One of the best things about using Apple's 'Apple TV+' streaming service is being able to experience spatial audio on the AirPods Pro and the new AirPods Max.
Although the streaming service doesn't have the best content when compared with other platforms, it does have such awesome features.
Well, now it looks like even Netflix is testing spatial audio. If everything goes to plan, then the spatial audio support might roll out for iPhone and iPad.

Netflix already offers a variety of surround sound content, so we won't really be surprised if Netflix manages to pull it off.
Spatial audio converts the audio into virtual surround sound, making it a very immersive experience. If the report is something to go by, then it looks like Netflix will roll out the support with limited content.
Spatial Audio, for those of you who don't know, lets you experience directional audio filters to “play sounds virtually anywhere in space, creating an immersive sound experience.”
This puts surround channels exactly in the right spot, even as you turn your head or move your device.
Here's Apple's description of spatial audio -
"Spatial audio with dynamic head tracking brings the movie theatre experience right to your AirPods Pro. By applying directional audio filters and subtly adjusting the frequencies each ear receives, spatial audio can place sounds virtually anywhere in space, creating an immersive surround sound experience. Using the gyroscope and accelerometer in your AirPods Pro and your iPhone, spatial audio tracks the motion of your head as well as your device, compares the motion data, and then remaps the sound field so that it stays anchored to your device even as your head moves."
It's also worth pointing out that only Netflix's highest-end Premium tier supports Dolby Atmos surround sound. So, it'll be interesting to see if Netflix limits Spatial Audio to the Premium subscribers too.

As we mentioned earlier, there's no official confirmation on this feature's rollout just yet. So, we suggest you stay tuned to us for more info regarding the same.
In the meantime, you can check out the Apple TV+ streaming service to experience Spatial audio if you own either a pair of AirPods Pro or the new AirPods Max.

There was a time when Kuldeep Yadav didn't have to worry about selection or his reputation as one of the frontline spinners for India. But, times have changed.
© BCCI
The chinaman, especially in the longest format, has struggled to keep pace with the likes of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja who remain the first-choice spin-bowling options for India.
But, ahead of the 4th Test against Australia, India's growing list of injuries that ruled Jadeja, amongst others, out of the series decider was expected to hand Kuldeep an opportunity to make a comeback.
© BCCI
But, contrary to popular perception, India made four changes, bringing in Shardul Thakur, Mayank Agarwal, T Natarajan and Washington Sundar, but Kuldeep wasn't the one.
The fact that the Indian team went on to hand Sundar a Test debut ahead of Kuldeep further raised eyebrows with cricket pundits and fans slamming the decision.
At the lively track of Gabba, Kuldeep's variety in leg-spin and the bounce wrist-spinners tend to get at the ground should have been sufficient for him to get selected.
But, the decision to keep him on the bench left many baffled.
People were blaming Kohli for dropping Kuldeep, now Rahane preferred Sundar over him.
Poor selection from Rahane #GabbaTest #AUSvIND #kuldeepyadav
— Keep your cool, mate (@MissSwiftFan) January 15, 2021You got to be kidding me...!!!! #washingtonsundar in place of #kuldeepyadav must be a very big risk to take #AUSvINDtest #AUSvIND
— Sagar Karur (@karursagar) January 14, 2021Unfair with #kuldeepYadav , he should be playing ahead of sundar. Definitely better option than sundar plus you can play sundar also instead natrajan
Poor selection #AUSvsIND
— VCR (@VCRanjan) January 15, 2021Feel for #KuldeepYadav. Stars seem against him #AUSvIND #INDvsAUS
— Rajiv Ramanujam (@vernal_equinox) January 15, 2021#kuldeepyadav should be in playing XI in place of Saini or Shardul #IndiavsAustralia #IndianCricketTeam #rahane
— Sujit Khamari (@sujit_khamari) January 15, 2021Feel for @imkuldeep18 not getting a chance in this match especially when Ashwin is injured.#INDvsAUS #AUSvIND #brisbanetest #GabbaTest #kuldeepyadav
— Soham (@Soham718) January 14, 2021Definitely #KuldeepYadav deserves place in playing XI he should have replaced with Shardul Thakur or Washington Sundar
Am ok with Natarajan he has talent and he deserves it infact Natarajan could have picked in 3rd test instead Saini #AUSvIND #INDvsAUS #CricBuzzChatter
— Vinnu Namburi (@vinnu1239) January 15, 2021Kuldeep was India's second specialised spinner for the tour of Australia and he also has a five-wicket-haul in Australia that came during the Sydney Test of the 2018-19 Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
While the Indian leggie would have surely been a little disappointed, Sundar bowled 22 overs and recorded figures of 1-63 on Day 1 of the 4th Test in Brisbane.

