<div style="text-align: justify;">
Facebook Messenger recently announced it has over 800 million users, but many of its avid fans probably don't know about a game secretly hidden inside.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The classic game of chess can be played by sharing the simple message "@fbchess play" with any of your contacts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As soon the message is sent a basic chess board appears on the screen – although playing the brain-testing game isn't quite as simple as finding it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gamers are able to play by typing in a specific Algebraic Notation – for example, @fbchess e4 or @fbchess Pe4 will move a pawn to e4 on the board.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
B is used for bishop, R moves the rook, Q for queen, K for king, and, because K is already used in King, the letter N moves your knight.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's pretty frustrating to begin with but learning the codes soon speeds things up.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you're finding things confusing full instructions on how to play can viewed by typing "@fbchess help" into the messaging app.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The endless runner can be accessed when your computer drops its internet connection.</div>

Hitting the spacebar whenever Chrome flashes up its "Unable to connect to the Internet" warning – the little dinosaur mascot will spring to life.</div>

WhatsApp users could be in store for an onslaught of notifications.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The hugely-successful cross-platform messenger has announced that it is increasing the maximum number of people in one group conversation from 100 to 256 people.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This means some 256 of your friends can jump into one New Group. Just imagine those notifications beeping, ringing and pinging day and night.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
WhatsApp is rolling out the update from today, with some users already able to create the super-sized group chats.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When your smartphone app is updated, WhatsApp will notify you that you can now add up to 256 people to your next text conversation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Apple and Android users will be able to benefit from the latest update but Windows and Blackberry aren't able to take part in the larger conversations just yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The move to expand group conversations could be the first step in WhatsApp's new business plan, which aims to connect companies with their customers through the popular chat app.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a recent announcement, WhatsApp said it will charge multi-national companies to conduct customer service chats and calls via WhatsApp.</div>

For example, an airline could use the app to contact customers about a flight cancellation or upcoming delays.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
WhatsApp says despite the changes, its goal remains to avoid spam and unwanted advertising within the hugely-successful app.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However – it will undoubtedly be easier for companies to push out notifications and updates to 256 rather than 100 customers.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
iPhone and iPad owners were yesterday <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2016/02/iphone-safari-crash-still-cant-tap.html">plagued by a glitch with the Safari web browser's auto-suggest feature, Safari Suggestions</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The bizarre bug caused the hugely-popular iOS web browser to CRASH whenever a user tried to enter a new search or URL into the address bar.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sources within Apple say the issue only affected iOS <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/mac-safari-glitch-how-to-stop-os-x.html">and OS X users</a> whose Safari Suggestions data was updated late on the 26th January, Greenwich Mean Time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Apple has now rolled out a fix for the glitch, but some users could still be experiencing the infuriating bug.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That's most likely because the iPhone or iPad still has the problematic Safari Suggestions data cached. </div>

Clearing the cache should solve the issues for good. To do that, head to <strong>Settings > Safari</strong> then tap <strong>Clear History and Website Data</strong>.</div>

WhatsApp <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/09/whatsapp-is-most-popular-messenger-in.html">– already the world's most popular messaging app –</a> has now topped one billion active users.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks to its phenomenal success, WhatsApp now has to handle a staggering 42 billion messages and 250 million videos sent across the globe, every day of the week.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With that amount of data being shared <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/12/whatsapp-not-working-facebook-owned-app.html">– it's little surprise the service went down over New Years</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you have the Facebook app installed on your smartphone, you might want to consider deleting it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The hugely-successful smartphone app has been hit with controversy this week after a number of reports showed the app drained battery life and slowed phones.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tests revealed that when Facebook is installed, Android smartphones can run up to 15 per cent slower.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Facebook fans discussed the impact of the US social network's app on Reddit, with one user publishing a chart to show the drain caused by the Android app.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The user's test involved launching 15 popular apps in succession.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Each app loaded significantly <strong>faster</strong> when Facebook wasn't installed on the same smartphone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Reddit user pbrandes_eth was so shocked by the performance issues he uninstalled Facebook, posting: "So yeah, I think that settles it for me... I am joining the browser-app camp for now."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Messenger seems to be worse than FB," pbrandes_eth has claimed. "Both apps individually caused a slow-down of roughly 5% in the test."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In order to perform the test and measure the impact of Facebook and Facebook Messenger, the prominent Redditor used an app called DiscoMark.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the Google Play Store listing, "DiscoMark tests your phone's performance based on the launch-times of your applications.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Instead of artificial computations that result in numbers that are hard to interpret, DiscoMark tells you how long it takes to start your Apps. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"This is a performance metric that reflects the real-world performance of your phone."</div>

