How to Download Instagram DP in Full Size with Phone or Computer | 2021

Ever wanted to search for someone on Instagram but eventually got frustrated because the account may be private and DP shown in the search results are too small to understand who they really are? Or, at times, you receive a follow request, but you can not recognise the person who sent it because their account is private and the photo in the DP is too small. Or sometimes, you may want to save your own DP or your crush's picture onto your phone. 

Download Instagram DP

At this moment, some tricks to see the Instagram DP in full size may come to your rescue. Now, this article will show you how to download Instagram DP in Full Size.

Trick 1:

This is an evergreen feature of saving any picture from the internet. Except few all websites or applications have this feature available to save the photo by "right-click >> Save image as" option.
  1. Open Instagram.com on your computer web browser.
  2. Search for the name or ID in the Search Tab.
  3. Click on one of the suggestions.
  4. Right-click on the profile picture. Go to the 'Save image as' option and save it. 
If you do not have your computer handy and are using a smartphone, you need to do something tricky. 
  1. Open your phone browser(Chrome or Firefox) in Desktop Mode. (If you do not know how to do it, please follow this link)
  2. Now follow the first part of Trick 1
  3. If opening instagram.com on mobile redirecting you to the installed Instagram App(where you can not download any DP), open the browser in incognito/private mode. This will prevent the browser from being redirected to the installed App.

Trick 2:

  1. Open Instadp.com from your smartphone or computer browser.
  2. Search for the name (or ID if you know).
  3. From the suggestions, click on any ID.
  4. The profile will be opened with a full-size picture of the DP. (At this stage, a 4 seconds Ad may pop up. Do skip it after 4 seconds)
  5. You can download by clicking the 'download' option or by right click >> Save image as' option.
Except for these two methods, there are other websites where you can view DP in full size or download them. To name a few: izuum.com,  wizblogger.com, instadpdownloader.com, etc.

Why LED Cricket Stumps Cost 50 Lakh | Read Here How They Work

Every cricket lover can feel the thrill when bowlers uproot the stumps with their vicious Yorkers. The bails come off, and stumps and bails start glowing. The umpire raises his hand, the batsman is declared out, and he has to walk back to the pavilion. Sounds good?

However, there are certain moments, like run-outs, when it is crucial to know at what moment the bails have been dislodged. During close calls, the decision of batsman being out or not out depends on that. Earlier, the moment of dislodging of bails was decided by the judgment of umpires and that might have resulted in speculations over the decision. But not anymore.
stumps

This blog will give you a technical understanding of what is going on behind this wonderful technique.

Bail
Bronte EcKermann of Zing International came up with a set of stumps and bails which start glowing the moment bails are entirely dislodged from the stumps. This makes it easy for the umpires to take calls in run-out decisions. It is claimed that the sensors react within 1/1000th of a second after they have been dislodged,, thus eliminating chances of any error in judgment.

Light Sensor and LEDs
The circuit of bails contains one light sensor at each end and a LED circuit inside it. When they are placed over the stumps, the light sensor cannot get any light, and hence the LED circuit is incomplete.

The moment they are entirely dislodged, the sensors get light, LED circuit gets completed, and the bails start glowing.
A similar kind of circuit is provided in the stumps as well, but with the light sensor at only one end. Whenever the bails are taken off, the light falls on the sensor and stumps the light up.

While the Zing wickets look pretty elegant and help in better decision-making, they are pretty costly. Each system of wickets and bails used in international games costs about Rs. 25 lakhs. So no more taking home stumps after winning the match!

Generic comparisons between different mobile chipsets | 2021

While buying cellphones, we often get confused while choosing between the different types of processors manufactured by different brands.

Snapdragon Symbol
We often wonder which will be the best buy at a given budget, what parameters we should compare to make a verdict. Let us see some of the crucial parameters based on selecting a processor that suits your need and does not burn a hole in your pocket. 