In this fast paced world running on the fuel of the magic of internet, anything and everything can possibly happen. Some people make billions, some unfortunate ones get locked out of their bitcoins, some find love and some sadly, fall prey to insane level of phishing attacks. Nidhi Razdan, one of the most famous faces in Indian media and NDTV’s ex-executive producer, hit the headlines last year when she announced that she was quitting the industry after 21 years of service after being offered a job at Harvard to teach journalism. She broke her silence today and surprised her followers on social media after confirming that it was in reality a ‘fake’ job offer and she ended up being a victim of a phishing attack.
I have been the victim of a very serious phishing attack. I’m putting this statement out to set the record straight about what I’ve been through. I will not be addressing this issue any further on social media. pic.twitter.com/bttnnlLjuh
— Nidhi Razdan (@Nidhi) January 15, 2021
Her Twitter feed is flooded with messages filled with regret and sympathy because obviously, this is no joke and indeed a personal sad news for anyone.
Vicious things are happening on the Internet! We have heard about phishing attack but not expected on that Level..
Power to Nidhi Mam@Nidhi @PrannoyRoyNDTV https://t.co/N77jN67zC3
— Neeraj mishra (@neeraj_nirab) January 15, 2021This is shocking and am sure would be handiwork of someone not happy with your approach on political issues at NDTV particularly critical of this regime. https://t.co/dxMxdSkzZd
— Dinesh Dwivedi (@DineshDwivediSC) January 15, 2021A crime is crime doesn't matter who the victim of it. This is worse. May be it's persons mistake but it didn't make perpetrators clean. People need to understand they shouldn't mock her.. Everyone does make mistakes in life. But humiliating & ridiculing them for it is not right. https://t.co/FQp4YIsd7p
— Lone Wolf 🖤 (@love_lonewolf) January 15, 2021 While some people indeed have wise words to share, there are a plethora of tweets which are trolling her and even urging her to join Whatsapp university.
it took seven months to figure this out? the nigerian prince obviously missed a mark... https://t.co/13lsT1OEgU
— Dylan Mohan Gray (@DylanMohanGray) January 15, 2021Thank you for @Nidhi for setting yourself up as an example of WhatsApp university professor, earlier we used to have Whatsspp University students onmy https://t.co/D75ALQKHc7
— Thakur Vishal Singh (@vksingh805280) January 15, 2021I am sorry babu. https://t.co/iW6qSF7I7V
— Harvard University (@havarduni) January 15, 2021She has filed a complaint with the Delhi Police and we hope she finds out who tried to pull such a cruel prank on her. Nidhi shared the happy news of joining Harvard University around seven months ago. Many people are questioning the credibility of her research on this job offer and also wondering how the visa process was initiated without any credibility, but nevertheless, this is indeed a sad mockery of someone's profession. Nidhi has been working in the media industry for over two decades and is the daughter of former editor of PTI. Phishing attacks are a serious criminal offence and often lead to people losing a lot of valuable information to attackers. Here’s hoping that she can begin a new inning of her professional journey once again.

A depleted Team India had another injury concern after seamer Navdeep Saini sustained a groin injury during the first day's play in the 4th Test against Australia at the Gabba.
The Indian bowler was bowling to Marnus Labuschagne when he complained of some pain in the groin area before going off the field to get some scans done.
UPDATE - Navdeep Saini has now gone for scans.#AUSvIND https://t.co/pN01PVnFfx
— BCCI (@BCCI) January 15, 2021
With Saini off the field, Rohit Sharma bowled the last ball to complete the over and Prithvi Shaw, who has been left out owing to his poor form, came on as a substitute fielder.
With India already paying dearly due to the injuries to key players, Shaw almost added Rohit's name in the growing list.
In the 53rd over, Washington Sundar was bowling to Labuschagne who pushed the ball to midwicket and set off for a quick single. As the Australian batsman completed the run, Shaw picked up the ball and tried to have a go at the non-striker's end.
But, rather than making some sort of contribution to his team, Shaw's wild throw caught Rohit, who was standing in the middle, off guard and could have easily injured the Indian opener.
? Friendly fire ?

