Yango Group has just introduced two new AI-enhanced smart speakers in the UAE. The Yasmina Midi and Yasmina Mini come equipped with a bilingual AI assistant with conversational skills in both Khaleeji Arabic and English, making interactions feel natural and culturally relevant.

Powered by Yango Group’s proprietary large language model (LLM), Yasmina can conduct lifelike conversations and even add a touch of humor with local jokes. The speakers’ features extend beyond basic conversation and can recognize up to four different family members by their voices and tailor content according to each individual’s preferences. By remembering users’ likes and dislikes, Yasmina can suggest music and other content based on personal tastes.

In addition, Yasmina can also display information such as the time and weather, while also conveying emotions through an LED screen. The dynamic lighting adjusts to match the ambiance of the music or the nature of the interaction.

Finally, for religious users, Yasmina can also recite surahs from the Quran, play Adhans, and provide the Hijri calendar date. Both speakers also offer prayer times for any global location.

Key Features Of Yasmina Smart Speakers

The Yasmina Midi speaker is designed for spaces up to 300 square feet, featuring three speakers, including a subwoofer and two tweeters, for a powerful, expansive sound. The more compact Yasmina Mini is ideal for smaller rooms up to 200 square feet, offering clear, balanced audio.

Both models prioritize privacy with a mute button that disconnects the microphones, preventing Yasmina from listening or responding to voice commands when activated. The speakers also function as smart home hubs, enabling users to control their environment using voice commands. Yasmina Midi includes Zigbee and Wi-Fi capabilities, while the Yasmina Mini connects to smart home systems via Wi-Fi.

Availability & Special Offers

Yasmina Midi and Yasmina Mini can be purchased from various retailers and online platforms across the UAE, including Virgin Megastore, Jumbo Electronics, Sharaf DG, and noon.com. The Yasmina Midi is priced at AED 449, and the Yasmina Mini is AED 279.

To enhance the smart speaker experience, Yango Group is also offering a 90-day free trial of Yango Play. With an active subscription, Yasmina can recommend and play content tailored to each family member’s preferences, making the listening experience more personalized.

Truecaller For iPhone Gets Real-Time Caller ID And Auto Spam Blocking

The latest update integrates with Apple’s Live Caller ID Lookup framework, launched with iOS 18 last year.

Truecaller has rolled out a major update for iPhone users, introducing API support that brings real-time caller identification and automatic spam blocking. The upgrade aims to bring the iOS version of the app closer to its Android counterpart, which has long offered these advanced call-screening features.

The latest update integrates with Apple’s Live Caller ID Lookup framework, launched with iOS 18 last year. The technology allows third-party apps to cross-check incoming calls against a database of known spam numbers in real-time. Importantly, the process employs “homomorphic encryption,” ensuring user privacy by masking the caller’s number, concealing the client’s IP address, and using anonymous authentication.

With this update, Truecaller has also introduced global automatic spam call blocking for iPhones. However, the real-time caller ID feature is being released gradually and is available only to Truecaller Premium subscribers on iPhones running iOS 18.2 or later. Free users will still have access to ad-supported features, such as manual number searches and caller identification for verified businesses.

How To Enable The New Features

To activate the new features, follow these steps:

  1. Update the Truecaller app to version 14.0 or newer via the App Store.
  2. Go to Settings > Apps > Phone > Call Blocking & Identification on your iPhone.
  3. Turn on all Truecaller toggles, then restart the app.

While these features are new to iOS, Truecaller has hinted at this update for months. Following Apple’s iOS 18 update and the introduction of its Live Caller ID API last September, Truecaller Co-founder Alan Mamedi shared his excitement on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “Truecaller finally works on iPhone”.

The global rollout of spam call blocking is already live, but users may need to wait for gradual access to the live caller ID feature.
