Android Dark Mode | Try It Today

Have you ever picked up your phone in a dark environment and felt the painful burst of white light in your eyes? Thankfully, Android has decided to remove our pain by offering a dark mode in the newest Android version, i.e., Android Q. People have grown more conscious about the harm caused by staring at screens and the potential disruption of sleep caused by blue light. While some smartphone manufacturers have provided different versions of night mode, a true dark mode was missing on Android devices. The dark theme added by Google in Android pie only changed the background notification shade and app drawer. It did not affect the settings or any apps. In Android Q, we are about to receive a true system-wide dark mode.

To turn on dark mode:
Go to Settings >> Display >>Theme and select Dark.

It changes the backgrounds of all the settings menus and apps like Phone, Contacts, and Photos. It is expected that other apps will work towards compatibility with dark mode.
Google has also included a “Force Dark” option for developers, which automatically converts light backgrounds to darker tones.
Another advantage of the dark mode is that it will reduce battery consumption, particularly in OLED screens, as said in a session at Google I/O.

Google's Fast Share | Sharing Got Easier

Google is working on a new file sharing tool, called ‘Fast Share’, which will allow users to share files to nearby devices without internet. Earlier, google provided the app ‘Android Beam’ to use NFC to transfer files between devices. But it was slow and rarely used. The newer app Fast Share uses Bluetooth to initiate a handshake and then transfers files over a Wi-Fi connection which results in a much faster transfer of files. It also has the options to give your device ‘preferred visibility’ to nearby devices which allow those devices to detect your device when you are nearby.
This app is similar to Apple’s AirDrop technology, enabling the transfer of files among Mac computers and iOS devices. You can access the Fast share option in the sharing sheet. The feature will require access to Bluetooth and a mobile hotspot. Some screenshots are shown for reference.

How to send files by 'fast share' :

Select the files you want to share. Press the send icon to open the sharing sheet, as shown in image 1. Select the 'fast share' option. It will ask permission to access Bluetooth and hotspot. Press allow, and you can share files with any device you connect to. Right now, this feature is available on pixel devices (Android-Q), smartwatches, and Chromebooks.

Looking for DeepNude? First Read Here Before Downloading | DeepNude 2021

 If you are not under the rock or living in the jungle by this time you must have heard about the App DeepNude that strips women's photos in seconds. (Read here how it works). The internet is literally flooded with the news. But hours after the news went viral and got widespread attention within no time the service got shut down ''officially'. (Read here: Why it shutdown). The official website DeepNude.com hosted by DeepNude Team closed down the service saying that, the world is not ready yet for this technology. 

The news does not end here. Though the DeepNude software was closed down officially, the DupeNude team acknowledged that there might be some copies available on the internet. As the app works offline, whoever got a chance to download it before the services closed down can still use the application software.

However,  DeepNude Team made it clear in their website policy that sharing the application by any means or downloading it from any other sources is not legal. Further, the team will not be held responsible if usage of the application attracts any legal action. The user will be solely responsible for the same.

Now, as the application has support for striping only women's images, usage of this software may be considered a potential abuse tool towards them. In some countries creating or morphing anyone's photo without their consent is not legal that could lead anyone to jail with a heavy fine. 

We also should not forget this is the technology we are talking about. There are a hundred minds to replicate software within a very short time. Engineers with good coding knowledge can easily replicate or modify this kind of code once the application is released.

It is reported in the news that a user from Reddit cracked the version to premium. He even released it to the internet and some more copies have been downloaded. Though the link has been removed later on the basis of violating the policy of the hosting site.

Let us talk about the performance of the application. We managed to get one version with premium access when it was launched (before the website was closed down). This is our experience. 
  • The performance of this application is not up to the mark as it is claiming.
  • Photos with someone wearing revealing clothes may give a better result.
  • The output resulted from the photo after morphing is stumped with a watermark of 'fake' in multiple places.
  • Even the premium version of the application that costs $99, does not remove all watermarks. They are still there albeit lesser than the free version.


  • Technically the Neural Network (Artificial Intelligence Technology) is not as strong as you are imagining it to be.
  • The photos are like a photo-shopped version of any image by a novice.

Even before the launch of this app there are hundreds of morphed nude photos of celebrities are available. But as this software was very easy to use and the photos can be undressed easily, misuse of the application and abuse towards women would have been much easier. That is why the maker of this application realized later that it did not deserve to be available on the market of the internet.

Nobody Knows This Instagram Trick


Now for the readers please be aware of the fake websites claiming the software to be available with them and they are asking you to complete some challenges or surveys to download the file. Do not fall trap on those fake websites. There are hundreds of sites opened just after the news has been all over the internet. They are just trying to build up some database or take access to your computer's media file or may access your camera. 

Fake App


To summarize this article:
  • The application is not as good as you are thinking to be.
  • Do not fall trap of fake websites. They may exploit you monetarily claiming they have the application downloadable.
  • Even some people have the copy, its usage violates the policy of the website. 
  • Fake websites may claim that they have .APK files for Android as well. Please note that the DeepNude team only released Windows and Linux versions.
  • Stay aware, stay safe.
  • Let us wait for the world to be ready to handle this kind of application
Updates:
  • There is nothing called DeepNude 2021. DeepNude software was very short-lived. It was closed down right after it was released.
  • The only deepnude version was released for Windows. The team did not get a chance to release DeepNude for the Linux or MAC version. Before making DeepNude available online or on the website Govt banned this application.
  • Except for the few offline copies, there are no DeepNude software available on the internet
  • DeepNude Download is not recommended and might be illegal for individual users.
  • As this software is tagged as illegal to use in few countries DeepNude app is not available
  • DeepNude website: Few websites are available on the internet that simulates the same kind of nudity as seen in DeepNude software.

Warning: This article is for awareness purpose only. It does not promote any website and/or their product or services. This is solely personal opinion of us. We do not sale or ask money for the usage of DeepNude Software or its any version. We do not have a copy available.

DeepNude App Really Shuts Down? | 2021

It is all over the internet that DeepNude application based on Deepfake algorithm can create a nude out of a fully or partially clothed women. But hours after the news got viral, the application and its website are finally shutting down after receiving too much attention. An official tweet made by the team that they realised the world is not yet ready for this kind of application and misuse could be too high to be controlled. 

DeepNude X-ray App


In its official tweet, the team acknowledged that some copies are already available on the internet or to persons who already bought. However, those versions will not be upgraded anymore, and any amount paid to them for the same will be refunded. They further added, they will not be held responsible if somebody downloads any copy of the software from any other sources(or share it by any other means) because it is against their website's policy.
