UPI (Unified Payments Interface) is now available for international transactions in select countries, including Nepal, Singapore, UAE, Canada, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and France. To use UPI abroad, you'll need to ensure that your bank supports international UPI transactions and activate the international transaction feature for your account. Keep in mind that your bank may charge a foreign exchange fee for this service.

Here are the steps to make a UPI payment abroad:

1. Open your UPI-enabled mobile application (such as Google Pay, Paytm, or PhonePe).
2. Select the "UPI International" option in the app.
3. Choose the country where you want to make the payment.
4. Scan the QR code or enter the recipient's UPI ID.
5. Enter the amount you wish to transfer.
6. Complete the transaction using your UPI PIN.

Remember to always check with your bank for any fees or limitations associated with international UPI transactions.

Apple's claim that new European rules will make it cheaper to attack iPhones is a concern, as the changes to the App Store and iOS in the European Union (EU) could potentially introduce new vulnerabilities. The Digital Markets Act (DMA) requires Apple to allow users in the EU to download apps from stores not operated by Apple and to use alternative payment methods. While Apple is introducing safeguards to reduce these risks, such as notarisation for iOS apps and app installation sheets, there is still a possibility of increased security risks and vulnerability to hacking.

The DMA is designed to make the digital economy fairer by removing unfair advantages that tech giants hold over businesses and consumers. However, it also introduces changes that could potentially impact security and privacy.