— cricket.com.au (@cricketcomau) January 15, 2021 Thanks to quick reflexes, Rohit managed to block the throw with his hand as the ball crashed onto the ground.
A video of the entire episode was shared by Cricket Australia (CA) that showed Rohit in disbelief and a bit of pain.
One way to get your opening spot back for the next series! #IndvAus #Cricket https://t.co/wyrHGrjCfF
— Brad Hogg (@Brad_Hogg) January 15, 2021
The incident saw Shaw becoming the butt of all jokes on social media as fans took turns to poke fun at the youngster.
Amongst all the memes, Aussie bowling legend Brad Hogg also pulled Shaw's leg in a hilarious tweet.
"One way to get your opening spot back for the next series!," he tweeted.
Here's how others reacted:

— Mohit Sharma '???' (@Trendy_Baba_) January 15, 2021 While Shaw did witness a forgettable moment, India fared well especially amid the notable absence of their key players. The likes of Mohammed Siraj and Shardul Thakur gave the tourists an early breakthrough. But, Marnus Labuschagne stuck in there and slammed a brilliant ton to stabilise the innings for the hosts.
Test debutant Washington Sundar did well to get rid of threatening Steve Smith before T Natarajan gave India vital breakthroughs after dismissing Matthew Wade and Labuschagne in quick succession.
Despite the dismissals, an unbeaten 61-run partnership between Tim Paine and Cameron Green saw Australia ending Day 1 at 274 runs with the loss of five wickets.

Dino Morea, despite being low key in the Bollywood industry right now, still continues to impress us whenever he is spotted.
While his acting skills have been praised quite often, we also can't forget that he has been on the forefront when it comes to the fashion world as well, and that too from the 90s.
For the unversed, Dino, besides having avant-garde style sensibility, is also a sneakerhead, who has never shied away from flaunting some of his zany pieces.
© Viral Bhayani
Take a look at this one time, when Dino wore a pair of sneakers, inspired by 'Sonic The Hedgehog' and garnered all our attention with this pair.
© Viral Bhayani
While this was his festive look, he was also recently spotted stepping out of the gym in a rather relaxed attire. We really liked the cool aesthetic of his gym outfit. However, the pair of sneakers he wore, was the real deal here.
Let's talk about his outfit first.
© Viral Bhayani
The hoodie, clad with blue shorts, makes for a perfect gym look.
© Ajio
Now, coming to the pièce de résistance are the sneakers that Dino is wearing, which is by Skechers. These sneakers are called Go Run Fast-Quake Shoes and are made with the usual lace-up style with a round toe.
© Viral Bhayani
Speaking of the trend, while some brands are designing these shoes intentionally, celebs these days are letting their shoes just be the way they are, instead of putting in extra effort to clean them.
Dirty or not, we think the pair looks really dope and someday, even we would like to wear such a statement style to the gym!
We like how he has layered the hoodie over a bright blue T-shirt. That, paired with a printed bandana, is a head-turning statement.
Also, you just can't miss his bushy, unkempt beard, which makes him look like a million bucks, even at the gym.
The reason why we liked this pair is because of its overall style but the fact that Dino let the sneakers remain dirty and didn't clean them, proves that the man is into trends and doesn't mind it even if his shoes look a little smudgy.