Reddit user pbrandes_eth also explains, "I picked a number of apps and selected 15 runs for averaging. Then before each try I restarted my phone to make sure that the experiment is as fair as possible."</div>

Another user added: "I am not sure if the app is poorly written or just does so many things in the background that it seems that way."</div>

"Guys I just tested their benchmark on my phone (Nexus 6). With Facebook 3.8s without 2.9... Nice!" one added.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As well as a drop in speed, it appears the official Facebook app can drain Android batteries, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a test performed by <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/feb/01/uninstalling-facebook-app-saves-up-to-20-of-android-battery-life" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Guardian</a>, the Facebook app munched its way through an extra 20 per cent of the smartphone's juice.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Their findings showed that while the Facebook app itself doesn't consume a huge amount of power, when uninstalled the Android operating system appears to be far less battery hungry.</div>

Facebook users are being targeted in a shocking new scam, where payday loans are taken out in their name – thanks to stolen details.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
British social network users have had their accounts hacked, with crafty cybercriminals then posting on the Facebook users' timelines to trick their friends into revealing personal details.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These details – including mobile phone numbers volunteered by friends – have been used to take-out payday loans.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These incidents date back to June 2014. The most recent scam was reported last month.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Northumbria Police highlighted the scam on their website, noting "never pass any personal details online to strangers."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A number of other scams on Facebook have also been reported.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hacked Facebook accounts have been used to post adverts on their timeline about opportunities to earn money.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The victim's friends have seen the adverts and believing they have been posted from their friend they 'like' the post and message them about the advert. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They then get a message back, believing it is from their friend, but from the fraudsters and get their phone number from them.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first is that he has a business that can obtain Government funding and he can claim money on their behalf and split the fund. </div>

In the second he states that he has a mobile phone business and requires new phones to sell on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Facebook has confirmed it will be rolling out a new set of emojis – dubbed Reactions – to replace the traditional Like button.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Reactions debuted<a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/10/facebooks-dislike-button-is-finally.html"> as part of a small pilot program in Ireland and Spain</a>, before trickling out to Chile, Portugal, the Philippines and Colombia, <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/10/facebooks-dislike-button-is-finally.html">last year</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But now the Californian social network is ready to roll-out the improved Like button to its 1.49 billion monthly active users.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to a report in <em>Bloomberg</em>, Facebook will begin pushing out Reactions to the UK and the rest of the globe "within weeks."</div>

MacBook and Apple Mac desktop owners have reported an infuriating bug with the Safari web browser.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Launching a new tab in the minimalist desktop web browser, or trying to type a search query or URL into the address bar CRASHES the hugely-popular browser – sending users back to the desktop. OS X then automatically generates a Crash Report to send to Apple.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Cupertino company has yet to acknowledge the problem, which appears to affect multiple versions of OS X <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/iphone-safari-glitch-how-to-stop-ios.html" rel="">– as well as iPhone and iPad users</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the meantime, there are a couple of workarounds to get users up-and-running on Safari again.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Launching a New Private Window in Safari temporarily fixes the issue. To do this, click <strong>File > New Private Window</strong>.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another option is to disable <strong>Safari Suggestions</strong> – the websites and search queries the browser pre-emptively guesses as you type into the address bar.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To do this, open <strong>Safari > Preferences > Search</strong> then toggle <strong>Safari Suggestions</strong> to <strong>Off</strong>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since the glitch appears to affect multiple versions of iOS and OS X, some have suggested the problems may be server-side and linked to Safari Suggestions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One MacBook user complained on the MacRumours forum: "Experiencing this as well right now. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Additionally, tab switching doesn't seem to work and new tabs don't even show up in the tab bar. Safari is simply unusable right now."</div>
