πŸ“± the Evolution of Video

As the definition of #TV becomes increasingly fluid, #mobile has opened additional opportunities to provide viewers with high-quality contentβ€”where they want it, when they want it and how they want it. As of August 2018, mobile phones have become the dominant device for watching online video, surpassing computers and other internet-connected devices.

2019 is shaping up to be an inflection point for video. It is forecasted that mobile will surpass traditional TV entirely as the medium attracting the most entertainment minutes in the US.

🏦 Challenger Banks in the UK

Banking is an unbearably dry topic, except in the UK, where the traditional incumbents are stuck in a pitched battle for survival with a swathe of new app-only β€œchallenger banks.” Without a doubt, the most famous of these is #Monzo. Data from Apptopia paints a rosy picture of the company’s growth, with monthly downloads of the company’s flagship app growing 211% in 12 months and 347% since January 2018.

πŸ“± Top Grossing Google Play Categories in Q1 2019

There are some stark contrasts here with the top iOS grossing categories in Q1 2019. We're all just humans with #smartphones, and yet, how #iOS users and #Android users spend their money on mobile varies so drastically.

Business apps are getting a lot more spend from Android users. Entertainment is still a power category, but definitely less so in North America and Latin America. The most significant drop-off is spending on Social apps. The category is completely gone from the top 10 Google Play picture. Like Social, the Lifestyle category is gone from the top list altogether.

πŸ“± Top Grossing iOS Categories in Q1 2019

Entertainment apps are where consumers are easily convinced to spend their hard earned money. Apps like #Netflix, #Hulu, OZEE, Hotstar provide us entertainment when we're bored or traveling. That this category sits up top is likely not surprising.

🀯 Following up on Yesterday's Polls on Tech Myths

Keeping up with all the ins and outs of technology in this rapidly changing world can be difficult. It’s completely understandable (and unavoidable) for a bit of false information to slip into the conversation here and there. But when misinformation becomes myth, it can persist in the culture for yearsβ€”long after it’s been debunked.

In addition to looking at some popular tech tales people google around the US, HSI also surveyed people about the tech myths they still believe. Read what they found on HighSpeedInternet.

πŸ“Š Post Length on Social Media

Think that #Twitter is the platform where brands keep their character length on the shorter side? Think again!

FACT: Tweets are longer than description text on #Facebook and #Instagram!

A
vulnerability discovered in #WhatsApp is being exploited to inject commercial spyware onto #Android and #iOS phones by simply calling the target - even if you don't pick up.

Once installed, the spyware can turn on a phone’s camera and mic, scan emails and messages, and collect the user’s location data. WhatsApp is urging its 1.5 billion global users to update the app immediately to close the security hole.

The vulnerability exists in the following versions of WhatsApp:
- WhatsApp for Android prior to v2.19.134
- WhatsApp Business for Android prior to v2.19.44
- WhatsApp for iOS prior to v2.19.51
- WhatsApp Business for iOS prior to v2.19.51
- WhatsApp for Windows Phone prior to v2.18.348
- WhatsApp for Tizen prior to v2.18.15
