Older iPhone users should update the software

The Dhaka Times Desk The good news for older iPhone users is the software update. Those using iPhone SE, iPhone XR and later generation phones will receive this software update.

Apple has rolled out the iOS 17 update for these phones. However, iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus users will not get the benefit of this software update.

Apple has said that iPhones older than five years will not get this update either. Because, this update requires older version of iOS. A few months ago, Apple announced the rollout of iOS 17 at the WWDC 2023 event in June. It was released for beta testers then but now iOS 17 is released for all users.

Before updating the phone, you should also backup the iPhone first. If there is a problem during the update, your important photos or videos may also disappear.

# First connect your iPhone to a WiFi network.
# then go to Settings option, from there tap on General and then on Software Update.
# If you see iOS 17, tap Download and install it.
# Enter your passcode now.
# Now agree to the terms and conditions.
The # update will first download and then start installing. The process may also take some time.
Your iPhone will restart once the # update is installed.

How to prevent dengue

Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).

Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.

1. Common dengue fever

2. Dengue fever with bleeding.

In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-

1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.

2. Severe headache.

3. Pain behind the eyes.

4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.

5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.

6. Nausea or vomiting.

7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.

In case of dengue fever with bleeding:

1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.

2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.

If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.

On the other hand

Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.

Things to do to prevent Dengue:

1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.

2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.

3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.

4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.

5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.

6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.

7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.

8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
