Spotify

Earlier this year, Spotify began testing a new Friends Weekly playlist for users of the iOS app. Several months later, the Friends Weekly playlist was made available to a larger audience of iOS users. Now, it seems that users of Spotify’s Android app will soon be getting the Friends Weekly feature.

Friends Weekly is a personalized playlist of your friends’ recently played songs. The playlist is made to make Spotify a more social experience by letting you see what songs your friends are interested in and react to them with emojis. Judging by the screenshots we were sent, this is a story-like view of your friends’ listening activity. You can listen to the same music synced up with your friends. You can click on your friends’ names and start listening to what they’re listening to.

How to access Spotify’s new Friends Weekly playlist feature

Method 1

This feature has been hinted at in code for a few releases now, but the latest Spotify beta release now allows you to launch the activities for these features. If you send the following ADB commands, you can check out the new Friends Weekly playlist feature for yourself. You don’t even need root to launch the activities since they’re exported!

adb shell am start -n "com.spotify.music/com.spotify.music.features.friendsactivity.friendslist.ui.AvatarListContainerActivity"
adb shell am start -n "com.spotify.music/com.spotify.music.features.friendsweekly.findfriends.ui.FindFriendsActivity"

Method 2

Alternatively, you can use an activity launcher app like the built-in feature in Nova Launcher or this dedicated app.

Activity Launcher (Free, Google Play) →

Then, just look for the activity names mentioned in Method 1 and tap on those to launch them.

You can download the latest version of the Spotify app from the Google Play Store link below, although applications for the beta testing group are no longer available. If you aren’t already in the beta, you can download the latest beta release from APKMirror .

How to change the PIM of a VeraCrypt volume

The developers of VeraCrypt introduced Personal Iterations Multiplier (PIM) functionality in the encryption program in version 1.12 . PIM stands for "Personal Iterations Multiplier". It is a parameter that was introduced in VeraCrypt 1.12 and whose value controls the number of iterations used by the header key derivation function. PIM is used by volumes even if the creator of the volume did not specify a value. It is an optional component that improves security: it adds another step to the authentication process similarly to two-factor authentication. The main difference is that the PIM value is fixed and not generated on the fly when requested. An attacker needs to know the master password and the PIM, if not set to default, to breach the encryption successfully and access the content of the drive or partition. A couple of good reasons exist to change the PIM value: It was leaked or stolen. The default value is used and that is not as secure as using a custom PIM. Yo...

The 5 Best Free IPTV Apps to Watch Live TV on Android

It’s easier than ever to watch on-demand TV shows and movies on your Android device. But what about live TV? Yes, there are services like Sling and PlayStation Vue. However, if you know where to look, you don’t need to subscribe to their expensive plans. You can use free IPTV instead; you just need an IPTV app and an IPTV source. What Is an IPTV App? IPTV apps are a bit like Kodi; they are empty shells that can’t stream any content without some user input. You have the responsibility for adding channels, playlists, and other sources. Typically, you cannot use the apps to watch Netflix, Hulu, or direct content from other third-party providers.