Clock Speed

This is one of the most fundamental aspects to look at in a processor. It refers to the frequency at which one core of the CPU is running and can be used as a benchmark to judge the processor's speed. It is indicated in GigaHertz (GHz).
Kirin Chipset
At this point, we can say; higher the clock speed faster is the processor. For example, Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 offers a clock speed of 2.0GHz, Kirin 970 by Huawei provides clock speeds up to 2.4GHz, Samsung Exynos 9610 runs at 2.3 GHz and so on.
Number of Cores
Next, we can draw comparisons by checking the number of cores provided in the CPU. CPUs with multiple cores can run multiple programs with greater ease. However, all cores are not the same. Often in multi-core processors, some cores are provided for carrying out a high-performance task, and a few are energy-efficient cores for running ordinary programs. It is to be noted that most of the applications cannot make use of multiple cores properly. Hence while choosing a processor, one  shall
Mediatek
look for the performance of single-core as well. For example, the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 675, an octa-core processor is equipped with two cortex-A76 processors (Kryo 460 gold), which is the performance core and is clocked at 2.0 GHz. The other six processors are cortex -A55 (Kryo 460 Silver), which are meant for day-to-day tasks and consume lower power than the A76 cores, resulting in increased battery life. Similarly, Huawei Kirin 970 has four Cortex -A73 processors clocked at 2.4GHz and four cortex A-53 processors clocked at 1.8 GHz. MediaTek Helio P70 comes with four Cortex-A73 cores clocked at 2.1Ghz and power-efficient Cortex-A53 cores at 2.0Ghz.
*Cortex-A76 is the successor of Cortex-A75 and Cortex-A73 and has better performance than the latter one.
GPU (Graphics Processing Unit)
It handles the visual rendering elements of a phone display and decides the gaming performance of a processor. Essential aspects of GPU are its clock speed, maximum display resolution supported by GPU, and the fabrication technology, i.e., the thickness of the chip on which it is fabricated (mentioned in nm). 
GPU image
The most common GPU's used in smartphones is Adreno from Qualcomm, ARM Mali, and Power VR. Let's take an example of Adreno 612 and Mali-G72 MP3 GPU. Both have a clock speed of 850MHz. However, the Adreno 612 is fabricated on 14nm technology compared to the 16nm technology of Mali-G72 MP3. Hence, Adreno 612 has a slight edge in performance over the latter one.


Modem
This determines the maximum download and upload speeds supported by the processor and is usually mentioned in Mbps. Moreover, it decides the Wi-fi and Bluetooth connectivity supports. For example, Qualcomm snapdragon 675 houses the X12 LTE modem, which has a maximum download speed of 600Mbps (Cat 12) and maximum upload speed of 150Mbps (Cat 13). For Wi-Fi, it supports 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi standard with a peak speed of 867Mbps. For Bluetooth, it can support Bluetooth 5.0 technology. We will take a look at another standard chipset, MediaTek Helio P70. It has a peak download speed of 300Mbps (Cat 7) and an upload speed of 150Mbps (Cat 13). It supports Bluetooth 4.2.
Manufacturing Process
In general, fabrication on a thinner chip provides faster performance to the CPU. Hence a processor fabricated on an 11nm chip will have the edge over a chip manufactured on a 12nm chip.
Above are the significant parameters based on which you can decide which CPU to go for while buying smartphones. There are some other parameters like RAM speed and camera support, which in most cases can be taken as the higher, the better. And last but not least, the price matters a lot. Sometimes with a slight compromise in performance, you can get a significant price difference. So, consider all these factors while buying a smartphone to get a device that can fulfill your requirements.

WhatsApp is Finally Addressing its Biggest Issue | 2021

With a hopping of 2 Bn active monthly users, Facebook founder Zuckerberg-owned WhatsApp is regularly updating its interface and making it more end-user-friendly. The instant messaging app was initially founded by Brian Acton and Jan Koum, the two former employees of Yahoo!. Though it was based out of the USA, currently, it has a huge user base worldwide. Except for few countries like China, Iran, Turkey, and Brazil, this app is accessible from most of the countries.


In the year of 2014, this company was acquired by Facebook for approximately 19.3 Bn USD. Though initially, the update curve was a little flat, currently the app is getting updated very frequently. Recently we just learned about the disappearing mode in WhatsApp, which is already rolled out in its Beta version for testing.