Irrespective of the profession, it's always difficult for a young kid to live up to the reputation and break away from the stardom of their popular parents. And, the world of cricket is no different.
The gentleman's game has witnessed precocious talents who struggle to bloom naturally like other kids, without the burden of their famous last names.
But, when you're the son of Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, the weight of expectations to carry on the legacy of one of the greatest batsmen the sport has ever seen is a little too much.
© Twitter/@BCCI
Arjun Tendulkar is no stranger to the spotlight and the media attention that he continues to garner ever since he showcased his capabilities as an all-rounder in his teen days.
The youngster made it to the Mumbai U-19 side in 2017 before graduating to the India U-19 squad a year later. He was part of India's Youth Test tour to Sri Lanka in 2018 and also played for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) Young Cricketers in the Second Eleven Championship in England.
Another Tendulkar makes his senior debut for Mumbai. Playing against someone his father has battled in many an enthralling domestic encounter, Haryana. Go well, Arjun Tendulkar, it's not easy being the follow up act of a legend.
— Joy Bhattacharjya (@joybhattacharj) January 15, 2021
But, his biggest break came on 15th January when the 21-year-old was handed his debut for the Mumbai senior team in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. The bowling all-rounder was included in the Mumbai line-up for their much-anticipated clash against Haryana in the domestic T20 competition.
While it was undeniably a big step for the youngster, Arjun, perhaps a little nervous, failed to make a mark on his debut. With Mumbai bowled out for 143 runs, the left-hander couldn't get a chance to bat. '
And, his team and fans would have hoped that Tendulkar Jr might contribute with the ball.
Here's the exclusive video of Arjun Tendulkar getting his first wicket!!

— Vinesh Prabhu (@vlp1994) January 15, 2021
And, Arjun did make his presence felt, getting rid of Haryana opener Chaitanya Bishnoi (4) in the fourth over. But, from thereon, it proved to be a downslide for Arjun as Haryana batsmen hammered the youngster all around the park at the Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai.
With a lone wicket to his name, the left-arm seamer emerged as the most expensive bowler, conceding at 11.33 runs an over, of the match.

Arjun tendulkar went for 15 runs in his 1st over
— varun giri (@varungiri0) January 15, 2021
Just like Arjun, the performance of Mumbai in the ongoing T20 competition has not been up to the mark, so far. The Suryakumar Yadav-led side was blown away by Mohammed Azharuddeen's 54-ball 137 during their loss to Kerala in their opening match.
Their poor run continued in the tournament as Haryana romped to an effortless eight-wicket win, pushing Mumbai to the last spot in Group E with not a single point against their name.

The 2020-21 Border Gavaskar Trophy has been a true testament of the character of the Indian cricket team.
Struggling to put up enough players for the Playing XI ahead of the fourth and final Test of the series at the Brisbane Cricket Ground, the Men in Blue are trying their best to ride the tide in the most efficient way possible.
With some of the most well-seasoned Indian bowlers like Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav and now Jasprit Bumrah being unable to play for the team due to severe injuries, the Indian bowling attack lacks the presence of a veteran pacer who could impart some useful knowledge in between overs.
From Test cap 298 to 300.
Mohammad Siraj offers T Natarajan some advice learned from his brief time on the Test circuit.

— FlashScore Cricket Commentators (@FlashCric) January 15, 2021
So, the players are making the best out of what they have.
On the first day of the Gabba Test, one such example could be seen in Mohammed Siraj who was found walking up to T Natarajan between overs, to encourage him and give him a few words of advice that might work in his favour against the Australian batsmen.

— no_love__ still_single (@LuvhrtzzA) January 15, 2021
Siraj, who himself made his international debut in the longest format of the game during the Melbourne Test of the on-going series, has just two matches under his belt.
But under the given circumstances, it makes him the most experienced pure pacer on the field for the visiting side and he is not letting his boys down.
Natarajan, on the other hand, made his international Test debut at the Gabba and has been extremely impressive with the ball.
Bowling more than 10 over in one match for the first time in his international career, Natarajan has already scalped two wickets, including the centurion, Marnus Labuschagne.

Yet another Man in Blue, Washington Sundar, is also having a decent international Test debut. In 20 overs, the allrounder has given away 50 runs while removing Steve Smith from the crease off a Rohit Sharma catch.
However, injury woes might continue for Indian skipper Ajinkya Rahane as yet another pacer, Navdeep Saini, had to be taken for medical assistance early on Day 1 with a possible groin injury.
Eventual reports confirmed that Saini was also taken for scans.

