Truecaller unveiled TrueSDK which enables third party apps to easily on-board users with their Truecaller profile and their Truecaller verified phone number. This service can be used by developers to sign up, update a user’s information or purely verify the user’s phone number based identity in their mobile apps through user consent. Available to registered third party apps & currently Android only, this feature is launched with 12 partners who have on-boarded to simplify the app on-boarding and user verification process. Some of our esteemed partners include India’s popular apps namely Quikr, Mobikwik, redBus, CarDekho, BharatMatrimony, ixigo, OYO Rooms, TO THE NEW Digital, FreshMenu, Terraa, Cash CareShopClues

Nami Zarringhalam, Chief Strategy Officer & Co-founder of Truecaller said

At Truecaller, our mission has always been to provide as much information as possible to users about their calls and enabling them to use that information in meaningful ways. In this process, we realized the power and importance of a mobile number, especially when it comes to personal identification. Our aim is to empower third party apps with a credible verification option and enable users to use the app of their choice by making their phone numbers their identity.

TrueSDK helps both the users to quickly use their credentials that are already verified with Truecaller to easily engage with 3rd party apps of their choice.

[L-R] Kari Krishnamurthy – VP Growth & Partnerships Asia and Country Manager Truecaller, Nami Zarringhalam – Co founder and CSO Truecaller, Priyam Bose – Director Worldwide Dev

Commenting on the newly launched platform, Priyam Bose, Director Worldwide Developer Relations at Truecaller said

Phone numbers are quickly becoming the primary personal identity to verify users in the global mobile arena. App Developers are looking for ways to minimize friction in user on-boarding & engagement flows. TrueSDK gives developers an opportunity to fulfill these needs and overtime bridge offline and online identity gap. Instead of having every app developer build and maintain their own systems, they can now use TrueSDK and instead focus more on their core aspects of their app led offering.

Offering’s of TrueSDK

  • Phone number based on-boarding and verification
  • Free to use and no verification cost for existing Truecaller users
  • Significantly reduces friction in user on boarding
  • Permission based flow

Anurag Saran, CPO-Chief Product Officer, Quikr added

As one of India’s most trusted brands, security of consumers while transacting on our platform is crucial. Truecaller has a large existing community and the integration of TrueSDK on our mobile app reduces friction for mobile number verification. This gives our consumers an added layer of convenience and security.

Bipin Preet Singh, Founder & CEO-Mobikwik said

At Mobikwik, we’re taking every step keeping customer experience at the centre of focus. By integrating TrueSDK from Truecaller, we look forward to solve many challenges in one shot in our app. Our users while signing up on Mobikwik now will have an auto fill mechanism with their Truecaller verified phone number.

More reactions from TrueSDK partners

ShopClues is one of the first in the industry to move to the use of verified phone numbers for user registration on our app by tying up with TrueSDK from Truecaller. ShopClues is committed to making the user journey as smooth and seamless as possible. By using Truecaller verified phone number-led credentials we are ensuring that the customers’ propensity to on-board with us is enhanced.

Sanjay Sethi, CEO & Co-founder, ShopClues

By integrating our app with a solution such as the TrueSDK we are solving many problems at one go. Users will no longer need to fill in information manually with the auto-fill option. By auto filling their contact credentials we will be able to considerably reduce friction in user journey. Additionally, owing to the vast user community of Truecaller we will have ready access to a bank of verified phone numbers making the process much simpler and safer.  Going forward, we consider this to be a big step in enhancing our in-app experience.

Rajnish Kumar, Co-founder & Chief Technology Officer (CTO), ixigo

TrueSDK is the first major product to offer verified phone number based sign up/login feature. For OYO Rooms, where we are mobile first and use phone number for user account creation, this really helps in reducing customer friction in signing up. With Truecaller’s large user base, we hope this feature will benefit a large number of our users.

Anurag Gaggar, VP, Products, OYO Rooms

Cheetah Mobile, the world’s leading mobile utility provider committed to providing a safer, faster and simpler mobile internet experience, announced findings from its latest global mobile security report focused on Android devices.

The report details the growth of viruses, phishing sites, malware’s, infected devices across major markets [including India], data leakages, and rounds out with security predictions for 2016. The Company’s annual security report is cumulative data based on 567 million global monthly active users and an overall install base of almost two billion users using Cheetah Mobile’s utility applications on their devices.

