

There are few countries around the world, where users don’t need to worry about the mobile data consumption because of unlimited tariffs. However, there are countries where users still get limited data packages and have to manage mobile data efficiently.   Google Launches Triangle App  That Will Help You Earn And Save Mobile Data
Our lives are becoming more connected, users are using more and more apps on their Android devices which demand more data. To sort out this issue, Google had begun testing a new app which goes by the name ‘Triangle’





The Triangle app from Google is in beta phase and currently being tested in the Philippines. This app acts as a data saver and it can block apps that are consuming mobile data and let users earn bonus data.

Google says “Triangle is a new app being tried out in the Philippines that helps you better manage your data usage and block unwanted background data,”
Triangle app lets users see how much data they have left, see what apps are using that data and also let users restrict data usage on a per-app basis. Users can also set up a time limit for any specific app to use mobile data.
As we already said that this app is in beta phase and currently being tested in the Philippines, the app allows users to score bits of data as a reward for trying out apps. The reward system is being tested with Smart and Globe prepaid users in the Philippines where users are rewarded for using the apps that are recommended by Google.
Triangle app is not the only attempt from Google to manage data usage. Google has announced a Data saver mode in its Chrome browser that can save up to 70% of your mobile data while browsing. Users can enable it in Android by going through Settings>Data saver.

HYUNDAI BLUE LINK TO DEBUT SMARTWATCH APP

HYUNDAI BLUE LINK TO DEBUT SMARTWATCH APP

Smartwatch sales are skyrocketing and starting early in 2015 Hyundai owners will be able to connect with their cars using these wearable devices and the Hyundai Blue Link® smartwatch app. Hyundai will debut and demonstrate the Blue Link smartwatch app at Pepcom’s Digital Experience and at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES®). Pepcom’s Digital Experience takes place before CES on Jan. 5 and Hyundai’s exhibit (North Hall, booth #2818) at CES will be open Jan. 6-9, 2015. Hyundai’s cloud-based Blue Link platform allows features like remote start and service information to be quickly accessed through devices like smartwatches and smartphones. Hyundai partnered with Station Digital Media to develop the Blue Link smartwatch app.
“This new app expands Hyundai’s exploration into how wearable technology and Blue Link fit into a customer’s lifestyle,” said Barry Ratzlaff, executive director, customer connect and service business development, Hyundai Motor America. “Connecting to your car through a smartwatch and voice recognition was previously something seen only in science fiction movies. Now, we can provide this capability to owners of Hyundai vehicles equipped with Blue Link.”
The app is easy to use. The wearer simply taps an icon or uses voice commands to execute remote functions. The Blue Link smartwatch app allows Hyundai owners to remote start, lock and unlock doors as well as find their car in a crowded parking lot. Pushing the microphone icon on the watch activates the voice function, where the driver can execute commands such as “Start my car,” “Lock my car” or “Find my car.”
The Blue Link smartwatch app must be paired via Bluetooth to an owner’s smartphone that contains the Blue Link mobile app. Remote functions can then be executed from almost anywhere in the U.S. as long as the user’s smartphone has a Bluetooth and cellular or Internet connection. Hyundai representatives will be demonstrating the Blue Link smartwatch app on Samsung, Motorola, Sony and LG smartwatches. Android Wear users can download the app from Google Play for free starting in the first quarter of 2015.
The Blue Link smartwatch app works with first and next generation Blue Link equipped Hyundai models. The first generation Blue Link system rolled out on the 2012 Sonata and expanded across the lineup through 2013. Next generation Blue Link equipped models include the 2015 Genesis, Sonata and Azera. The smartwatch app provides all Blue Link users, including first generation owners, with even more freedom of choice when interacting with their Hyundai.