Rishabh Pant has gone through a lot during the ongoing Test series between India and Australia.
He scored a century in Sydney during a practice match against Australia A, was criticised by his own fans for not being a good wicket-keeper, got his elbow smashed by a Mitchell Starc delivery and then, was hailed by the fans for playing the best international Test innings of his career.
View this post on Instagram
However, all those things do not provide him with immunity from getting sledged by his own teammates when his excitement and overzealousness begin to cloud his judgement as a cricketer.
During the 84th over of the first Australian innings, debutant T Natarajan’s delivery rushed past Australian skipper Tim Paine’s bat and into Pant’s hands.
There was a fair bit of space between the bat and the ball but the keeper was convinced that there was an edge.
Rishabh Pant was heaps keen on this one but he was getting donuts from the cordon! #AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/p4kHh536IZ
— cricket.com.au (@cricketcomau) January 15, 2021
Upon gloving the ball, Pant found himself to be the only one appealing to the umpire for a caught-behind and while the official refused to raise his finger, all of Pant’s excitement turned towards his skipper, Ajinkya Rahane to go for a DRS review.
The cameras caught Pant almost begging a laughing Rahane to take the review while the captain kept his hands behind his back and shared a couple of jokes with his deputy in command Rohit Sharma almost simultaneously.
lmfao pant is hilarious
— ً (@Iabuschagne) January 15, 2021
Cheteshwar Pujara and Sharma were also on the hapless keeper’s case and continued to laugh while Pant maintained an angry expression on his face.
It is rather refreshing to see the Men in Blue sharing a couple of jokes and still taking the Brisbane Test in a fun spirit, especially after losing so many of their extremely talented mates to unfortunate injuries.
That genuine reaction from Rohit Sharma though!
— Anuj Kulkarni (@IamAnujKulkarni) January 15, 2021
At the end of Day 1 of the Gabba Test, Australia are at 274/5 after 87 overs. Marnus Labuschange 108-run innings added a significant balance to the Australian batting side after losing names like David Warner, Steve Smith and Marcus Harris early.
For India, Natarajan’s 2/63 stint after 20 overs remained the most impressive performance for the bowling attack, followed by Mohammed Siraj’s 1/51 outing.

After WhatsApp issued forceful new terms of service; many users around the world have started to switch to alternative messaging apps. However, many wonders which one to switch i.e. Telegram or Signal. Both messaging apps are great for users who are looking for an alternative but they aren’t equally the same when it comes to privacy. For users who cherish their privacy the most; we compare the two major alternatives that users should know about.
1. Disappearing Messages © Reuters
Most chat leaks happened either via cloud backups or by screenshots captured by other users. While neither of the apps has any protection from screenshots; they both feature disappearing messages in case you don’t want people to capture screenshots of your texts. Telegram and Signal, both offer this feature and even lets the message sender set a duration for how long to display messages before they're deleted. This is a very nifty feature to have if you want to keep your conversations private and not let peeping toms screenshot what you are saying.
2. Encryption © Playstore
This is where both applications differ from each other. On Signal, all texts and calls have end-to-end encryption by default. However, in the case of Telegram, only secret chats have the same level of encryption and do not extend to regular chats. On Signal, you can even relay your calls via Signal servers so that you don’t have to expose your IP address to the caller. This is by far the biggest difference when it comes to message encryption between the two. If you really want to protect your messages and data; Signal seems like a better choice.
3. Backups © christian-wiediger
Most leaks happen via chat backup and in order to protect yourself from these problems, Signal offers a better solution than Telegram. Signal only lets people take a local backup of their chats on the smartphone and does not use the cloud whereas on Telegram; it uses cloud backup for your text and call logs. Having said that, local backups can be a double-edged sword as if you lose your phone; you will also lose your chat history along with it.
4. Data Collection © Telegram
In the case of data collection, Telegram does collect basic information such as name, phone number, contacts and user ID. However, in the case of Signal, the messaging app follows strict privacy guidelines and does not collect any data. Signal prides itself on being one of the most secure and privacy-sensitive apps out there and it is clearly stated in its privacy policy about practices.
Having said that, Telegram plans to roll out advertisements on its platform in the future which means it needs the data to serve ads to its customers. Signal on other hand does not plan to monetise the app anytime soon and instead is funded on donations by users.