WhatsApp already released the latest version(2.21.12.21) on the Play Store and the Apple store. This version is rolled out and this lets the users control the speed of the received or sent audio. You can listen to the received voice message at 1x, 1.5x, and 2x speed.


Enough talking! Let us get back to the Title of the post.

WhatsApp is reportedly working on the feature where it will let the users select the video quality before sending it. Yes, you heard it right. It was really a pain in the arse if you wanted to share any video with your expected quality as WhatsApp like any other app used to compress the same to the lowest quality. Though this feature is initially coming to be applicable for the videos only, we are hoping that the feature will be ported to images and GIFs too.

The version of WhatsApp where this feature will be rolled is not out in the news yet. Stay tuned to get that information. 

WABetaInfo also shared some more information about the customized format in which the videos can be sent. They are described below-
Auto (recommended): WhatsApp will detect what is the best compression algorithm for specific videos.
Best quality: WhatsApp will always send the video using the best quality available!
Data saver: When Data saver is enabled in your Android settings, WhatsApp will compress videos before sending them.

8 WhatsApp Tips That Exist Which You Might Not Know

In this article, we are going to tell you about 7 WhatsApp Tips(or Tricks) which exist that you might not know. Sounds silly! Are you thinking that you have nothing new to know about this simple instant messaging application! Well, let us roll the dice then. Just read this article and let us know which one you were already using and which ones are the latest for you.


1. Listen to the audio silently:

Somebody sent you a voice message and you do not have your earpiece or headphone handy. Do not worry you can still listen to that audio message silently without disturbing others' peace. Hit the play button on the received audio and quickly hold the phone in your ear(as if you are talking over the phone). The received audio file will now be playing on the phone speaker and not on the loudspeaker.


2. Listen to the audio at different speeds:

The latest version of WhatsApp that is available in the Play Store is 2.21.12.21. This version has the feature of controlling the speed of the received audio. You can listen to the received voice message at 1x, 1.5x, and 2x speed. The limitation of this feature is that it is not applicable to the forwarded audio messages. Only the speed of voice messages that are directly sent or received can be controlled from both the sender's end the receiver's end.

3. Download Status(es):

This seems to be ethically wrong to download somebody else's status without their consent. Then again there are some contents in the statuses like memes and funny videos that can be downloaded and nobody would mind that. Keeping that consent and permissions aside let us learn how can we download somebody else's statuses. For this, you need to have a 'Files' application by Google. Most Android phones will be having this app installed. Follow this path to access and download the statuses, Files >> Internal Storage >> WhatsApp >> Media >> .Statuses. To know in detail please go through this article.



4. Starred message:

Thousands of lines of messages to and from so many different contacts. But some messages may be important to you and you want to find them later. You do not want to memorize those messages and search and do not want to lose them either. This tip will surely come in handy for you. Long press on the message(any kind of message e.g. audio, video, GIFs). Few options will appear on the top bar. Click on the STAR symbol and the message(s) will be starred. Now, later at some point when you need to look for the important messages just open the profile of the person. You can see the starred messages along with the other regular information on the contact card.

You can even access the starred messages from the three dots on the top-right corner(open WhatsApp >> three dots on the top-right corner).

5. Payments:

Yes, it is not a typo. You read it right. Like any other UPI-based apps WhatsApp has its own UPI payment method. You can register and create a UPI through WhatsApp and use that for transferring money from or to your near and dear ones. Open WhatsApp >> top-right corner 3 dots >> Payments >> Add payment method >> continue then add your bank details.

6. Highlight Text:

Would you like to write some text in an interesting way, like strikethrough, or bold or italic?
Use ~text~ for striking through the text.
Use *text* for, asking the text in bold format.
Use _text_ to make the text italic.


7. WhatsApp Bubble:

Did you like the messenger feature of chat heads or bubbleheads? Are missing the same feature in WhatsApp? No worry! You are just a step away from doing that. Just install any BubbleWhatsApp app from the play store, sync it with your WhatsApp, and Voila! You are good to go.


8. Keyboard Shortcuts: 
If you are using web.whatsapp.com on your PC then the below shortcuts will be very useful for you.
