AMD to invest $400 million in India by 2028: Here’s what we know

US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru. AMD’s announcement was made by its Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster at an annual semiconductor conference that started Friday in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat. Other speakers at the flagship event include Foxconn Chairman Young Liu and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. Despite being a late entrant, the Modi government has been courting investments into India’s nascent chip sector to establish its credentials as a chipmaking hub. AMD said it will open its new design centre campus in Bengaluru by end of this year and create 3,000 new engineering roles within five years. “Our India teams will continue to play a pivotal role in delivering the high-performance and adaptive solutions that support AMD customers worldwide,” Papermaster said.

Siri can now read & reply to Telegram messages for iPhone & iPad users

The latest beta version of messaging application Telegram has added a new feature for iOS users that lets Siri read and reply to text messages. The feature dubbed Announce Messages will be made available to both iPhone & iPad users and it’s already been rolled out on the beta version of the app.

With the introduction of this feature, Telegram becomes the first third-party application to enable Apple’s Announce Messages feature, the8bit reported.

How to enable Announce Messages for Telegram?

iPhone & iPad users need to go to the Settings option in Telegram and go to Notifications. There you will get the option to activate the Announce Messages with Siri option. The report also says that the feature is currently supported only by Apple’s AirPods, AirPods Pro, Powerbeats, Powerbeats Pro, and Beats Solo Pro. Also, iOS devices running on iOS 13.2 and later are supported.

How Does Announce Messages Work?

Announce Messages on Telegram for iOS uses Siri to read incoming messages out loud when a user’s headphone is connected to their iPhone or iPad. Apple says that for the feature to work, the audio accessory must be connected to the iPhone and the device should be locked. When the user receives an incoming message, Siri plays a tone, announces the sender’s name and then reads the message sent.

Users also have the option to reply to the message after Siri is done reading the message. The AI will prompt for a response and you can narrate what exactly is to be sent. This is a great feature when your hands are busy turning the steering wheel, cooking or even hammering the keyboard.

Up until now, Apple’s native apps like Messages and the Home app offered support for this feature. The company even offered its Siri API to developers to come up with solutions that integrate Siri with Announce Messages but it’s only Telegram that’s come out with successful integration.

Telegram has its own popularity due to the additional security features it offers but it’s often overshadowed by the sheer overwhelming userbase that WhatsApp commands in the messaging apps ecosystem. This additional feature for Telegram users in iOS might help Telegram garner a few more users in the coming days.
