A list of useful tech info

For Zoom haters: here’s the good news. JioMeet is completely free and has some nifty extras. Example: You can log in on up to five devices, and you can seamlessly switch between devices while on a call. Gizbot offers the most useful review.

For Google Photos users: Please be advised that the Android version has stopped automatically backing up photos on WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger on to your cloud. The reason: People are sharing way too many photos during the pandemic, and the company is trying to "save internet resources." The good news: you can still manually enable auto-backup like so.

For lovebirds on Spotify: The company’s new Premium Duo package allows two people who share the same bed (or flat) to also share a subscription. And it is now available in India for Rs 149/ month. TechCrunch looks at whether this is a good deal.

For meme lovers: A new startup Koji is aiming to become the TikTok of memes—allowing users to customize memes, selfies, and web games using GIFs, audio clips etc. This is handy for both bored teenagers and brands looking to up their Insta game at zero cost.