Key trends in mobile security for 2015

Android viruses rose sharply

The number of Android viruses exceeded 9.5 million, which is larger than twice the total number in the past three years. Compared with 2014’s 2.8million, the growth rate of 2015 is over 22%.

Root Trojans soared in 2015

As it gains system-level privilege, Root Trojans can take complete control of the device and are very hard to remove.

Mobile payments have been targeted by viruses

With the popularization of mobile payment, the number of malware’s targeting mobile banking has increased rapidly.

Data leakage caused great damage

Thousands of companies and hundreds of millions of users have been affected by information leaks in 2015.

Android vulnerabilities emerge one after another

From the Stage fright vulnerability which affected 95% Android devices to the wormhole compromising millions, it seemed like Android vulnerabilities would never end.

China, India and Indonesia were the three most severely afflicted countries. Apart from large Android user bases, another reason of these countries becoming the worst-hit ones is that third-party app markets are prevailing in these areas, and most of these third-party app markets have been contaminated by malware’s due to the weak monitoring of third-party app markets.

Biggest Data Leaks

  • Anthem: 80 million customers’ and employees’ personal information
  • OPM: About 27 million employees’ and applicants’ personal information
  • Ashley Madison: 37 million users’ personal information
  • Hacking Team: 400 GB of data was leaked and scattered on the internet

The graph above represents the number of unique infections detected across all devices that Cheetah Mobile is present on in that market. This number doesn’t represent the total number of devices that Cheetah Mobile’s applications are installed on in that particular country but only the individual devices that were infected over the span of 2015.

In the graphs below, one each for China, the United States & India, the numbers showcase the number of infections overall. The data here means that a single device could have multiple infections multiple times over the course of a year.

Total infections in India: 11,170,960

Total infections in China: 10,461,684

Total infections in America: 9,007,913

Here’s an image depicting the Trojans causing the most infections among devices in India

A Trojan horse or Trojan is a type of malware that is often disguised as legitimate software. Trojans can be employed by cyber-thieves & hackers trying to gain access to users’ systems. Users are typically tricked by some form of social engineering into loading and executing Trojans on their systems.

The manner in which they behave differs – some hides in users’ mobile devices to steal text messages, contact information, location data, and even personal photos. Others, like Ghost Push, obtains root access to the affected device and installs more malicious apps and a never ending stream of ads.

Mobile Security Predictions for 2016

  • New security features in Android 5.0 Lollipop and its successors are expected to make Android phones more secure.
  • As Google Play is available in China, Chinese app markets are expected to become more standardized and secure.
  • More effective steps will be taken by Google to enhance Android security in 2016.
  • Globally, mobile payment methods will be attacked more frequently.

Increasing use of banking apps on smartphone are set to cause nightmare to consumers and financial institution as per the predictions for 2016 by Trend Micro. Reports say that 3 in 4 apps in India are malicious. Irrespective of the slow adoption rate of mobile payment apps, the introduction of next generation mobile payment systems will inspire a renewed interest for threat actors to carry out real-world testing to steal information from new payment processing technologies like EMV credit cards, contactless RFID credit cards, and mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Wallet.

trend-micro-logo

In 2016, the improved security brought by these modes of payment will be challenged by online criminals. Google, on the other hand, released a report that says less than 1% of apps found in Android devices are potentially harmful. Based on the data gathered by Trend Micro as predictions for 2016, this distinction stands, showing that 13% of apps found in Play Store are found to be malicious while Google Play only registered 0.16% malicious apps. This will not be felt in other countries where users typically turn to official app stores for their apps.

Mobile malware will also continue to affect users in India due to the availability of third-party platforms and channels that offer free app downloads. Google Play, for example, is available in India, but reaches only 21 million of the estimated 800 million Chinese mobile users. Given this user behavior, there is no stopping the exponential growth of mobile malware at a rate that’s projected to reach the 20 million mark by the end of 2016.

Online threats will evolve to rely more on mastering the psychology behind each scheme than mastering the technical aspects of the operation. Attackers will continue to use fear as its main tool, as it has proven to be effective in the past.

Smartphone Theft’s in India

Few years back [or to be more precise before the advent of WhatsApp], SMS was the de-facto way of sending messages. Fast forward now, WhatsApp has more than 800M users in India & the growth has been nothing less than phenomenal. Just like me, you would have always felt the requirement to look out for a cross-platform app where you can make calls/send messages to users across different platforms.

