Tea App Data Breach Exposes Thousands of User Images: What You Need to Know About the Platform

/

Tea confirmed a significant data breach on July 25 that led, rather alarmingly, to the exposure of thousands of user images online. Tea is a rapidly growing women-only app that lets users share dating experiences and scrutinize potential love interests thoroughly online. Approximately 72,000 images were purloined in the breach by hackers, and a Tea spokesperson subsequently revealed details quietly afterward. Around 13,000 verification-related photos, like selfies and identification documents used during sign-up, are included in this trove of data. Another 59,000 images—visible in posts and private messages within the app—were accessed without authorization, reportedly according to Associated Press sources. Tea emphasized that sensitive personal info, like email addresses or phone numbers, remained untouched by hackers, mercifully. Company officials clarified the breach only impacted users registered before February 2024, somewhat surprisingly, under specific circumstances very recently. “Cybersecurity experts have been brought in, and our team is working nonstop to strengthen the platform’s defenses,” said the company in a statement. “So far, there is no indication that other types of user data have been compromised.” The breach was initially uncovered by users on 4Chan, who found an open-access database linked to Tea. A vast collection of sensitive content was included in the exposed database, as recently reported by 404 Media. A 4Chan user is said to have shared a link revealing a cache of image files allegedly connected to the app in question. Tea announced on Instagram that its user base swelled rapidly to a whopping four million users this week, AP noted quietly. What’s brewing on Tea App anyway? A US-based app geared solely toward women, Tea allows users to anonymously share dating experiences and flag potential relationship risks, according to recent reports by Sky News. It’s touted as a super-safe haven empowering women navigating the often sketchy online dating scene. Tea’s website states its goal of ensuring women’s safety is never compromised. Tools like reverse image search for spotting catfishing and background checks for flagging shady activity are included, alongside phone number checks. Tea also functions as a vibrant community platform, hosting what it touts as the largest group chat for US women, amidst robust security features. Tea offers peace of mind before meeting someone new, alerting users to red flags through a mix of personal experiences and secure tech tools.

Google Pixel Watch 4 Launching August 20 with Major Charging and Design Upgrades

/

Google Pixel Watch 4 launching on August 20, but many details remain unconfirmed by Google, and a slew of leaks have spilled some beans. One of the most notable changes is the new charging setup. Recent reports from Android Authority suggest that Google has completely overhauled the charging method for the Pixel Watch 4. Unlike its predecessors, which featured charging connectors on the back, the Pixel Watch 4 now positions them on the left side—across from the digital crown. These contacts sit within a small groove on the side, leaving the back of the watch free of pins for the first time in the series. The new layout strongly resembles the Pixel Watch 3’s expansive sensor array covering a large portion of the rear casing. This change goes way beyond mere aesthetics. The revamped charging system now delivers speeds up to 25% faster than before, making battery top-ups noticeably quicker. The new placement lets the watch lie flat on its side while recharging, making battery status super visible at a glance—ideal for nightstands beside beds or workbenches under harsh lighting. Older Pixel Watch chargers won’t work with the new model, but the change brings a trade-off with fairly significant consequences. Google includes a new charging dock in the box, but users will need their own USB-C adapter, like with prior releases. Fortunately, any 5W USB-C power adapter will be compatible. Repairability of the watch has seen a welcome improvement. Past Pixel Watches were extremely hard to repair, but the Pixel Watch 4 features a back panel that technicians can now remove. The relocation of the charging contacts likely played a key role in enabling this change. Initially, this appeared to be a minor adjustment, but it’s turning into a major design overhaul for the Pixel Watch series. The Pixel Watch 4 blends style with practical performance more effectively than ever before, boasting faster charging and markedly improved repair options.

iOS 26 public beta could launch around July 23, per Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.  iOS 26 was unveiled earlier this year at WWDC and has since gone through multiple developer beta versions fairly quickly. General users will be able to experience the redesigned interface and added features prior to the official release, projected for September alongside the iPhone 17 lineup. Users keen on testing new features can enroll in the Apple Beta Software Program free of charge, but backing up the device beforehand seems prudent. iOS 26 Public Beta: Release Timeline and Compatible Devices Older devices are being phased out, with the iOS 26 release dropping support for phones like the iPhone XR and iPhone XS entirely. If you have an iPhone 11 or anything newer — including the 2nd or 3rd gen iPhone SE — you’ll be able to get the iOS 26 update soon. You’ll need an iPhone 15 Pro or a model from the current iPhone 16 lineup to try Apple Intelligence, Apple’s new suite of AI features. Users can sign up on Apple’s beta site and activate the beta version via phone settings, likely after the public beta launches this week. Keep this in mind since it’s still somewhat experimental, and bugs along with performance issues may lurk beneath the surface. Top New Features in iOS 26 With the debut of iOS 26, Apple introduces a striking Liquid Glass design that enhances the interface with refined animations, overhauled app icons, and a host of personalization tools. Apps like Camera and Safari now sport revamped layouts for enhanced user experience and markedly better overall usability. iOS has undergone its most significant visual revamp since iOS 7, now sporting a modern, sleek design with simplicity and elegance in equal measure. The Apple Intelligence upgrade rolls out built-in AI functionalities like instantaneous language translation and smarter on-screen suggestions, with ChatGPT integrated for more robust assistance. New fun features include Genmoji for creating custom emojis and Image Playground for generating AI images effortlessly. Users benefit from AI-powered shortcuts cleverly tailored to their typical device usage patterns and habits. Enhancements have been introduced in both the Phone and Messages applications. The Phone app now offers a unified view of recent calls and favorites, alongside a Call Screening feature for a smoother calling experience. Custom chat backgrounds can be set in Messages, and polls can now be created in group chats with typing indicators visible. iOS 26 introduces automatic filtering of unknown senders in Messages into a separate tab. The new Apple Games app makes game discovery faster, and CarPlay now includes useful upgrades like home screen widgets and a minimized call interface for better in-car navigation.