This is the problem that n-gage messenger, world’s first 360 degree lifestyle Chat app is trying to solve. It is the world’s first app that enables users with or without a Smartphone to make 1 to 1 or group video calls and send rich personalized messages across other social media and messaging apps. Unlike other similar apps, as soon as the user joins, they can start sending rich personalized messages and have video calls with family and friends who do not have n-gage.

Today, we review the n-gage messenger & n-gage messenger lite which like FB lite is low on memory footprint & works on Android phones with low memory.

Features : n-gage

n-gage messenger has the following features:

  • Chat : 1-1 Chat, Group Chat, Voice & Video message and more
  • Privacy : There are different privacy levels, some of which are below
  • ngage_PrivacyGroup : Like any other messenger app, n-gage also supports creation of Group. Unlike other group chats, with n-gage users can create groups with up to 300 participants from their contact lists to enjoy multiple conversations under one group. With this, n-gage users can share multimedia files and even exit several group conversations without leaving the group. Just like ‘Labels in Gmail’, you can create different groups, label them for better identification & clarity.
  • Audio & Video Calling : You can use n-gage to call your contacts irrespective on whether they are present on n-gage [just like a normal call] or who are present on cross-platforms like WhatsApp. n-gage to n-gage calling worked flawlessly & there was no audio/video lag.

  • n-card & n-stickers : Like other messengers like Hike messenger, n-gage aims to cater the needs of the diverse Indian audience. They have separate section to send n-cards where users can send ‘soft cards’ during occasions like Christmas, Diwali etc.
  • Know : With n-gage messenger, users can get their daily dose of information e.g. If you are interested in Health, Lifestyle etc. n-gage would curate the content for you in the ‘Know’ section of n-gage. We found this feature quite useful & in order to drive user-growth, they have integrated all the social media features in the app. It would have been even better if n-gage had done cross-app information sourcing i.e. getting curated and personalized content from other apps like Daily Hunt.

Localized Content & Indian Language Support : n-gage

n-gage enables its users to connect with family and friends from around the world in over 45 languages. Users can share messages, doodles, and attachments on various other social platforms such as WhatApp, Facebook, Emails and SMS, without requiring the other person to download the app.

Providing ‘Localized Content’ could have been an interesting add-on feature which can be targeted to users interested in content [in languages other than English].

Private Chat & Schedule : n-gage

n-gage enables chats to stay private, with the app offering an expansive range of privacy features to suit individuals needs. It also has an integrated feature called ‘Schedule’ which keeps a track of users reminder’s, occasions etc.

We particularly liked the ‘Scribble’ feature where user can write something on the scratchpad of n-gage & send it across to a group/individual. It is like having ‘Stylus’ support in n-gage 🙂

lite for low end phones : n-gage

Considering the fact that there still many users who are ditching their feature-phones for low end Android devices, it becomes very much necessary to cater to this end of the market. n-gage has released a stripped down version of the n-gage messenger rightly termed as ‘n-gage lite‘.

The lite version is quite snappy & fast and we found it very useful. We tried the app on Android phone with 832 MB of RAM & there was no lag in the app’s performance.

Closing Thoughts : n-gage

There were certain hiccups during the review but overall we found the app to be useful though the UX needs a huge improvement. n-gage messenger aims to be a one-stop destination for all the user’s requirements i.e. Messaging, Group Chat, Calling, Privacy and much more…  Their mantra is to be your Lifetime Companion.

Given the fact that they have winning features of WhatsApp, Hike in it’s app, we would not be surprised if they also incorporate ‘Social Shopping’ in their future releases 🙂

Do give n-gage messenger or n-gage mesenger lite a shot and share your experience in the comments section

How many times do we encounter a situation where our phone becomes dam’n slow 🙁 Many times, clearing cache, uninstalling apps also does not help. This might be more frequently observed in older Android phones which have less than 1 GB of memory. I still own a Samsung Galaxy Note-I which has 862 MB of RAM & 2 GB of internal storage.

Limited internal storage keeps me on my toes whenever I have to install any new “Memory Hungry” app & limited RAM ensures that I run minimum number of apps in background so that there is less CPU consumption. Ultra-economical handsets priced under Rs 5,000 are also a fast-growing segment of the Indian Android market. Hence, it becomes very important for companies to cater to the users in emerging markets like India.

As per the State of the Android Mobile Web report released by Opera, 77% of it’s users on Android, accessing the web from phones that cost Rs 10,000 and under. In order to cater to this segment, ‘Lite’ versions of the app are released which can also work on phones with less RAM [or require lower internet band-with]

Keeping the phone secure & junk-free becomes an utmost priority for these BOP Android users 🙂 Today, we have a look at 360 Security Lite which is Mobile antivirus and Performance application for Android users & an ideal #MadeForIndia app [I am reviewing the 360 Degree Security Lite App for the #MadeForIndia activity at BlogAdda]

360SecurityLite

Why – 360 Security Lite

The primary difference between 360 Security Lite & 360 Security is that the app is only 4 MB in size & it works flawlessly even on phones with less than 1 GB of memory. We installed the 360 Security Lite on Samsung Note-1 and there were no issues. There was no lag in the phone’s performance after the installation & scanning for junk took only few seconds [Time would depend on the data available on the device].

360 Security Lite is the only all-in-one Android optimizer, Speed booster, Battery saver and antivirus app that optimizes your background apps, manages the memory space, cleans junk [cache] files and extends your battery life, while keeping your device safe from virus and Trojans.

We also executed the Top command & there was minimal increase in CPU load after it’s installation.

Key Features – 360 Security Lite

As mentioned earlier, the key factor of the ‘Lite’ version of 360 security is it’s low memory footprint & lowest power consumption [Remember, this app might be scanning for Junk/Viruses etc. in background depending on it’s settings].

  • Boost: Offers options to kill energy-consuming apps that result in extension of Battery Juice.
  • Clean: Scans & cleans junk files to free up the storage space.
  • Antivirus: One tap-option to scan your phone for Viruses & Trojans. It is trusted by more than 200 million users.
  • Low memory footprint – 4 MB installation package.

Battery Saver, Junk Cleaner & Security – 360 Security Lite

As per the 360 Security blog, they have tested the Lite version on number of low end devices [phones with less than 1 GB memory].

  • Battery Saver – They have analyzed numerous app’s at the source code level to identify CPU hungry apps. ‘Battery Saver’ feature extends the phone battery life by more than 40%. Along with the battery saver, they could have also provided an option to set different ‘Battery Profiles’ which is available in other app’s like DU Speed Booster.
  • Junk Cleaner – App Caches, Thrash files & WhatsApp files constitute to 90% of the Junk that is found in our phones. 360 Security lite cleans this junk & also identifies Large Files and provides recommendations to users for it’s removal.

  • 100% Security – There is ‘Real-Time Protection’ Setting which ensures that your device is 100% secure. It scans newly installed apps, new updates & file system to protect your mobile security in real time which also could hide your private messages. The ‘Quick-Scan’ option when enabled would perform a full system scan.

Clean Up – 360 Security Lite

There are numerous settings in the app like ‘Clean Up Reminder‘ which sets weekly reminder to clean up the Junk, ‘Uninstall Reminder‘ that notifies when an App is uninstalled so that it can be completely removed from the device, ‘Clean Safe List‘ where user can add app’s that they feel are Safe [like Banking Apps etc.] and that can be ignored during clean-up.

100% Secure – 360 Security Lite

User can set ‘Real-Time Protection‘ that scans any new file/app etc. that is located on the device. However, this might slow down the phone a wee-bit but slight hit in performance is better than loosing sensitive data 🙁 You can set ‘App Installation Alert‘ where every new app would be scanned during the installation time. We recommend that you keep this setting enabled as it would keep your phone secure from apps that are downloaded accidentally [by clicking on the ad’s] which indirectly ensures that your data is also safe !! Similar to the ‘Clean Safe List, there is ‘App Ignore List‘ where you can add Trusted Apps so that they are not scanned on install/update/uninstall.

In a nutshell,  360 Security Lite is definitely ‘Lite’ in size but heavy on ‘Features’ 🙂 We would definitely recommend this app for sub 5K Android phones since there was no lag in performance after it’s continuous useage. With features like Android Speed Booster, Junk Cleaner, Intelligent Power Saver and Exclusive Booster, this app will keep your phone functioning as new for a long time.
